Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah, oh I never thought about that. Yeah, I forge
your signature anytime because I have a digital copy.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
You know. Got some ideas for that. Yeah, I don't
think we could use that to our advantage anyway. I
think we may have hatched some sort of a ridiculous sygea.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, well we've done Thanksgiving with the turkey. That's true,
hand the turkeys, yep, in the thing in the thing
in the bucket, in the.

And then uh, now we can tackle Halloween.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah, we'll think of something else for Christmas, for Hankah.
You know, we can just hit all the holidays. Just
be ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
It's oh Arbor Day. I'm dressing as a tree.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Yeah, you can be a little acorn. It'll be really cute.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
It would be super cute because I'm shorter than you,
so I would just hang.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, yeah, just hang y.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Yeah. We're coming up with outfits for the entire year.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Oh my god, we need something to do. Let me
something to do. Yeah, let's get a little this little
she was asleep. This is we're calling her little. We
don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
For those of you that are just listening, which is everyone,
she's holding up a small little white dog.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
But not she's cogsplane holly.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
But yeah, this is a stray that we found a
few days ago. Actually, there were a lot of dogs
dumped in my neighborhood. And we know this because we
have like a neighborhood Facebook page that makes me sound sold.
But like most neighborhoods, we have a Facebook page. And
so Michael was on it and he's like, you know what,
there's been a lot of lost dogs postage today, just
(05:22):
in like the last three hours. And so we counted
five dogs that were dumped around the same area one day,
and not all the neighbors can keep the dogs, so
we offered to foster one of them.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
And wait, wait, is someone out there stealing dogs and
then dumping them?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I'm confused, like a puppy mill or a but where
are the lost dogs? She was? She was well she
was lost or she's lost or astray.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I don't know what the.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Well lost and applies that someone is looking for her.
I don't think so. She doesn't have a ship straight
she was? I thought people were like putting up signs
of lost dogs. And then all of a sudden, these
dogs were reappearing at another location like they'd been abducted
for some sort of strange thing and then brought back
but just dumped.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
I was confused, No, no, no, okayse were these were well?
The neighbors were posting about lost dogs, thinking maybe they
do have an owner, but we quickly thought that they.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Were posting like did anybody anyone dogs and dogs?
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I lost a dog?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Okay, thanks Facebook. This is why this way we should
never use Facebook. It's very confusing.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Well, I mean it's it's it's the old it's the old,
it's the old way.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Facebook's noom, We were cool.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yeah, that's how you keep in touch with all your
high school friends. Anyways, so yes, people were posting did
anyone lose a dog? And then Michael was like, put
two and two together, like all these dogs look the same.
All of them are very matted and dirty and uncared for.
And so yeah, so we took in this little one
that we're calling little. She's mostly a terrier, but she's
(06:54):
got some poodle in her. We think she's a low rider.
So she's got those short legs and the long body.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Little Oh so she maybe got some docks in dinner. Yeah,
I think so. I don't really know, but yeah, the vet.
We took her to the vet.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
She got her shots. So she's just some health issues
that we're gonna try to resolve. And then and then
we'll try to find a good family for her, so
mate me keep her.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
I don't know. Yeah, I'm looking at you right now.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I'm like, yeah, well I'm gonna go out.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
On a limb here and say you already found it.
But that's I know.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Well, it's it's too it's Michael and I like it's
too soon, Like it's just too soon.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
We haven't well, but we're covered.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I feel like this is a nice I feel like, uh,
Holly sent you a little friend to just keep your
company for a little bit, to kind of.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Just to feel my heart a little bit. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah, and she yeah, she's part poodle, part terrier, and
Michael's soul dog, Hank rest in peace.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
He was a terrier.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Like She's like yeah, Holly, yeah, So like is that
a sign?
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Yeah, she came a little showed up to just be
like okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
She's so sweet. She is so sweet. She's she really is.
She's like holding aunt.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
She nuzzled In's neck and one little paw is like
wrapped around Andrea's arm.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
It's doable.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
She's very she's very cuddly for like a stray dog
that was abused. I thought she does. She is afraid
of men though, Like she barked at Tate. She growled
at Tate, and I thought it was just Tate. I'm like, yeah,
you can make se go uneasy sometimes. But she barked
at some other males too. With Michael, she's fine. But
that's surprising because Michael is tall. I know, I thought
(08:33):
she'd be afraid of him. But maybe because he was
there when we picked her up, and yeah, maybe she
feels a little more attached.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yeah, but anyways, Yeah, so we have little for a
little We have little for a little bit, okay, until
she gets hurt.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
She's got to get more shots.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
And and she needs to be spade because she's not straight.
So we'll do we'll take care of all that and
we'll see where we are. But I'm like, after all that,
don't you get we'd be fostered for a few days.
But it's like, no, you got to get them faster.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yeah, yeah, you get.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
For like at least a month or a couple of months.
And so I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm going to be attached.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
To the dog.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Like that's like I'm fostering a dog.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I'm like, the how do you how do you return it?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I count. I mean, I gonna be like.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Now this this goes off, I just I would stuck
at it. I would have seventeen hundred dogs. I know,
I know, heaven just s mothered and puppies.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Yeah, oh yes, But anyways, I will keep you updated
on Little's progress here. And meanwhile, she's going to be
in our studio audience right here on my lap. Very
different than Holly, who would hide in corners all the time.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
We'll see if.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
She's hiding and more getting stuck. She's like her little heart,
you know, I don't think, Yeah, I don't think. She
was like, I'm gonna go hide in a corner. She
was like, I think I'm in a corner and I
don't know what to do.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Now I can't get out, I can't see, I can't I've.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Gotten in a corner and I can't get out. Yeah,
she needs like a little light. She needed a little
life alert.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Know. Yes, we'll see how Little does today if she
gets stuck, or she might she's a furnace right now,
I need to turn on my air conditioning. But yeah,
we'll see how she does. It might be a disaster,
or it might be super easy. She might just nap
the whole time.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
I mean she seems quite sweet and pleasant and mellow,
so I think I think you looked out. She wants
to be in your lap, which is a good sign.
You know, she's not tearing around the house trying to
eat it.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
No, she's not eating my tax returns. She's not tearing
things up, so she's Yeah, so far, so good.
Speaker 2 (10:30):

wash in the paper.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I'm sure still oh yeah, yea.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Anyway, so much waste, so much waste. How do we
go from really lovely little dogs to taxes.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I don't know. Let's but let's segue out.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Let's get speaking of taxes.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Uh, no taxes, T A X E S taxes. Oh yeah, there.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
You go, but not the kind of taxes that Joey
has talked about before. When referencing check Jesse, I almost
said Jackie and Bessie. When Jackie and Bessie want to
be alone?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Uh, are they going to do their taxes every night?
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Jackie and Bessie?
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Jackie and Bessie sounds like like someone that would live
in in Uh, probably Becky's hometown somewhere.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Bessie that Bessie. Yeah, yeah, there we go.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Anyway, Okay, anyways, welcome back to how rut Tannerto.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
It's a struggle.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I'm on the struggle bus today, guys, I haven't slept.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I've been up with the foster dog every night.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Anyways, Welcome back to how ruttan Rito's I am the
very distracted Andrea Barber and I.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Am the completely focused as always Jody Sweetened.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Today we're discussing season five, episode seventeen, Spellbound. It originally
aired January twenty eighth, nineteen ninety two, and it goes
a little something like this. Stephanie challenges the winner of
the school spelling contest to a one on one competition. Meanwhile,
Michelle wants to learn to read.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
All right, very shel t He's notice, like really been
paying attention to her. Guys, Can I can I read? Please? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
She's halfway through kindergarten? Teacher, are there, babycas? I was
a little concerned. Okay, well, yeah, I get there. In
ninety two, I think that was a little more normal
to not know how to read, even during kindergarten. But
now I feel like you have to know how to
read at least basic sentences or phonics.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
It's been a long time since I've had a kindergartener.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Too, so changed again.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Anyways.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
This episode was directed by Joels Wick. It was written
by Dennis Frinstler and Mark Warren, and we have two
guest stars this week. Philip Levine returns as Mister Lowry.
We last saw him in Season five, Episode one, Double Trouble,
as Stephanie's teacher. This is the guy that retired from
acting to teach English and drama in high school in
(13:35):
Santa Barbara, and then he went back to acting again,
so oh okay, back, Yeah, amazing, He's fantastic. And then
we have Jared Leong as Davy Chu and this is
his only credit, He's only TV credit.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
So he gets very good again right and left.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Ye honestly, he had such a big role in this episode.
I thought I'm sure he would have done a lot
of guest appearances. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Now he was like, this is my one and only.
I'm done. I never want to do this yea, never
ever again.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I never want to spell mnemonic or sasparilla right ever again?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Oh god? Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Anyway, so we start with the teaser.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
In the girls room, DJ is reading a bedtime story
to Michelle and she has picked Cat in the Hat
by Doctor Seuss.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Doctor seys Oh yes, Soyce, I'm just kidding. I'm not
gonna be I'm not gonna be an idiot on it,
but I'm.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Just I'm gonna say Seuss just so people write in
and say, like, why can't Andrew pronounce doctor Seuss.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
It's the fun thing of going. It's because you're wrong
and you get to respond to every email, every single
one of them.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Let me sign me up please.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
So as soon as DJ reads the title aloud, Michelle
curiously asks, excuse me, why is the called cat in
the hat? DJ answers, because it wouldn't have the same
ring to it if it was cat in the vest.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
It's not the same.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Michelle nods, very interesting, and DJ proceeds to tell the
story The sun did not shine, and Michelle quickly interrupts
her again, excuse me, how come the sun didn't shine?
DJ shrugs because it was raining, and Michelle nods again,
very very interesting. DJ continues, it was too wet to play,
(15:20):
so we sat in the house all that cold, cold,
wet day. Michelle cuts her off yet again and asks,
excuse me, what day of the week was it. DJ
gives her a knowing smile. You're asking me questions after
every sentence, so I'll be reading you this story for
the next two hours and you'll never go to sleep.
You're pretty smart, Michelle. Michelle is beaming and she admits
(15:44):
you're pretty smart too. They both laugh and they get
into a tickle fight.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
I do miss the days of reading the kids to sleep.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I know me too.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
That was like my favorite part of the day, right.
I don't know if it was their favorite part of
the day, but it was my favorite.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
No, we're definitely not going to sleep, probably not, but yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Didn't like going to sleep.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
We cut to the opening credits and I am low
key bummed because my skip button on Hulu is no longer.
It's no longer there, like I can't. I can't skip
through the intros either.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I wonder if it's a I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Why, but it was there like a few episodes ago
or in previously.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I could yeah previous seasons, but I feel like maybe
season five.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
I haven't been able to yeah in season five, just
like the last.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
That was when they were like, you are gonna listen
to this damn song you like it or not?
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Right, Prederick is gonna get a credit a royal.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Yeah, exactly. I think that's what it is.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Can I tell you though? The other day.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
It popped into my head that this is I never
get the theme song stuck in my head. It for
once in the shower, I was there and I could
not stop singing the stupid house, oh house, same song
in my head.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
What is wrong with you?
Speaker 3 (17:06):
I said, you know this, I get weird songs stuck
in my head.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I used to for like a week.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I texted you about all the weird things that just
pop in my head and then I can't make them
shut up. This was one of them, and I literally
in the gower went, oh my god, this has never happened,
and I really wish it would stop.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yeah, yeah, that's that's that's a but it was like that.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
We'll get a very small snippet over and over again
for days. For days, I can get stuck in your head.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
You know.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
I blame this podcast because normally we don't talk about
full house or think about full shows.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
But now I'm gonna I'm gonna go further than that
and blame Hulu because everything was fine last season and
yeah yeah, now that.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Watched it, can't can't stop thinking about it.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Hulu, Come on, Hulu, bring back the skip button. We
need it for our sanity. Right.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
So next we're in the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Jesse has made some freshly baked gingerbread cookies and he's
showing them off to the twins. He wafts the smell
towards them and jokes times like this, I bet you
guys wish you had teeth, huh. And then Danny, Becky
and Joey walk in from work and notice all of
the gingerbread that he has made. Jesse proudly shows off
his creations, which include a gingerbread person resembling each member
(18:18):
of the family. Is it Christmas time, No, it's it's
the end of January. I wrote that as a note, like,
why is he baking gingerbread cookies?
Speaker 3 (18:26):
I thought, yeah, I was January, and then I looked around.
I was like, there's a lack of Christmas decorations, but
it is Christmas is over, but he's still I think
we said it was in January.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Right, you had your broat episode.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Right, right, So we've got to assume this is, yeah,
January February, as okay.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Did he have some like brown sugar that was starting
to harden and molasses that was going bad? And so
he's like, let me just whip up some gingerbread. Yeah,
and he use up these ingredients. Yeah, it's probably it's let's.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Go with that.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
So Jesse calls Becky's gingerbread woman a fox. Danny's gingerbread
Man has an ab normally large nose that Bob then
pulls off the.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Cookie and then and then Laurie laughs a genuine laugh,
like you hear her, like sort of that laugh, not
a very like lady like Becky laugh and yeah, that
was Laurie actually laughing, because I don't think Bob was
supposed to snap it off.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Well, I'm wondering if Bob even knew.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
He looked like a little bitter or something like, why
are you making fun of my nose? So I wonder
if he didn't. He wasn't expecting the nose to be
long on the gingerbread guy, and so he just plucked
it right off and threw it. And I feel like
that whole thing was improvised. Yeah right, I'm going Yeah,
it was very funny. It was super funny. And then
Joey's gingerbread man is bold, so Joey asks, why is
(19:41):
there no hair on my gingerbread man? And Jesse admits, oh, sorry,
I used the last bit of frosting for my hair.
He holds up his gingerbread man and sure enough, there
is a huge glob of black frosting covering the head.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
That feels like Season one Jesse hair. That was very
mulilary Season one. Well, and he had the leather vest
on in the leather pant like black leather.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
It was a throwback cookie. It was a throwback cookie. Yeah,
it was Jesse's looked the best out of all of them.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
That was very accurate. Just gotta say so.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Danny Flatley states, you better get a record deal real soon.
Again again another one, another one had a tour. Joey
has an idea. I need a song to introduce cartoons
on the Ranger joe show. I need something snappy. Mister
Woodchuck joins the conversation, because, of course, Joey's still carrying
his puppets.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Literally, he walks in with it, the puppet on his hand,
and he's getting things out of the fridge. And all
I can think is God, that easier if you didn't
have the puppet on your hand.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Put him down, put him down on the kitchen table
or the island, anything, put him away.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
They're coming home, weren't they? Yeah, from calling home from work.
So did he drive with the puppet? Did the did
the one?
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Did the puppet hold the steering wheel with its teeth
at ten and then with.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
His human hand at two?
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Yeah, that's a good question.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
And so mister Woodchuck's just driving like that, like just
with the steering wheel because he apparently can't take it off,
doesn't have a stand right, wouldn't leave it at the studio.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
No, he doesn't live at the studio. He comes home
with Joey every night.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
So they obviously don't have a music department.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
There's nobody else in San Francisco except the budgets. The
budgets were very limited, and so joe he had to
just bring him home. And this is Joey's therapist. We
decided that that's right.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
We decided it's like Joey's proxy, like it's his it's
the way he can tell me copes.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
So he copes with his lack of storylines on this
show and his lack of love life. So mister Woodchuck
joins this conversation and gets all up in Jesse's face.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Would you do it? Would you do it? Would you?
Would you?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Jesse snarls at the puppet before saying, Joey, I don't
do snappy, and Danny points out you get paid a
royalty every time they play your song, and Jesse quickly
changes his tone, call me mister snappy. Then DJ Steffan
Shall walk in from school. Stephanie's trying to grab her
family's attention, but they're all talking over each other at once.
(22:06):
I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often, like every like
with so many people living in this house, like they
would be talking, take each.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Other in conversation, very politely. No one speaks over each other.
We wait, they're a very polite family.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
It was so choring.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
I'm like, yeah, this is what a normal full house
would be, people talking or separate conversations.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Yet the same time, yeah about it. That's you know,
that's what normal would be.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
But here we are, oh full house. So through all
the noise, we hear Stephanie say, I've got big news.
I've got big, big news. And when no one pays
her any attention, she takes matters into her own hands.
She stands up on a chair and lets out a
loud whistle.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I so wish I could actually do that with it.
So that was dubbed in. That wasn't gotten. I can't whistle.
You can't whistle. I can't. I can't blow air through
my she just suck in.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
But that even then, it's not good, Okay, Yeah, No,
I definitely can't do like the.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Carney whistle with like your fingers. I can't do the
Carney whistle either, Barbara.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Cameron, can I remember, oh, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
That's right, she's an expert, expert whistlebloworioes yes. So everyone
snaps their heads towards Steph at once, and she nods
thank you. As I was saying, I have big, big news.
I'm talking large, I'm talking huge, I'm talking massively, gigundo
and Michelle impatiently states, you're talking too much. What is it?
(23:35):
Steph proudly announces you're looking at the spelling bee champion
of mister Lowry's fourth grade class. Everyone applauds her on
this huge accomplishment, but immediately after, Danny asks her to
step off the chair because she's getting the seat cushion dirty.
She obliges, but excitedly tells them there's more news this Friday.
(23:55):
She's in the finals for the best speller in fourth grade.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Danny is ecstatic.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
He notes, if you make the best in school, you
could go on to the city and then the state, and.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Then you could become the national champion.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Danny's really just living out all of his dreams through Danny.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Well, I mean he was, he was.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
We've established he was a very young dad, so he
didn't really get a chance.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
To No, he didn't get to so olds or you
know Jason after Dreams.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
I think we figured out he's like, what nineteen when
he has DJ.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah, because in that first season he turns. He turns
thirty in DJ's ten.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
So yeah, yeah, a mere nineteen.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Yeah, barely do we talk about the teenage father Danny?
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Right right? But hey, yeah, it was it was a
different time, I guess, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
It was a time when a nineteen year old could
buy a gigantic house in San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Gotta looks fiction got all of the money.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Yeah, yes, So Danny gets wide eyed and he realizes
we could all meet the president. So finally Steph brings
him back to reality. Calm down, I'm never gonna beat
Davy Choo. He's the smartest kid in school. They call
him the human Dictionary. Danny lends some words of encouragement, Well,
(25:16):
if you want to be a winner, you got to
think like a winner, and Joey chimes in, using his
gruff manly voice. Listen up, Human Dictionary. Stephanie Tanner is
gonna tear you vowel from vowel, then eat your consonants
for luncher and he flexes. Steph joins it on the
fun and copies Joey's deep voice. You're right, Davy Choo,
(25:37):
prepared to be polarized. And then.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
He's it's good, it's good.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
You're making fun of me, not making fun of you.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
It was hilarious because it.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Was it was No, it was hilarious in a good way,
not making fun of you.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Okay, I know I have a tickle in my throat.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
This is what you get people like it's you get
what you get and get upset. So yes, you casually
spell out pulverized and DJ laughs, tell Stephanie that she's
going to do great, and Jesse adds, Yeah, you've been
reading since you were four? Go ahead, what you've been
(26:14):
reading since you were what three?
Speaker 3 (26:16):
This is a little before my fourth birthday. I was
starting to like be able to pick up basic books
and read him.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
So, yes, No, I know this used to be a
flex for you.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Maybe not so much anymore.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
I just I just I feel I don't know, I
always feel word being like so I was a baby genius.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
No, like you know what I mean like about it?
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Not for that, you know what people I have learned
to read before I was four years old. Now Here
we go, Here we celebrate early, and I still read voraciously. Oh,
I like that's I spent three hours yesterday just reading
in my hammock and it was great.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Oh that sounds it sounds delightful.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
So Michelle decides to make this about herself naturally well,
she says, Hey, I'm five, how come I can't read?
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Well, we're all asking that question. I don't know. You come, Michelle,
what's wrong with you? Buy here some books?
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Becky tries to console her. Well, not everyone starts to
read at the same age. I'm sure you'll be able
to read very soon.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Someone will bother to teach you.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
It's going to be DJ or Stephanie probably. Michelle demands,
I want to read right now, and she grabs a
newspaper on her way out of the kitchen. Kenny is
amused and asks where she's going, and she responds to
the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
That's where Joey reads. Great.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yeah, okay, let's emulate him, all right. I mean, I
wonder if he takes the woodchuck to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
It would be on brand for him to do that.
I would agree with.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
It, But I mean, what is he said it on
the sink? Is it looking at him?
Speaker 1 (27:53):
You know does it help him White, I don't.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
I got questions.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
God, Chuck down.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
In one hand and in the other, mister Woodchuck is
driving cars, he's helping people, is assisting in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Is what Chuck really.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Is doing it all? You know he deserves a credit.
The titles was so. Next we're in Jesse's studio where
Jesse and Joey are working on the Ranger Joe's song
while the baby twins watch from their seats.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
These kids are always in there. They're never out of
the car seats.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
No, they're always They're always in the car seats.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
I mean, I've never had twins.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
But I'm like, where else would I guess you'd be
holding them. You'd put them in, put them in a
pack and play. I mean, they can't sit up yet,
but you could at least put baby tummy time. That's
put that on the ground and a little tummy time.
But for camera purposes, we with them in the very
old car seats with ruffles on them. So Jesse announces, gentlemen,
(29:08):
may I present the Ranger Joe cartoon theme song in
C major Jesse Katzopoulos composer. He sings a snappy little
jingle while Joey dances along to it. The audience lets
out a roar of applause when it's done. But when
Jesse asks Joey what he thinks, Joey says totally wrong.
Jesse is flabberg acid. What totally wrong? He imitates Joey's
(29:31):
dance moves, asking what was that all about, and Joey explains,
just doesn't have that childlike quality I'm looking for. Jesse
defends the song by pointing to the twins, saying they're elated,
but the twins are just staring at Joey blank lady, like,
these babies are.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
So good at their blank stairs.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
I think that that's just they were. That's just what
they did.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Yeah, they were like, yeah, it was. It then became
like the joke like cut to the babies that are
just the dead pan right, yes, unintentionally they were great
dead pan dead pans.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Yes, And I think it's hysterical. They're so cute.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
So Joey shakes his head.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
I need something more cartoony, something like it's time for
another cartoon, and then an idea of sparks. I'll lend
you a videotape of my favorite cartoons and in no time.
And then he turns on his daffy Duck voice as
he says, you'll be a cartoon, a fishionado.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
And he spits all over. He ches, this is good,
trying to be good.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
I'm just trying to get But that actually, that came
out much That came out much better than I thought
it would.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Oh well, thank you.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Yeah, yeah, not that I underestimate you and your would me.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I liked it.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
So Jesse wipes the spit from his face and he
before he spits back, thanks, I'm so excited.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Oh got it? Okay.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
So next in the girls room, Michelle is looking through
her Cat in the hatook when Danny walks in with
his super duper deluxe letterboard that will help her learn
to read, but she insists, I know how to read.
Watch and she repeats from memory, the sun did not shine.
It was too wet to play. Danny picks up the
book and says, actually, sweetheart, if you were reading on
(31:18):
that page, it says copyright nineteen fifty seven. Michelle wonders,
how can we never read that part? He says, it's
a valid question. Why don't they read that part?
Speaker 2 (31:28):
You know? She doesn't know.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Danny admires her eagerness to read, but he reminds her
that she just can't just memorize what he reads her
every night. Michelle asks why not, and he tells her
because it'll start to catch up with you around college. Now,
let's start off by learning the sound of each letter.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
He starts off with A is four and Michelle answers apple.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Danny kisses her forehead and says, that's right.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
This was I was like, Michelle, does are we establishing
that Michelle doesn't really even know her letters?
Speaker 2 (31:59):
I know, know, I was.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
I was a little fearful because she, I mean, she
knew A is for apple, so at.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Least, yeah, she knows right, she definitely knows the alphabet.
But I was like, I feel like we were a
little beyond the right.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
She's got to learn, she's got to she needs to
be a lot further along than this.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
But hey, everyone learns at a different pace. Ok.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
That's right, that's right. No, we're not shaming her. And
it sets up this next bit with Danny, and of
course the cleaning products.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
I think he's more of the joke anything else.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
So Danny says, I have a system that's going to
make learning to read even more fun, and he calls
it Daddy's special system. He goes over to the letter
board and places the letter A on it, saying A
is for Ajax. He continues through the alphabet B is
for Brillow, C is for Clorox. Then Steph runs in
and dramatically yells it's gone, gone, gone, gone, and Danny
(32:54):
mimics the drama.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
What's gone?
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Step shouts, my brain, the spelling bee is tomorrow, and
I can't remember how.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
To spell success?
Speaker 1 (33:01):
How many sees and how many s's and where the
heck do they go?
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Such a great little run that you're.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Right, just meltdown yeah over letters like yeah, so extra.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Danny assures her that everything will be okay. All she
needs is a mnemonic device. Steph questions what the heck
is that, and Michelle chimes in it must be for cleaning.
Danny explains, a mnemonic device is a little trick I
have to help you remember, like that word success. What
you do is double the C, double the S, and
(33:37):
you will always have success. So stephf uses his method
and spells success with ease. She puts her game face
on Davy Choo's gonna wish he never learned the alphabet,
and she rushes out to continue practicing. Michelle exclaims, I
can spell the alphabet, and she sings the ABC song
all the way through and the audience applauds her skills.
(34:00):
Danny jokes, well, the word alphabet is in there somewhere
and continues with his special system, D is for Draino.
I'm all about mnemonic devices. This is a great method
for learning things.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Oh yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
I mean, I'm not gonna lie I in my head
When I have to spell banana, it's B A N
A N A S from the from the when Stefani song.
That's how you remember how to spell banana bananas, Yeah,
bananas and a S. Yeah, because sometimes you want to
throw an extra inn in there or something, you know
what I mean. And it works this method. It's a
(34:38):
nevonic nervonic device. Nervonic device smells like teen spirits. His
next greatest it yes, every single time.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Yeah, B A N A N A S.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
It's like the Mississippi M I S S I S
I P I. Yeah. Yeah, I use it for that
one because how many p's and how many eyes.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
You don't know, you don't know, you got I have
the little rythm to it.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
You gotta have the rhythm, so great method, just.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Say, this episode make me remember that I was an
excellent speller when I was a child, and that most
of these words now I'm.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Like, oh, how do you spell that?
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Or I go to spell things that I think I
know how to spell, and then the autocorrect corrects it,
and I'm like, oh, oh yeah, autocorrect has made me.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Speller. We're lazy.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Yeah, well, because if you don't have to know how
to spell it then and why would you remember? Now?
Speaker 2 (35:29):
It bothers me.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
I think I'm going to turn my my my spell
check off.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Then people might think I'm an idiot.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
But what is Tody wing with her all of a sudden?
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Nothing makes sense?
Speaker 3 (35:40):
But yeah, I didn't realize how much I was relying
on it, you know, I just yeah, I just this episode.
I was like, damn, yeah, I used to be like
always top of top of the class for spelling killing yes,
and now I'm like, oh, like wait, was that I
was impressed with your e except after C Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Well I have to write it out like I am
not I'm a visual person, not an audio person. So
I can't spell it out loud, but if I write it, yeah,
I usually spell it correctly.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
That's just a weird brain in the same way I don't.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
Yeah, in my head, I get through the first three
letters and then start singing in the full house theme song.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
So yes, very hard to stay on task.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
But yeah, your recall in this episode is very impressed
how quickly you spelled all these words, and the Davy
two actor as well, Like, I was so impressed.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Guys spelling as a kid. I loved it. We're spelling letters.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Yeah, yeah, this was this was your episode, Like this
was written for Jodie Sweeten, and I am here for it.
So next we're at Stephanie's school, Danny, Joey, and Jesse.
You're in the audience in the school auditorium. When Steph
walks onto the stage, Joey boasts, here comes Stephanie. Doesn't
she look smart? Danny holds up his camera. Of course
(36:55):
she does. Intelligence runs in our family, and he snaps
a photo. Jesse smirt, it must have skipped a generation.
You left the lens cap on.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
This was that was a great come. That was hilarious.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Then I'm still laughing out loud, A really good dish.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
So meanwhile, Stephanie's on stage staring at the Spelling B
Trophy with admiration. Boy, that trophy is gonna look good
in my bedroom. And Davy cho who's sitting right next
to her, here's this and says, only if I let

Scoff's dream on Tanner. They don't call me the human
dictionary because I'm good at kickball.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Then mister Lowry takes the stage to introduce the fourth
grade Spelling Championship, and while in the middle of his speech,
Danny takes a flash photo of him. God, Danny's that parent.
Danny is that parent.

The family We've established this, the family is that family.
