Speaker 1 (00:18):
I'm losing it. This is here we go, It's I'm
off today, Like this is until I have been off
all week, Like we started with a guest instead of
the recap. I am just like thrown.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Everything has just been slightly off this week. Like I
even went to Pilate's this week to my trainer and
I'm like ten minutes into the thing, she was like,
are you okay your body today? And I was like,
oh my god. You notice She's like, oh, yeah, you're
not at all. I don't know where you are, but
like you're not, Like no, I'm not.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
So anyway, speaking about of body experiences.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Oh, I can't wait to hear this story. Jody logged
on today was like I can't wait for the pre
show chat. I can't wait for the week and then
you like told like half of it already.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
I got so excited, I know.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
So last night I went to a show at Kirk
Douglas Theater in Culver City called Puppet.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Up, pup It Up, pup it Up, pup it Up.
That's okay, I like that, yeah, puppet Up.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
And it is a show from the Henson Company brand
Henson Company, and.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
It is a night of.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Inappropriate puppet improv not for kids, then, oh god, no, no, no, no,
they will nobody under I think sixteen is a lot
like it's it's raunchy. Imagine Bob and Dave putting on
a puppet show. She imagine what they.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Would do with mister Woodchuck.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah, yeah no, but it's hilarious, Oh my god. And
not only that, so the whole process is also really
cool because.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
You know, the one thing that Brian Henson.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Keeps saying is like, look, we're a TV company, a
TV and movie we make TV and movies. Like the
puppets look like they're actual people. Yeah, so he's like,
that's how we do the live show. So it's actually
also really cool because they have the camera set up
and the like this triangle of where they're inframe and
where they're out, but you not only to get to

(02:18):
watch the two big screens that are just the puppets
doing their thing, but you also get the show of
watching these puppeteers are the ones doing the improv. So
they're also amazing improv artists. They sing, they're funny, they're
like the best like improv troupe you've ever seen. But

(02:41):
now they're doing it with puppets and not looking at
each other and looking at a monitor, and they've got
to do everything in reverse, right, because it's so hard,
it's such an art form, and it's so good. I
haven't laughed that hard in such a long time. It
was it was a two hour show.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
I could just sat there for another hour and a
half the whole audience like we did.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
The energy did not die at any point because it's
also audience participation where you're like yelling out the ridiculous
scenario that they're in. Okay, I need a location, I
need a job, I need you know.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
So it's it was such a great show.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
But I bought the VIP ticket experience. Like the day
that I saw it come out, I was thrilled, you're
all in online buying tickets at VIP experience meet striking
out about it.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
I was like, what are you so sad? I was like,
oh my god, puppets and he was just like, okay,
something these are on me. I was like no, but
hence and it's changed my life. So the before show.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Experience was upstairs at the theater and they had original
puppets and monsters from the movies that they had done,
and they had oh my gosh, see Perryman and Paul's
bring Fog. Can't remember his name, the little blue worm

(04:05):
from Labyrinth anyway, Uh yeah, the little but the original one,
one of the original Skexies from Dark Crystal, which are
like the big weird bird looking things.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Oh yeah they were.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
They were like almost five feet tall. They were life
size like huppet truth. They they were amazing, fascinating, the
head from a dinosaurs earl. Yeah, because those were Henson muppets.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Okay, what else was that?

Speaker 3 (04:38):
This is like Rich Correll's Heart of Darkness with all
the moms.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yes, yes, yes, it says this is hens muppets and monsters. Yeah.
Oh it was thrilled.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
It was just this is It was great. It was
my happy place. But anyway, the show was amazing. And
in the pre show thing, uh, Brian Henson was there,
who is also a genius like his father, and he
gave like a like twenty minute like description of the

(05:10):
show how it came about, how like just kind of
talking about like the Henson Company in general, what his
dad started with and all that kind of stuff, and
then questions.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
So I of course shot my hand at first, I
was that kid. I was that person, my qu I.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Was that person, and I knew. I was like, this
is such a lame question because it's I know, we
get it's like one of those where you're like, that's
what I asked.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Of all the things, that's what I asked.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
I asked, who's your favorite Muppet all because and he
was like, well, I can't really, you know, I can't
really pick because it's they're like kids.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
I was like, yeah, I get that. He was like,
but obviously, if I.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Have to pick one, he said, it's Kermit. He said
because Kermit was my dad. So Kermit and Kermit was
based on I mean, Jim Henson did Kermit obviously, but
it was very him.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
It was he. Kermit was that. So it was just
really neat to hear and talk about that. And then
I got so starstruck. This was my like.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
No kids on the block, right, this is you. This
is this is my happy place. You you you never
get starstruck. We go to events and things and you
are never no.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Et for Brian Henson.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
So so anyway, he's standing over there and like, you know,
talking to people, meeting pictures, and I'm Celia went with
me which I'll get to why Celia went with me
and not our friend Brooke, which was totally my fault,
but we'll get there anyway.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
So Celia's with me and she's like, oh my god,
go say hi.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
I'm like no, no, literally in the corner, like taking
a step and then going and then like I walked
over there, but he was talking to somebody, so I
like turned around and.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
I was like I don't I don't don't want to bother.
I can feel your stress, and she's like, would you
just go? I was like I don't want it.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
So that we're standing there like kind of our backstoom
having and she's like, over there.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Got a good picture of you. I was like, no,
I don't think he's taking pictures. Wanted a picture right now?
Is I have? All? The other guy? Just like would
you stop it?

Speaker 2 (07:05):
The whole argument under our breath, right in front of
a young woman who's there, who turns out she's like.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Did you enjoy the exhibit? And I was like, oh
my god. Yes. It was Brian's assistant and the social
media director for puppet Up. Oh cool.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
So she obviously recognized me, and she was like, would
you like to meet him?

Speaker 1 (07:30):
And I was like, oh my, oh my god. Yes,
and then I was like, I was just like, you're here,
just stand off to the side for a minute, and
like when you know, ready kind of clears that you
can have a moment. And I was so like, there,
Celia got a picture of me meeting.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
I am like, it looks like I like my firstborn
child's just like I am glowing so excited.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
And I just told him, I was like, you have
no idea, and I like started get all chears, like oh,
I was like.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
The Muppets and Jim Henson and and everything that your
dad created was like that raised me.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
It's some of my earliest memories.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
It like I Dark Crystal and Labyrinth Works taught me
so much about creativity and like just.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
New worlds and all that. I was like, I just
I love it so much. It was ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
And yeah, and Puppets made me cry. So anyways, that
was my moment. That was my new kid's moment. Was
I love that Brian Henson directed a Muppet Christmas Carol?

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Wow? He oh man, this was yeah, this is like
your mecca. This is my yeah, this is my this
is my big moment. Like oh and.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
That was the thing that I was like him, didn't
ask me anything about Muppet Christmas Carol, and he told
the story about doing that, kind of the behind the
scenes stuff of how they got Muppet Christmas Carol made
and how you know. Anyway, just a really wonderful night
and the god it was I even't laughed a hard
and tears street the whole audience doubled over in laughter.

(09:06):
Just brilliant, brilliant comedy. And Yeah, it's playing for two
weeks at the Kirk Douglas Theater in la in Culver City.
I highly recommend people go or if it comes back,
definitely go see it.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
It's worth it. It's it's just ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
I can't bear anything more Jodie Sweeten than Muppets and
inappropriate improv.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Right, inappropriate Muppet improv like yes please, so yeah, and
Brian Henson I basically died.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
And not only that. Oh, I got a from the
VIP package. I got I got a thing you gotta
got merch.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Oh wait, this is a hot Dog Buppet from the
show and there and it's signed by Brian Henson. And
there's a several points in the show where a group
of hot Dog puppets like these, except they have little
mouths dressed as random things that the audience dressed as

(10:10):
random things, and then the audience throws out random things
that they have to sing about. They make a song,
Oh funny as the puppet band, the hot Dog Puppet Band,
so away.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah, I'm very excited. I have a hot dog puppet.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Signed by Brian Henson, and that is definitely going to
wind up in some of my comedy shows.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
I'll tell you that much right now.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
You just got to take that everywhere you go. Just
put it in your person you make. Is that a
hot dog puppet in your purse? Don't worry about it?
Yeah what if?

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Yeah? I get it through TSA. I mean I might
get some strange looks.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
But but then oh my god, so so my the
Bonehead move like beyond Bonehead Move.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Oh no. So Celia wound up going with me's friend.
So she is my best friend and she also loves
like the you know Henson and all off. But Brooke
one of my best friends that you know as well.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Oh yeah, but we know and love. Brooke is like beyond.
He's like me as far as muppets. Henson Labyrinth, Dark
Grit like has had Labyrinth Weekend themed birthday parties where
he's dressed like Jared I mean, and he goes all
out for his birthday parties. Well, yeah, he goes all
out for his birthday parties. But he loves these movies,

(11:26):
and so I had invited him to go and I
was like, oh my god, it's gonna be amazing. And
he lives in San Francisco, so he was like, oh,
this actually works out great because I wasn't planning on
coming down, but my brother's in town with his two
kids and it's the oldest one's birth or the younger
one's birthday. So I'll go visit my family in Orange County,

(11:48):
but I'll fly out a couple of days early to
see this show.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Great. So I was like, yes, awesome, great. So yesterday
I hadn't heard.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
From him yet, but he he I see. He calls,
so I'm like, how are you. I'm like, what time
you think you're going to be up here?

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Tonight?

Speaker 2 (12:04):
And he was like tonight, Oh no, oh no. I
was like, yeah, yeah, tonight, the month sixteen. And he
was like, you said the seventeen. I was like, no,
you told it it date. I was like I said,
I said, it's the sixteenth. He was like, no, you
said the seventeenth. And I was like, hold on, let

(12:26):
me double check.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
And I back up.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
You said the seventh, seventeenth, and I said it one time,
and then we never you never confirmed, We never like
reseaid it at any point.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
It was just like that was it.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
And originally I was going to buy tickets for the seventeenth, right,
but they I couldn't get the VIP thing.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
So I bought it for the first night.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Oh no, like brought to till Brook and so yeah,
so he's on his way here right now, on his
way here right now. But what I did do I
bought him an extra I bought him a ticket.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Oh so he can the show.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
I bought him a ticket the VIP thing beforehand. I'm
not sure of what happened, but I got I gave
my number an info, exchanged info with the with Brian's
assistant and sort of explained the thing.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
And I was like, I really screwed up for.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
A friend of mine who is as like equally as
in love with it the hens and stuff as I am,
So like, is there any way that he can just
sneak in? Because it's not like it's a huge you know,
it's not right like an we'll see. But other than
that stupid move of mine, I mean I would have
gone alone. He's going alone tonight. I bought him the
last ticket for tonight ticket oh my, and uh but yeah,

(13:45):
I was like I would go, Oh he will.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
He's dedicating.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Absolutely, He's like, I'll make friends. I'm like, yeah, you will,
But I would go if there were another ticket, I
would go by myself on another net, Like I absolutely.
It was so funny. And of course it's different every
night because it's just improv so.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
O oh cool, what a cool concept?

Speaker 2 (14:02):
Is so great and again like it was hilarious, but
it was also just watching the talent of like puppeteers
and improv artists, you know, really shine.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
So it was very a really multitask in your brain.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
Oh yea be able to like all those moving parts
and keep it all in your head and know.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Yeah, And there's like a wall of like eighty sixty
to eighty puppets. So the audience yells out puppet up,
and they the whatever puppeteers that they've chosen for that
particular thing go over to the wall without knowing what
the audience is going to give them first they pick
up puppet. So sometimes it would be like the ridiculous combo,

(14:45):
you know what I mean, where it's like some big lipped,
like weird muppet and it's like you're and wearing a
sparkly dressy like you're an anesthesiologist.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
It's like, okay, you know, amazing, great anyway, I highly
recommend I had my fan girl moment. I totally yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
I know how our fans feel when they made absolutely
cry and sometimes they forget what they were going to say.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
I had this moment with Carol Spinny, but like not
quite this big. This was like this was this is
the big thing.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
But yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
Do you think Brian Henson do you think he felt
pressure to take over for his dad like or was
this like always his destiny? Do you think he ever
was like no, I just want to do my own thing,
or do you think he's like, I'm sure.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
He's proud of now well, I mean he was talking
about how he like grew up on the set of
you know, in the Monster Muppet Warehouse sort of, so
it was just kind of always a creative part of
his life. But he and he does you know, do
some of the puppeteering stuff, but he directs a lot
of it too, so.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
But yeah, oh he was great. He did several puppets
last night too, which were really fun. So I'm so
glad you got to meet him. I am so glad
that assistant.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
I'm glad Celia was there to push you, and I'm
glad the assistant overheard.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
Right that I was like melting down six feet away,
like what do I do? Yeah? Ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
And it was funny too because I was like I
was on a TV show. He's like, yeah, no, I know,
you were like this big and I was.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Like, oh cute.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
He did you know that he is married to Sloan
from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
No, are you Mia? Sarah? Uh? Not Pharaoh but sorrow
Sarah Morrow.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
I don't know, Sarah. I don't know anyway. That's yeah,
Sloan from Ferris.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
Bueller's So cool. What a great night. I am so
amazing for you.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
That just sounds ideal, yep, correct fit for you and
dream come true.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
It really was this. Now you've had new kids, I've
had puppets. This has been a successful month.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
This has been really it's been a barren Yeah, it's
which means it's all gonna be.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
Terrible for me.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
That means that great peaked. Yeah, we peaked. So now
we're gonna go hibernate for a month and talk.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
I wish well.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Speaking of speaking of peaking, shall we do? No, it
has nothing to do with that.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
That's something to do with this. Shall we do? Uh?
Season five, Episode five? Let's se Yeah? Season five, episode five,
Welcome back to Howard Dannertos.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
I'm Andrea Barber and I'm Jody Sweeten, and today we
are discussing season five, episode five, The King and I
no relation to the musical that I was.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
In You started, Yeah Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
It originally aired October fifteenth, nineteen ninety one, and it
goes a little something like this, Jesse is on the
verge of a record deal again.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
I was just, wait, haven't we didn't we get didn't
he get one? Did he get one and lose it
and then get on again and then lose it?

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Or we did he never quite get the second one?
This was my question the whole twenty two minutes too.
I was like, wait, why do I have deja vu?
Didn't you just want to walk war? Yeah? Without a
record deal, don't.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
I don't get this, but yeah, this is Jesse's having
career angst again.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Yes, so he dishes a shame after building that five
hundred thousand dollars studio in the basement.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Really like, it doesn't get better than this, dude, you
are set for success, right? Yeah? God, if only I
had my own studio and a band that just showed
up at will right eight hundred piece span.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
Uh So, anyways, Jesse ditches the annual Tanner Family picnic
to write a hit song, but struggling to find inspiration,
help might be coming from an unlikely source.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Mm hmmm, I wonder what could happen.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
Yes, it was directed by Joels Wick. It was written
by David Pollock and Elias Davis.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
Who are those people? I've never heard of them before.
Do you remember these writers?

Speaker 4 (18:50):
No?

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Uh, David Pollack does sound familiar?

Speaker 2 (18:53):
I feel like there he wrote a book, or at
least was named on a couple other things, but or
just vaguely sounds familiar or familiar. I could be imagining it.
That's also possible, Okay, But yeah, no, I didn't.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
I didn't know. We remember we had a writer named
Elias No, I didn't either. I was like, what who Okay,
I thought it was Elias.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Yeah, no relation to that Elias Harder, just like the
other Michael Campion, right.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
Odds like that still blows. Okay. So we have one
guest star and he's fabulous, Pete Wilcox as Man in
Diner Man.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
And he has done so much work as an Elvis impersonator.
He has appeared on dozens of network television shows like Cheers,
Alf Designing Women Again.

Caesar's Palace and the Sahara, and he was the voice
of Elvis on the Happy Days episode when Phonsie hits
the Jukepox and Elvis, that's actually juke pox jukex.

and then there's me. I come in the back door
and I peek around and I smile at the camera
that Gibbler smile. And I'm wearing the same outfit I
wore in last week's episode.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
So we did record these, Yeah, we did record this
week the previous week, and you looked super cute.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
I loved it.

Speaker 3 (23:23):
Oh yes, I did. I mean it was b a
bright outfit, but not this was great not greatness. So yeah, yeah,
is so weird.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
On sitcoms how the people look at the camera in
the titles, but yet when we're watching the show, they're
just living their lives, right, they don't know there's a
camera there.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
So very like Truman, right. Yeah, Well, it's become a
bit like people do this and.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
I love the stupid bit of it, but I just
when you think about it, you're like, well, it's not
like the Office where.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
They look at the camera.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
You're like, oh, they're You're like, no that we you
look at the camera, and then we go about pretending
that we're not here.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Anyway. I don't know who came up with that, but
I am here for it. I love probably Bob, Yet
I've always.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
Wondered because I love how and whoever, I don't know
if it was Jeff or whoever came up with this
idea to see the kids grow. So you see picture
of like, you know, Canvas as a little kid, and
then yeah, that was current day. I love that, but
I was I was always like, why don't they do
that for the adults, Like why are they singling out
the kids? And then my mom had to explain to
me because the adults don't change as fast as.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
Well, and also you don't want to point out the
slight aging, you know what I mean, Like, yeah, he's
like I want to look older and that, and you're like, yeah,
well that'll last till you're maybe thirty.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
So yeah, hey, you're right.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
I didn't get it as a kid, but I get
it now and I do love it.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
I'm so happy that the new credits are.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Finally although with the change in hairstyles, you're not wrong.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
Oh John alone with the mullet, the no mullet and
the half a mullet. Yeah, he's hairstyles Chane drastically. So
we start in the kitchen. Becky is sitting down to
eat while Joey is at the table fervently reading a newspaper.
He points out an interesting article that reads genius Pigeon
graduates college. Becky rolls her eyes, how can you read

(25:29):
that junk? And then she does a double take in gasps,
Oh my god, he went to the same school I did.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
You always get sucked into those headlines, you know, it's
like what bat Boy? Don't even get me started. I
can picture in my head.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
Yeah, we've talked about bat Boy before.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
Did we talk about bat Boy the musical? Or did it?

Speaker 3 (25:51):
I think was that a fan that told me about
back bat Boy the music? And now I don't know
either way. We need to see it when we need to,
absolutely so. Then Danny bursts through the door, barking orders
into a megaphone. Attention, all family members report to the
kitchen immediately. Training camp is about to begin. Don't try
to make a run for it. I've got the house
completely surrounded. Move it, move it, move it, Let's go.

(26:15):
I'm exhausted, in exhaust just reading that.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
I had to perform that how many times?

Speaker 3 (26:21):
So the girls come running into the kitchen and Stephanie
asks what's wrong, and Danny shouts back, attention as you were.
He drops the megaphone and admits, God, I love the
sound of my own voice.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Which we would always laugh at because that was we
were like, that's Bob, that's that's Bob.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Art imitates life, right, And you can see him kind
of laugh at it too, because you know that, Yeah,
the day.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
Was like, yeah, nobody loves Bob's voice more than Bob. Yes, amazing.
So then he launches into his announcement.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
This weekend is the annual Tanner Family Picnic games, he
reminds his family.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
Before their arrival.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
First, we're gonna hug him, then we're gonna kiss him,
and then once those picnic games begin, we are going
to kick some Tanner behind. First up, he assigns Michelle
and Jesse to the balloon relay race. Michelle repeats her
dad's words, all right, we're gonna kick some Tanner behind. Next,
DJ and Stuff will be doing the three legged race together,

(27:23):
and stuph reminds DJ, we got a practice. From now
until the picnic will spend day and night tied together. Joy,
you're very motivated. Are you motivated to win? Are you
just being competitive?

Speaker 1 (27:35):
Yeah? We are going to win this. Yeah. Plus she's
just thrilled to be tied to her big sister for
a few days. Right, DJ's force for exactly exactly. So
DJ rolls her eyes.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
Oh, sounds like a dream come true, and stuff retorts
someone needs to work on her team's spirit. Excellent delivery
of that. And I'm curious about Canvas's outfit in the
with like the pleated the cream colored outfit with the
pleated pants, and that was down of those.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
Things where I was like, isn't this the outfit she
wore where they were like, you're dressed exactly like the teacher.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
I thought that too. I was like, it was buttoned
all the way to the top. It was I don't know,
it was just wasn't a western shirt and just had
letters on it. It was on the shirt. I don't know,
I don't know. I had like the letter H and
like what does that stand? I didn't see that. Yeah,
I don't. I don't know. It was you know it

(28:33):
was it was It made her look forty seven years old?

Speaker 3 (28:37):
Did It was just very curious because Candice is way
more fashionable than that. So I'm like, who who decided
that this was a good look?

Speaker 1 (28:46):
I don't know, I don't know, but you know what,
those weird, stupid pleated pants were kind of popular, you know,
we're Yeah, they kind of were. But they didn't do
anything for your thea. You know, it's just safe on
how else? I didn't spell it out, kiss it out.

(29:07):
I bet they know. I bet they Well, if they know,
then I'm not blowing up. I say, you know, so
google it don't. Yeah, the pleats don't do anything for
there's more flattering under belt area, right, No, it was
just an odd choice for a fifteen year old. Thank
she's fifteen. Yeah, it was just odd. It was very distracting,
as you can tell. I'm very distracted. Yeah, even doing

(29:29):
this recap. So moving, always, always so.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
Then Danny turns on his megaphone once again to shout Joey,
and Joey nervously.

Speaker 1 (29:40):
Spits out his coffee. In response.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
Danny applies some pressure, telling him that they expect another
win in the pie eating contest this year. So Joey
puffs up his chest and deepens his voice. I am
the world's greatest pie eater. Nobody can touch me, Aunt Phyllis.
You're out there doing your needle point. Know this, I
will destroy you.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
I would pay money to hear you do a macho
man Randy Savage voice for the rest of this podcast.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Sorry, it would be changing the channel immediately.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
So Danny grabs two pies and places them in front
of Joey for a nice little warm up. Joey boasts,
all right, who wants to spar with the champ I
need a little competition here. Becky eyes the pies and
casually notes, oh, blueberry, I'll try. The two get into
their pie eating positions with their hands tied behind their backs,

(30:37):
and then Danny gives them the go ahead. The entire
family rallies around Joey, but Becky seems to be eating
at the same pace as him. Blueberry pie is getting all.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
Over their faces, just like something Danny would have freaked
out about. Though, blueberry pie, It's gonna stain everything, gonna
stain everything.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
This was an ambitious scene, you know, seems to be
a like a trash bag laid down like you're carving
a pumpkin or something.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
Right, right, get one of those bibs they give.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
You at the lobster or restaurants. Yeah, this was messy.
Just then, Jesse strolls in to witness the action. He wonders,
did we run out of forks? Becky pops up and
kisses him before diving back into her pie, and as
a result, she gets blueberry jam all over Jesse's cheeks.
You know, the makeup artists were just hating this scene.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
They're like, right, sit ways us blueberry pie for pie
eating scenes because it's the most it stands out the most.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Yeah, you can tell exactly. It does stay in your face.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
So yeah, man, this is a big ask. This is
a big ask for everybody involved. So shortly after this,
Becky announces finished. Danny examines her plate and declares, we
have a new champion. Joey tries to protest, no fair,
she's having twins, she's eating for three. I think I

(32:00):
had a blueberry up my nose. Jesse decides it's time
to switch gears because he has some very exciting news
to share, and he has to pull focus once again
from the group back to himself. Apparently he just met
with a record company and they loved his music. Another
record company, another record company, another song, another I don't know,

(32:21):
I don't know is anyone taking notes on Jesse's career,
because it's it's very repetitive.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
They said they'll give him a record deal if he
can come up with one big hit. Michelle chimes in
with what she believes is equally good news. You're my
partner in the balloon race. Jesse looks disinterested. Oh that's right,
the picnic. She nods, let's practice right now, Jesse insists,
I will. I promise, but right now I have to
go downstairs and write the greatest song ever written.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Just give me ten minutes.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
Danny jokes that is the kind of groundless confidence we
need to win that Tanner family trophy because, and he
picks up the megaphone Againage outs, we are the Bay
Area Tanners and we are gonna win, all right. Michelle
flex is just like Joey did and says in the
menacing voice at.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Phyllis, you are dead mate. So this what I started
thinking about, though, was this implies that there are other Tanners, Yes,
in the northern California area. Well, we know that Grandma
before she was Doris Roberts, lives in the Seattle.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
I mean when she was the other lady. Yeah, the
blonde the got it. Can't remember her name, but.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
Yeah, there's at least one Tanner that we've met. Wendy.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
Uh, it's coming at some point with the Monkey, we're.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
Just in it. We just we just tried Arlene h
last week, a couple of weeks ago. That's right, we
have monkey. So that's two Tanners. I don't know. I
don't know, we're Wendy. There's obviously enough for a picnic
in teams, so big a lot of Tanners. Yeah, I'm saying,
but he's getting the whole.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
He's getting Jesse and Becky involved, Like, it doesn't matter
if you don't have the last name Tanner, you're gonna
be You're gonna be on the Tanner team.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
It's true. Yeah, bay Area Tanner's. Uh okay.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
So now we're in the living room. Stephanie marches up
to DJ with determination, come on, we have to practice
for the three legged race. DJ hardly glances at her
while continuing to file her nails. Can't you see that
I'm busy. Steph decides to take the tattle tale approach instead,
yelling Dad, DJ's not showing any team spirit.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
That sounds about right. Sure enough.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
That gets DJ's attention. She hops up from the couch
and sighs, let's get this over with. They tie their
legs together, as Steph reminds her, we have to practice
day and night, night and day until we have it
perfect so we can win. When their legs are secured,
they attempt to walk and immediately collapse onto the couch.
Just then the phone rings and DJ lights up.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
That's my phone. I bet it's Ben Andrews. He's unbelievably hot.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
She fumbles to untie the scarf that's holding their legs together,
but the knot is too tight. She shouts toward the
phone with desperation. Ben, don't hang up. And it took
me a second to remember DJ has her own line.
I'm like, why the phone's right there, Why.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
It's the Yeah, it's the it's the early cell phone
idea of the nineties when yeah, yes, the old your
own line was the thing.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
You could not have this bit if cell phones existed,
Like Noah, got to get up to your own line. So,
despite Stephanie's wishes to keep practicing, DJ drags her upstairs,
directly to the phone. She insists that they'll practice going
up the stairs, and she chants inside outside inside, outside,
As they shuffle up to her room.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
They finally make it.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
To DJ's bed and the phone is still ringing. She
catches her breath before casually answering hello. Her face immediately drops.
She hands the phone to Stephanie with the scowl. It's
for you, Steph Grin's Oh thanks, I gave out your
number her for emergencies. It's such a little sisters. Yeah, such,
and then it's a boy that you're talking to. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

(36:08):
it's got game, you know, Steph's got Yeah, it's just
nine years old and just rackless.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
Down in the basement, Jesse's at the piano workshopping his
new song. He attempts, I'm looking at three day old crust.
I'll give it to Joey.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
He'll eat anything.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
Just then, Michelle enters with the balloon in hand and says,
guess what time it is, and Jesse huffs time for
me to write a decent song. She shakes her head, Nope,
it's time to practice. You need to walk like this,
and she puts the balloon between her legs and starts
walking around the room.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
Wattle wattle, wattle, wattle, wattle. He gives her a fake smile.
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (36:48):
Now let me get back to my tune. Here, Michelle frowns,
you gotta practice too, partner. He sighs in defeat and
takes the balloon from her, speed walking a few steps
while saying, wattle, wattle, wattle wattle. There, now take off.
I gotta get back to my music. She asks, can
I hear it? And he admits, oh, it's not really
finished yet, but it starts like this. He plays a

(37:08):
couple of notes on the piano before saying, then I
do like a verse and then a chorus, and a
really nice bridge and a chorus, and it ends like this,
and he plays the same couple of notes again. He wonders,
what do you think, and she flatly states you got nothing.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
So she suggests he do a song.

Speaker 3 (37:26):
Like five Little Speckled Frogs, and she sings the nursery
rhyme for him, complete with a couple of little dance
moves to really drive her point home. I remember that song.
Oh yes, kids saying that on loop you know, Oh
I got a little speckled go.

Speaker 1 (37:42):
Yeah. He tries to interrupt her, but Michelle keeps on singing.
Then Joey walks in and recognizes the song and he
sings along with her. Of course he does, yes, Joey's
just like, yeah, this is just At.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
This point, Jesse is fed up enough. Joey, I hope
you have a good reason for interrupting me. Joey nods,
I sure do, and he opens his newspaper. Check this
out another Elvis sighting, This time they spotted him in
Portland playing miniature golf with Bigfoot. Jesse groans and bangs
his forehead on the piano keys. Then Becky walks in

(38:17):
holding a tray of food. She asks her husband, how's
the song going. Jesse lies, Oh, great, terrific, but Michelle
chimes in with the truth he gots nothing. Jesse explains,
I got nothing because I got no privacy in here.
Can you people just please leave me alone? Joey responds, okay,
mister cranky pants before he makes his way upstairs, but

(38:41):
Becky stays. But Jesse narrows his eyes at her, and
she questions, oh, you don't want me to leave too.
Jesse grins, uh huh. She gasps after I waddled down
here to bring you this snack, and he nods mm hmm.
She narrows her eyes right.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
Back at him.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
Well, honey, don't take this the wrong way. But and
she blows a raspberry in his face and waddles out.
Through all of this, Michelle is still hanging around.

Speaker 1 (39:08):
Yep, she's waiting to practice races.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
Yeah, she says, uncle Jesse, I have an idea. You
should write a song about a turtle and a duck.
Jesse responds, thank you. Michelle, run along, and he gently
scoots her out of the basement. Once he's alone again,
he turns back to the piano and tries, oh, there
was a turtle and a duck. And he quickly puts
an end to that idea and sighs with frustration. And

(39:35):
my question is, why didn't he just turn on that
red light that he spent so much time installing a
couple of episodes.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
That's an excellent point. He's not recording. But my other
question is how did he even meet with this record
company if he doesn't have a song. Is that how
it goes?

Speaker 3 (39:51):
Like?

Speaker 1 (39:51):
I'm not I don't know much about the music world.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
So yeah, they're not gonna be like, I'll give you
a record deal if you can give me a hit song.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
No, no, no, you have the hit song. Long written
and you bring something to right, right, you have to
what are you pitching? If you're right, what are they
going to give you?

Speaker 2 (40:07):
The deal on some But maybe it was on some
it was on some previous Jesse and the Rippers stuff.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
Maybe they're so that's a little old.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
We need something new, something from your last record deal
or the record deal before. Then.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
You want something new. They want fresh rippers.

Speaker 3 (40:25):
Yeah, fresh, yes, and uh the Jesse's feeling the pressure, okay, yeah. Next,
in the living room, Danny has all the picnic gear
spread out and Michelle grabs the megaphone and shouts, let's go, people,
it's picnic time. Move it, move it, Move it. DJ
and Steph march in together, totally in sync. Danny beams, Oh,

(40:46):
I'm so proud of you girls. You've mastered the three
legged walks so well. It's as if you're not even
tied together, and the girls respond in perfect unison, We're
not stop talking when I talk. Joey and Becky's stroll in. Next,
Joey tells her he's entering the pie eating contest as
a wild card contestant. She laughs, Joey, you don't stand

(41:09):
a chance, he fires back.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
Of course I do.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
I've switched to the Tasmanian devil technique. And he turns
on his impression and pretends to shovel a pie into
his face and caps it all off with a burp. H.
Then Kimmy bursts through the front door and happily greets everyone.
Oh lah, fellow picnickers. My bag's in the van and
I'm ready for action, coach, and my perm has also arrived.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
By Curly Hair era, Yes, curly hair, don't care, it's here.
I didn't love it back then, but I really like
it now. It's Oh, it's cute. It looks really cute. Yeah,
it's a good style for Kimmy. I liked it.

Speaker 3 (41:44):
Anything is better than the season one or season two
hair with the mullet.

Speaker 1 (41:48):
Oh my god, remember those? Remember your wighead? The wig head?
The wighead was so bad. Yeah, so I'm here for this.
It was gigantic. Yeah, God, I forgot about that. We've improved.

Speaker 3 (42:00):
The sure Workdrobe is getting a little worse, but the
hairstyles are improving. So right, Danny steps in, Kimmy. As
much as we'd love to have you along on this trip,
there's just no room in the van and besides, you
got to be a member of the Tanner family, kim
I mean not really.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
Really, Yeah, I'm stop glad. I was expecting Kimmy to
be like, what about Gladstone and cutsable? Yeah, that would have.

Speaker 3 (42:27):
Been a much better comeback, I think than the one
that's written here, which is she Uh, Kimmy says, I
am a member of the Tanner family.

Speaker 1 (42:34):
At least that's what my parents keep telling me.

Speaker 4 (42:38):
Ah.

Speaker 3 (42:38):
So the insight into Kimmy's abusive family home life right right, Yeah,
they're like, we don't love you, go next shore.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
Right, and then the people here like we hate you too.

Speaker 3 (42:46):
Yeah, They're they're laying the groundwork here for Kimmy's Kimmy's
sad home life.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
Like this just gets so sad.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
So Jesse walks in with a five o'clock shadow and
a depressed demeanor, saying he needs to talk to everybody.
Michelle spots him and cheers into the megaphone, Hey, uncle
Jesse's here. Danny gently takes the device from her and says,
I think we've had enough of the bullhorn for today,
and immediately after he shouts into.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
The bullhorn, all right, everybody into the van, move it
move It, Move It.

Speaker 3 (43:18):
Stephanie hand's Jesse a T shirt that reads Bay Area
Tanner's and she whispers it's a poly blend.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
Dad said it wouldn't shrink, but I think it's just cheaper.

Speaker 3 (43:28):
Stuff's very smart, like she's looked into all of this,
the materials.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
The thing.

Speaker 1 (43:32):
Yeah, you're very thorough. Jesse finally breaks the news.

Speaker 3 (43:37):
After four days, he still hasn't come up with a
decent song, so he's going to pass on the picnic
to stay home and work. Kimmy perks, right up, look
on the bright side, Janners. Now there's room in the
van for me. Danny pleads, Jess, we need you now
more than ever. Everyone else chimes in asking him to reconsider.
Joey tries to convince him that the picnic will help

(43:59):
take his mind off of work, but Jesse pushes back,
I want to keep my mind on my work. Don't
you guys understand it's my one shot at a record deal.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
It's not your one shot, Jesse. Right, So it's my
one third shot at a record deal. It's my one
shot for this week, right right, It shot for this
season at a record deal. Not even though it's I
feel like we already had another one. We started off
with Yeah, yeah, no, it's this is this is again?
Deja vous?

Speaker 3 (44:28):
Right, Michelle starts pouting, But you're my partner in the
balloon race. Jesse demands, well, get another partner, and she whins,
But you promised, He shakes his head. Michelle, I can't,
She repeats, but you promised, and he snaps, Well, then
I'm going to break my promise. I'm not going to
the stupid picnic, so leave me alone, and he storms out.

Speaker 1 (44:53):
But he doesn't like picnics. No, he's cranky. He's cranky.
He's been up for four nights straight, and he's you know,
he's Jesse's he's not happy.

Speaker 3 (45:02):
When Jesse's not happy, the whole house, whole house isn't happen, right.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
So Michelle is shocked, Uncle Jesse. Someone told her no, right,
someone told her no. She's not used to that. She's like, wait, what,
You're not dropping your job for me? Right?

Speaker 3 (45:20):
Uncle Jesse yelled at me. Danny tries to comfort her.
I bet he didn't mean anything by it. Oh, come on,
We're still gonna have fun at the family picnic. But
Michelle is hurt.

Speaker 1 (45:31):
She decides Uncle Jesse's not nice anymore. Oh no, he's
gonna lose this therapist. He's gonna writ I know this
is a bad this is a bad little breakup. Yeah,
you turn on her. Who are you going to talk to?
Who's going to give you your advice?

Speaker 2 (45:45):
Thing?

Speaker 1 (45:45):
Yes, I mean they're kind of I mean, Michelle's four
or five, so I give her a pass. But they're
kind of both wrong. Like she needs to know she
sometimes sometimes have to adult, right, So Jesse's work out.
Jesse needs to come, she told the trigger on one
of these damn records deals and get it over with.

Speaker 3 (46:02):
Right, But you know that we have to have conflict.
So here we go in the basement. Jesse's back at
the piano. He thinks he has something, until suddenly his
melody morphs into the Brady Bunch theme. He mutters, well,
maybe no one will remember. He taps out a few
more keys, trying to salvage it, but he gives up
again with utter frustration. Next we are in the van

(46:33):
in the fakest driving scene ever.

Speaker 1 (46:36):
So great. It's the lights from the floor up are
always so But you know what, though, I will say,
even sometimes in like big movies or TV shows, like,
you know, it's all like you look at it and
you're like, there's why are they so from the bottom.
It's otherwise you one get horrible shadows that make you

(46:58):
look atrocious and you can't see. But yeah, this was pretty.
I always feel bad for the lighting guys whenever there's
a car site.

Speaker 2 (47:05):
We were gonna all be Yeah, we're gonna fit eight
people in a van.

Speaker 1 (47:08):
Can you make them all lit? Well, yes, these poor guys, and.

Speaker 3 (47:12):
They have to jerry rig this whatever the lighting system
in what's essentially a real car, but it's deconstructed onto
the sound stage.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
It's just difficult for everyone, But.

Speaker 3 (47:22):
I guess less difficult than leaving the studio and going.

Speaker 1 (47:26):
On card right, yeaco the stage. Yeah, this is the
better option.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
So every single family member and Kimmy is belting out
coming round the mountain. As they continue their road trip,
Danny tries to kick off another verse, but everyone groans
ready for this sing along to be over. Then Michelle
asks are we there yet? And Danny answers no, we're
not at the motel yet, so she tries again, when
will we be there? And everyone chimes in together when

(47:55):
we get there? Michelle defends herself. I was just asking,
don't have a how for.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
The seventy eight times? Yes, my kids used to be
Are we there yet? Are there? We're in the fast
lane on the five freeway. Do you think we're there?
We're going with the flow of traffic. There's right, yeah,
to get doesn't it look like we're in the mountains.

Speaker 3 (48:21):
So Joey chimes in, I think what Michelle is trying
to say is she has to go to the bathroom.
Michelle frowns, No, he don't, so Joey confesses, all right,
I do, please, Danny, I'm dying. Danny scolds, didn't I
say to not drink that thermos of tang?

Speaker 1 (48:37):
Oh tang?

Speaker 3 (48:40):
Yes, that's oh man, My mouth is tingling, just king
about tang.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (48:46):
Then Stephanie shouts, Dad, Jimmy's looking at me and Kimmy,
who is staring directly at her and says, no, I'm not.
Danny says Kimmy, stop looking at Stephanieuddenly, Michelle.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
Wrinkles her nose.

Speaker 3 (49:01):
Something stinks. Becky admits, well, we're in the woods. It's
probably a skunk. But then DJ chimes in, I know
that smell. Kimmy, put your shoes back on, and the
whole car groans with disgust.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
I'm sorry. I know it's not just I'm sorry. That's it.
At least it's funny like this situation. Okay, the situation
anybody takes their shoes off in a car. You're like, bro, no,
don't yet. That yeah joke, the joke.

Speaker 3 (49:29):
It's not the joke itself, it's the amount of time
joke was repeated that I take issue with. But this
is We're only on the second mention of the second
of the stinky feet, so I'll allow it this time.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (49:41):
Next, we are in a diner, a dimly lit diner.
We had very dark sets this week for some reason.
Jesse walks in, looking haggard. He tells the waiter a
cup of black coffee and keep it coming, takes a
seat at the bar, starts tapping his spoon against the
counter very fast, nervously. The man sitting next to him,

(50:02):
who looks a lot like Elvis, isn't having it.

Speaker 1 (50:06):
He says, switch to decaff, will your son. You're jangling
my nerves in mind too. Isn't that annoying when people
are doing like doing something like that, like you're clicking
a pen.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
Yes, yeah, like it makes me well, me and iophonia.
I'm like, I will stand you in the eye with
that pen.

Speaker 3 (50:24):
Yeah, I didn't know you had uh yeah, we'll knuckle
cracking makes me.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
Yes, my mind, I didn't know that because I do that.
I do that. It like it? Yeah. Anyway, do I
get like very angry at the sound of people chewing
or typing on a keyboard? Oh, the sound of a
remote clicking? Wow? Yeah, well, I have a fairly long
list of things that set me off.

Speaker 3 (50:49):
Well to talk about this with Wan Pablo, because he
too has very bad mesophonia.

Speaker 1 (50:54):
Yes, and he used to wear earplugs on the set
of Fuller. Yeah, well in the hair makeup room, especially
because it's loud in there and everyone's talking and hair
driers are going yeah, ohyway, it's overwhelming. Yes, and I
don't know where I was. Jesse just lost his mind.
Jesse lost his mind and he was annoying.

Speaker 3 (51:10):
Elvis next, Yes, yeah, yeah, Jesse apologizes, I'm sorry, I
have a lot on my mind. And then Jesse looks
up and does a double take. Elvis turns to the
kitchen and calls out sprout salad, low coal dressing on
the side.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
Yeah, sounds terrible.

Speaker 3 (51:27):
Then the Elvis man boasts to Jesse, I lost seventy
two pounds on this diet. Man, I got sprouts coming
out my side burns. Jesse stammers, you know you look
exactly like, well, no, you're gone. I mean you're not gone,
you're here. But never mind me. I'm having a bad day.
Go ahead, finish your salad. You don't want to hear

(51:48):
about my problems. Elvis agrees, probably not. Yeah, it's probably not.

Speaker 1 (51:54):
But Jesse takes us as an invitation to tell him everything.

Speaker 3 (51:58):
You know, Michelle's pissed it in, so somebody right, Elvis
is now the makeshift therapist for.

Speaker 1 (52:05):
The day, which we're gonna get to. Okay, it's.

Speaker 3 (52:12):
Jesse continues. My problem is my family. They're driving me nuts,
so I blew up at them. You see, I finally
got a shot at a record deal for the third time,
but I got to come up with one really great song,
and now they're all mad because I'm not going to
some stupid picnic.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
Elvis suddenly becomes interested. Picnic. Are they going to have
barbecue there? Jesse shrugs. I guess so, but I don't
have time for that you know, my whole career is
on the line. Yeah, I mean what you what if
you have to go back to being an ad exec
or or an exterminator or any number of things that

(52:51):
you've probably he's been through.

Speaker 3 (52:52):
This is We're on season five, this is about his
fifth career. I think, Yes, just keeps trying new things
all the time. So Elvis presses him, then, why are
you home working on this record? Jesse counters, I'm practically finished.
I just came out for a cup of coffee. But
the man sees right through this. You got nothing, do you?
Jesse sighs, Well, I wrote a song about a turtle

(53:15):
and a duck. Not really top forty though, But you
want to know what my real problem is?

Speaker 4 (53:23):
Like?

Speaker 1 (53:23):
No, but I have a feeling you're gonna tell me anyway.
He already said no once.

Speaker 3 (53:29):
And for a penny, in for a pound, So Elvis says,
lay it on me. So Jesse opens up. I got
twins coming. I want them to be proud of their
old man.

Speaker 1 (53:39):
I want to be a success. It's why I've been
working so hard. I want them to look up and
see platinum records on the wall of the attic that
I live in right, you know what I mean? Like,
I don't know, bro, you want to start somewhere maybe
just gets Rod apart it. You want your gizz to
be proud of you know what I mean? But more

(54:00):
than thirty feet away from Michelle. Like, well that's this
is the farthest he's ever been.

Speaker 3 (54:05):
Yeah, there's a lot of things that Jesse should be
focused on right now, So Elvis, he shakes his head.
Babies don't care about platinum records. All they care about
is if their daddy loves them, if he's there to
hug and kiss them. Shame on you for snapping at
your family over a picnic, Jesse shamefully adds, I also

(54:27):
broke a promise to my four year old niece and
the man wins his I wish you hadn't told me that.

Speaker 1 (54:32):
Ooh oh oh damn. It's getting spicy in this right,
and I'm like, no, I'm gonna have to take you outside.
I don't have to take you out back, right.

Speaker 3 (54:41):
You're so busy chasing your pot of gold, You're forgetting
what's really important. If you want to be a success,
then you be a good father, a good husband, a
good friend. After that, it's all gravy, and then he pauses,
ooh that sounds good. Hey, Sonny, throw some gravy on
that salad, will you?

Speaker 1 (55:00):
He laughs.

Speaker 3 (55:00):
I don't know why I dumped all this on you.
I feel like they know you or something. Let me
buy your meal. Elvis smiles, Thank you, Thank you very much.
Jesse shakes his head and disbelieve. I swear the way
you said that, you remind me so much of Elvis
cuts him off. I know, Wayne Newton. Jesse laughs and

(55:21):
walks towards the door, but Elvis stops him. It's a
chilly night, so he takes off his scarf and slings
it around Jesse's neck. I love this scene this like
I mean, of course it's wacky, right. This was just
as a great message for Jesse. It was so ridiculous,
but I was kind of in it.

Speaker 1 (55:40):
I was totally here for it.

Speaker 3 (55:42):
But I was like, oh, now we have Elvis, because well,
I'm not going to listen to anyone except no, not
even Michelle, so the only person he.

Speaker 1 (55:50):
Was the only persons.

Speaker 3 (55:52):
This was actually brilliant, true bring in the king to
give him some solid advice. Yeah about check your ego
at the door, and there for your family, you know, yeah,
wise words.

Speaker 1 (56:03):
Elvis is probably like I'm speaking from experience.

Speaker 3 (56:06):
Yes, yeah, he's been there once or twice, so yep.
Next we're on the side of the road, another dark set.
The girls are leaned up against the parked car and
DJ size I hope they can fix the van. Stephanie panics,
what if we're stuck here forever? And Kimmy doesn't sugarcoat it.

(56:26):
In that case, we're bear snacks.

Speaker 1 (56:28):
I always forget.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
I'm like, how are they in the I'm like, oh, wait,
they're in San Francisco, so it's like a couple hours
drive to the eastern Sierras. I'm like, how do they
get to the mountains?

Speaker 3 (56:38):
And yeah, yes, they're like, oh yeah, we're in a
different part of California.

Speaker 1 (56:42):
Then Joey hops out of the car. I think I
got it.

Speaker 3 (56:45):
Danny, give it a try. Danny gasps, we did it.
We got the hood open. He grabs his flashlight and
takes a look at the engine. Danny groans, no, wonder
we broke down. It's filthy under here. DJ admits we're
a big rubble. Suddenly, Stephanie yells someone's coming. Michelle lights up.
I hope it's the ice cream man.

Speaker 1 (57:07):
We see that it's Jesse rolling up in his motorcycle.
What a coincidence?

Speaker 3 (57:13):
Becky asks what are you doing here, and he explains
I was gonna meet you guys at the picnic.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
Is something wrong with the van? Danny waves him over.
The engine is filthy? Take a look.

Speaker 3 (57:24):
Jesse gives it a quick look over and tells Joey
to start the car up. He easily fixes something within
seconds and tells everyone it was just a loose distributor cap.
Joey tries to outman him by pointing out which you
never would have found if I hadn't gotten the hood,
hadn't got the hood open. Yeah, I mean that's important too,

(57:45):
It's very important. Jesse changes the subject back to himself again.
Gotta pull focus right right. You know, I met this
guy at a diner who looked exactly like Wayne Newton,
and then he gets serious. I just want to say
I'm sorry for snapping at everyone. I got so wrapped
up in this record deal riding around on my high

(58:05):
horse that I forgot about what's really important, and that's
the people. I love you, guys, so I hope you
can forgive me Kimmy doesn't waste a second. She rushes
in for a hug. Of course, I can forgive you.
Danny chuckles. You can let go now, Kimmy. Jess, don't
be so hard on yourself. We know what kind of
pressure you've been under. Michelle disagrees, no, we don't. Jesse sighs,

(58:30):
and he asks his little niece, will.

Speaker 1 (58:33):
You forgive your uncle? Jesse?

Speaker 3 (58:35):
She declares, your name is uncle Meanie, and he realizes
you're still mad at me.

Speaker 1 (58:41):
Huh. She rolls her eyes. Duh, this that was actually
very funny. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (58:46):
Oh the audience loved it too. They laughed for a while. Uh,
she's just she's got this grudge.

Speaker 1 (58:52):
You know.

Speaker 3 (58:52):
She's not letting go as easily as everyone else has
n to be. In front of Jesse, She's gonna hold
him to this for another minute. Jesse laughs, Well, I
deserve a Uh I'm sorry I let you down, kid,
and Michelle goes on, you yelled and you broke a promise.
Jesse admits, if it makes you feel better, I felt

(59:13):
terrible all day. Michelle soffins that helps a little. Jesse suggests,
how about this, we'll enter that balloon race together. We'll win,
and we'll have the most fun we've ever had in
our whole lives.

Speaker 1 (59:27):
Michelle lights up. That helps a lot.

Speaker 3 (59:30):
He picks her up. All right, come on, give me
a little love. She gives him a big kiss on
the cheek before Danny walks over with the flashlight. He
shines the light in their faces and jokes, excuse me,
everything okay over here, and we're out of that scene,
and we're out of the woods, and we're out. A
few hours later, we're in the kitchen.

Speaker 1 (59:49):
We were kids in the wood chit's with the Z
in the woods, Zee in the woods singular yes uh.

Speaker 3 (59:57):
In the kitchen, Danny is happily polishing a small gold trophy.
When dj walks over, she wonders, haven't you polished that
long enough? You're starting to wear off the inscription. He
admits he's just so proud of his family. Apparently they
almost had a clean sweep this year, except for the
pie eating contest. Becky sighs, Danny, We're really sorry we

(01:00:20):
let you down. Joey chimes in, Hey, who would have
known that when that when Aunt Phyllis took out her
dentures like that, she could gum down a pie that fast.

Speaker 1 (01:00:33):
The use of the word gum gum down a high. Yeah,
it's what a visual man. You'd think that wouldn't be
as much of a Yeah. That would actually not work
out as well, because how are you gonna chow? You
can't chew teeth. That's why blueberry pie is soft.

Speaker 3 (01:00:51):
I guess they Well, they figure it out, like Holly,
who has lost half her time.

Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
Let's let's ask Holly's opinion on this. Like Holly, if
you were to enter a pie eating contest that you
have no teeth, would you approach it?

Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
Yeah, crazier and first into the plate and eats right
off the plate without using her hands. She does it
the exact same way as Becky and Joey.

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
Well, yes, if Ally sat down and started using her
hands to eat, that would be almost more concerning than
the fact that she can't see her here.

Speaker 1 (01:01:25):
So I don't know, Okay, I hope she does. She'll
just say it. We'll take her advice in other areas,
not gummy gumming down food. Right, So Jesse runs up
the stairs.

Speaker 3 (01:01:40):
He announces, Hey, everybody, I want you to come down
to the studio and check out my new tune. So
in the basement. Sure enough, Jesse has a there is
a full concert.

Speaker 1 (01:01:52):
Jess is a full band and eight hundred backup singers
filling up the entire studio and mullet go. Everybody was there. Everybody.
Everybody was there, every people we've never seen sun horns. Yeah,
there's like a it's a full Although I will I'm
gonna I'm gonna say I actually like this song. It

(01:02:14):
was clearly oh see, I had the AudioSet reaction. I
did not. I was like, this is like an intro
song to a movie of the week, or like, I
don't know, I just didn't love it. I don't know why.

Speaker 2 (01:02:23):
I'm not saying I want to buy the album or go,
you know, follow them on tour. But it was it
was it felt a little more like like it just.

Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
I don't know, it had a little bop to it,
you know. It was. It wasn't like Forever something that
felt overly you know, it was.

Speaker 3 (01:02:43):
Fun, overly overly emotional. Okay, well, I see, I preferred Forever.
This one was just mid. It was like, as the
kids say, this one was just mid for me.

Speaker 1 (01:02:52):
I actually think I'm interesting. I like this one. I
like this little song of the more you did.

Speaker 3 (01:02:57):
Okay, Well that's okay. We're allowed to disagree. And uh,
I'm going to force you to listen to that song
every night, but I didn't.

Speaker 1 (01:03:04):
That's settled there. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:03:07):
So Jesse reminds his family that it's the world premiere
of this song and he doesn't know if the record
company's gonna like it, but he's very proud of it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:16):
And he says he couldn't have done it without them. Well,
I mean, really, you were trying to do it without
them the whole time. That's the whole premise of this
twenty two minutes. He was trying to get rid of it, right,
So that line didn't even make sense.

Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
Well, he couldn't have done it without them emotionally, but
just not physically present. Yeah, I need your emotional presence,
but physically get the hell out of here.

Speaker 1 (01:03:37):
This is true, Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:03:40):
Jesse begins to sing the song and it starts off
slow and meaningful.

Speaker 2 (01:03:43):
See, I thought you'd like that part.

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
No, that's that's the part I liked the least to us.
I did. Yeah, that was I didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
I was like, oh, here we go again, And that's
maybe that's what it was. Is I really thought.

Speaker 1 (01:03:55):
We were going down that road as like you thought
it a little and I was like, okay, okay, this is.

Speaker 3 (01:04:00):
The pickup was a little bit better. But I was
this is not a top forty song. It's not a
top ten.

Speaker 1 (01:04:06):
Well, but I've ever been uh I will say though,
uh I My The only focus was the man without
a shirt playing the saxophone, with the vest in the background,
with the hair. That was it. I was like, is
he wearing a shirt?

Speaker 2 (01:04:28):
He's just wearing this yeah, fashion literally like the opposite
of a three piece suit.

Speaker 1 (01:04:36):
Just just that's it. It was. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:04:41):
I mean, first, so much happening in this c so
much whoever the blonde guy was with uncle Gary. Uh
Gary Gibbler Yo gibbler. Yeah, who now has a beard.

Speaker 1 (01:04:53):
By the way, he's trying count anything totally changed.

Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
The blonde guy next to him talk about wig hair.
So I don't know your name. I'm not trying. This
is nothing personal. If you're my friend, I would also
make fun of you. But damn, that look.

Speaker 1 (01:05:10):
It was. It was bad, like its own little movement
on top of the thing. You know. This was and
then there was then there was We had worn players
with mullets, we had a bongos, bongos like they had.
We had bongos, many instrument section, we had two background singers.

(01:05:31):
It's it just didn't stop. It just kept going like, oh,
there's more people, there's more people. Oh, there's more Yeah.
And one of them wasn't wearing a shirt and thing
at the front. Just have to say it, like, why
was that a thing in nineteen ninety one? It was
wearing no shirt but just the vest. Oh god, yes,
I seem to remember many a photo of like Richard

(01:05:55):
Grico and and Johnny Depp from twenty one Jump Street
with like the hair and their eye and the very
drumatical shirt under a vest with like some chains hanging.

Speaker 2 (01:06:06):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure John actually wears that in the
Forever video.

Speaker 3 (01:06:11):
Oh yeah, he's got is he shirtless or he's have
the vest on? You're right, there's something in appropriate. He's
shirtless with the vests with the babies, with.

Speaker 1 (01:06:18):
The shirtless babies in their dis goes away completely. Yeah,
it's weird, man. All I'm saying is it was the
nineties and vests without shirts for a thing, and I'm
just disappointed that this new generation has decided to leave
that out of the nineties nostalgia Wardrobe five.

Speaker 3 (01:06:35):
They're like, we're not bringing that bah, thank you very much.
You go full or go home.

Speaker 1 (01:06:41):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:06:42):
I don't see a mullet and a vestless or a
shirtless vest wearing saxophone player.

Speaker 1 (01:06:48):
Generation has failed.

Speaker 3 (01:06:50):
We spent our whole budget on backup singers and band members,
so we didn't have enough money.

Speaker 1 (01:06:54):
For shirts for the entire right, right, So yeah, do
you want a shirt? Or he wants a saxophone? Yes,
I want the saxophone. This is so.

Speaker 3 (01:07:03):
Crazy, So, uh where am I? The beat kicks in?
Finally we're out of the slow bit. The beat kicks in,
and the entire band joins in.

Speaker 1 (01:07:13):
All seventeen thousand of them, seventeen million.

Speaker 3 (01:07:18):
The lyrics outline Jesse's behavior towards his family and how
they opened his eyes to what's most important in life.

Speaker 1 (01:07:25):
Love Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:07:27):
The song continues and Jesse even shows off some of
his bongo skills.

Speaker 1 (01:07:32):
I mean it was impressive. John is a great John
is a great, you know, percussion instrument player? Yeah, he is.
I feel like he added this. I feel like John
was like, you know what we need in this scene?
We need bongos.

Speaker 3 (01:07:42):
And so so the.

Speaker 2 (01:07:46):
Recording that they did of it, I'm sure because the
other guy's playing bongos too, so there's like two layered
sort of bongo parts.

Speaker 1 (01:07:53):
They're like, well, John is probably you can't play both
of them. Yeah, that's actually one. Yeah, I gotta do it,
can't resist. So the entire family dances along to the song.
Dave is in this soundproof booth. I thought this was no.
That was not.

Speaker 2 (01:08:12):
That was Dave going in and doing the weird little
dance thing that him and Bob would do and doing
that whole weird little noise, just being idiots. And they
actually cut to it and used it in the show
because Dave wouldn't stop doing it during the whole scene.

Speaker 1 (01:08:28):
And I'm sure Joel was like, I don't even care,
just moved on, like right, we gotta we gotta move on.
We're gonna lose the losing ten, right, So I just
laughed the whole time. I'm like the second he like,
I was like, oh no, yeah, it's one of those
moments where you Dave can't be controlled.

Speaker 3 (01:08:42):
He's gonna go in there. It doesn't matter if you
tell him get out, No, He's gonna swing in there.

Speaker 2 (01:08:46):
And akin to the panel that we did where he
went behind the the screen and was doing shadow puppets
and then out into the audience.

Speaker 1 (01:08:55):
Yeah, it was like that were you. He's just don't
worry about him, just keep going. When he's on a roll,
he can't be stopped. You just let him, just let
you know. Bob was like, how can I tell you
like just wanted to compete, wanted to be in it,
wanted to do it, and couldn't. Well, that's when you
lose control of the entire set. Actually one boy, and
then I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:09:14):
Sure probably they got yelled at and we're like, just
can we just finish this without YouTube being idiots?

Speaker 1 (01:09:19):
Focus, you guys. Focus.

Speaker 2 (01:09:22):
Meanwhile, everybody's paying attention to the shirtless best man.

Speaker 3 (01:09:26):
Yeah, he's he's pulling focus over there. There's so much
going on. Uh, the family's dancing. They all burst into applause.
The song concludes, and that is our show, Es and gentlemen.
What twenty two minutes?

Speaker 1 (01:09:41):
This was packed, packed full of I don't know if
this was a hallucination or I mean, I was like,
so what do we are? We? And I guess it's
the tie in is like Joey in his stupid newspaper,
right that, like, oh, there's van an Elvis sighting. That
kind of sets it up. It sets like okay, yeah,
so that we're like buying into it, but yeah, I

(01:10:02):
don't know. I like is I also feel like I
remembered doesn't he turn around?

Speaker 2 (01:10:10):
And wasn't it like then just the glasses or something
sitting on the counter. I feel like I remember that
from something, from something, probably a different show.

Speaker 3 (01:10:20):
We have this mythical quality in a storyline back in
our very first Christmas.

Speaker 1 (01:10:26):
Show with boss Hog, how they were like.

Speaker 3 (01:10:29):
Insinuating that he might actually be Santa disguised as a
as a curmudgeony guy.

Speaker 1 (01:10:33):
So I feel like this was the same thing. That's
what Okay, that's what I like, And maybe that's what
it was. I think there's something like popped at the
end of that episode or something that.

Speaker 3 (01:10:41):
He would Yeah, well definitely the scarf was a signature
Elvis thing.

Speaker 1 (01:10:47):
So I think it's left up. I think it's intentionally
left up to the audience. You decide depending on if
you believe that Elvis is dead or not. Do you
believe in do you believe in Elvis or do you
believe ye, So yeah, I kind of like that. And
it's a sitcom. It's super serious, so I'm okay with this,
not knowing is it real or not. It's just nothing's
real on this show. Probably Jesse talking to him. So

(01:11:09):
they've got seventeen band members in a basement in there,
five hundred thousand dollars studio. Nothing's real. It's as real
as Elvis. Nothing is real. Yeah. Yeah, oh man, this
was a This was you know, it was a cute one.
It was.

Speaker 3 (01:11:23):
It was cute, solid, not my favorite, not the worst,
not the worst time, but it was a you know,
it was fine, it was fine.

Speaker 1 (01:11:30):
I just again it felt like we've I was like,
I feel like we've done this. Jesse's just out about
his career and fought five episodes or five seasons, twenty
four to twenty six episodes. You revisit things. You're gonna
revisit things, and Jesse takes a while to grow up,
so it's.

Speaker 2 (01:11:46):
Not going to happen overnight, and there's a unless he's
unless it's a record contract in which he's going to
get three of them repeatedly.

Speaker 1 (01:11:52):
But he just gets amnesia. Yeah, like every month he's like, oh,
I forgot about the last record, dude. Yeah, yeah, oh yeah,
there you go.

Speaker 3 (01:11:59):
So, but it's a great message about putting your family
first instead of work. Don't get so absorbed, you know,
absorbed in your work that you forget what's really important.
Babies don't care about hit records. They care about their dad.

Speaker 1 (01:12:11):
No, and if they do, those aren't the kind of
babies you want to hang out with. Yeah, exactly, exactly.
Being all those superficial type babies, we're find about the
babies who love you unconditionally, see exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:12:22):
Yes, So yeah, this was an Okay, I give this,
I give this like a six out of Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:12:28):
I'd say it's somewhere in the mid range, five to six. Yeah, cute,
definitely mid range. So it's good.

Speaker 2 (01:12:34):
