Speaker 2 (03:06):
I remember because of course I remember this, but not
someone's name.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Uh. So we were sitting in the airport and.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
We were at JSX, uh, flying out of.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Burbank, which is like the like the semi private like
you you know, it's just kind of small, direct local flights.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Anyway, you sit in an airplane hangar. You know, they
have like seats or whatever in there in the plane.
You walk to the plane that's like outside, but it's
loud in there because you're in a metal airplane hangar.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Right, And we.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Were sitting in these chairs that were like little isolation booths, right,
So they had like walls in between, so it was
kind of leaning around and you know, talking to you.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yeah, and I don't know what we were what the
conversation what I was like, I don't remember what I
was trying to say.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
We were okay, we was about the live show we
were going to do. We were spitballing about if we
were going to do a live show, right, what would
we do?

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, and some well I don't know what I actually
said though, now, something.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Like, well maybe we could get some some brand brand.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
That's what it was said.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
I said, Oh, I said, I bet we could you know,
work out some deals with brands, right? And she was
like what, that's oddly specific. And I was like, that's
like like and then I was confused because I was like,
all I said was brands, which is incredibly vague, right,

(04:42):
And I was like what And she was like, did
you say ramps like the candy And I was like,
you made like the Circus femies That's what I thought you.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
I'm like, do you have a pre existing partnership with them?

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Do you have?

Speaker 3 (04:58):
You started asking me question, do you have a like
are you already working with I was like, it's.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Like brands, I've said, I the Circus Peanut Company. No,
that was not what I thought at all. It was
She was so confused because it was so loud, and yeah,
brands came.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Tie into full house or Jody Sweet.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
Yeah, really confused, Yeah she was really.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
It took a couple of questions and I was like,
what are We're having two different conversations. Yeah, for like
two minutes it was yes, And then the whole rest
of the time all I could think about were those
Circus peanuts. Yeah, which my grammy, My grammy used to
love this, and I will every once in a while
get some Circus peanuts. The strangers, their orange, they taste

(05:43):
bubble gum. They're in the shape of a peanut, none
of which has anything to do with what's actually.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Happened, right right.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, but Brams, if you're listening to anywhere, Brams circus
peanuts all day long.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:59):

peanuts because welcome to the circus.

Of our Hey, there you go, look it, Hobby rights itself.

Speaker 1 (06:14):

you know, like when we were but balling in the
airplane hanger.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Just coming down. Just ideas, yep, I don't think that,
just any notes about what we talked about for the life.
So I didn't know.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
And and the best part was is that Rachel and
I had a call and I was like, oh, we
had a great conversation about all the live shows seven.

Speaker 3 (06:38):

Speaker 3 (07:10):
But we agreed.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
I'm glad we remember the Circus Peanuts story because because
that's what's important.

Speaker 3 (07:17):

Like I still want to talk about It's like, okay,
paid don't.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
I don't care.

Speaker 2 (11:44):

if we don't got to go paint a parking spot
on the blacktop at noon on a you know, summer day,
all day.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
That's right in August, that's a that's a terrible idea to.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Be worked, like firefighter burn suit just to kneel on
the ground.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
Crazy. But yeah, summer's ending. I believe it's been a
great summer. Though.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
I got like four robo calls when we were doing
our earlier podcast today from like L L.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
A U S D.

Speaker 1 (12:12):

the beginning of the year, like reminder stuff.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
Yes, the robo calls are but I yes, yeah, Well.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
It would have been one of those things where I
would have panicked if it was not summer, because I
would have been like, oh my god, something happened.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
Which which one my kids did?

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Which one? I? What do we do now? Right?

Speaker 1 (12:40):
Why are you in the principal's office?

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Right? Right?

Speaker 1 (12:43):
But no, it was not. Oh good, Well, when my
kids were in elementary school back in those days, nothing
was electronic. They would send you home with a tree
full of paper that you'd have to frame out the
same emergency form every single time. The health forms. Well
you still do it, I just do it online. But
you miss filling it out.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
I I weirdly love fill in the blank paperwork.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Are you serious? I didn't know this about you. I've
learned a lot about you today. You like phil so
like school?

Speaker 3 (13:16):
Are you?

Speaker 1 (13:17):
I'm you like the old hencil sharpeners.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Yes, no, I'm so.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
And I've always liked it, like like I would get
so excited to like fill in the little like name
bubbles of the scandron. It gives me some sort of
It's like the when you will watch those videos of
something being perfectly sliced in half and you're like, oh,
that that tickles the brain.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
It's like the okay, not emdr but the attack Timeli.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Oh yeah, it gives me.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
A great sense of satisfaction and completion. Oh, because everything
is in a neat little box and it's asking a
very simple question that I don't have to think and
I can just go through it and then I will
get to the end and it's all done and that
Like I I have a weird thing. It's very hard
for me to start projects, art things, creative things, yeah,

(14:07):
and leave them in process, right, so like you give
me Yeah, I like I like to be done with
something and for some reason that that gives me great joy.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
I can like mentally, I can understand that I'm not
that way, but I I don't know. I don't know
why that's a funny little tick.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
I mean for saving the trees and all that. But yeah,
it's I'm always like.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
A little it's like little coloring books I do. Yeah,
I'm like adult coloring, Like yeah, like there's some yeah,
there's something good tech. It's like why why.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
You know when things I don't have at the doctor's office,
you know that patient paperwork.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
Weirdly love it.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
This is why we like holding real paper scripts we
don't do iPads were old school.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
Well, I just am a I'm a tactile learner. Some
people like I can't do audio books.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
Some people just are fine, like they do that.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
If someone is just talking and there's nothing visual happening
for me, you lost me about half a sentence, and
I am.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
This is what I want something else. This is why
I need. I needed to take notes. But if even
as a.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
Kid, like if I I had to touch a worksheet,
like worksheets were great because if it was in front
of me, I could better understand what was happening on
the board. But when the teacher was just sort of
writing it on the board and I didn't have it
like a grasp of it in my hand.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
It felt very different. Yeah. Wow, yeah, my weird little
You know.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
I love learning. I'm still about you. Yeah, for almost
forty years and I'm still learning things about you.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
There's so much.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
There's just layers upon layers of weird ticks that I have.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
My knuckle cracking thing.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
You know about that I do because I would do
that and you would absolutely like start shaking.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
The other night the other oh, like.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
I just don't like it. Yeah, no, even the thought
of it. Eh, don't know, My god, you're gonna die.
Your fingers are gonna fall off.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
Stop at Okay, I'll stop, I'll stop.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
It's like it gives me this. It's like nails on
a chalkboard. Literally, I have like a visceral reaction.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
And the other night when we were at the live show,
I think it was either writer or Will was doing
it and I was.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
Like, yeah, I can't think of anything. I was like,
I can't think I'm having a tick. Yeah. So anyway,
don't worry. There's we've still got We've got seasons to
get through.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
You're gonna find out all sorts of things about me,
and so is the audience.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
Yeah, I forgot about them forty more years of.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Learning about Jody's ticks and beyond.

I mean, undercuts everybody else.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
Then we have Bill or When as mister Ferguson. He
did eight episodes of Growing Pains, playing different characters in
each episode, like this even beats Debbie Gregory.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
This is I thought that was a storyline. I thought
you were like, he's like a character that comes back
and every.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
No, it was just different seasons randomly.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
I love Sick on Land. There's a reality, it doesn't matter.

on plane and man in airport. Oh, so hey, you
know this guy is multi talented, right, and a fabulous
actor again, a million guest appearances on all the shows.

(19:47):
And then, perhaps most importantly, we have Whitman Mayo as
Eddie Johnson. What a legend. A fantastic actor. He is
noted for portraying care that are older than his actual age.
He was in his forties when he first played the
sexagenarian Grady on Sandford and Sons. That's the most famous role.

I love. Yeah, he just he this pop. He popularized
the expression goody goobly goop and yeah, it's it's fantastic.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
Stuff and uh, Conan O'Brien did this whole like three
week bit about like where's Grady? Instead of where's Waldo,
it's where's Grady? And it culminated with with Whitman actually
appearing on the show and being like, I haven't gone anywhere.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
I got there, what are you talking about? Oh my god,
it's a whole bit.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
So, yeah, he's he's great. Unfortunately he's no longer with us,
but yeah, I'm so happy that we had him on
the show last certainly not lace. We have Taj Mowray
returning as Teddy. Uh, he's just right. He was the
owner of the little dog Sparky. Okay, we start the show,

(21:07):
no teaser, We go straight to the opening credits.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
Yeah that was me. I was like, oh, oh, we're
just here we go. It makes me a little nervous
because the last time they didn't they skipped the teaser.
It's because we had Jesse and the eight hundred Rippers
and the ten piece brass the music video.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
Yeah, it's kind of like, oh god, what are we
in for now? But it didn't there were no didn't
do no rippers here, So I don't know, I don't
know why we didn't do the teaser, so we start
in the kitchen. Joey and Danny are in the kitchen
when Jesse and Becky come downstairs. Danny tells them they
missed breakfast, and Becky lets out a yawn, saying she
couldn't sleep. She asks, guys, have you ever slept with

(21:46):
a watermelon in your jammis? And Joey shrugs yeah once
and Danny can't help but grin. Jesse gives an empathotic
nod to his wife, saying it was a rough night
for him too. Becky scoffs, reminding him that he was
sleeping like a baby with his blankie.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
Yeah, just I have a I love blanks you have?

Speaker 1 (22:09):
Do you have a like?

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Multiple blanks all over the house. There's there's a blanky company.
I love Minky Cature.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
I'm telling you, uh oh, it's the best, the best.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
One year and gave us blankets I have like that's
where I got one, seven of them in my house.
They're amazing. I give them as gifts anyway. Minky Couture.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
They don't sponsor our podcast, no that they're looking for
a blanky.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
I highly recommend they're great.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
They have some for pets too. So Hall has a
couple of them too.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
I have a travel one that's like a small and
I travel with my own blanky.

Speaker 3 (22:39):
I want to travel one. I have a travel blanky home.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
Okay, Well the more you know, there you go, folks, Yeah,
with your slip on shoes and your minky's in your
brams circus peanuts. Okay, So Jesse he stands up for himself,
it's not a blankie, it's a blanket. When he gets
a few questioning looks, he admits, all right, it's mister blanket.

(23:04):
He turns to his wife and clarifies, I feel bad
for you.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
I wish I.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
Could carry those twins for you. I would like to
know how it feels to be pregnant. Becky smirks, good,
I'll arrange it, and she walks out of the kitchen
with her head held high. Jesse worriedly asks what she
meant by that, and Joey jokes, I don't know, but
medical science is doing some pretty darn amazing things nowadays.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
Very true, Very true.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
Jesse runs after his wife for a follow up, and
then dj comes downstairs. She informs Danny that she'll be
late after school today because she's gonna meet Eddie Johnson,
her adoptive grandparent at the nursing home. Danny commends her,
saying he's very proud of her for volunteering, and DJ
admits she's kind of nervous to meet him because she
doesn't know what to talk about with a seventy five

(23:51):
year old. Joey recommends she asks about his life. He's
been through the Great Depression, two World Wars, and five stood.
He adds ask him how he felt when he saw
Curly use that eye gouge deflector, and then he does
that iconic gesture to Danny and they mimic the three
Stooges to a tee and the audience loves it. DJ

(24:13):
rolls her eyes, but Danny continues to praise her, saying
she's giving him a lot of hope for the next generation.
Right on cue, Jimmy excitedly runs in and announces to
her friend, Hey, age, guess how many corn dogs I
can fit in my mouth? Six eight if I remove
the sticks.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
Oh boy, that is impressive.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
I mean, you know, I.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
Was just like, I'm so glad that they didn't make
you do this on camera, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (24:38):
Like that would be Bob and Dave would not would
do it is.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
One thing, but yeah, oh you'd never that would be Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
That's no that that's what Nickelodeon was doing on their shows.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
That's exactly exactly. But this I was like, huh, fascinating,
Kimmy fascinating Kimmy's Kimmy was proud.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
So she's working about it.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
It depends on the size of the corn dog. Sometimes
there are a little one.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
So many jokes, there's so many jokes we can make it.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
I am not making it as polite as possible. You
can be very good, Jodie Sweeten. Yep, So Danny's face falls. Well,
then again, hope might be too strong a word, and
dj laughs.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Before they exit the kitchen. In the backyard, Michelle and
Stephanie are trying to teach Comet a trick. Steph wants
him to jump over Michelle, but Michelle backs out at
the last minute. And you're wearing this adorable floral patterned.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
Lot.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
Oh. I thought it was so cute. It's cute, it's cute,
and it is it's very patterny. There was like a
lot of color.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Yeah, yeah, but oh it was matching magic and the
ballet flats because yes, which have made a comeback, you know,
the last year, because the nineties are back. But yeah,
it was matching ballet flats and everything.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
I loved it. And I can see the the Jodie
Sweeten style shining through to Stephanie Tanner or maybe Janie
just yeah, the Janice Sweeten style. Yes, I should clarify,
she was still dressing you. Uh okay, So she questions
her big sister, why can't Comet jump over you? And
steph explains, because I'm the trainer and you're the thing

(26:21):
he jumps over. Michelle nods, okay, just asking, and she
gets back on the ground to participate in the trick.
But when Stephanie commands him to do the trick, Comet
runs up to Michelle and gently places his sweet little
head on her instead. Such a good boy joke. It
was such a good boy. DJ and Kimmy are watching them,

(26:42):
and Kimmy starts to brag about her dog Coco, who
apparently does tricks too, but DJ outs her drinking water
out of the toilet is not a trick. Kimmy protests,
it is when she does it with a straw. She
turns to stuff and boasts Coco is the smartest dog
on the block.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
If she can use a straw, she wins.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Stephanie takes the bait and suggests they invite every dog
on the block to come over after school and do
their best trick. That way they can decide who is
the smartest.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
I like this idea. Just invite all the dogs to
your backyard.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Oh yeah, this would be so fun. It's a day
of dogs. Kimmy is up for this challenge. She boasts
that Coco is way smarter than Comet, and Stephanie retorts, Kimmy,
you're not even smarter than Commet.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Zing's a good zinger. That was a little button on
the end of that scene.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
That is a great button. And our friendmanship continues.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
Ah yes.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Next, we're in the Golden Gate nursing home where two
older gentlemen are playing gin. One of them lays his
cards down and says, that's twenty four thousand dollars that
you owe me. They starts. They start talking smack to
one another, and the man that lost the game stands
up and storms away. Then a nurse walks in with
the telling Eddie the man that just won that he

(28:03):
has a visitor DJ excitedly greets him and tells him
why she's there. Eddie check checks his watch and tells
her that he has a little time before Love Connection starts,
so he waves her over to an open chair and
declares start visiting Love Connection.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
When he brought that up, I was like, I haven't
thought about that show in years. Oh yeah, not Chuck
Chuck Woolery, wasn't it? Yeah, Chuck Glory stupid sounds right,
Chuck Woolery and Love Connection.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
I don't know. Yes, you and your trivia, that's where
you that's where you shine. So DJ sits down and
there's this moment of awkward silence and nervous smiles are
exchanged between the two of them. Finally DJ breaks the ice,
saying so Eddie, and he responds so DJ. She inquires,

(28:51):
what was the Great Depression?

Speaker 3 (28:52):
Like great opener? What an opening?

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (28:56):
How are the how are those years?

Speaker 1 (28:58):
The words complete?

Speaker 3 (28:59):
Economic out?

Speaker 2 (29:00):
And you were like nobody had a job and you
I mean, but also fascinating in a legitimate question.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
That's true, it's historically, it's a great question.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
Just I would ask that question maybe like the third
question though, right.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Don't open don't open with that so Eddie has a
grim expression on his face, and he asks how does
it sound? And DJ answers depressing and he laughs. Good answer.
DJ laughs and Eddie notices her smile. He says that
his daughter Gloria, who lives in Florida, has a smile

(29:36):
just like hers. DJ perks up at the news, and
Eddie begins to tell her, yeah, I haven't seen her since,
and he trails off and decides to change the subject.
He lightheartedly asks, wait, what are we doing here? We're
supposed to be having fun. He asks if she's played
bumper pool and she says no, which I've never heard

(29:56):
of bumper pool.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
You've never heard of bumper pool?

Speaker 1 (29:59):
No, I mean I've heard of a pool, but I didn't
know bumper He didn't know.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Yeah, it's like on a like a pentagonal shaped table.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
A lot of times you'll see like the like card
tables that are the end you take the top off
so you can play poker, you flip it over play
another game. But the like the depth of it is
like a little bumper pool table.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
It's not the rectangular longer pool table.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
No, no, no, it'll yeah, there's a it's a totally
different game.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
There's like bumpers sort of in a thing, and I
mean it's still to put it into a pocket.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
But yeah, yeah, oh that's that's very cool. Yep, first
I've heard of it. So Eddie lies and says that
he hasn't played bumper pool either, and when she turns
her back to grab a Q, he pulls out his
own stick and grins, we'll learn together. Back in the kitchen,
Steph is still trying to teach Comet his new trick.

(30:55):
She double checks that both Comet and Michelle know their roles,
and Comet barks in understanding, while Michelle rolls her eyes
and says, duh.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
It does very popular, and it's always Mary Kate that
does it.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
It is he didn't notice that.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
I think it's I think maybe one time, but most
of the time, I'm like, oh it's Mary Kate.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
Yeah yeah, yeah. She gave good dush, she gave good sass, yeah,
good sas. And I'm torn. I mean, this was really
funny the first time, but now it's becoming a recurring
bit because she got such a big laugh the first
time she did this, and I'm like a little braddy.
I don't know, I don't love I don't love Michelle.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
Michelle, she's less of a tyrant than she was in
like season three. Yeah, it's go down a little bit,
Actually it does.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Really Sure, she's calm down, but the SaaS like the
teenage sass.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
She's a demanding she's a demanding uh child therapist. And
by a child therapist, I mean an actual child as
a therapist.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
As a therapist, right right, So we'll allow it this time. Yeah.
So steph gives command and Commet executes it perfectly. The
audience gives him a rowdy round of applause, and Joey
praises him in his Scooby Doo voice. Stephanie gives both
Commet and Michelle a treat, but accidentally gives Michelle a
liver snap and Comet the cookie. Michelle groans, what a ripoff?

(32:18):
Before they exit the kitchen.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
She'll find cookies somewhere. O, yeah, rip that kitchen apart.
She's gotta get her got sugar fixed.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
The liver doesn't have enough sugar in it.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
Oh god, no, no, no, no, no, gotta go find
a cookie somewhere.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
So then Becky walks downstairs. She's encouraging Jesse to come
down as well. Reminding him that he's the one who
wanted to know what it's like to be pregnant. Jesse
finally appears, wearing a prosthetic belly and a T shirt
that says fun in the oven so great, and it
didn't but it looked I wonder, oh we see later

(32:55):
what he used. But it wasn't like the one that
Laurie was wearing, because that looked a lot more often
like a belly. It almost looks like they just shoved pillows.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Or well, that's one of the ones that they use,
but it, yeah, it's lumpier. You got to kind of
smooth it out and like you can't wear a like
if you notice, Lori's shirts are always.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Kind kind of big and.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yeah, float creepy because those things do tend to look
a little bit like a pillow. Nowadays they make like
latex realistic looking ones that you know, it's smooth, looks
like skins, got a belly button whatever, totally, But yeah,
back then they were still I think a lot of
them were, especially for what we were using for was
I think the pillow we won, So it just was
poor Laurie had to wear a tent every week.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
Oh I know, every week. The fact the maturity fashion
has definitely improved since nineteen ninety one. And it was
funny scene. You could tell it was funny with Jesse
having the lumpy belly, like it just right.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
And I think that was also part of it too.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
It's like, if that one looks so fake, the one
that's fake that she's wearing.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
Will look real.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
Yeah. Yeah, they even have some where you have they
have boot like fake pregnancy boots too, like Beatles wear
that could of those lovely doubldies. Uh So, Joey cracks
up as the audience cheers for a pregnant Jesse. Joey's
laughter continues despite Jesse glaring at him. Once Jesse points

(34:14):
a finger in his face, Joey tries to keep his composure.
He begins to walk out of the room and starts
to laugh again, so Joey chases him out, but Jesse
doesn't get far. He winces while holding his back because
his belly is too heavy.

Speaker 3 (34:28):
Mm hmmm mm hmmm. All right.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
He decides that he is not wearing this prosthetic belly anymore,
but Becky won't allow it. She simply wonders if he
isn't man enough to be pregnant. This obviously hits a
sore spot for Jesse, and he scoffs, I'm as much
of a man as you are, and then he stares
off into the distance. Realizing what he just said. Becky
decides to make a bet with him, considering they've been

(34:53):
arguing about wallpaper choices for the nursery. The bet is,
if he can wear the pad for one day, he
can put his choice of wallpaper on the wall, which
of course is Elvis. But if Becky wins, she gets
to put up her choice, which is fun. At the circus,
she challenges her husband, saying, you can talk the talk,

(35:14):
but can you walk the walk? Then she walks away
with a confident hand on her hip, and Jesse follows
right behind, imitating her walk.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
Her little pregnancy waddle. I love it.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
This is a fun little bee storyline.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
Is it fun? Yeah? This was a cute one. I
like it.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
I guess this was a really good cute concept, well executed. Yeah,
I thought it was great. Back at the nursing home,
DJ is absolutely smoking Eddie in bumper Pool, winning twenty
four thousand dollars from him.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (35:43):
She laughs and tells him that she has to leave
because she has to judge Stephanie's dog show, but she'll
see him next week. Eddie perks up, saying a dog
show would make his day, so DJ invites him to
come along, but first she asks if he needs permission
to leave the nursing home. Eddie tries to play it cool,
asking you think I got to ask to get out

(36:03):
of this door. I've done whatever I want all my life,
except those forty one years I was married. Then a
nurse walks by, and Eddie gives her a nervous little
wave before rushing over to tell his friend that he's
stepping out. But his friend is worried for him. He
reminds Eddie that DJ isn't allowed to take him out.
He reminds Eddie that DJ isn't allowed to take him

(36:25):
out there, out of there, not to mention Eddie could
have one of his spells while he's out. Eddie insists
that he doesn't have to worry about that, and gives
his friend a candy bar to hold on to, despite
the man not being allowed to eat candy. After planting
this evidence, Eddie slyly walks up to the nurse and
rats his friend out for having candy. This distracts the

(36:46):
nurse long enough for Eddie to leave with DJ arm
in arm oh boy, making a little jail break there.
He's like, I'm out, I'm out.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
Yeah, but I mean it is hard to you know,
he says, like I've done what I wanted all my life,
Like that is always the hard thing as you know,
you age, like suddenly, yeah, suddenly can't drive, or you
can't walk, or you can't you know, the things that
you used to just be able to do, or if
you're yeah, if you're in a nursing home facility or
whatever they ruled.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
Yeah, yeah, you don't have as much freedom anymore. And
DJ wouldn't know any of this, like she wouldn't rules.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Okay, sure you want a dog show. I got a
dog show in my backyard.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Yep. He's just trusting her elders and I don't.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
And apparently it's close enough that you could walk. Or
maybe she rode the bus. Maybe they rode the best.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
Oh yeah, she can't drive, so yeah, maybe they rode
the bus together. So in the living room, Eddie and
DJ entered the house while Jesse simultaneously walks in with
his fake baby bump. Eddie looks at him wide eyed, admitting,
I got to get out more often.

Speaker 3 (37:52):
Just the best reading.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
It was hilarious, It really was. It was just perfect,
perfectly timed. Jesse explains the situation him and complains about
his back and his swollen ankles and the fact that
he's retaining water. Then Joey walks in wearing his Ranger
Joe uniform. He starts laughing as soon as he sees
pregnant Jesse, and then he approaches dj. She introduces Eddie

(38:15):
and Joey, and Eddie immediately notes his uniform. He asks
what service Joey's in, and Joey plowed, and Joey proudly
clarifies that he's Ranger Joe of the Enchanted Forest. Eddie
gives him a hesitant nod before Joey leads them to
the backyard for the dog show.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
You know, he's all of us in that. He's like,
what is happening? Oh, Eddie?

Speaker 1 (38:38):
Yeah, Eddie's all of us is like wondering.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
It's kind of set him off, and he got compute,
you know what I mean. He's like, we got an
enchanted forest.

Speaker 1 (38:48):
Man.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
I guess there's a pregnant there's a pregnant belly man. Right,
I don't really know this girl.

Speaker 3 (38:53):
I'm in a house. We just were on the bus.
You know.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
There's a lot going on right right, like that process
and and.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
He hasn't even gotten to the backyard yet that shape
shifts and.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
Yeah, yeah, he hasn't even Yeah, he hasn't seen the
shape shifting back yet.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
That's gonna blow his mind. Yeah, that's Eddie.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
Eddie is already.

Speaker 3 (39:11):
He wasn't. He wasn't set up for success in this situation.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
It's he really was not, so Eddie, DJ and Joey
make their way to the backyard through the kitchen, and
DJ tells Eddie that he can help judge this dog show.
All of a sudden, Eddie stops dead in his tracks
and looks confused. DJ asks if he's coming, and Eddie
gives her a nod. Then he looks at DJ and

(39:34):
mistakes her for his daughter, Gloria. He tells her that
she's going to be late for school. DJ gives him
a puzzled look, asking what are you talking about, and
Eddie responds, huh. DJ reminds him you just called me Gloria,
and I'm DJ. Eddie snaps out of it and tries
to brush off the spell. Hey, I know who you are.

(39:56):
We got to get to that dog show, and walks
toward the backyard, obviously confused, but she continues behind him. Nonetheless,
it's hard to watch.

Speaker 3 (40:06):
Yeah, yeah, if in that moment you were like, oh,
oh no, he's not this is it? Do you?

Speaker 2 (40:12):
I I will say though, watching it, I felt like
DJ was kind of angry, like it was a you
know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
I was like, it didn't like it felt like she
was insulted, and I just didn't.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
I was like, I don't feel like DJ would have
if you know what I mean, if she's of the
mind and heart to go volunteer at the nursing home,
I feel like she.

Speaker 1 (40:35):
Wouldn't be as I don't know.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
She just felt like what are you talking about?

Speaker 2 (40:39):
And I was like, oh, I guess it was right,
you know, it just felt like it came off a
little angry.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
I was like, oh it did.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
Yeah, you're right, Just yeah, it did come off a
little angry. But I I actually agreed with that reading
okay with that line, because when I was a teenager
and I was in this episode, I I was too
kind of just like get it. To get like, I
didn't understand altire's or dementia, and so I was kind
of like, why does he keep calling a gloria? Like,
just get it together?

Speaker 3 (41:06):
What's wrong?

Speaker 1 (41:06):
Like, what's wrong with you? Is like insensitively as a teenager, Yeah,
and that.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
Was kind of I was like, Well, as a teenager,
teenagers are like, it's wrong with you.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
You just don't have the sympathy or the empathy to
care about.

Speaker 3 (41:19):
Oh that's something must be wrong, right, They're like.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
Yeah, So I kind of agreed with that. Reading a
little jar It was a little jarring because she is
this compassionate person who is volunteering at a retirement home. Yeah,
but then she's annoyed it. But I think she just
doesn't understand what dementia is and that that obviously comes later.
So yeah, it's it's a tricky balance, very tricky balance.

(41:42):
In the living room, Jesse is struggling to get out
of the chair when Danny walks in. He proudly announces
that he picked out the first prize for the dog show,
and it's a pooper scooper, what a prize?

Speaker 3 (41:55):
Right?

Speaker 1 (41:55):
I mean, what's the dog?

Speaker 3 (41:57):
Get right?

Speaker 1 (41:59):
You know?

Speaker 3 (41:59):
The dog don't true? Dog can't use the pooper scooper
right right now.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
We stand up and despite with those signs, say that
when you walk around your neighborhood, you see the little
dog signs with like their you know, no they can't.

Speaker 3 (42:11):
Do it, No they can't.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
No, the dog needs there should.

Speaker 3 (42:14):
Have been a pooer and a like a bone and
a big bone.

Speaker 1 (42:18):
I agree, yep. So Danny asks Jesse how his bet
with Becky is going, and Jesse admits that his back
is killing him, so he's going to take off the
bump for just a few minutes. Danny points out that
this would be cheating. Jesse scowls, don't be such a

(42:41):
goody goody. I'm doing this for the guys around the
country who shoot off their mouths and then have to
suffer for it. He tells Danny to stand watched by
the kitchen door and he will man the front door.
Then he happily takes the bump off of his stomach,
saying he doesn't care that men are cheated out of
experience the miracle of birth. Unbeknownst to him, Becky walks

(43:04):
in from the hallway and she is witnessing all of this.
She quietly sneaks up behind him and begins to massage
his neck and his shoulders and his back. Because of
his insistent complaining, he suspects that Danny is the one
doing this, so he doesn't second guess anything until Danny

(43:24):
mentions that he's still watching the kitchen door. Jesse slowly
turns around and finds Becky and quickly hops up, grabbing
the fake belly that was lying on the floor. He
sarcastically thanks Danny for all of his help, but Danny
defends himself. She didn't come through his door.

Speaker 3 (43:41):
A lot of entrances to this room.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
There's a lot of doors in this whole house. So
Becky boasts about winning the bet and getting to put
up her fun at the circus wallpaper. She tells him
that nursery is going to be full of clowns, all laughing.

Speaker 3 (43:58):
At you and causing our children and to be terrified
of clowns for the rest.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
Of their life. What like, no, just no, just say
no to the clowns, like circus tents. Fine animals fine.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
But just the really the animals are fine. See I'm
the clowns are I'll take the clouds. No animal, I
don't need animals in my circuits.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
Well, I'm just talking about wallpaper.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
Wallpaper, yeah yeah, yeah, give you the balancing a.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
Thing, Yeah, that'd be cute, but no giant creepy clowns
on the walls. But no, I do agree with you
about for services, like, let's stop torturing the animals people.

Speaker 3 (44:28):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (44:28):
Anyways, So, surprisingly, Jesse accepts his defeat and praises Becky
for carrying the twins. She insists it's worth it and
it's the most wonderful experience of her life. He kisses her,
calling her incredible, and the crowd oohs.

Speaker 3 (44:46):
I know this was it was very cute. I was like, okay,
you wrap up.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
Jesse like caught on right away and gave her a compliment.
I'm like this and now this is a this is
a healthy interaction. Yeah job, yeah, like he can do it.
He can.

Speaker 3 (45:02):
He was supportive and had admiration for her and loved her.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
Yet little was this was a satisfying ending to this
best storyline. So then Jesse suggests a total body massage
and Becky tells him that sounds like heaven, and he
jokingly responds, good because I could really use one. I
don't know was he joking or was he jokingly?

Speaker 3 (45:27):
Response was like, was he joking?

Speaker 1 (45:28):
I don't know?

Speaker 3 (45:29):
This is Jesse we're talking about here. Yeah, yeah, I definitely.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
I definitely had an X like that where be like, oh,
I'm like you're breaking, like, oh my god, everything hurts,
and they're like, yeah, can you wrap my feet?

Speaker 3 (45:37):
And I was like yours?

Speaker 1 (45:41):
Yeah, it's just oh boy. So in the backyard, the
dog show is in session.

Speaker 3 (45:48):
Here we go, Here we go.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
I am so here for this scene. First we see
a dog standing on its hind legs and the crowd
cheers at the impressive talent.

Speaker 3 (45:58):
Yeah, I was probably just dogs everywhere.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
Yeah, I can't even imagine. I can't bet him. You
just got to hug him and cut along. But they're working,
you can't touch him. Yeah. Then Stephanie turns to Michelle
and Comet, reminding them if they win, there will be
something special in each of their bowls. Michelle warns it
better not be dog food. She's still looking for that

(46:24):
cookie like she wants.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
She's like, look, I haven't had my sugar figs for
the day. I don't know what you people are thinking.
I neededly.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
Then Joey announces the next dog Sparky. Teddy is Sparky's owner.
I love that, and he thanks Ranger Joe for the introduction.
Teddy tells the crowd that Sparky will now do his
funny walk, and the dog proceeds to drag himself across
the grass on his belly. It's so cute, like.

Speaker 3 (46:51):
The army crawl of a dog.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
Yeah, so like I love when dogs just lay like
that on the cold tie because they're just cooling their bill. Yeah,
he actually did like a walk. It was very so cute.
I just love that little Sparky. Everybody cheers, and DJ
and Eddie admit that they could that could be tough
to beat, and Stephanie wonders why Kimmy didn't show up

(47:13):
with Coco. Michelle explains because her dog is a chicken.
Michelle realizes she made a funny joke and proceeds to
laugh at herself. Then Joey announces the last contestant, the
Amazing Comet, Michelle adds, and the amazing thing he jumps over.
Stephanie tells everyone about comets trick, but just as they're

(47:35):
about to start, Kimmy walks in with Coco, the standard poodle.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
Right and the standard poodle, trimmed and groomed as a poodle.

Speaker 3 (47:47):
Like a proper poodle.

Speaker 1 (47:48):
Yeah. When I say, I screamed, I didn't remember that
Coco was a poodle.

Speaker 3 (47:53):
Yeah, like I love poodle. That's my favorite. Creed really like,
look like your little Mini. But I didn't know that
likes gal.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
I want one of each toy Mini, Standard, and I
want one in each color to I just I want
just a hole, just all the branch of poodles.

Speaker 3 (48:11):
Okay, now now I learned something about you.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
Oh yes, yes, it's not just Holly. Okay, I know that.
It's like dogs.

Speaker 2 (48:21):
I'm out and about and I see anything with a
poodle on it.

Speaker 1 (48:25):
It's they're just they're so smart of oil and sweet
and very very smart. So it makes sense. Why you
know Coco is here for the dogs.

Speaker 3 (48:35):
She's like, yeah, yea, I'm just going to mess around.
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (48:37):
Yeah, she is so ready. But yeah, I am just
ecstatic and I can't believe. Yeah, I didn't remember.

Speaker 3 (48:43):
I remember the Ostrich. I did not remember Coco the dog.
Same same.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
They should have They should have brought Cocoa back for
for more episodes. Uh so where a Yeah, Kimy walks
in with Coco and she says, sorry, I'm late, but
we got to do this fast. I've got to get
Coco back in my mother's lap before she wakes up.
Oh missus gibbler. Stephanie commands Comment to do his trick,
but he stays completely still. Instead, he's staring at Coco

(49:12):
while dreamy music plays in the background. I remember this,
the love Connection. Yeah, we did this in Fuller too,
didn't this was a I think we did it in Fuller. Yeah, yeah,
Fuller maybe that's what I'm remembering.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
No, but I do remember it, like I remember this,
and I just because it was like, wait, can the
dog looked directly down the lens? You're like no, the
dog is looking at the trainer, like that's it. The
dog is looking at the street, and like, what do
I do?

Speaker 1 (49:38):
Right? The dog cares about nothing but the trainer.

Speaker 3 (49:40):
Yeah, it's so great. So Stephanie tries to command Commet
to do his trick once again, but he's not listening,
so she decides to demonstrate the jump and Danny applauds
her for it. Michelle looks up at her sister and wines,
I did my job. Where's my cookie?

Speaker 1 (50:00):
Kimmy's ignoring all of this and decides it's her time
to shine. She announces that Coco will be accompanying her
as she sings Polly Wally Doodle all the day.

Speaker 3 (50:10):
I was so excited that we were going to see this.
I didn't know what was going to happen, but I
was God, I can't wait for this. I thought a
harmonica was gonna get brought out. Yeah, I thought it was.

Speaker 1 (50:20):
I can only imagine what they had planned. And I also,
of course, hated singing this song, because who unless you're
a singer who liked singing on camera in front of
millions of people. So but whatever, I did it. So
Kimmy starts off the song and then hands it off
to the dog take it away, Coco, but Comet walks
up to Coco and at the same time at the
same time, so she ignores Kimmy's request entirely. DJ realizes

(50:44):
that Coco and Comet are in love, and Kimmy gets
extremely excited. If the dogs get married, that would make
them in laws.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
Or if I marry your brother in twenty years and
you carry.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
My baby as a surrogate, then we be.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
In law in law. See we were manifesting it. We're
manifesting it ninety one.

Speaker 3 (51:07):
Yeah, like, come on, we were just kind of a
critical scene here for the trajectory of everything everything.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
Danny immediately crouches down to commet and pleads think about this. Sure,
she's all fluffed up and groomed now, but how is
she gonna look in the morning. The jan Eddie decide
it's time to announce the winner. It's Sparky and his
funny walk. Danny gives Teddy his prize, and the kid
rightfully complains a poopa scoopa Hown'd you ever heard of

(51:38):
a trophy? Right? Kids want the trophies like they are
the little inscribed trophy. Yeah, even a plastic one. Just then,
the nurse from Eddie's retirement home walks in through the
backyard from from the Gibbler house.

Speaker 3 (51:53):
She went the part to get to the house. Yeah, yeah,
it's just I don't.

Speaker 1 (51:59):
Know where pople are supposed to come in from. But yeah,
it looks like she walked right over from the Gibbler backyard.

Speaker 3 (52:05):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
So she's looking for Eddie, and as soon as Eddie
sees her, he runs into the house to hide before
she can spot him. Nurse Thomas tells DJ that Eddie
wasn't allowed to leave the home unless he was signed
out by a family member. DJ admits she didn't know that,
and Nurse Thomas asks where he is. DJ assures her
that he was here a minute ago. She decides to

(52:28):
go look for him in the house. Danny asks Nurse
Thomas if Eddie is okay, and she solemnly says, I'm
afraid not so. Danny leads her inside as well, heavy
heavy stuff. Here. In DJ's room, DJ finds Eddie and
he compliments Gloria on how nice and clean it is.

(52:51):
DJ questions, Gloria, you're doing it again. Eddie doesn't snap
out of it this time. He insists, now you be
nice or I'm not going to let you watch howdy dooty.
DJ responds, howdy duty that was on before I was born, Eddie,
why are you doing this? And then Eddie snaps out
of it and asks doing what? DJ explains what just happened,

(53:14):
and Eddie tries to brush it off, but DJ tells
him that a nurse is here looking for him. She
asks why he lied about being able to leave the
nursing home. Eddie asks, what's the big deal, but DJ
points out that it is a big deal to leave
without permission. Eddie still doesn't take her seriously, saying you
worry too much. Everything's fine, but DJ tells him it's

(53:38):
not fine. She wants to be Eddie's friend, but friends
tell each other the truth, so Eddie breaks the news.
Most of the time he's fine, but sometimes his mind
drifts off, but he always finds his way back. So really, yes,
that was a sweet and succinct way to describe it
for a teenager who doesn't understand any of this, that

(54:01):
was a really gentle way of explaining that. DJ asks
are you gonna be all right? And Eddie boasts, come on,
Eddie Johnson's a fighter. Then Danny walks in with Nurse Thomas.
She scolds him, telling him this is not good. Eddie
holds up his hands and jokingly says, don't shoot. I'll
go peacefully. Then he confronts DJ, apologizing for causing her trouble.

(54:26):
He says he'll understand if DJ doesn't want to come
visit him anymore, but he admits that this has been
one of the best days he's had in a long time,
and DJ can't help but smile. She says she had
a great time too.

Speaker 3 (54:39):
He got to see a dog show.

Speaker 1 (54:41):
I it was a great, great, little, great field trip
for him. Eddie walks out the door with Nurse Thomas
and DJ says goodbye. After they leave, DJ asks Danny
why Eddie kept forgetting who she is. Danny explains that
Eddie is showing early sign early signs of all Timer's disease.

(55:01):
DJ worries. DJ worriedly asks if he's going to get better,
but Danny truthfully admits that he's only going to get worse.
He tells her there isn't a cure yet, so she
asks what is she supposed to do? She wonders if
she's supposed to keep visiting him despite knowing that he'll
continue to get worse and worse. Danny knows it isn't

(55:23):
an easy thing to do, and DJ shakes her head
in frustration, wondering why she ever became a volunteer. Danny
asks why did you? And she says, because I wanted
to help people, and Danny assures her that what she
did for Eddie was a good thing. In fact, he
says she can do a lot for him by brightening
his day and giving him something to look forward to.

(55:46):
Very true, Such good advice. Danny strikes again with the
excellent fatherly advice. DJ stands up and declares, I'll be
right back. Eddie is enthusiastically telling Thomas in the living
room that they've got to start taking field trips to
this house considering all the wacky things he sought today.

Speaker 3 (56:06):
For real, the pregnant man. We will believe you there's
some as you will not believe what is going on
in this house. Truly she is.

Speaker 1 (56:15):
She'd be like, oh there he goes again.

Speaker 2 (56:17):
Yeah, yeah, Oh no, he's gonna be like, no, no, no, no,
there was a horse in this living room.

Speaker 3 (56:22):
Yes, you have no idea what these people are capable of. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:25):
So before they leave, DJ runs downstairs and asks Eddie
if he would like to stay for dinner. Danny chimes in,
saying that they'd like to have them both. Nurse Thomas
is understandably hesitant, saying she needs to get back to work,
but she says that Eddie can stay if he'd like.
Eddie says he couldn't impose, but asks, just out of curiosity,

(56:47):
what they're having for dinner. Danny tells him lasagna and
Eddie immediately changes his mind, saying he'll impose for lasagna.
DJ asks, will you help me set the table, and
Eddie grins, I would be delighted. They link arms and
walk into the kitchen together and that's our show.

Speaker 3 (57:06):
Oh this was yeah, I mean, a very sweet episode
and something that I'm sure a lot of families who
Watchful House are dealing with, you know, in either you know,
a parrot or a grandparent. Yeah. Yeah, and it is
confusing for kids.

Speaker 1 (57:25):
Oh totally. My My paternal grandmother died from Alzheimer's, but
I was only one year old, so I don't remember her.
But my brothers were older, and so they remember, you know,
being confused and not understanding it and being frustrated too,
like it. It is frustrating, though you understand why it's frustrating,
but yeah, when they don't know who you are and

(57:47):
can't remember your name, it's it's really it's really hard. Yeah,
debilitating disease, and it's a it's a family disease too.

Speaker 3 (57:55):
It affects everybody, affects in the family.

Speaker 2 (57:58):
Yeah, and we you know, did such a great job
of sort of explaining this in a way that young
people would understand. There's a it's a great book series
that I've read called The Thursday Murder Club, and it's
a really great series of books. But it's about these
like octogenarians in a nursing home in England who wind
up solving murders. One of them is like an x

(58:19):
I six agent and the other ones is a psychiatrist.

Speaker 3 (58:21):
It's a very interesting thing.

Speaker 2 (58:23):
But one of the stories is that the one of
the women, her husband, who was a brilliant man and
all this stuff, is slowly slipping away to dementia and
like how to deal with it and how to and
it's just a it's a beautiful way that they talked
about it and that they everyone sort of dealt with it, yeah,

(58:44):
you know, and just just sort of go along and
you m hmmm, you know, because the confusion and the
that can be so scary that it's easier to just
sort of.

Speaker 3 (58:56):
Nod and agree.

Speaker 1 (58:58):
Yeah. So there's there's a I did a really beautiful
TV movie this might have been pre Full House. It's
called Do You Remember Love? With Joanne word Ward and
Richard Klein, and she's the she's the one with Alzheimer's
and so you through the movie you see it progress,

(59:20):
and you see the frustration that her husband has, just
being frustrated with not being able to help, not knowing
what to do for her. I wasn't in those heavy
scenes because I was the granddaughter who she forgot about.
And the other Yeah, and that my sister was Judith
Barci another or story. I know. This is just a
heartbreaking experience. Yeah, that was one of the last movies

(59:42):
she worked on before she passed. But anyways, not to
get off topic, Yeah, to anybody out there who's wanting
to watch a really well done movie, I don't know
how you'd see it, maybe maybe YouTube. It's called Do
You Remember Love? And it's it's just a beautiful, beautiful movie,
and it's very visceral, like you can really feel feel
these emotions, these heavy emotions that people go through. So yeah, no,

(01:00:05):
this full House did great like this for only having
twenty two minutes to deal with such a heavy topic
like this. Yeah, they didn't go super deep, but you
can't when it's a you chid. It's only twenty two minutes,
So they did very well. Like you said, explaining it
to people to young kids, Yeah, don't.

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
Have any experienced, just a sort of a basic understanding
like this is what this is, and this is you know,
it's not not you, it's not you know, nothing like that.
But no, they did a great job.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
And yeah, and also I mean having Whitman Mayo as
Eddie like that was just really Like.

Speaker 3 (01:00:37):
When I saw Papa, was like, oh my god, I
forgot he was on the show.

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
Like, yeah, that was you know again, at the time,
I was like, I have no idea who you are.

Speaker 3 (01:00:45):
Now I'm like, oh my god, Sanford Send like a
classic television.

Speaker 1 (01:00:48):
You know, classic television. Such a good actor.

Speaker 3 (01:00:52):
Yeah, such a great actor. I loved.

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
There were several moments when I was like, oh, I
just liked a choice that he made to say a
line in a certain way or emphasize a certain word
or do you know. I was like, oh, I love
watching actors like that where you're like, oh, that's yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:01:08):
I wouldn't have thought to inflect it that way or
to do that. You're like, oh, it made it more interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:01:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:01:13):
It was just a great actor.

Speaker 1 (01:01:14):
It's really really great to watch. Totally agree. Yeah, I
enjoyed his performance so much, and I wish he was
still alive for no many for so many reasons, but
also I wish we could interview am I doing that episode. Yeah,
I would have loved powerful episodes.

Speaker 3 (01:01:29):
I would have loved that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
Well, this was a great episode and another, you know,
very very special episode.

Speaker 3 (01:01:35):
Maybe that's why there was no teaser.

Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
Maybe they kind of wanted to get right into, like,
not waste time on a superfluous like little Michelle bit,
but get into the meat of the story.

Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
And give it more of a moment.

Speaker 1 (01:01:46):
Maybe that totally makes sense. Yeah, that explains it. That
explained it. Say look at me figuring it, Uh, do
you have any everywhere you looks? I think I have one.

Speaker 3 (01:01:54):
I didn't have any?

Speaker 1 (01:01:55):
Okay, I think the first girl in the Dog Show
with the on the behind, Like, was that.

Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
Keith Richmond's nod? That's Hillary?

Speaker 1 (01:02:05):
That was Hillary Hilly's wick. Okay. I was just like, is.

Speaker 3 (01:02:09):
That Alison Richmond?

Speaker 1 (01:02:11):
She wasn't long.

Speaker 2 (01:02:13):
Yeah, she was in other episodes, but no, that was
Hillary's wick because it was because Joel was directing.

Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
So yeah, that totally makes sense. Joel's directing, He's like,
let me put my daughter in here, hey first the
first you know, but no, that was yeah, that was
indeed Hillary. Oh that's so cool. Random random side note
before we wrap up. I ran into a relative of Reith,
Keith Richmond just the other night when I was at

(01:02:40):
an event.

Speaker 3 (01:02:41):

led such an eclectic life, like he's working in a
mortuary now. He doesn't do any stage managing or a
d like. Yeah, he's just a fascinating person. Yes, I
don't know why I didn't think that he would want
to come on the podcast.

Speaker 3 (01:03:14):
I don't know why.

Speaker 1 (01:03:15):
Yeah, I don't know why.

Speaker 3 (01:03:16):

Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
And Dave exactly, Well, that's another great episode.

Speaker 3 (01:03:40):
So glad we got to talk about this one.

Speaker 2 (01:03:43):
