do my journaling in the morning, I have my little
plant light. So I basically have a small greenhouse for
myself and I sit in there and I just get
as much vitamin D as I can in the morning
because I'm waking up. I hate the short days that

(02:17):

big way.

a cold pumpkin spy, you can't have an iced pumpkin spice.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
That that's ridiculous, right, You're just defeating the purpose of cozy,
you know what I mean? Not cozy, it's dying. It's
not very high. That's too hig Who got that? It's
a Danish word? No, no, no, I get to correct you.
I only know this because I lived in Denmark for
four months and so h y g e is yes, yes, yes,

(03:02):

thing in Denmark. They strive for.

Speaker 2 (03:08):

outside so and then you got Thanksgiving and then yeah,
it's like one big holiday.

Speaker 2 (08:53):

the with the Halloween and the pumpkins and whatever. You
can kind of throw some of the pumpkin in there
and then the Halloween and then the other things are left.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Legos just started that. How many pieces is that?

Speaker 2 (09:37):
I'm not sure how many pieces, but it's like three.
It's like the Halloween town. So it's like three little builds,
like separate buildings.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
That kind of all connect together. Nice.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
So I just started that because I couldn't started in
September because it's not Halloween.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
No. No, you're a purist. I can tell you're a
purest pump spice. You're like a little OCD about it.
But what else? It's I admire that you commit, you
have boundaries in an.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Area in my life that I have any form of
self restraint and uh and planning ability and.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
So yeah, I don't know, Oh god, it was this good.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
You know, planning marriages?

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Okay, you can plan Halloween though, dang it.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
I can plan I can well. Yeah, look, I guess
I'm good at planning scary things.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Okay, yes you are, you are? Oh oh my how
are you? What are you? What's good you? I never
texted you back. Sorry, but when you texted me one
day and I was like, I can't talk. I'm a
Joey McIntyre's show, I can't talk.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
So I just was like, justrified that I even thought
of interrupting, didn't you.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
I didn't have it on my calendar that Andrea was
going to the Joey mcdie.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
I'm sorry I failed. You didn't know. I'm just kidding.
I just didn't need to blow you off, but I
knew you would understand that blow me blew you away. Yeah,
you circle back the next day. I was like, no,
not a circle back.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
No, not a loop around, not a touch base, no nothing.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
No, I could you exited my mind? I thought of
I didn't think of you again until right now. So
sorry about that.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
Welcome to my world. This is if I have like
zero object permanence, if it's a drawer, I.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Forget I have it, okay, Like I have to look
at things. So you're a visual Yeah, I'm a visual
person too.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Speaking of visuals, how was the Joey McIntyre It was
so good?

Speaker 1 (11:25):
You get was the seats good? Were great? Like the whole.
First of all, the whole weekend was one of the
best weekends I've had in such a long time. My
friends Katie from Connecticut Andrea from Arizona, Uh, they flew
out and stayed with me for the weekend, and it
was just such perfect timing. Not that we had planned
it this way, but with you know, losing Holly a

(11:46):
couple of weeks ago, and I just in my half.
I needed a distraction, I needed friends, I needed laughter,
and they provided all of it. It was so fun.
They went to They went with me to Felicity show
Choir performance, her performance, which was fantastic. We went to Alcholo,
which is fantastic. We went to a little Korean mall

(12:06):
and got some skincare which was fantastic, and then we
saw you know. The the ultimate was the Joe Mack
his Freedom Tour, which kicked off in Anaheim at the
House of Blues on Monday night, and he was fantastic.
I expect nothing less. I mean I stressed all day
about like logistics and what, you know, where are we
gonna have dinner and what when do we have to

(12:26):
check in? And where? No. I was just playing no, no, no, no, no,
it doesn't matter. But the logistics of me getting to
this event almost as complicated as Planet a whole tour,
because you know, it's like when does the box office open?
On my tickets? At the box office, I don't know.
Michael's like, why did you just text him and ask
him where your tickets are? And I'm like, no, I
don't want to disturb him. No, he's in like prep mode.

(12:48):
I'm not going to disturb him, so I'm just gonna
go up. But I mean, I feel like he should
have let you know he's before that. He's a boy.
He's a boy. He's just like, hang got you.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
But like this, you know, you gotta be like, yo,
where's where do I pick him up?

Speaker 1 (13:00):
We'll call your pocket? What are we you talking? Well,
the first mistake was we showed up an hour early,
Like the ticketmaster said that the show started at seven,
but it was doors at seven. Shows starts at eight,
So he showed up two hours early and my tickets
were not at will call. But she's like, oh, yeah,
the artist sometimes holds back tickets so he can give

(13:20):
them to you in person. And I'm like, I try
not to bother him, Like I don't want like, just
if he is holding on to them.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
To give to you, he realizes there is going to
be an interaction that is obviously not bothersome times.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
What if he's in sound check, what if he's like
having a meal. I don't know. I didn't want to
bother him. Probably wait and be like, yo, I'll hit
you at fifteen. Anyways, the lovely tour manager shout out
to Justin. He came out and didn't have tickets, but
he was like, oh, let me personally escore you. We
created a row for you. And I'm like what. So
then I overanalyzed this and I'm like, did Joe forget

(13:55):
about me and this is the last minute, let's add
a row for Andrew because we're sold out? Or did
was he like, Oh, she's a special guest. I'm going
to create a row for her. I still haven't decided whether,
you know what, how I'm going to interpret this gesture,
But it was a lovely gesture. We had great season,
not front row. We were in the back of like
a section that was on the stage stage. No, no,

(14:16):
I was the crown of every shot. I would have.
I would have, but I absolutely would have. The show
was fantastic. There's nothing better than solo Joe. I love
all the new kids, but he really shines when it's
just him. Yeah, saying all of his newest hits on
his Freedom album. He's sang some deep cuts. He sings
Please Don't Go Girl. I mean it was just the

(14:37):
lighting was so good, he sings, was so much heart. Yeah.
He wore a mesh shirt as a throwback to the nineties.
It was just everything. No, no, it's perfection shirt. I
love it shirt. Yes, And his hair was kind of
like he had really high like the boy band hair
was extra boy bandish. He looked a little bit like
like a porcupine, very high. Yeah, I had like this sculp.

(15:00):
It was well sculpted. Yeah. I was just Oh, it
was such a great night. And we did get to
go backstage and say hi to him. He was very
kind and sat with us for ten minutes and we
chatted just about that huge.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Tour bother for him.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
I bet I thought it was really I didn't want
to him. I never I don't have it. I show
up without expectations. I just you know, it happened organically
and it was so lovely and he's just so kind,
So I'm sure he's listening to this. Thank you Joey
McIntyre for it, obvious night. Who knows he's on tour
right now. He's up in Sacramento on his way. I

(15:35):
think Favor is next. Yeah, so travel, what are you
gonna do?

Speaker 3 (15:37):
You listen to a podcast?

Speaker 1 (15:39):
Oh yeah, that's true, your podcast got quite the road trip.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
You know. He's going acrosst the country driving in a
tour bus.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Oh, he's in a sprinter got three sprinter vans for
this tour. So so yeah, anyways, it was fantastic, fantastic. Yeah,
it was just the best weekend. I'm sad it's over,
but it was just it filled my soul with much
needed happiness that I really need it at that moment.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
So oh I love it.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
Well good, Yeah, I'm glad that. Uh yeah, we both

Speaker 2 (16:11):
You with your creepy creepy you with your boy band.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
You know, we're very on brand. We don't ever stray
from no else where. I'd like to think of it
as we know ourselves. You know what I mean? We
know thyself is very important. By the time you reach
your forties, your mid forties. You're like, I know, I
know me and I'm not going to change, so this
is rue.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
I remember, yeah, I remember thinking like when I was
young and looking at my parents being like starting to
go like I don't want.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
To do that.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
This is I'm setting my way and I was like, God,
I'll never be that old and boring.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
And now I just look at old and boring. I know,
now look at me.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
I wouldn't say you're boring, wouldn't mean say no, no,
I'm not boring you middle aged.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
I yeah, I'm I'm comfortable in my weirdom these days,
and I've just let the freak flag fly.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
You know, who wants to be boring? You know, like
just just be you, just be you, just be you.
There's only one. Yeah, that's it. Yeah Ah.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
I'm Kristen Davis, host of the podcast Are You a Charlotte.
I'm so excited to share that I got to sit
down with incredible Bridget moynihan, who plays Natasha Bigg's wife.
She is telling stories from the very beginning, like why
she almost left the audition.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
I'm calling my agents. I'm like, guys, I have to
go to the other one, and they're like stay for this.
You need to stay for this. I'm like, well, you
can't be late for the next one.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
She shares her thoughts on the Big and Carry affair.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
I think I actually said out loud sometimes like, no,
she was having an affair with my husband. Let's break
this down.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
And what it was like coming back to the show
when we did.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
And just like that, I love that it's Natasha who
is caring for her. Yes, I mean there really is
that bond between them. You can't miss this.

Speaker 4 (18:12):
Listen to Are You a Charlotte on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
Welcome back to how are You? Tannerito's I'm Andrea Barber
and I'm Jody Sweeten, and today we're discussing season five,
episode fifteen. Play it again, Jesse, and again and again,
again and again and again. I just sort, hey, I
welcome a good snort, you know, just fly your freak flag, Jody.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
And high into the Microsoft snort of I don't even
know what of judgment.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
A lot of judgment. That's a common reaction, I think. Anyways.
This episode originally air January seventh, nineteen ninety two.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
We're in the nineteen ninety two day week before my
tenth birthday.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Oh oh yeah, okay, so oh wait, that's the next episode.
We're discussing Stephanie's tenth birthday.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
But yeah, yeah, but we don't know what time of
year it is, do we No, not really, and it's
not very not very specific.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
So anyway, very yeah, this was Yeah, it was right
right before your real tenth birthday. Fantastic.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
Yeah, well, probably the episode that because it was in
the next week. I would imagine that probably the week
we shot it might have been my actual birthday.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
So maybe Stephanie's birthday is your actual birthday. Yeah, we'll
go with let's go with that like this. You know what,
a fan of Rito will correct us.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
If we've somewhere out there, if we've ever said birthdays
of Stephanie, Judith Tanner and uh Dona Joe almost said
Dona Joe, Gibbler Joe.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
That actually flows. Well, the episode goes a little something
like this. When Becky returns to work, Jesse is uncomfortable
with being a stay at home father to Nikki and Alex.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
I'm sure shocked.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
Lots to talk about here. This is so nineteen ninety one.
I did not ninety two. Yeah, this is ninety one.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
There's no excuse for ninety two, and we're still here,
no excuse for this episode.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
But you know that's okay. We're here to enjoy it.
It was directed by Joelswick. It was written by Dennis
Rinstler and Mark Warren. And we have two great guest stars.
Danny Breen plays George in the Supermarket. He did sixty
episodes of the series Not Necessarily The News in the eighties.

(20:35):
I remember that show. Yeah, me too, And he was
a producer on Whose Line Is It Anyway? And the
Wayne Brady Show. Yeah it's a great guy. Okay, he's
your favorite guest star, now favorite?

Speaker 3 (20:46):
Yeah? Whose Line Is It Anyway? Is one of my
favorite shows.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
It's just I based on a lot of like stupid
games and stuff that we played in my comedy show,
off of like things that I've that we've seen in
Whose Lines?

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Oh, that's a great a great place to find inspiration
for improv. Comedy. Improv doesn't get better, and it's so intimidating.
I really admire the actors that do that because that's hard.
It's like for someone like me who's anxious, I'm like
improv scares the heck out of me, so mad props
to these people. And next we have Greg Collins. He
returns to full House as a tough guy. We last

(21:22):
saw him in season three's Fraternity Reunion. He's the guy
in the prison. Uh, and well, so he got out,
he got out of prison, and yeah, he got out
of prison, got to the.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
Airport obviously, back to doing some shady transportation stuff with
the luggage.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Yeah, there's a con. There's some other con going down
in the air.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
There's so many drugs in that back.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Drill a lot. Yeah, and this is not the last
we'll see him. We'll see him again in season six,
episode nineteen, Subterranean Graduation Blues. I don't know what he's
doing in that episode, but I'm sure he's playing another
tough guy. Yeah, from the sewers. I don't know. I
don't know either. We got we have a whole season
to find out, so I will be waiting with baited breath.

(22:05):
So there's no teaser. We go straight to credits, and
then we are in the kitchen. Jesse is feeding Nikki
a bottle and jokes that the baby needs to save
room for the peaking duck. He laughs at his own
joke and says, oh, just a little solid food humor.
I don't know the last.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
Gone with the burrito myself, But peaking duck is funny,
king duck.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
Doesn't that a call back to another like when they
did the peaking peaking with the duck, the ceramic duck
in the kitchen, So I feel like that was a
callback to that. But whatever, Okay, not the strongest start
to the episode. But could have said fried chicken, Oh yeah,
cold fried chicken. It would have been funny. That would
have been funnier, yea. So then Jesse sets Nicky's car

(22:49):
seat right next to Alex's, and Becky walks downstairs, all
dressed for work and admires her boys. She says, oh,
I can't believe I have to go back to work already.
I'm gonna miss my pooky bear so much, and Jesse
reminds her you'll see them in an hour. You're putting
them on your show today. Becky whinds, but what if
they do something cute? What if they learn to talk?

(23:11):
And Jesse sarcastically responds, I'll have them call you. Then
Danny walks into the kitchen and tells Becky, they gotta go,
he adds with remorse, today's our big farewell to Vicky show.
And Becky puts a hand on her hip and Danny
gives her a smile and are even bigger, welcome back
Becky's show, and he gives Becky a kiss on the cheek.

(23:35):
Jesse is surprised to see Danny's cheerful demeanor. He thought
that he'd be down in the dumps about Vicky's last day.
Danny forces a smile down me, mister up, mister life
of the party. Oh yeah, man, let the good times roll.
Then he quickly changes his tone and begins to sob
Why did she have to go? I feel like we

(23:55):
haven't seen a whole lot of Danny and Vicky's Like
there's been a couple of miners couple, Yeah, but no,
like real it was all the storylines were about them
getting together. We haven't seen much of the current relationship.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
Yeah, we kind of went well, and it was sort
of a sudden jump from like they were sort of
liking each other to like she walked in the door
and gave him a kiss. Right, we had that moment
where we're like, oh, okay, we're there, right, yeah, it
was never. There was never like an episode where it
was like I think, I think, I think I'm gonna
make it official, right.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yeah, and then now she's leaving for Chicago. I know
she comes back because she's in the Disney World episode
whenever that is in the future, But I don't know
is she in any other episodes? Like, I don't know
what I was really enjoyed. Did you watch this one?
You know what? Excuse me a hiccup? Did you let me.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
Try that again?

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Did you watch this episode? Do you know? Uh, you
know what happens? Yeah, I know what happens, but she's
I'm just do you not getting rich of wed? No?
But I just spoil it, guys, But uh, Vicky stage,
it was just this was sudden. This just felt sudden
for me. I wish I could have seen more of
like build up to make this goodbye, the alleged goodbye. Yeah,

(25:06):
it wasn't a good not a good pay We have
a note. We have a note from our wonderful poster Maddie.
According to Google, Steph's birthday is January fourteenth, and DJ's
birthday is February ninth. Okay, all right, all right, so
like five days earlier. Okay, Like, I like, if you're
still you're still in the same horse. It still a capricorn,
Still a capricorn, right, yea, yeah, okay. So Joey walks

(25:30):
into the kitchen and greets everyone while staring up at
the ceiling. He's wearing his Ranger Joe uniform to remind
all of us that he's still employed, and has mister
Woodchuck at his side, who is also gazing at the ceiling.
Everyone stops what they're doing to look up to Danny
curiously asks what are we looking at? Ranger Joe. Joey
admits he has a stiff neck, saying I sure hope

(25:53):
my neck loosens up before my show or it's gonna
be bird watching day, which I would love, I would
tune in. I was like, this is right, you'd be like,
move out of the way, Ranger Joe.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
Kimmy's coming for Iteah, we've got the turkey vultures are
now out encircling my house.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
That's it's turkey vulture season. Those ugliest birds I've ever seen.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
I know because there were several that fell out of
a nest in Zoe's dad's backyard. Showed me like they
it looked like the fledging didn't maybe go or something.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
They were common. But yeah they're massive. Oh yeah, they're
huge and ugly and but you're fascinating to watch. Oh totally.
So then mister Woodchuck shines in. Yeah, we can look
for woodpeckers. Becky makes a joke, well, Joey, keep your
chin up. Ha I guess you have no choice, and

(26:48):
then Danny, Becky and Joey exit the kitchen. You notice
that Joey consistently has these anthropomorphic objects that are always
matching what he's doing. The mannequin always was wearing the
same outfit as him. Mister Woodchuck is like looking up
like him. Yeah, this is a fascinating psychological study. Why
is like what doesn't need a best friend?

Speaker 2 (27:10):
There's probably some some sort of like trauma in his
in his childhood from that very strict father, and so
he inadimate objects to uh sort of channel himself through
it so he can be himself. But it's sort of
through the lens of the puppet, so it's not really
you know, it doesn't doesn't feel too personal.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Yeah, subjection doesn't take on that Yeah, yeah, yeah, the
emotion to do the things.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
But he yeah, Oh, I'm I'm going to go get
a puppet.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
This makes a lot of sense and explains a lot
about Joey Gladstone.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
Yeah, and why he doesn't have a girlfriend.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
Right doesn't need one, He's got inadimant objects to talk to.
On cue, Michelle, DJ and Stephanie walk downstairs, all ready
for school. DJ is sternly telling Steph forget it. You
cannot borrow my clothes. Stephanie begs please. DJ says no.
They go back and forth until Steph says please please please.

(28:06):
Michelle pipes up to take the reins. She tells DJ,
I'll do it and wags her finger at Steph, saying no, no, no.
DJ focuses her attention on Steph once more. Remember my
clothes are untouchable, off limits. This means you understand, And
with that she walks out the door. Steph solemnly responds,

(28:27):
I understand. But as soon as DJ's out of the door,
she turns to Michelle and unzips her jacket. Not I'm
wearing DJ's sweater. Michelle gasps in complete shock. She's gonna
have a cow. Jesse hands Michelle and stephanieither sit under
the table. Yeah, the cow in the kitchen.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
There's a cow in the cow in the kitchen.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Under the table. For anyone who doesn't know what we're
talking about, there was an episode of Fuller House with
a cow, a life sized real cow.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
That Jeff wanted to fit under the table that could
not physically happened in this.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
And Jeff was like, well, what we have to make
the joke work. So the cow has to fit under
the table. And the handler's like, like, the cow wolt
fit at the table.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
You're looking at the same cow. I am right, Yeah, anyways,
I love that cow.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
Back to the cows. Okay, So Jesse hands you guys
your lunches and these tiny little lunch like these are
not the regular brown bag lunches. It's like their tiny
little I don't know, pastry bags or something. But anyways,
I was worried that you guys were going to be
hungry at school later with your lack of lunch.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
The kids are they get to that age and they're like,
they don't eat, they're eating anything all day.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Yeah, that's true. That's why they, you know, raid the
snack cupboard when they get home from school. Uh So,
Jesse checks on the twins and then the phone rings.
He answers it and excitedly tells the boys that it's
the record company. Here we go? Which one this time?
Which one?

Speaker 2 (29:52):
Which one the Wisch record said that already put them
on tour or the one that canceled the tour or
the one that said, I don't use which record company
were it?

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Yes? I think it's intentionally vague. I don't know what are.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
We talking Yeah, just death Row? Like what record company
are we talking about here?

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Jesse?

Speaker 3 (30:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Yes, please be more specific, Jesse. Uh so, he asks
the person on the other line, tell me you love
the song? You like the song? He starts to ramble, Oh, well,
maybe you can learn to love it. I mean like
as a kid, I hated blue cheese. I thought it
was like eating sweat socks. But eventually and the person
on the other end says something in Jesse's demeanor turns

(30:32):
to sadness. Right, okay, I'm sorry too, and he hangs
up the phone. He lets out a huge sigh and
tells his sons, your old man got rejected again, but
you still love me? Right? And the baby stare at
him blankly. In response, he.

Speaker 5 (30:48):
He's gone from job to job and tour to record
studio in the basement to the thing to add man,
I think I think Jesse's.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Doing he's he's an artist. Rejection.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
Yeah, rejection, very seriously, if you're gonna be an artist,
you have to get used to rejection and insistent.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yeah it is not easy. He's he's comforting himself by
trying to get validation from his infants, like, yeah, this
is he's taken it. He's taking it badly. But yeah,
that's what when you're a musician, when you're an artist,
this is what happens. Sometimes you're out of work. Uh,
And he says that in the same book, out of
work high fives, out of work high fives, and he

(31:33):
high fives his babies. Next, on the set of Wake
Up San Francisco, First, Danny and Vicky start the show
together and sadly, Vicky announces that this is her last
day because Becky is back from maternity leave. She longingly
looks at Danny it admits I'm gonna miss you, Danny.
Danny stares right back, starts to lean in and says, oh, Vicky.

(31:54):
He continues to almost kiss her on air, but thankfully
he stops himself and says, you know, I just forgot
we're still on camera. They both turned to the camera
and awkwardly laugh. Then Danny announces that he has a
surprise for her. I spoke to our station manager and
he wants you to do the weather reports right here
on Wake Up San Francisco. Isn't that wonderful? And Vicki

(32:17):
WinCE's at the suggestion, Uh, it would be, except this morning,
I was offered an incredible job anchoring the news in Chicago.
It's a no brainer to me.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
Yeah, she was a news anchor, right, the weather girl.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
That would be a demotion.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
Excuse me, not a weather meteorologist. Meteorology just sounded very sexist,
and I Apologizell, it's not what I meant.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
That's okay, But it felt like that was what they
were calling her, you know what I mean, That's what
the It felt like, going from like, hey, you're actually
a really downed news anchor.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
Would you like to host the weather? Yeah? It was
a little no, there's anything. No, we need meteorologists, we
need their important job that there.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
We actually uh have anything to have them meteorologize off
of anymore, because I think we pretty much got rid
of all those things.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
Well, yeah, you know, just Loo. Yeah, the sky is
still there. Okay, So Danny wonders, Chicago, the windy City.
You'll have to wear a hat, you'll get hat hair.
Vicky admits that they'll have to talk about this after
the show, and she tries to bring Becky on stage,
but Danny won't let it go. Chicago, didn't they have

(33:25):
a really big fire there? Vicky assures him it was
over one hundred years ago. I'm sure it's out by now.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
I mean San Francisco too, Yeah, yeah, you really want
to do you have some terrible fires.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
There's been a lot of disasters in both major cities.
So this was, yeah, weak excuse for Danny, but he's desperate.
He's grasping at straws. He doesn't want her to leave. Finally,
Becky takes things into her own hands, stepping into the
shot and introducing herself. Hi, I'm Rebecca Donaldson and I'm
welcoming myself back to the show. Welcome back, Becky, and

(33:58):
Vicky and Danny both smile. Welcome back, Becky. Becky proceeds
with her segment, telling the viewers, I would like all
of you to meet the two reasons that I've been
out of work for the last eight weeks. Ah, eight weeks.
I was wondering how long was this maternity leave?

Speaker 2 (34:12):
So two months, maybe longer than anybody gets in this country.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
Yeah right, that's a really long maternity right, so that's
a europe maternity leave. Yeah. Yeah, sad but true. So
she says, Nicky and Alex come on in, boys and
this is my wonderful husband Jesse. Becky boasts that the
boys are identical twins and jokes except Alex has a
birthmark on his tissue, just like his daddy. Jesse is

(34:39):
completely embarrassed and starts to walk off the set, but
Becky forces him back and tells everyone she is so
proud of him because today he's going to take care
of the kids, do the shopping, do the laundry, and
cook a wonderful dinner. Jesse tries to maintain some of
his macho ness, and right after that, I'm going to
rustle a bob kat with my bear hands. Sure you're Jesse,

(35:02):
he's very threatened. He's very well yeah right, no, right,
have you seen this guy in play sports? Yeah, you know,
he's this is just this is just the beginning of
uh oh, I know this storyline. So yes, Jesse's upset,
Jesse's threatened, Jesse's ubsess, He's just upset. Next, at the
grocery store, Jesse is shopping with the boys. He jokingly

(35:23):
weighs one of the babies on the produce scale, have
mercy fourteen pounds? Have you guys been sneaking down to
the kitchen eating cheeseburgers at night? He continues shopping with
one baby strapped to his chest and the other seated
in the shopping cart. He grabs a melon and explains
to the boys, this is what you're gonna look like
if you don't start growing hair. It's very obsessed with

(35:46):
these boys growing hair.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
Well, yeah, it's like honeydew from the Muppets.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's super cool.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
So can we look at the grocery prices please and
just have a moment.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
I was startled, stunned.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
Ninety nine cents for cauliflour and seventy nine cents for
egg plants.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
Wow, wow, under a dollar? Under a dollar? Yes, I
know it's it's depressing.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
It's depressing when you've got to take out a loan
to get more than one egg plant these days. I know,
if you want a dozen eggs, whipp forget it.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
That's not it. That's like a much payment. Yep, yeah,
you better own own chickens, grow your own vegetables in
the backyard with the.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
Other and easily spent like two and a half times
as much.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
For what I always I was like, yeah, Trader Joe's
what are you doing?

Speaker 1 (36:40):
I know, I know it's depressing. It is depressing to
have to eat in this these days.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
But we can always dream of seventy nine cent egg plants,
which sounds not the way I meant it.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
I mean, you can dream of that too, if.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
You like, I guess some people do for seventy eggs.
That sounds disappointing, you know, not when you'd want to
discount egg plant.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
So then stephan Michelle appear from one of the aisles.
Stephanie has her arms full of junk food and states,
I got our dinner, Uncle Jesse. Jesse shakes his head
in disapproval. I'm not buying all that junk food. Michelle
waves a box of vanilla cookies in his face. Well,
you better buy these cookies. I already ate four. She
shoves another cookie into her mouth. And corrects herself, I mean.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
Five love a good Nilla Waifer. Oh yeah, it's good stuff.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
She turns to find a row of featured cereal and
screams at the top of her lungs, Billy Bunny Cereal.
I gotta have it. Jesse tries to reason with her.
Let me tell you something, just because there's some goofy
character on the box doesn't mean the product is any good.
Then something on the shelf catches his eye. He runs
to pick up a jar and exclaims, Oh my god,

(37:52):
Elvis peanut butter. Steph wonders, isn't that the same thing
as Billy Bunny cereal? Mean you're not wrong, I'm not wrong,
Jesse defends himself. No, it's not. Elvis is a man,
not a cartoon. Now what do you guys want, smooth
or hunka hunka chunka. I'll take both. That was clever.
Hunka hunka chunka.

Speaker 5 (38:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
I was like, Oh that's actually that's good. That was clever.
Jesse walks back to the cart and lovingly bends down
to Nikki, but his face sours when he smells him
he needs a diaper change before they head to the
diaper aisle, Jesse has a temporary solution. He sticks an
air freshener to the baby's bottom to help with the smell.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
Then he reminds that sound any weird chemical on your
baby's body?

Speaker 1 (38:40):
It was, I know, remember those ones? Those are the
word there smell.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
So often terrible yeahs, and it makes me want a gags.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
I'm like, oh god, it smells like a puppet. It
makes it worse. Yeah, whatever you whatever smell you're trying
to get rid of, is.

Speaker 3 (38:54):
Much moreferable to those those distinct things. Yeah, gas station
vibes totally.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
Yeah. So then he reminds Michelle and Stuff that they
need milk and bread, So the girls run to the
aisle on the right. Jesse yells out, no more junk
food and on cue Michelle and Stuff run out of
that aisle and over to the correct one. That's a
good bit, good little bit there. Jesse continues to contradict
himself as he runs over to the Elvis peanut butter

(39:23):
and stalks up on an ungodly amount. Who needs that
much peanut butter? Jesse does. As he's loading up his cart,
another dad walks up to him and says, hey, I
saw you on TV this morning. Obviously.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
Do you think that they meant to make him look
like the live action version of Ned Flanders.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
Because he one, Oh yeah, he really does well. He's
supposed to be. I mean, I think he's supposed to
be like a nerd. He thought he was going to
be going to neighbor.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
I was waiting for it, yeah, or pop out of
a bush or something.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
Yeah, No, I was he Yeah, he's not. This isn't
supposed to be a cool dad. He's supposed to be
kind of a nerve. But he worried. The mustache, the sweater,
the hair, the voice. He was Ned Flanders, he was
in the flesh, he was. He nailed it. He absolutely
nailed it. It was perfect. The man goes on to say
you're Rebecca's husband, Jesse Donaldson, and Jesse looks like he

(40:30):
got punched in the gut. He corrects the man, it's Kitsopolis,
Jesse Kitsopolis. The man shrugs, whatever, I'm George. It's nice
to meet another house husband, and he reaches out to
shake Jesse's hand. Jesse chuckles and tells George that he
is not a house husband. He's a musician. George nods
with understanding. Yeah, I'm a screenwriter. Jesse continues to explain himself. Look,

(40:54):
I'm just doing this because my career is temporarily on hold. Okay, again,
George knows how he's feeling. I said the same thing
to my wife when she went back to work. That
was four years ago, and Jesse is in disbelief. So
for four years, all you've done is take care of
the kids in the house.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
This that line made me want to slap.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
Yeah, this is this, This is.

Speaker 3 (41:19):
Was I was like, oh, this didn't age.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
Well yeah I know, yeah, yeah, yeah, and yeah, I've
got I got I got more thoughts. I'll save I'll
save them. But it was very nineteen ninety two. You
wouldn't see this storyline today.

Speaker 3 (41:32):
Very nineteen seventy two, sixty two, really really two, I
don't know, it was very Yeah it's old.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
Old school. Uh, George clarifies, well, of course not. I
mean there's the shopping carpools and my favorite soap, General Hospital.
Lovely nod to John's former show when he was on
General Hospital. Then George says he has to run and
tells Jesse he'll see him on Thursday for double coupon day.

(41:57):
Jesse responds under his breath, Hope I can sleep Wednesday night.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
Then we switch the twins. You gotta save every cent
you can.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
Yeah, you need as much sleep as you can get.
We switch over to Steph and Michelle's grocery adventures. Now
they're at a Funky Frank's sample table eating little hot dogs.
Steff admits these Funky Franks are pretty good. I better
try a few more, just to make sure. She grabs
a hot dog and a mustard bottle. But when she

(42:25):
squeezes the mustard, it lands all over DJ's sweater.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
In a totally not staged easy. Uh looks like it
just happened sort of way.

Speaker 3 (42:36):
Yeah, not at all, not at all staged. Your your
prop work was excellent, Tear. I was like, oh, it
was great, it really, but it's like, don't.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
Make it on the hot dog. I was right, don't
make wait, make sure hold it. So Yeah, props are
stressful when you're a kid, especially, props could be very
stress when you have to do two props, one in
each hand. That's it's hard to do.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
I can't act and do props at the same time.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
That's it's too much multitasking for us.

Speaker 5 (43:03):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (43:03):
So Michelle's eyes widen uh oh, and stuff starts to panic.
What have I done? I got mustard on DJ's sweater.
Michelle admits she's gonna have a cow. Steph is frantically
wiping the sweater as she responds, tell me something I
don't know, So Michelle does yesterday I dropped your toothbrush
in the toilet. Stephanie looks at her in disbelief, and

(43:29):
you're definitely, You're definitely got. So that was a great line.
I mean, the delivery was just fantastic. So then Jesse
walks over and tells them all they need now are
paper towels. Michelle walks over to the nearby paper towel
tower and says I'll get one. She goes to grab

(43:49):
one on the bottom, but Jesse stops her. Hold it.
You never take from the bottom, always from the top.
Like this. You see, as he grabs a paper towel
roll from the top, he accidentally bumps into it and
knocks the whole thing down.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
I mean, this looked about as realistic as the mustard,
so I didn't take it so hard, right, I.

Speaker 1 (44:08):
Was like, you know what, that wasn't.

Speaker 3 (44:11):
Really believable either, So I'm gonna take yeah, and yeah,
I'll take it.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
No one's doing no one's doing believable accidental prop, prop
and more.

Speaker 3 (44:20):
Accidents are so hard to do on camera because you.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
Have to be very right. You have to execute it
exactly the way the director wants you to execute it,
but make it look like.

Speaker 3 (44:32):
It's not make it look like it's an accident.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
It's actually very stressful. I totally agree. Uh, and Michelle's
snarkily says, I could have done that. And you know,
stuff is always getting into trouble with DJ's sweaters. You know,
you stole the sweater and little shop of sweaters. She'd learn.
I know, I take the sweaters. Just enough of the sweaters.
Wear your own clothes, Stephanie. That's that's the lesson. Here

(44:58):
in the kitchen, Jesse is cooking dinner while Michelle sets
the table. Then steph walks down the stairs and announces,
I'm too full to eat dinner. Now I know why
they call them funky franks. So Jesse instructs Michelle to
take one plate away. She pretends it's a magic trip,
magic trick, saying now you see it, now you don't.

(45:19):
Then a timer buzzes and Steph exclaims, that's my laundry.
Jesse tells the girls he'll be right back. He just
needs to check on the boys. Steph opens the dryer
and tells her little sister, I threw DJ's sweater in.
I hope that mustard stain came out. Then she holds
up the sweater and screeches, ah, it shrank. Michelle is

(45:40):
happy about this. That will fit my Barbie on cue.
The door opens and DJ and Kimmy come walking in.
Steph quickly tries to hide the sweater behind her back
and slowly backs out of the kitchen. She casually says, stage,
my loving sister, how nice to see you. I'm just
gonna go to the living room and practice my moonwalk.

(46:02):
DJ and Kimmy sherry puzzled look as Steph shows off
her moves and DJ scoffs Steph, the eighties are over.
I enjoyed your moonwalk. That was a thank you, well
executed moonwalk.

Speaker 2 (46:13):
You know it was better than I expected. Yeah, I expected,
oh no, and that I didn't fall down backwards. I'm fine,
but you're fine bits walking forwards that you have a trouble.

Speaker 1 (46:21):
It was the forward direction that's difficult. Then Jesse walks
back in and tells DJ and Kimmy that they're just
in time for dinner. DJ responds, Oh, sorry, uncle Jesse,
but Kimmy and I are going to go study at
the library. We'll catch a burger on the way. Jesse
puts a hand on his hip. Is that the thanks
I get for slaving over a hot stove all day?

(46:44):
And John could not get this line right. I vividly
remember him mixing up the words and saying like, stay,
is this what I get for staving over a slow.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
Hot at once you get that in your head, you're like,
that's it.

Speaker 1 (46:59):
I can't My mouth is not going to work the
other way. Yes, I don't know how many takes we
did of this, but he could not. Yeah, he just
couldn't do it. But he apparently did it once because
it made the final cut here. So Kimmy reacts, boy,
you sound just like my mom, only more bitter. Jesse
aggressively points to the door and responds, prompting Kimmy and
DJ to leave. Michelle walks back to the table and sighs,

(47:23):
there goes another plate. Then Joey walks in. This time
he and mister Woodchuck are looking down at the floor.
Jesse asks, did you lose something? Joey says, yeah, the
use of my neck. I tried to crack it myself.
Do you know it's amazing how many people need shoeshine?
Why is he carrying the puppet in? I don't know,

(47:43):
Like this is a bit I'm telling you. This is
his anthropomorphic bits, right, that's right. I forgot his trauma response. Yeah, yeah,
it's yeah. The puppet talks for him, right right?

Speaker 3 (47:56):
No?

Speaker 1 (47:56):
This, yeah, this, I mean, Dave is committed to this
so great, but it's kind often the way it's written.
You So, did you get.

Speaker 2 (48:06):
Out of your car and put the puppet back on
your hand before you unlocked the door after? Like you
know what I mean, it's just how'd you drive home
if you can only look at the ground?

Speaker 1 (48:17):
Were you on the bus? Did you take the puppet
on the bus? Ticket? Hold on? There's a lot of questions.
Don't pull that thread, Just don't pull that thread, like it.

Speaker 3 (48:25):
Does a puppet need a ticket on the bart system?

Speaker 1 (48:27):
I don't know. Oh, well this one does, because it's
this one does. Joey thinks it's a real, real character,
So yeah, I would say yes, So Jesse wonders where's
Becky and Danny. Joey tells them they had to work late,
which means they'll be late for dinner. Jesse instructs Michelle
to take away two more plates, and she huffs, why
do I even bother?

Speaker 6 (48:48):
Damn?

Speaker 1 (48:48):
They host a morning show and they're gonna miss dinner. Yeah,
that's a long work day, very long. Worse people. I
know they do morning shows.

Speaker 3 (48:54):
You're like, I love this job because I'm done by
eleven thirty, Right.

Speaker 1 (48:58):
That's the whole point of getting up at four am.
You're done?

Speaker 3 (49:01):
Yeah, well, you know they have to produce it all themselves.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
Oh that's right. They do everything, including costuming and props
and set design, hair makeup. Yeah. So Joey breaks some
more news. I gotta go see a chiropractor, so I'm
not going to be here for dinner either. Jesse holds
up the number one to Michelle, so she removes another plate,
asking what is this a joke? Then Joey asks Jesse

(49:26):
for a favor, can you sew this button onto mister Woodchuck,
and Jesse sarcastically responds, oh love to Joey walks out
of the kitchen with his head held low. Boy, this
floor needs a wax job, Jesse. He feels surprising for Danny.
You think it would be freshly waxed, right, But Danny's
been at the he's been at the set all day.
He's been in Vicki Land.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
He neglected his floors, neglected the job. The floor waxing.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
It's understandable. Yep, so Jesse complains. Not only am I
mister mom, I'm mister Woodchuck's mom. And he sets the
puppet down on the counter. He grabs the pot of
food and sets it on the table, and then he
slumps down next to Michelle in defeat. She wonders, are
you totally bummed? And he nods, yeah, totally. She insists,

(50:14):
go ahead tell me all about it.

Speaker 3 (50:17):
Have a seat in my office, sir. She knows the
doctor is in.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
That's a good therapist right there. She knows that he
needs to talk. And she's just encouraging something wrong with you.

Speaker 3 (50:27):
You look like an adult in need of some emotional
assistance from a child. Yeah, you know.

Speaker 1 (50:32):
I mean, at least he's using an actual human being
and not a puppet or a mannequin. So true.

Speaker 3 (50:37):
Yeah, everybody in this house has some communications.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
You have some issues. Yeah, so, Jesse admits, I'm just afraid,
you know what if I never get a record deal again.
I mean, is this it for me? Didn't you already
have a record deal and a confusion?

Speaker 3 (50:54):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (50:55):
We're gonna have to ask Jeff about this. Jesse continues,
I mean, is this it for me? Cooking, cleaning, watching
the kids while Becky's at work. I got to make
some changes in my life. Michelle asks, can we eat
dinner first? Jesse laughs and scoops some dinner onto her plate, saying,
I hope you're hungry because it's just you and me eating.

(51:17):
Michelle responds, I think you forgot somebody on cue. Comet
runs in and snatches his bowl from the ground. He's
such a good boy. He's such a good boy. He's
so happy in this scene, presents the bowl to Jesse,
who serves him some food, saying bonea petite comet, and
Comet goes to town on his chow so good. Next

(51:47):
to the living room, Jesse is rocking the twins in
their swings as he sews the button on mister Woodchuck.
He tells the puppet, all right, there your button's on,
you saw dust sucking tree freak. It's creative like that.
He he Jesse loves to insult like everything. But I'm like,
it's that funny. That's his communications.

Speaker 3 (52:10):
He's just help everything because he's just right right, because.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
It's just he's got to make it.

Speaker 3 (52:14):
He's got to make it stupid so that he feels
better about himself.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
Yeah, I guess that's excelling.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
You know, Dave has to distance himself or not Dave.
Joey has to distance himself from the emotions with the puppet.
Oh okay, and uh and Danny. I don't think has
really ever dealt with the death of Pam.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
No, no, he hasn't spoke of her. He's just shoved
that far down and it's not going to deal with
that ever.

Speaker 3 (52:38):
You know what, it's good to know that even the
Tanners struggle a little bit with Uh. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:43):
It explains a lot about this family. Actually, it explains
an awful lot. So Jesse makes eye contact with the
woodchuck and snarks. Oh, so you have no snappy comebacks?
Since Joey's hand isn't up your back, huh.

Speaker 3 (52:57):
You know he wanted to say up your butt.

Speaker 1 (52:58):
I know. Oh yeah, that, I'm sure he did on
several takes. I didn't make it to the to the
final cut. So when mister Woodchuck doesn't respond, Jesse says,
that's what I thought and tosses him onto a chair.
Then beyn, I know, like that seems that seems illegal
to be well, I should say that you're the one

(53:20):
that broke mister woodchuck stand nineties broke his stand.

Speaker 3 (53:25):
And then he came to the next one with a
half terrible hat stand. It didn't even prop him up.
I was like, that's my fault.

Speaker 1 (53:31):
That's because of you. Jodie Sweet. I know you should
feel bad, but that's okay. The puppet himself is still intact.
I feel bad. So Becky and Danny walk in from work.
Becky apologizes for missing dinner, and Danny begins to confide
in his brother in law. I should be happy about
Vicky's new job in Chicago, and I am, but I'm
feeling a little guilty that I'm not happy enough, you know.

(53:55):
Danny doesn't let anyone answer and just continues to babble.
I think I hid my feelings pretty well, although I
did weep all over her. Goodbye Ice cream cake. I'm
fine about this, I really am. Then he laughs and asks,
do you guys know any good therapists? I'll be leaving now,
and he promptly exits the living room. Yeah, where there's
one of the lives in the house. Right, Well, Jess's

(54:16):
not going to share. Jesse's not going to share his therapist.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
Her client list. I mean, she's got so many she
can't take.

Speaker 1 (54:22):
On another, she cannot take on one more client. Yeah,
she's very busy. So Becky and Jesse both sarcastically agree
that he's taking this well. Then Becky asks Jesse about
his day. He admits, well, the record company called. They
didn't like my demo. Becky is sympathetic. They like the tour. Yeah,

(54:43):
he's going to be going to Japan. It's in some
one of these upcomings. He hasn't even gone to Japan. Kay,
So like, just wait, did he I think he did
does go to Japan? But did he already? No? No,
I don't know what season that is. But yeah, just
hang tight there, Jesse. Your your moment to shine will come.
Just you know, calm down. Jesse goes on to say,

(55:05):
it's all right, I'm shaking things up. I got myself
a gig tonight. I'm playing with an oldies band at
the Airport Lounge. And Becky is surprised by this the
airport lounge. Honey, isn't that a step down? Kind of
that's kind of harsh hard, I know, I agree. I thought, Hey,
a job is a job, and when you're an artist,
you take what you I was kind of proud of

(55:26):
Jesse for just taking whatever.

Speaker 3 (55:29):
Yeah, you know what I'm gonna do this just feel
a little better about myself. I have something to do,
and that's really what it's.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
About, right Becky. This is the one rare occasion when
Becky supportive person where I'm.

Speaker 3 (55:41):
Like, wow, Becky, that was yeah, Yeah, I agree, I
totally agree.

Speaker 1 (55:46):
Jesse defends himself, Nah, it's music, it's a paycheck, and
then he jokes besides, I got a real nice coloring
book and those little wings. Becky can't hide her sadness.
I've been gone all day. I mean, this was supposed
to be our time to other. Jesse responds with frustration, Well,
this is my time to make some money for my family.
Becky counters, I make more than enough money to support

(56:09):
our family, and Jesse's tone changes thanks for reminding me.
Becky asks, what you have some problem with me making
a decent living. Jesse snaps, no, I have a problem
with me making a decent living.

Speaker 3 (56:23):
That's basically yes, yes, yes, that's just a longer answer yes,
too many words to say yes.

Speaker 1 (56:30):
Becky scoffs. Oh, okay, so now I know what argument
I'm in. This is about your stubborn, macho pride ding
ding ding ding ding Right on the nose, Jesse angrily responds,
what pride. I don't have any pride. I lost my pride,
and he walks toward the door and says, I'm going
to go get some pride.

Speaker 2 (56:48):
Honey, you got enough. Yes, you've got enough. You got
too much.

Speaker 1 (56:52):
You don't need any more. You don't need no more.
He grabs his jacket, a motorcycle helmet, and bitterly says,
say goodbye to ster Donaldson. Becky is left alone in
the living room with concern written all over her face.

Speaker 3 (57:07):
Spray, so get back on that bike after breaking both
of his arms.

Speaker 1 (57:10):
Oh yeah, that's right. Well yeah, when he when he
rides his motorcycle, when he's upset like this, bad things happen.
He could be.

Speaker 3 (57:17):
On the edge of a parking structure in no time.

Speaker 1 (57:20):
Yeah, no, totally totally. But this this okay, so this episode,
it didn't it didn't age well these Jesse's view on masculinity.
You know, his identities all tied up with with masculinity,
and he's got this old school view of masculinity that
no doubt undoubtedly came from Nick, his dad, who had
a similar and also was a very typical and there's

(57:43):
you know, look, there's a lot of people that still
feel that way.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
But it's just an interesting thing where you know, you
see him saying like, oh, all I'm gonna do is
just you know, take care of the house and the
kids and the thing, and then this and you're.

Speaker 1 (57:55):
Like, oh, so who was supposed to do that? Right? Yeah?
And that's just and that's just you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
I think that's the thing that we've all kind of
figured out now, is like there's nothing just about it
that's as much of a full time job, maybe not
more than you know, anything else.

Speaker 1 (58:12):
And yeah, so it's not it's not even really about
Jesse's need to provide financially. It's the problem is that
the de values housework, which is traditionally seen as women's
women's feminine work, and how people don't they just like, oh,
it's just it's just right care Well know, the most
successful men out there had a woman supporting him and

(58:36):
raising the babies and making sure.

Speaker 2 (58:38):
That you know, so it's kind of like that it's
got to be and like, yeah, it's in this, you know,
as we here live in twenty twenty five, I think
we would hope that this episode would maybe be handled
a little differently, but also find some ways to like
because and here's the thing is I do get. I

(58:59):
get the under the conversation, which is like I want
to feel like I'm contributing. True, yes, but it's the
discounting of how much what you are doing is contributing. Yes,
that it's not all about money. That it's that that
is just as valuable and you know you should that

(59:20):
it's worth your it's you know, cost your time.

Speaker 1 (59:22):
Yeah, it's important work. While Jesse Jesse.

Speaker 6 (59:26):
Twins bro this is not easy to think what's going
to happen, arguably harder than hosting a morning show, but
both you know, jessely finds his worth in his financial contributions,
and it's like, no, there's multiple ways to contribute to
the family.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
And so yeah, he.

Speaker 2 (59:42):
Definitely And there's a lot of his his self worth
tied up in in how he's seen uh as a
masculine right, a praditional sort of Yeah, yeah, a masculine provider.

Speaker 1 (59:55):
And I also think it's not just the financial component.
I think it's also like the public uh adoration, like
he needs to be acknowledged for how good he is
at his job whatever that is, and he needs a
lot of childcare and house care. How you know they
don't They aren't acknowledged for doing a good job. So
I think it's all tied up in gender roles and

(01:00:18):
views and uh sure, so yeah so I and so
I don't even blame Jesse here.

Speaker 3 (01:00:22):
This is just a culture I see, like where like
what it is. It's just the way the priorities that
he places are a little uh it's all.

Speaker 1 (01:00:33):
What is the word gender restrictive? I guess Yeah, no,
I would agree with that.

Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
This is because let me tell you men, for the
men listening out there, they probably know this. If you
want a happy life, do all that take help, take
care of the kids, make.

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
Some dinner, do some laundry. Let me tell you you
it will pay off for you.

Speaker 3 (01:00:59):
Yes, guys, that makes for That makes for a happy
partnership too.

Speaker 1 (01:01:04):
Yes, I do think we've come a long way, at
least in the relationships I've had, as far as splitting
the housework and the childcare and stuff like. Thank god
we are living in these modern times. We've come a
long way, and this episode proves it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
Look, all I'm saying is you're really not getting any
if you're not at least helping wash a dish once
in a while.

Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
You know what I mean. There is nothing sexier than
a man doing some dishes. Yeah, just saying to turn on. Okay, Yeah,
moving right along. Up in Michelle and Stephanie's room, Joey
walks in with his head finally looking semi normal. He
asks steph if she knows where the heating pad is.
She says her dad keeps it in his top drawer

(01:01:44):
because he preheats his socks in the winter.

Speaker 3 (01:01:48):
That sounds delightful, that does.

Speaker 1 (01:01:49):
That's a great idea, actually, a heated sock drawer.

Speaker 3 (01:01:53):
For Gotten it now.

Speaker 1 (01:01:56):
Stephanie asks Joey how his neck is doing. He admits, oh, oh,
it's much better. I just can't make any sudden moves
Then Michelle walks in wearing DJ's sweater and shouts, look
what fits me. Stephanie's jaw drops and her eyes wide
and Michelle. Joey's head whips towards Michelle and he asks
what and he immediately wins is in pain? Mister Woodchuck responds,

(01:02:19):
way to go stupid. As they walk out of the room,
Puppet's talking or Dave like they just didn't know what
to do with him in this episode. You know, It's
like he wasn't really part of the A or the
B storyline, so they're just like, here have a bad.

Speaker 3 (01:02:32):
Neck and a puppet and a puppet. Yeah, so that's
all right.

Speaker 1 (01:02:36):
Dave does great with whatever material he's given, Oh for sure. Uh.
Then DJ walks in with Kimmy and notices Michelle's outfit.
She absent mindedly comments, Hey, I have the exact same
sweater in my closet. Steph responds, well, it's a small
world after all, and lets out a nervous laugh. And
then I couldn't get the song out of my head.

(01:02:57):
DJ continues to examine the sweater and that one has
a button missing right where this one has a button missing.
Can someone explain this? Michelle innocently says, I just wear them,
I don't shrink them. DJ looks at Stephanie for an answer,
and she admits, all right, this is your sweater. I
stole it. I stained it, I shrunk it. I should

(01:03:18):
have buried it. Michelle chimes next time again, next time,
lesson learned. Michelle says, DJ, have that cow, and Steph apologizes.
I am so sorry. DJ. I'll do anything to make
it up to you. DJ looks at Kimmy. Well, make
it up to Kimmy. I borrowed that sweater from her
last summer recognition crosses Kimmy's face. Oh yeah, that is

(01:03:43):
my sweater. She walks over to Stephanie and continues, So, Steph,
you'll do anything to make it up to me. Stephanie
immediately regrets her words, saying this is my worst nightmare. Okay, Kimmy,
I deserve this. What do you want? Kimmy walks over
to the table and starts to take off her shoe. Well, actually,

(01:04:03):
I haven't had a pedicure in my whole life. Jimmy
removes her shoe and puts her foot on the table.
And I obviously have painted toes in this scene, so
that was right. Whatever, everyone it's recoils in horror and
says ew gross. Jimmy starts to remove her sock. Michelle screams,

(01:04:24):
not the sock, run for it, and the girls hurry
out of the room, covering their noses. I mean, your
face looks horrified. I feel like we're still early in
the sock like I'm not so annoyed yet as I
was by the end of the series in season eight.
But yeah, this is just one the you know, we're
still at the very beginning of the sock jokes, so

(01:04:47):
yeh whatever. Next, at the San Francisco International Airport, Jesse
is singing with an oldies band called the Diplomats and
they're performing the song Glowworm by the Middle Brothers. Jesse's
on piano, and the entire band is wearing matching plaid
jackets and bow ties.

Speaker 2 (01:05:09):
They were kind of they could have pulled it off
as like a hipster vibe, you know what I mean,
just oh, just wear it with confidence. Well, you'd somebody
in you know, silver Lake would have been wearing that
probably yesterday.

Speaker 1 (01:05:22):
No, but this, I'm very upset at this episode. I've
been mad since nineteen ninety two. You don't even know.

Speaker 7 (01:05:28):
This, oh, because it was gonna be Jeff got this
idea from my favorite musical, Forever Plaid, right, which is
a musical about a four part harmony band four guys
who were wearing.

Speaker 1 (01:05:42):
Plaid tuxedo jackets. Right, And so Jeff was like, Oh,
this would be great to have you know these guys,
these these Forever Plaid guys do this bit with Jesse.
And I got so excited and I told the Forever
Plaid guys, I'm just like, this is great. You might
be able to get on the show. This is gonna
be so fun. And then we show up for like
the first stay rehearsal and it's these old codgers wearing

(01:06:03):
these pastel plaid jackets, and I wash. I was crushed,
and I get it, and now as an adult in hindsight,
I get it. I'm like, it's a funnier bit that Jesse,
this young hot dude, is performing with these old codgers.
But I was devastated that it couldn't be my front
Plaid guys.

Speaker 3 (01:06:20):
I was like, oh, I'm devastated for you.

Speaker 1 (01:06:24):
I've been resentful ever since.

Speaker 3 (01:06:26):
So you have your plaid jacket. I have my pink bunny.

Speaker 1 (01:06:30):
Ye see, we both I get it. Sometimes there's just
the thing that sticks with you.

Speaker 3 (01:06:35):
Yeah, you go, I really wanted that in this podcasting
we are.

Speaker 1 (01:06:39):
We are getting it all out on this podcast and
healing our inner trauma. Right, all these injustices against just
it's just.

Speaker 3 (01:06:47):
All of them we're gonna be Yeah, we're working out
our trauma.

Speaker 1 (01:06:49):
Yeah, at least it's not with puppets. So Jesse thanks
the crowd. As Danny, Becky, and Vicki walk in, he
asks them what they're doing here, and Becky explains, well,
we thought we'd come to see you. She questions, I
thought you said this was an oldies band, and Jesse
awkwardly nods towards his bandmates and Becky gives an awkward smile. Ah,

(01:07:12):
I get it. Jesse says he'll talk to her after
the set. Meanwhile, Joey is sitting next to a tough
looking guy and his neck is stuck looking off to
the side directly at this man. He notices, and the
man gruffly asks, Hey, buddy, what are you staring at.
Joey replies, Oh, I'm not staring. I just have a

(01:07:32):
stiff neck. This is like Dave's expression is so funny
and it's so awkward. I did really enjoy this.

Speaker 2 (01:07:43):
His character, he built the whole thing, yeah, over the shoulder,
and he just had a character that was always walking
around talking over his shoulders.

Speaker 1 (01:07:51):
This is just I love Dave so much. This is
so funny. So the man threatens, you want me to
adjust it for you, and Joey designs he'll just adjust
his chair instead. Then Jesse begins to tell the crowd
what number they'll be playing next. When the tough guy
walks toward him, Jesse happily asks what his song request is,

(01:08:14):
and the man simply states, watch my luggage while I
go to the john.

Speaker 2 (01:08:18):
That is the thing they tell you not to terrorists
anybody's luggage.

Speaker 1 (01:08:24):
Especially some guy that just got out of jail, right like.

Speaker 2 (01:08:29):
This is that thing is full of uh it's Tarantela's
that you're not allowed to have.

Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
Yeah, cocaine, yea illegal illegal animals, illegal plants, and maybe
some drugs. Drug There is a lot that could be
in that bag. So Jesse jokes, oh who wrote that one?
Gershwin and IRV the Drummer gives him the uh the
shot shot. I do like this bit with IRV they

(01:08:57):
do it a couple of times. It's funny Yeah. Jesse
gets back to his music and starts playing. As time
goes by from the film Casablanca, Danny and Vicki begin
to recreate a similar farewell scene to the Will Always
Have Paris ending. Vicky insists on taking the weather job
in San Francisco, but Danny won't allow it. Overhead speaker

(01:09:20):
Brian Cale announces final boarding call for flight nineteen to Chicago.
Danny stands up and dramatically quotes Casablanca, Vicky, you've got
to get on that plane or you're gonna regret it.
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for
the rest of your life. Vicky replies with just as
much drama. You're right, Oh, Danny, I'm gonna miss you.

(01:09:42):
He responds, I'm gonna miss you too. Goodbye, sweetheart, and
they share a very passionate kiss. She quickly runs off
and Danny slumps into his seat with sadness, but then
Vicky runs back to him and says, I can't do it.
Danny tells her she has to be strong, but Vicky explains, no,
I can't do it because I don't have luggage or

(01:10:03):
a ticket. Tanny replies, you mean I have to go
through this whole goodbye again tomorrow. Vicky takes inspiration from
Casablanca again. Yes, but we'll always have the terminal lounge.

Speaker 2 (01:10:15):
Back when you could just walk into an airport, walk
your family to the gate.

Speaker 1 (01:10:20):
That's I don't remember those days even. That feels like
so long ago, when you could just yeah, walk your
loved one right up to the gate.

Speaker 3 (01:10:31):
Yeah, no, wave the window window I do.

Speaker 1 (01:10:35):
Yeah, that's just a total, whole, totally different world. Uh So, next,
Jesse finishes his song decides to take a break. Joey
compliments Jesse's band, saying it makes him look young. Then
he asks to be pointed to the to the bathroom.
He walks past the tough guy from earlier and shields
his eyes so he doesn't stare at him again.

Speaker 3 (01:10:58):
And this is this is the same I'm hiding characters,
except he usually does it with two fingers right, But
he's doing the.

Speaker 1 (01:11:05):
Yeah I can't see you all in this.

Speaker 2 (01:11:08):
Scene like, and then at the end he's doing this
little This entire scene is Dave doing bits that nobody
else knows except for the cast, and every one of them.

Speaker 1 (01:11:19):
I'm like, Oh, I know that character guy.

Speaker 2 (01:11:22):
He just makes up these and all of them were
in this scene.

Speaker 1 (01:11:27):
Yes, it's like the greatest nobody else except us will
ever be able to appreciate it. Yeah, the stiff tr
the hiding behind you know, can't see, you can't see,
you can't see, and then the little shimmy at the end. Yeah,
this is all of Dave's best hits. And I'm just thinking,
like the tough guy. Last time they saw each other,
Dave was wearing a dress, had a wig in the

(01:11:47):
jail cells.

Speaker 2 (01:11:48):
This guy's probably like I ripped this guy's the neck
and the thing and the dress and the thing.

Speaker 3 (01:11:56):
At least he didn't have this puppet at the airport.

Speaker 1 (01:11:59):
One same grace, right, So then Becky and Jesse start
to chat. Becky asks him if this is really what
he wants to do, and he sighs, no, this is
really what I have to do. And Becky questions seeing
Glowworm in an airport lounge. He admits, it's not the
coolest gig in the world, but it's still music, and

(01:12:21):
you gotta admit Irv is one bad mama in his
own right. Becky wonders, what about your music Jesse insists,
I'm still going to work on my music, and if
I get lucky, it'll be great. I'll get it. I'll
get a shot. But right now, I have to contribute
to my family. Becky argues, but you do contribute. You're
a great husband, you're a great father, and Jesse interrupts her.

(01:12:45):
I'm talking about money now, whether I make a million
dollars or one dollar, I can't just let you go
to work and make all the money for this family.
I'm a man. You know, maybe I'm old fashioned, but
that's who I am. See, well, Jesse, we could work
that he gets all his self worth over his financial
contributions and publication in.

Speaker 2 (01:13:06):
This situation, that'll be one of those things. It's like,
it's I get that with there's an expectation that sort
of Nick, his father, society has put on him, that
like he needs to be the one going out and
doing stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:13:17):
And you know, Becky's like, dude.

Speaker 1 (01:13:19):
I guess we're working together. Yeah, well you noticed that,
bet that it's not flipped. Like Becky never feels guilty
for not being at home with kids and doing the
mother what's traditionally mothering duties. So she's not she's not.
She's like, I'm good.

Speaker 3 (01:13:35):
I make enough family and I'm a mom and I
work and we do.

Speaker 1 (01:13:39):
They have this three thousand square foot attic and they
don't even pay for it.

Speaker 3 (01:13:42):
Doesn't need to pay for diapers again, and they built
you a recording studio.

Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
You don't even need a recording studio. All your friends
play their instruments and bring them over.

Speaker 1 (01:13:53):
You don't got to pay musicians. No utilities, I'm sure
are included in the Danny Tanner welcome package. You know,
they just buy diapers, formula. Maybe that's that's that's all
they have.

Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
Yeah, but yeah, Mattie said he just has to buy
seventy nine cent egg plants.

Speaker 1 (01:14:07):
Yes, that's true. This guy a lot of.

Speaker 3 (01:14:09):
Egg plants, egg plants for I Bucks. Yes, you know, absolutely.

Speaker 5 (01:14:18):
So.

Speaker 1 (01:14:18):
Becky smiles and says, and that's who I love. God
bless you, Becky.

Speaker 3 (01:14:24):
Yeah right, thank god you do, Becky.

Speaker 1 (01:14:27):
She kisses him and apologizes if she hurt his feelings,
and she's even willing to back him up, back him
up if he wants to be a diplomat. He kisses
her forehead and walks back to the stage to work
on the tuneage. In this joint, and he addresses his
fellow bandmates, calling them the Dips. He says, now, I know,
deep deep down inside you, there's got to be some

(01:14:50):
kind of wild rock and roll maniac just dying to
get out. Huh. They all just stare at him blankly,
and he shrugs, all right, we'll fake it and tells
them to play a little rock and roll music In
e Vicky and Danny get up to dance. Becky and
Joey do the same. Then Joey's next snaps back into
place and he's magically.

Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
Cured and able to do his little dance and doing
his little little jimmy, which the you know, the Olsen
twins would do that too, but David Dawns they did
in the in the recording booth when we came down
to the.

Speaker 1 (01:15:25):
Yeah, that's right, that's his brand.

Speaker 2 (01:15:28):
New recording studio, and he was in there and he's
doing his weird little dance.

Speaker 3 (01:15:31):
It's the same dance.

Speaker 1 (01:15:31):
It's it's Dave like. To this day, he still does
that little dance and he loves it. The whole airport
lounge is up and moving and dancing and enjoying the
Diplomat's music. And that is our show. Though I know
what was in that bag, right, and he never comes
back to get it, Like, what was he doing? It

(01:15:53):
was a long bathroom break. I'm just gonna say he
had too many seventy nine and ink plants. He was
stuck in the bathroom for a while. Digg blends do
that too. I don't know. I mean maybe these too
many vegetables in general, you get kind of gassy.

Speaker 3 (01:16:05):
I think I still think it's connected somehow to some
sort of nefarious criminal organization.

Speaker 1 (01:16:11):
Yeah, I agree with that. I agree.

Speaker 3 (01:16:14):
So this was this was this was This was an
episode yet not my favorite, not my favorite.

Speaker 1 (01:16:21):
I'm choosing to look at it as like this archaeological
artifact of this is what life was like in nineteen
ninety two, and I'm glad, we am glad we've all
changed since then. Although it was.

Speaker 2 (01:16:35):
But we even even Jesse admits in it, He's like,
I'm old fashioned, so we know that this sort of
mindset is like kind of out of date.

Speaker 1 (01:16:44):
He acknowledges this, which I appreciate. Honestly, I think he
should have gotten more credit for just taking whatever job.
You know, this random airport lounge job.

Speaker 2 (01:16:54):
Well, does it make you happy? Are you enjoying playing music?
Then rocket right, go for it?

Speaker 1 (01:16:59):
Yeah? Do you hate this? Do you feel terrible? Then
don't do it? Yes, that's it. I think that's we
Jesse needs to.

Speaker 2 (01:17:05):
Work on his his uh intrinsic self worth on, you know,
sort of finding it within himself.

Speaker 1 (01:17:12):
Maybe Michelle will help him get to that by Michelle
needs to put this in her notes and work on
this in future sessions, because he's good at unloading on her,
but he's not good at listening to whatever feedback She
has to help him putting it into new practice. Yeah. Yeah,
but got a couple more seasons, got a couple more seasons.

(01:17:32):
So yeah, I don't love this episode between the Forever
Plaid plagiarism and the Genders episode for you right, thank you,
thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:17:42):
You know I feel the Jackets anymore. I liked him originally,
Now I think they're crap.

Speaker 1 (01:17:47):
No, burn them. I don't like them. No, I'm plaid.
It's full plaid. It's not forever plaid, it's faux plaid.
But I feel better now that I've gotten this off
my chest, and now you and all the fan ritos
are now aware of my feelings about this, and now
you're going to get plaid jackets. Oh gosh, I have some.

(01:18:07):
I have my forever plaid leather jacket I bet I
got for my sixteenth birthday. Yeah, one of my prize,
your love of plaid. It was amazing. Oh. I took
you at least twelve times to that place.

Speaker 3 (01:18:17):
Yeah, for sure, at least you and Janie and we
loved it and we love it.

Speaker 1 (01:18:22):
Did you have any? Were there any? Everywhere? He looks
the only one I have. I already mentioned Brian Kale
doing all of the announcements everywhere you listen, Yes, did
you have Yeah? Did you have any? I didn't. I didn't. Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:18:34):
I did notice that the Tanners were recycling back in
nineteen ninety two, you know, they had a little recycling
binds there, and I was like, okay, I noticed that.

Speaker 1 (01:18:42):
Good for them. Yeah, this. I did a waste management
commercial probably right around this time, in the early nineties.
So yeah, I think recycling was becoming.

Speaker 2 (01:18:52):
Saying Captain Planet really did that? Yeah, reduce, reuse, recycle, Yeah,
recycle reused.

Speaker 1 (01:18:58):
I don't know that was a big campaign, you know that.
Oh yeah, they went hard with that. Can look at
all the good it did Hey, I recycle. I still recycle.
So glad we did that and saved everything. We're much
better right now.

Speaker 3 (01:19:12):
Yeah, oh those cans I collected.

Speaker 1 (01:19:14):
Really thank god, that really made a difference. I look
at this guy.
