Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Hey, Fana Ritos. Welcome back to an all new episode
of How Rude Tanner Ritos. I'm Andrea Barber, and today
I have a very special guest co hosting with me.
It's Candace Cameron Burray. Candace is filling in for Jody
while she's out of the country, and I couldn't be
more thrilled to have my TV bff recapping this episode

(00:39):
with me today.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Welcome Candace.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Thank you. I'm so happy to be back on Yeah. Yeah,
I can't wait to recap this episode. I'm so glad
you were available. You're willing like this was.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
I'm thrilled. I'm so thrilled to get to do.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
This with yours.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Oh, thank you.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, thanks for asking me. I was super happy and
even watching this episode.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
I haven't watched Full House in so long.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Oh yeah, so many years. I mean probably at least
ten years, if not more than that. Oh my gosh,
probably longer. But yeah, I've watched more Fuller House episodes.
But it was wild. I was like, I'm watching the episode,
I'm laughing out loud, and then I was like, oh, now,
I like I understand why this show's never been off

(01:27):
the air in thirty five years. I'm like, this is
so sweet, it's so.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Cute, like all the things it was wild that's how
that's the same thing I'm feeling too.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
I'm just like, oh, now I get it.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Like the show has stay in power first of all,
Like it has aged very very well. These lessons are
so timeless, the characters are so lovable, and yeah, I
have such a greater appreciation for Full Outs now then
I know when we were on.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
It, because exactly it was.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Just like a fun or whatever when we were kids,
and yeah, it's yeah, it's way more meaningful now.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Yeah, exactly, And looking watching an episode and we're in
season three right now, so this is what.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Nineteen ninety ninety, nineteen ninety.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
That's so long ago, and you watched this episode and
realized that the lesson that's learned in this one has
stood the test of time. I'm like, these are the
exact same things that happened to me as a parent,
and the same thing that any young parent that I
know now that has young kids, they're dealing with the
same thing. Like there's just some lessons that are timeless

(02:40):
and will never change. And that's what all the lessons
were about on Full house. Yeah, yeah, why I didn't
realize that in the moments, like dang, I mean we
were teens, I know, so we didn't get it, and
now we get it.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
And it's even more amazing when you think that is well,
at least the first sea and there weren't many writers
with kids, like Jeff never had kids, and right, you
know a lot of them never had kids until Mark
and Dennis came on and they had kids, and so
I yeah, Mark what We interviewed Mark a couple of
weeks ago and he was telling us how you know,
he and Demnis were the one of the only writers

(03:17):
with kids, so they were able to provide a lot
crazy and yeah that's good.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, but wild when you think about it.
I know, right, yes, one of the most classic iconic
family symptoms. But the writers didn't have kids. Crazy really
it's crazy, No.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
I think they Jeff definitely did good with hiring more
writers that had experience with parenting.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
That was a good call.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Well, I'm so excited that I get to see you again.
I've seen you so much, like considering we went like
a year without seeing each other.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
I know, and now it made me mad. I was
like this cannot happen again. So I was like, we're
making a date, We're going out, We're putting another date
on the calendar. And now, yeah we've seen each other
three or four times, and.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah we saw each other Nineties Con. Nineties Con is
always a blast. And then we went to Michael Campion's
magic show, which was so cute.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
It was so great, it really was. It was wonderful
and it's great to see him again.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
He's I know, and he's such a good magician.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
I know, I know, he's a man, like he's a man.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
It's weird to see the kids from Fuller House grown
up and you know, doing their own thing and you know,
exploring their own careers. I wonder if that's how Bob,
Dave and John and Laurie felt.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
About us, like when we grew up.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Sure, you know when I'm similar, like a sense of
pride and just awe, you know, I'm like, oh, I
know you.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
For ten years totally. That was the other thing watching
this episode back, I'm thinking to myself, oh my gosh, John, Dave,
Lorie they're like twenty six here right Yet to me,
I still look at them and I feel like, no,
they're in their forties there because as a young kid,
I thought they were so old, and so it's still

(05:10):
that's where my mind, like the correlation is just I
just automatically there's no way they could be twenty five
or twenty six here. Yeah, it's bizarre.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah, when I'm watching the episodes, I still think that
they're forty because they seemed they seem the same age
as our parents when we were doing the show. Yeah,
and now I still think of them. It's a weird
time work because I still think of him as in
their forties even though they're in their sixties now.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
It's just blows around. I saw all, I saw everyone.
I was so bummed that you weren't there. But at
the scleroderma event, that was oh fun Misto. But I
was talking with John and we were talking about Jeff's
Jeff Franklin's birthday. He's turning seventy wow next year, And

(06:00):
I was like, how was Jeff turning seventy? First of all,
he just doesn't look like it, no, and he but
I'm like where did we get there? And John was
like how old are you? And I'm like, I'm forty eight,
and he was just like that freaked him out, like,
how am I almost fifty? You know, because I don't

(06:21):
feel fifty, just like in our mind, they're forever going
to be forty year olds. In their mind. I think
we are forever children for sure.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Absolutely absolutely. I think that's why they were kind of
I feel like they were kind of thrown for a
loop a little bit when we started Fuller House because
they're like, oh, they're actually adults, like they know what
they're doing, and you know, you kind of fall back
into those same those same relationships where it's like, Okay,
they're the elders and we're the we're the kids, and yeah,
you know, it's yeah, it's just a funny dynamic.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
It is it is me too.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
This is the This is the first episode of this
podcast we recorded since Dave came out with his news
that he has stage three non Hodgkins lymphoma.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
So I just wanted to talk about that just a
little bit.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
He's so positive about it. Like, ironically, the person who's
taking this news the best, I think is Dave, because
he's been so positive and accepting and committed to getting
the message out how important it is for getting detection
and getting tested for you know, breast cancer or any
of the cancer's kolonoscopies, mammograms, like this is the age,

(07:36):
this is the stage we're in now exactly.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
I know, and I know, I mean, he has such
a great outlook on it. But I know it also
helps with because of Melissa, his wife, who is in
the wellness and health and fitness, so she is a
wealth of information for him. But also she's a very
positive person. So the two of them together it is

(08:02):
a great combo when you're dealing with something so terrible
that they're keeping I think that the two of them
together are keeping them both prioritized in seeing the positives,
staying on track, not letting you know, what if, what
if the unknown get to them before they get to

(08:24):
that state, do you know what I mean. It's like,
let's just do what we have to do and not
worry about the worst happening unless the worst happens. So
they're both really wonderful together.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
I'm so glad he has her because she's such a
rock and she's so she is giving of herself and
her title, like she will sacrifice anything for me or
for anyone really, Like she's just that type of person.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
But She's a great, wonderful person. Yeah, I know.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
So it was it was that the.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
News when he when he had called me, he and
Mel called me together, and you know, much earlier before
it went out to the press, and I I kind
of couldn't believe it for a couple of weeks. Yeah,
it was just like okay, okay, and I knew it
with head knowledge, but it just didn't sink into my

(09:18):
heart yet. And I just don't think I wanted it to,
because I'm like, this just isn't happening, Gorge denial, It
will be a little bit in denial. And I really
was with Dave. It was a I think still because
of the loss of Bob. I was like this, you know,
we're this can't happen. This can't happen. It can't happen again.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
But then after Dave announced it and then we knew
it was public with everyone, and that was the first
time I actually cried because I talked to him just
a few days after, or actually I talked to him
the day he did the Today Show interview and they called,
or I called, and they were in the car on
their way back to the airport, and I was just

(10:00):
like we were talking, we were laughing, we were joking,
the interview was so great and we were talking all things,
and then I was just like, I just like and
it was the first time I.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Had just cried over it.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah, and you know, it just it's all of that
kind of stuff. Everyone handles it so differently. And I've
been praying for him every day and.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
He they know that.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
And that's where I feel really strong in what I
can do and how I can be helpful. Of course,
like I can't, but I'll do anything any of my
friends asked me to do. But I'm not a doctor,
so you I feel helpless. But the one place I
know I can help is that I can pray for
him every day and have been. But that was just like,

(10:48):
in talking those things through, I just let I lost
it for the first time.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
So while you were on the phone with him, yeah
wait did you wait? Oh?

Speaker 3 (10:57):
With him?

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Did he crack a joke? Did he could have inappropriated?

Speaker 3 (11:02):
He was actually so sweet because we joked so much
before that, and then when I was crying, he was
just like he just felt it, you know, and he yeah,
it was it was sweet, But I didn't I didn't
want to be the crying person, right, positive person, but
it's just a hard reality to take that I couldn't

(11:22):
quite It didn't sink in for a while for me.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
Yeah, well that's understandable. And I'm sure on some level
it's touching for him that you love him.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
I mean, we all do.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
We love him so much that we're so affected by it.
But at the same time, I don't want him to
feel like he has to take care of our emotions,
like he's got enough, but.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Not at all.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
A little cry, I'm sure is very you know, touching. Yeah,
And yeah, for me it was.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
He was like he texted me when he found out,
and he was just so positive. He's just like, yeah,
I'm going to beat this, like this is so treatable,
Like he just talked about it like it was cold almost,
you know. And I was like, right, yeah, is he
in denial too, But no, he's just been so positive.
And I think it was seeing him with his head
shaved on the Today Show. I mean, even though his hairs,

(12:13):
you know, it's been short, but just seeing his head shaved,
and then he posted a picture of himself with getting chemo,
with his chemo port, I was just like, oh, that really,
it really sunk in for me. Then yeah, oh he's
really he's really doing it, like you know, it's yeah,
you never know what David, Like, is he joking about
this whole thing? You kind of hope he's just making
a really bad, inappropriate joke, And when you realize he's

(12:36):
not joking, it's yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
Hard news to accept, but it is. But the thing is,
it is very treatable. And I've I know I not personally,
but have also received so many messages from people that
have had the same type of cancer at the same
stage and have been in full remission for many years.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
So it is.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
Treatable and goodness, and yeah, we're just he's going to
keep staying on the positive path and the right path,
you know, with what he needs to do. And I
really truly trust and have no doubt that he will
beat it.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Yes, absolutely, And he's got just an army of people
supporting him and loving him, and his full house family.
Obviously we're going to be there for him whatever he needs,
whatever he needs, you know, if it's a well timed
fart or a joke or a smile or a hug,
you know, whatever he needs.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
You Dave, we love you.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
We love you, Dave.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
Yeah, we're always going to come stay at your house
moving in.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
I wish like our schedules could coordinate so we could
all go stay in his house totally.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
I'm gonna I'll let you know when I go because
I'm going to go out. And I told Laurie i'd
let her know too, So maybe maybe we could stay
on a go together. You know, that would be fun.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
I think they've got the room for us for sure,
and if not, that's fine. I'll sleep anywhere. But that
would be great. He would I would love that. He
would love that.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Mel would love that. Oh. I know, I love you, Dave,
but I really love your wife. He's like, you don't
care about me, you just want to hang out with Mel.
I'm like, well, it's kind of true, but I do
love you, Dave.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Mel is the best. Well, let's get into this recap.
I'm so excited to talk about this episode with you today.
We are discussing season three, episode twenty two, titled Three
Men and Another Baby. It originally aired on April thirteenth,

(14:39):
nineteen ninety, and it goes a little something like this.
Michelle is jealous when Danny agrees to Babysit, a Neighbors
Infant Overnight. Also DJ's math homework stumps Joey. It was
directed by Billy Fausta.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Any of the cigarettes and coffee?

Speaker 3 (15:05):
Do you remember Billy Foster? I like, I so you do, Okay,
I do.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
He had like short, short white hair, and he did.
He always had coffee.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
And a cigarette.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
He's directed a lot of Season three, like he's like
the I thought Joel was more involved in these early seasons,
but no, it's been Billy Foster like almost all of
these episodes. Yeah, he's he was a force. I love,
I love, Oh he's he's directed. Sorry, now I'm already
getting off topic.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
I know, did you guys have him on the show.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
No, but he's done.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
He's done a lot of those, like very special episodes
like the beer drinking episode. We just did that one
last week, or like thirteen candles. Like he's done, and
I love I love how. I've talked about this before,
but I love how he frames his shots where like
you'll like DJ will be sitting on her bed with
her pillow person but she's wearing all of them makeup

(16:00):
from the junior you know, she dressed up with that
crazy makeup for Junior High the first day of Junior High.
And I just love that he has that shot of
like the mirror and DJ sad with her pillow person,
and it's like it's like it's a juxtaposition between DJ's
being she's a child, but she's growing into a woman
and so she's hanging on to her childhood with her

(16:20):
pillow person, but she really wants to grow up and
be be a woman makeup. So I just I really
have appreciated his directing skills. Yeah, anyway, let me not
get off too much off track here. This was written
by Lenny Rips. Love Lenny Reps.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
Love Lenny.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
He's the best. And we have several guest stars this week.
We have Barry Kivel returns as Michael Kagan. We saw
him a few episodes ago in Misadventures in Babysit.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
I remember they were the parents that I baby sat
in the guts stuck or he got stuck in banister
and the butter and the thing.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah, these are the same parents. They were like they
were they were hit like hippie hippy hippy parents.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
They were going to like a Grateful Dead concert.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
Yeah, and I think they were so funny in that
episode that that's why they brought them back specifically, I
think I believe it Yes or someone else, but I
think they were just so funny. We were like, they
just have to be the other neighbor couple that keeps
popping up. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
I wish they were in more episodes too. This is
their their last episode. I just think it's funny that
they don't even mentioned the kid that got his head
stuck in the banister. It's all about the infant in
this episode. No, but I'm like, what happened to the kid?
And it is, you know, the butter on his head.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
I know he's sleeping at a friend's house.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Yeah, come on, Jeff, write a little throwaway line or
something about that. And next we have Joan Leesman. She
of course is returning as Joyce Kagan, so she was
in Misadventures and Babysitting obviously, but she also played Jonie
in season one's Joey's Place, so she's This is the
Debbie Gregory effect where you have one actor that's playing

(18:13):
multiple parts and it's never referent funny. So she played
only different character in season one funny, Yeah, and now
she's yeah now she's the neighbor with multiple children. So yeah,
this is their last episode of Full House unfortunately, but
that's okay. We appreciated them. They did great work for
the day episodes last, but certainly not least. We have

(18:35):
Cameron McGovern and Jason McGovern as baby Tony. Uh. They're
one and only credit on IMDb, which seems to be
a trend. We this is a trend. Lots of people
like The Lost Kills, the Careers, so many child actors
they never act again.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
So no, well, at least I would think that he
was they or the boys were young enough that it
might have just been the parent's decision going we don't
ever want to do that again.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Right, Oh yeah, it's it's st I can. I obviously
don't know, but I imagine that's stressful, like watching your
baby cry like this baby had to cry on camera,
and I was like, that would be very stressful as
a mother.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
Yeah, like yeah, and the parents aren't really even on
the set because you have more of the baby wrangler
or the teacher that's that's working with them. So even
as a parent being so hands off, they're just handing
over their child. And of course everyone was super nice
that worked on our show, and we're so caring and
loving and all of that, but it's got to be freaky.

(19:37):
As a parent, you're like, here's my kid.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Go ahead.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
I don't think I could do it. I don't think
I could do that.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Oh man, Yeah, these kids, these these boys were super
super cute. Okay, well, so we start with the teaser
in Michelle's room. Michelle is sitting in bed and she yells, Daddy, Joey,
come here. The guys instantly come running in as if
they've been just waiting outside the door because they were,

(20:04):
and Danny asks what's wrong. Michelle confesses there's a monster
in my closet, and Joey says, we've been through this
one hundred times. There's no such thing as monsters. Michelle protests,
uh huh, there's a cookie monster, and Joey reminds her
he's not a real monster. He's just a sugar freak
who got stuck.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
With a scary last name.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
Michelle doesn't let up. I'm telling you there's a monster
in my closet. Danny walks over to this supposed monster closet.
He's determined to prove to Michelle that there's nothing there.
Michelle warns the boys be careful, and Danny laughs and
tells Michelle to look as he moves her clothes aside,
assuming that there's nothing behind them. Just then, someone in

(20:44):
a monster mask jumps out and scares them. Michelle grins, gotcha.
The monster takes off her mask and it's DJ. She
congratulates Michelle on the scare and they give each other
a high five. Super cute.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
And I don't remember doing that. So when I saw
myself pop out of the closet, I was like, oh
I did that. That was the thing. But it did
remind me in my own personal life. I just have
to share. My son Max, when he was like four,
had come into my room, our room at night, and
he was like, mommy, mommy, there's a monster in my room.
And I was like, okay, let's go look for the monster,

(21:22):
and grabbed his hand and we walked back into his room,
which was upstairs. Okay, and we I'm like, where where's
the monster? And he's like I don't I don't know,
and I'm like, yeah, see, there's no monsters. I opened
the closet door, no monsters. I don't see anything. Looked
under all the furniture, and then he goes there it is.

(21:46):
And when we listened, you could hear this like kind
of groaning sound. And I was like, oh, hold on,
I think that's coming from the closet. What And so
I open the closet again and I hear from the
duct that was like on the ground, the air duct. Yeah,

(22:09):
I hear this, like, oh, that sounds so gross. And
I realized we had we had a friend that was
staying with us, and they were in the room. The
guest bedroom was the room below Max's room, and he
was snoring so loud that it was like traveling up

(22:32):
the Oh my gosh, and it sounded like this monster
growling and maxist closet or Max he was like, I know.
I was like, you're right, buddy, it does sound like
a monster. That's just Alan sleeping really hard. Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
I thought you were going to say there was like
a raccoon in your walls.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
Or something like that. Just Alan snoring.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
He got some good sleep that night, he did. That's
so funny. Well, next we're in the kitchen. Danny is
feverishly mopping the floors. He looks around and he realizes
he's trapped himself. All of the areas around him are clean.
He manages to hop onto the kitchen counter without touching
the floor and immediately scrubs the last place where he
was standing. Just then, the back door opens. He frantically

(23:21):
yells freeze, stop, and the girls come to a halt.
Danny instructs him to take off their shoes. Dj realizes, Oh,
that's right, it's Friday, and Friday is and the girls
say in unison, mop till you drop day. So the
girls take off their shoes and Comet bolts in from
the backyard. Danny tries to command the dog to stop

(23:42):
and wipe his paws, but Comet doesn't listen and he
runs straight into the living room instead. Danny hurriedly scoots
himself off the counter and jumps onto the floor to chase.
After Commet in the living room, Danny storms over to
the naughty dog, who is happily sitting on the floor.
He pets him and admits, it's a good thing you
start in school tonight. Just then the doorbell rings. Danny

(24:03):
opens the door and Joyce Kagan appears once again with
a different child.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
He pushes the stroller into the house.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
Which is carrying a sweet little baby and her husband
Michael follows behind. Joyce thanks Danny for letting Tony sleep
over tonight. Danny touches the baby's chubby cheeks and gushes,
what are neighbors for? Which is ironic because he never
wanted me around where Kimmy was around, right, He was
always trying to.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Get rid of surprising you kept coming back because they
were not very nice to Kimmy Gibbler.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
The adults were not nice. We're just getting into that now,
like season three, Like it's just now starting the meanness
towards Kimmy Gibbler. Oh, I know, I'm a dreading the
future seasons.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
Danny says.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
He lets out a big laugh, and the Kagans don't
respond right away. They look at each other first, and
then let out a painfully fake laugh. Michael hands Danny
a car seat and then proceeds to give him a
list of urgency phone numbers, also with Tony's nutritionally balanced,
cholesterol free oat bran enriched baby food. Danny comments, sort

(25:09):
of like Purina yuppie Joe. He laughs again at his
own witty comment, and the couple doesn't react. They give
each other a puzzled look before breaking out into another
round of fake laughter. Before leaving, Joyce WARN's Danny that
Tony won't bond with just anyone, so he shouldn't take
it personally.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
When he picks Tony up and he.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Just screens his guts out, Danny laughs, thinking this is
a joke, but the couple doesn't laugh. Danny's like, why
aren't you laughing? And the father holds up a peace
sign and says you'll.

Speaker 3 (25:38):
See, and they're out.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Danny folkus, Now, why did Danny agree to babysit this
child when he had obedience training plan.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
Behind the dog?

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Same thing.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
It's like, that's really irresponsible of Danny who was irresponsible?

Speaker 3 (25:56):
And he must have just assumed with Jesse or Joey
that one of them was going to help out.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
Yeah, I guess. I mean it is a full house,
so I guess someone's always around to us.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
Home, because it's not like all the kids were going
to obedience school with him. Yeah that's true. Oh yeah,
so someone had to be home.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
True. So Danny focuses his attention on the baby. He
asks the baby if he'd like to do a little bonding,
and Tony just stares at him blankly.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
As babies do.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
Danny decides to warm up a bottle, so he moves
the stroller a little closer to the kitchen, so he
stays in eye view, and he tells Tony not to move.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
Why would you leave it? Again?

Speaker 1 (26:36):
As a mom, I'm like, why would you leave the baby?
I mean, I know this is a plot device to
set up when Jesse and Becky walk in, But.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
Totally, I'm like, take the baby in the kitchen, you know,
I know, but you just have to forgive it because
it's a sitcom. We do.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
We have to set up the next act.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Billy Foster just had to make it work. So, yes,
how he made it work exactly. So just then, Jesse, Becky,
and Joey walk through the front door. Becky and Joey
are carrying giant grocery bags and Becky is staying, I
can't wait to get into the kitchen. I haven't cooked
for you guys in months. Jesse responds, we can't wait either, sweetheart.

(27:14):
But as she walks away, Joey and Jesse make disgusted faces,
showing how they actually feel about her cooking. Becky sees
Tony and exclaimed.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
So, I feel like that's probably how Val thinks about
me when I cook, Like, oh, he's just tolerating it.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
Is this a running gag that Becky is not a
good cook?

Speaker 3 (27:34):
I think yes, I think it was a running gag.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Okay, because it sounded familiar. But I had never seen
this episode before, so I'm like, where did it?

Speaker 3 (27:42):
Yeah? Where did I hear it? I think yeah, for
a few okay or Becky.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
So, Becky's very excited to see Tony. She's like, look, Jess, look,
he's so cute. But Jesse is not impressed. He says,
you see cute, I see smelly diapers. He asks Joey
where the baby came from, and Joey explains, you see
when two people really love each other and glares him.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
I know that part.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Where did this baby come from?

Speaker 3 (28:08):
That was a funny joke. I laughed out out when
Joey said that more joy.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Nothing gives me more joy than like Dave being Dave.
And then Uncle Jesse Bean just like frustrated with him,
the slapping him on the back of the head.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
Sometimes it is.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
So Danny walks back in the room and he tells
them that this is Tony from across the street, and
they're babysitting tonight, and that's when Tony begins to cry,
like a.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
Real tear, like this baby had a real tear.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
Like my mommy heart was like, oh, this poor baby.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
He probably had a little toy in his hand and
then they took it away and he was like sure.
I was like, what do you How do you make
a baby cry on camera?

Speaker 1 (28:57):
That's a good, that's a good.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
They probably yeah, had food or a toy and then
took it away, go away, and then he cried.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Yeah, okay, very smart. These baby tricks, baby wrangler tricks.
So Becky jokingly asks Tony, what did you say you
want your uncle Jesse. She proceeds to pick up the
baby and places him right into Jesse's hands, as Jesse,
of course, is protesting this. As soon as the baby
is in Jesse's arms, he stops crying. The other adults

(29:27):
smile at the sweet sight, but Jesse has a different reaction.
He asks Tony, what.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
Did I ever do to you?

Speaker 1 (29:35):
And this is such a funny bit because John really
is the baby whisper in real life?

Speaker 2 (29:40):
Is he totally is?

Speaker 3 (29:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (29:42):
I'm wondering if they the writers got this from real
life because John was so good with the Olsens or
any any babies that they're like, Oh, let's make uncle
Jesse the baby whisper, you know, yeah, little art.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
I wonder if, yeah, John was always good with kids.
But I wonder if they wrote to that the fact
that he was already a baby was whisper. If it
just progressed because he was always around babies on the show. Yeah,
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
I don't know you came first.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
I don't know. It's a question the chicken or the egg.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
So Danny gives Jesse a pat on the back. Face
it the kid loves you, which is great because I
got to take comment to obedience school tonight. Will you
watch him for me, Danny? This is not in Danny's character.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
Danny's very type it.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
You know, he's like dj He's very type A organized.
He would have known on his color coded calendar if
there was a clear right you know, yes, Yeah, I
feel like it.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
Should have been they missed that beat.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
They missed that beat they did.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
It should have been joe.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
I could see Joey doing this maybe, but.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
Anyway, you're right, Yeah, they should have added a line
to say, yeah, something to the parents.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Whatever. Okay, guys, I know this is this is what
happens when you analyze a sitcom and try to provide lodge.
It's like, you know, it doesn't make sense.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
You never should ever. I should just sit back, relax
and enjoy it. Yep, don't question it.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
So Jesse scoffs, you're dreaming. Becky tries to persuade him.
It'll be fun. We'll get to play mom and dad.
Jesse nods, great, we'll get a babysitter. Danny grins. You
can't fool me. I know you love kids. He tells
Jesse that Tony's bottle is in the sink, and then
he calls out for comet so they can head off
to obedience school.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
So I'm gonna interrupt you. I thought it was funny
Tony's bottles in the sink. Yeah, But then I was thinking, oh,
because we didn't I don't know that we had all
those fancy baby warmers. So maybe he put the bottle
in the sink that was in did he have time
to warm up water? Like whoh? And he put it

(31:49):
in the pot to warm the bottle up with warm water.
You know what I mean? He put the pot in
the sink.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
He said that.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
I'm like, why is it in the sink? That's weird? Oh,
he was probably warming it up.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
Yeah, it bumped me too a little bit. And later
on we see Jesse warming up the bottle in a
pot full of Yeah walking, so they should have just
said pot, not sink. But again, yeah, if you have
childless men writing, they don't know how you w.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
This is true.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Row it in the microwave, you know, what do we know?
But as moms were like, what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (32:24):
Very true.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
So Commet is sitting in the kitchen doorway and Danny
is commanding him to heal, but the dog isn't moving,
so Danny tells him to stay and that's when Commet
bolts out the open front door. Danny shouts, wait for me,
get in the car. No, not that car, Come back
with my dog, and he runs out of the house,
leaving Jesse, Becky and Joey.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
With the baby.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Jesse has decided he's had enough baby bonding, so he
places Tony back in his stroller. That's when Michelle walks
in through the kitchen. She spots the baby and her
jaw drops so cute Becky. Becky introduces Tony to Michelle.
Michelle extends her hand for a handshake, and she says,
very nice to meet you. Then she asks the baby

(33:10):
if he can do this, and she spreads the corners
of her mouth open really wide. Do you remember the
Olson's doing that?

Speaker 3 (33:17):
They love that all the time.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
Once I discovered that skill, it was like, oh, look
what we can do.

Speaker 3 (33:24):
I know.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
I think they do it again in the next episode too.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
That's so funny.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
The baby lets out a little giggle at the funny face,
and Michelle asks, can you do this? As she shakes
her hips and her little signature wiggle yes.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
A little booty shake, A.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
Little booty shake. Tony gives her a blank expression in response,
so Michelle wonders, can you do anything?

Speaker 2 (33:47):
Ashley?

Speaker 3 (33:47):
I think it was Ashley. She's so funny in this scene, like.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
She's right now, you know, leaning into the.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
Comedy of this.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
It's it's really fun to watch that, you know, and
develops as little actresses. So Jesse chime in, I bet
he can laugh. Let's tickle him, and he proceeds to
tickle Tony until Michelle declares my turn, and then Jesse
tickles her and he turns to Tony and he says,
I used to be really cool. Oh, Jesse, You'll always

(34:16):
be cool.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
So next door in the.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Girl's room, DJ is zoned in on her homework as
Steph sits on her bed reading a book, and we
have to pause to discuss like all of the outfits.
The hair you got, crimped hair, grimmed hair.

Speaker 3 (34:32):
It's huge, it's massive, but like perfectly blown out straight bangs.
But then the crimped hair, and then Jody's hair, which
is like perfectly sponge rolled and quaffed.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
And then those bangs that were like little.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
Little spider web banks, little spider web poofy bangs. Man
and her little acid washed jeans in the best with
ballet flats like this, I could not have been more Well,
it's nineties, but it's like late eighties nineties. Whoa, Yeah,
it was wild. I was screaming nineties.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
You look so cute with your crimped hair, Like I
really like that You're kind of volley between straight and permed,
and you know, you go back and forth a little bit,
but I really like that crimped look on you.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
It was great. Thanks.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
Is this this season or is this when you started
getting your hair blown out before show night? On the
didn't you go to a salon.

Speaker 3 (35:30):
I did it, and I do that later, so I
think it starts later, maybe maybe season four or five.
It started okay, so you just had Frankie or whoever
doing your hair doing this the signature DJ bangs.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Which yes, so great.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
So it's so classic, and you got like your hot
pink shirt, like your fashion is so cute.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
In season three, you know, it's like it was cute
and I had that little pink kind of suede skirt on,
and then I had the scrunchy socks with they weren't
Doc Martins, but like a version of Doc Martins that
were like patent leather black. It was really cute, so cute,
so cute, I can.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
I can tell you had some influence on your wardrobe
this season, which maybe you didn't always, but I can
definitely tell. Usually you're in mustard yellow. Do you remember
your mustard yellow era? My good yellow.

Speaker 3 (36:26):
I didn't request that, but for some reason, I was
always in mustard yellow a lot. John John was too.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
For some reason, Uncle Jesse was wearing mustard yellow and black.

Speaker 3 (36:37):
I wonder if that was just the pantone color of
the year, you know what I mean? That clothes like
that was just the hot color.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
It must have been, because it's repeated several times, and
I was just like, that's really odd for the thirteen
year old girls to be wearing mustard yellow. The hot
pink looks really cute.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
It's much more age appropriate.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
Yes, yes, And.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
Then Jody this this floral best like I don't. I'm
so curious to know if she loves this outfit or
hates it, because it's just a very combination of patterns
and the short, curly hair and it feels like she's
trying to look grown up, but she's still just such
a little kid that, you know she's The hair is
what's killing me, like more than the outfit, but the hair.

(37:21):
It was just it was so perfectly pink sponge rollers,
you know, because they were so tight, but it kind
of had this smooth little bump around her head and
then it went into like like tight little curls and
then the bangs were just hilarious to me. Oh gosh,
I think she's still scarred from that and the dibity
do and like getting the indentations in your because she

(37:43):
slept on those rollers every night. I feel Janice would
roll those curls every night into the sponge rollers, and
she had to sleep on them.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
My mom did the same thing when.

Speaker 3 (37:53):
I was younger, when I was her age, and I
slept in them all the time. And then I think
it was season two that I got a firm because
my mom was like, I'm not doing this anymore. Your
hair is so long, We're just gonna go get a firm.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
Yeah, I lit a lot of hair, So yeah, that's
two time consuming no time gat bitty du and sponge rollers.
Joey walks in and he announces homework halftime. He sets
a plate of cookies down on the table. DJ says thanks,
and she admits she's in big trouble. She asks if
he's any good at math, and Joey boasts I did

(38:27):
sleep through a whole year of honors calculus. He tells
DJ to lay it on him, and she reads directly
from her textbook. Bill is throwing a party. He wants
to buy a pound and a half of mixed nuts.
One third is almonds, two thirds are walnuts. The total
cost is seven dollars and fifty cents. The almonds cost
four dollars a pound. How much do the walnuts cost?

(38:47):
Joey ponders this for a minute before asking the guy's
name was Bill, and DJ shakes her head, laughing at
his obvious confusion. I hated these questions. I hated these
math questions.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Who I couldn't stand that?

Speaker 1 (39:00):
Yeah, No, I was. I mean, I was never good
at man.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
And that's why I was thinking.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
I was like, these are the same questions that thirty
years later, forty years later, we're still asking.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
Yeah, and have we ever used this math in our life?

Speaker 3 (39:14):
No? No? Uh so painful.

Speaker 1 (39:19):
So Jesse then enters the room carrying baby Tony. He
asks who wants to play with him, and the girls
plus Joey all stand up and shout I do I do?
DJ reminds Joey, you have homework. Steph begins to play
with Tony, who is still strapped into his car seat
on her bed. Why is this baby in a car seat?
I guess because he has to sit like no one's

(39:40):
really hiding.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
I just thought it was weird that John brought in
a car seat, Like, wouldn't you just have a baby
on your hip?

Speaker 3 (39:47):
I don't know, but I think that's what's gonna make
the joke funnier is that once he gets the baby,
the baby's always calm once he's holding him.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
I think it helps set up the joke.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
More if he's not holding him from the start.

Speaker 1 (39:59):
That makes that a lot of sense. Steph is admiring
Tony's cute little baby fingers, and DJ's gushing over him.
She says she's always wanted a baby brother. Joey stands up,
announcing I can't take this. I'm taking a baby break,
and the three of them all babble over the baby together.
Jesse snarks, as much as I wove baby talk, I

(40:21):
willy have to weave, but Tony starts to fuss and cry.
When Jesse walks away, Steph, DJ and Joey all call
after him in unison, Uncle Jesse, Tony wants you. Jesse
assures them that the baby isn't crying because he wants him.
Joey brings Tony over to him and places him in
Jesse's arms. As soon as Jesse holds him, Tony stops crying.

(40:43):
Realization seeps in, and Jesse sternly tells the baby this
whole I don't cry around Uncle Jesse. Bit was cute
at first, but now it's We get a close up
of Tony's sweet little face, and Jesse admits, okay, it's
still cute. Jesse flips Tony onto his belly and begins
to lie him around like an airplane. Once he gets
to the hallway, he starts to struggle, calling Tony a

(41:04):
jumbo jet. He proceeds to fly him around the hallway
and right into Michelle's room. In Michelle's room, her old
crib is set up for Tony to spend the night.
Jesse flies Tony around the room, calling him super baby,
and Michelle pouts, hey, I'm super baby. Jesse protests, no,
you're not. You're super big girl. Then he prepares Tony

(41:26):
for landing and places him in the crib. Michelle winds, hey,
that's my crib. Jesse reminds her that she doesn't need
a crib anymore, she has her big girl bed. Michelle
frowns in response. Jesse grabs a nearby toy for Tony
and waves it above his head. Michelle shouts, those are
my toys, and Jesse tells her that Tony needs some

(41:47):
company while he sleeps. Michelle asks in my room, Jesse nods, Michelle,
you have to learn how to share today it's Tony's
room two, okay, and Michelle admits this is nuts. I
agree with Michelle, like, did they not prepare this child
at all for this baby coming and invading her room?

Speaker 2 (42:06):
Like she's stainly caught off.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
Guard by this completely.

Speaker 3 (42:10):
They should have sat her down and said like, hey,
well you're having a friend coming and he's going to
stay in your room, and yeah, they should have had
the conversation. But this was also the moment where where
I thought, this is a timeless situation. Of course, a
little three year old is going to have a hard
time adjusting to somebody new, and I just thought, oh

(42:32):
my goodness, that's when the light bulb went on in
my head. Of like, that's why Full House was a
really good show, because they took the time to walk
through these little problems in life and then how do
you handle them? So I know you're going to continue,
but I love how Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky have
two totally different responses, and so does.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
Danny, So yeah, yeah, no, no, it's it's very timeless.
And I I don't remember this happening with my own kids,
so I was kind of like, oh, you know, it
wasn't super relatable for me personally, But yeah, no, it
is very timeless.

Speaker 3 (43:08):
And I'm sure a lot of you know.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
Last born kids. Well you and I are both last
born kids, so we didn't really have to share with anybody,
So I.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
Know it's true.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
You know, think about a little think about a stranger
coming in. It's one thing to learn to share with
your siblings right when you're at school, but when it's
your own personal your bedroom, your toys, of course, that's
going to affect a three year old if you had
haven't had a conversation with them first. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
I mean DJ's had to share her room and her
stuff for many many years already, so she's used to it.
But Michelle's never had a little siblings that she has
to share stuff with, so yes, absolutely understandable. So Jesse
gives Michelle a sweet little nudge before directing his attention
back to the baby. He tells Tony he's going to
sing him a song before he goes to sleep. Michelle

(43:58):
watches as Jesse sings one of his original songs to
the baby, and she sadly whispers, that's my song. Jesse
continues his song and Michelle leaves hanging her head in despair,
She sits against the wall in the hallway and places
her head in her hands. She tells herself, uncle Jesse
doesn't like me anymore. She lets his heartbreaking sigh.

Speaker 3 (44:21):
It was so sweet, it was so cute.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
It was really heartbreaking.

Speaker 3 (44:26):
I watched and I was like, oh, and then I
was imagining little kids this age, watching them a little
three year old, a four year old, a five year old,
the six year old. How relatable is that to watch
someone their age having all of those feelings? Yeah, never
see that on other shows. They always jump the kid

(44:48):
from a baby, from an infant up to a five
or six year old. Oh ye, all those years because
there's not a lot of young you know, three or
four year olds that can act. So the very the
very fact that Michelle was the same person through all
eight years of the show and you watch her grow up,
I now understand why it made Full House a huge success.

(45:13):
And this little scene is a perfect example of where
you're like, you know, that tuns on mom's heart, and
it also little kids can watch it and you're like, oh,
I you know, I see myself. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
Jeff was very revolutionary in that sense that Yeah, nobody
had ever watched a child grow up for eight years too,
Like that's a really long time for any show. So
to watch a child go from infant to eight years old, it.

Speaker 3 (45:44):
Was really remarkable.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (45:46):
But yeah, this is oh, this was that was just
very heartbreaking.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
I was just saying it was.

Speaker 3 (45:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (45:52):
Sometimes I feel like emotionally manipulated by Michelle but when
she gets sad or has tantrums or whatever. But this
was really tugged on my heart strings.

Speaker 3 (46:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
So we cut to a sad commercial break, and when
we come backward in the kitchen, Joey excitedly tells Becky
and Jesse I finally figured out DJ's math problem. According
to my calculations, Bill can buy a pound of walnuts four.
He punches some numbers into his old school printing calculator
and it gives a very long answer. His expression changes

(46:23):
as he repeats the answer out loud, fifty three thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (46:27):
This scene reminded me of trying to do math with
my children. Math homework, I was like, again, something that
never changes.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
I was never very.

Speaker 3 (46:37):
Strong in math, and then math changed over the years,
Like my kids learned a whole different math than what
I knew, so I couldn't even help.

Speaker 2 (46:44):
Them with bmework.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
Yeah, now it's common core. It's it's very hard to understand.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
So different.

Speaker 3 (46:49):
But this whole scene made me laugh so hard because
I'm like, yep, totally get it. I couldn't do any
I am not smarter than a fifth grader. I was like,
I need a calculator, going, why can't I do fifth
grade math?

Speaker 2 (47:02):
I can't do it.

Speaker 3 (47:04):
I just laughed at Joey in this.

Speaker 1 (47:06):
Yeah, even with a calculator, you still can't figure it out.

Speaker 3 (47:08):
The calculator doesn't so relatable. It's so relatable.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
So meanwhile, Becky is feeding Jesse a spoonful of the
food that she's been cooking. When he tastes it, his
face freezes. He can barely force himself to chew it,
and Becky notices she asks too spicy, and Jesse shakes
his head. No, no, I always cry when I eat chicken,
and Becky corrects him it's pasta and Jesse's eyes go wide.

Speaker 3 (47:37):
Is so funny. He was so funny.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
I laughed out loud in his expressions.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
Like I never appreciated his comedy skills when we were
on Full House, but now watching it as adult. I'm like,
he's really funny, Like he's not just a good looking guy,
Like he nails the physical comedy, the expressions, like he's
he's really got it all.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
And completely completely.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
I just I think of him more as well, not
a dramatic actor, but he does so well with the
dramatic scenes too, you know, the emotional scenes. I'm like, no,
he's he's a comedy actor.

Speaker 3 (48:12):
I would say he's a comedy actor.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
He's so absolutely.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
So.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
Just then, Michelle stomps into the room with her hands
on her hips. She declares, Uncle Jesse, come with me please.
Jesse stands and asks her where they're going. Michelle sternly
states to see Tony. Jesse asks what's the matter with Tony,
and Michelle responds, He's still here.

Speaker 3 (48:35):
She walks out of the room.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
She says that though.

Speaker 3 (48:39):
The way she says he's still here was so stinking cute.
She's like, he's still here, like heal.

Speaker 1 (48:49):
Yeah, Mary Kate had that lisp like that.

Speaker 3 (48:51):
It was so it was so cute, so funny. I
rewound it like three times just to hear her say
he still heal anyway, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (49:02):
I love that the girls are so good though, Like
it wasn't. We're just now starting to get into the
Michelle focused episodes. Yeah, and I felt like at the
beginning of the season it was a little too soon,
like the girls were still mimicking Adria and it felt
really mimicked and forced. But just now, like at the
end of season three, I'm really seeing them, like, wow,
they're really like acting. I mean, you know, Adria is

(49:25):
still off scream with a.

Speaker 3 (49:26):
Toy or a snack or something, of course, but they
still have to execute it themselves. Yeah, a motion behind it.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
It sounds natural, it's it's cute, it's adorable, it's fine.
They've got the timing down, like they're really growing and
they were only two years old.

Speaker 3 (49:40):
Like it's pretty remarkable when you think about it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
So Michelle walks out of the room, expecting Uncle Jesse
to follow her, but before he leaves, he tells Becky
to check this out with him, and Becky asks.

Speaker 3 (49:51):
What about my dinner?

Speaker 1 (49:52):
And Jesse brushes it off, just let it fist her
and Becky puts a hand on her hip and glares
at him. Jesse corrects himself, I mean simmer. She follows
him out the door, whacking him on the head for
good measure. Meanwhile, Joey's on the phone with Mohammed's house
of nuts. That's made me laugh, which gets a huge
laugh from I'm like, what is funny about this that

(50:14):
it's moment Hommet like, I don't I don't know.

Speaker 3 (50:18):
A house, A house of nuts, A house nuts, that's
funny to me.

Speaker 2 (50:22):
I laughed out loud.

Speaker 3 (50:24):
A house of nuts.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
I'm like, is that full house? Because we're all a
house of nuts.

Speaker 1 (50:28):
Hey, there you go, That's what the episode should have
been titled, House of nuts and Nuts. So Joey tells
the person on the other end of the of the line,
my name's Bill, I'm having a party, and my nut
budget is exactly seven point fifty. You know, Dave had
a field day with this, she did. But nut is

(50:49):
a funny word because nut. I mean, obviously we were.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
Talking about nuts that we eat, but you know it
also has some other meetings, So the word nut is
just a funny word.

Speaker 1 (51:03):
I love that they gave this bit to day. It's
not a perfect for him my nut budget. How many
times do they.

Speaker 3 (51:11):
Have to do that take?

Speaker 1 (51:12):
Because you know, Dave was just riffing on that or
making people laugh like he's just always been.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
So the same way.

Speaker 1 (51:21):
He has not changed.

Speaker 3 (51:23):
He has not.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
Changed in thirty seven years. No, As Joey continues his spiel,
he's rattling off DJ's math problem word for word. He
has to tell this person, no, this isn't for homework.

(51:44):
And then he pauses and he says, Okay, yes, I know.
I'll never learn if I don't do it myself. Joey,
He's desperate. Back in Michelle's room, Becky, Jesse, and Michelle
are standing by the crib where baby Tony is sleeping.
Michelle steps onto her bed so she can peer inside
and address Tony directly. She shouts, time to go home,
bye bye. Michelle's shouting wakes Tony up. Jesse scolds Michelle,

(52:09):
telling her, Hey, that wasn't very cool, and Michelle responds
with a smile. Good now he can go home. Becky
tells her that she doesn't mean that, and Michelle protests.

Speaker 3 (52:19):
Oh, yes, I do.

Speaker 1 (52:21):
Jesse picks up the baby so he can comfort him,
and Michelle witnesses this and demands my turn, carry me.
Jesse tells her that he's taking care of the baby
right now, but he'll carry her later. He walks over
to the rocking chair with Tony and Becky follows him.
Becky realizes what's going on here. She tells him that
Michelle's jealous because Tony is getting all of her uncle's attention. Now,

(52:45):
Michelle wants to be a baby to gain this attention back.
Jesse asks, what would give you a crazy idea like that,
and Becky shrugs. Intuition, instinct, and the fact that Michelle
is sitting in the crib sucking her thumb. Jesse looks
and sure enough, that's exactly what she's doing. Yeah, Michelle
takes her thumb out of her mouth for a moment

(53:06):
to say I'm a baby. Jesse hands Tony to Becky
so he can address this. He reminds Michelle, you're not
a baby, You're a big girl, and then the big
girl responds goo goo ga ga. Jesse tells Becky they
have to do something about this. Becky responds, well, I
think the obvious solution is to reward Michelle for acting

(53:27):
like a big girl. Jesse scoffs, you obviously know nothing
about child psychology. It's very simple. You just have to
look them in the eye and lay down the law.
He tells Becky to watch and learn. Jesse waltzes up
to Michelle and Pecky sarcastically asks should I take.

Speaker 3 (53:45):
Notes O wise one?

Speaker 1 (53:46):
And Jesse not, it's telling her Hey wouldn't hurt. Then
he directs his attention to Michelle. Jesse is stern with her.
He tells her to stop clowning around. He demands that
she get out of the crib and start showing them
what a big girl she is. Michelle momentarily takes her
thumb out of her mouth and then mimics a baby cry.
Becky asks Jesse, knowingly ready to try the reward method,

(54:08):
and Jesse waves her off. Oh please, that never works.
Becky tries to persuade him, if you try, I'll give
you one of my special backrubs, and Jesse's like, okay, hey,
this is worth a shot. Becky's like, why, because I'm
gonna reward you, and Jesse sighs, well maybe, but just
because you tricked me doesn't mean Michelle is dumb enough

(54:30):
to fall for it. He pauses for a beat and
realizes he just insults it himself. I don't care when
Becky is schooling Jesse like she's always right Becky is
always right.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
She's always right.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
Jesse never never wants to admit that. No, So wait,
I'm reading a note. Okay, So next we're in the
girls room. DJ is holding her pillow person and Steph
is rearranging her shelf. When Joey walks in, he tells
DJ he's been working on the math problem for over
an hour and the answer is, you're never going to

(55:05):
use algebra in real life. DJ starts to so many.

Speaker 3 (55:09):
Times have I told that to my own children. I'm
just like, you're never going to use this. You're never
going to use it. You're never going to use it.
Figure it out enough to pass the test, but you're
never going to use it unless you're getting.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
Into banking or accounting or something like that, and then
you're going to be taking many more classes with Yeah,
with me, I very much related to Joey in this episode. Yes,
me too. Uh So. DJ starts to speak, but Joey
cuts her off. No, I let you down. Now, you'll
never get into college. You'll end up working in some
diner serving chicken fried steaks and creamed corn to truck drivers.

(55:43):
And DJ tells them to relax. She called the homework
hotline and they helped her do it. She explains the
mathematical process to solve the equation using x, y and
z as variables. Joey stares at her blankly before concluding, Oh, sure,
it's easy when you use letters. I was using real nuts.

Speaker 2 (56:02):
Again with the nuts.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
Again with the nuts. He asks me to give him
another problem, so she hands him her textbook and instructs
him to do problems one through twenty. She says, don't
forget to show your work and neatness counts. Joey nods,
I'll get right on it, and he walks out with
the textbook. Just then Jesse's walking in at the same time.
He makes his way over to his nieces and admits

(56:25):
he's having a little problem. Ever since he's been hanging
around Tony. Michelle is starting to get jealous. She's acting
like a baby to get his attention, so he wants
to reward her with something special for acting like a
big girl. DJ suggests Michelle's had her eye on mister
Beer ever since she could crawl, and Stephanie grabs mister
Bhaer and holds him close. She says, so, what's your point?

(56:48):
DJ reminds her, well, you always said that one day
you were going to give mister Bhaer to Michelle, and
Michelle puts her Stephanie puts her hands on her hips
and clarifies when I said one day, I meant like
her wedding day. Steph grabs DJ's pillow person and suggests, well,
why don't you give her this? And DJ argues, because
mister bear is a child's toy, My pillow person is

(57:11):
a sophisticated companion. Steph gives an exaggerated eye roll. Please sophisticated.
It's got arms and legs growing out of its face.

Speaker 3 (57:21):
That was funny.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
That delivers delivery.

Speaker 2 (57:24):
So it was so good.

Speaker 3 (57:26):
It was so funny whenever she had those pointed lines
that was like the you know, the punchline.

Speaker 2 (57:34):
She just she killed it as.

Speaker 1 (57:36):
We nailed it, and she's so funny. It's and I
love like when you guys are just doing the sister thing,
the arguing back and forth, you know, throwing barbers at
each other.

Speaker 3 (57:46):
It's so fun to watch.

Speaker 1 (57:47):
Yeah, So DJ says, I say, we let Michelle decide,
and Steph nods fine with me. The girl's storm out
of the room and Jesse follows them with a smirk
on his face, he admits it is a stupid looking
pillow ouch, Like, were you offended by that?

Speaker 2 (58:07):
It was a little bit. I thought it was kind
of funny.

Speaker 3 (58:10):
But then I was like, but that's why didn't you
bag on mister bear person. So yeah, I took some
offense to it.

Speaker 1 (58:18):
Do you still have your pillow person, and did you
keep it?

Speaker 2 (58:21):
Or so? I did keep it, and.

Speaker 3 (58:27):
It my dog had like ripped the arms and legs
off of it this whole long time ago, and I
was so bummed out. And then I found one on eBay,
so it wasn't the exact one, but I found another
pillow person and I bought it. So I've had it
just to keep it with all my other full house stuff.
And when I just moved, we just moved homes and

(58:49):
we packed everything up and someone else, I don't want
to throw anyone under.

Speaker 2 (58:57):
The bus val.

Speaker 3 (59:00):
But he was throwing like lots of stuff into the
bin and a one of those bath bombs, it's like
a salt bomb was in that container with my pillow
person and it sat in storage for like a year
before we and we just recently opened it up and

(59:22):
the salt deteriorated. Everything in that bin. I think there
must have been moisture that got in there, and so
that whole pillow person was just it deteriorated it and
it was all moldy and disgusting and gross, along with
a whole bunch of other things.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
So it's kind of bummed out.

Speaker 3 (59:40):
So no more. I've had two pillow persons and now none.

Speaker 1 (59:45):
Did you just have bad luck with with pillows?

Speaker 2 (59:48):
With pillow people.

Speaker 1 (59:52):
Dave's Dave's dog also ate mister Woodchuck's face off, So
what is going on?

Speaker 3 (59:57):
Dog?

Speaker 1 (59:57):
And you know this is we're gonna have to get
We have to get another pillow person.

Speaker 3 (01:00:01):
That's gonna be right now. I have to look at
eBay or we might need to create more pillow people.

Speaker 1 (01:00:06):
Yeah, yep, I'll get to sewing version.

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
Yeah, me too.

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
So the girl's storm into Michelle's room, where Michelle is
still in her crib. DJ tells Michelle to pick a toy.
Then she proceeds to play up mister Bear to make
him seem more appealing, and Stephanie does the same, trying
to influence Michelle to pick the pillow person instead. DJ
insists she doesn't want this boring square person Michelle watches
her sisters intrigued. Steph holds mister bar away from her

(01:00:33):
in disgust. He's much better than this, disgusting me, yucky
old bear, and then she yanks mister Bear close and whispers,
I'll explain later. Jesse picks up Michelle and takes her
out of the crib. He explains, if you get one
of these toys, you're gonna have to act like a
big girl because these are big girl toys. Capiche, and
Michelle nods capiche. She examines the toys and then decides

(01:00:56):
her best course of action is to do Aenie Meanie
miney mo. She finishes and declares, I picked mister Bear,
and DJ squeezes her pillow person tight, saying thank you,
thank you, thank you. Do I just I have such
a image in my head like that, thank you, thank you,
thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:01:13):
I know, and Bob and Dave always made fun of
it too, thank you that you, thank you you, thank you,
so I thought cut No, they like in a loving
and endearing way, but it's like I can't ever say
thank you without saying it three times. Thank you? Think
you think?

Speaker 1 (01:01:29):
It was like DJ's upset, like there's all there's all
they're always making fun of it and thank you, thank you,
thank you's one of them.

Speaker 3 (01:01:35):
I love it. DJ's upset.

Speaker 1 (01:01:38):
Stephanie squeezes mister bear tightly and solemnly says goodbye, old friend.
She hands her beloved mister Bear to Michelle.

Speaker 3 (01:01:47):
That hurt, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:01:49):
Michelle smiles at the bear and greets him, Hello, new friend,
and she gives him a hug. Jesse tells Steph he's
proud of her. Steph forces a smile. If it makes
Michelle happy, I guess it was worth it. She walks
out of the room and we hear her cry out
in the hallway, what have I done? Jesse directs his
attention to Becky, who's sitting in the rocking chair with Tony,

(01:02:10):
and meanwhile we see Michelle is sneaking back into the
crib with mister Bear. Jesse is unaware of this, so
he proceeds to boast to Becky, well, I guess I
took care of that, and Becky says turn around. Jesse
sees Michelle back in her crib and he tells her
to get out of there. Stephanie comes storming back in,
saying she's back in the crib. If she's still acting

(01:02:31):
like a baby, this deal is off. She demands to
get the bear back. Michelle protests no, and she squeezes
the stuffed animal against her. Then Tony begins to cry.
Jesse uses this as an escape, saying he'll go get
a bottle for the baby. As he walks out of
the room, he tells Becky, hey, take care of this,
will you. Stephanie grabs mister bhar and tries to yank

(01:02:51):
him out of Michelle's arms. She begs, give me mister bear.
Michelle refuses to let go, and she shouts his name
is Willie stephis flabberg acid you changed his name, and
Michelle gives her.

Speaker 3 (01:03:05):
A thumbs up. You got it, dude.

Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
So many catchphrases in this scene.

Speaker 3 (01:03:09):
You got kapte curious.

Speaker 1 (01:03:11):
Thank you, thank you, thank you, you got a dude
like there's cram and as many in as they can think.

Speaker 3 (01:03:16):
This was a little a little brady of Michelle, though,
when she wouldn't give mister bear back, I was like, ooh, yeah,
now now I didn't feel sad for Michelle anymore. I
was like, this is ratty because that was the deal.
She had to act like a big girl in order
to keep mister Bear.

Speaker 1 (01:03:30):
Well, I'm blaming Jesse for this because I'm like, first
of all, why are you deciding between the pillow person
and mister Burr?

Speaker 3 (01:03:36):
Can we get a new toy? Please? Can we get
a new stuffed animal? I thought that too, and until
I was like, okay, DJ's the one that suggested it,
because you just wanted to spite Stephanie. But it's true.
They it should never have been mister Bear or the
pillow person.

Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
Right, and he should have waited. He gave her the
toy first and then said you have to act like this.
You don't do that.

Speaker 3 (01:03:58):
They have to. They have to do It's a big girl.

Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
First, yes, and then get the reward. So yes, she
has no motivation to be a big girl now she's already.

Speaker 3 (01:04:05):
Got mister Bear.

Speaker 1 (01:04:06):
So I'm like, this is yes, Jesse really missed the
mark in this episode.

Speaker 3 (01:04:10):
I'm just saying so.

Speaker 1 (01:04:13):
In the kitchen, Jesse's getting the bottle ready for Tony,
Danny walks in with comet. Danny proudly announces, you're going
to be so proud of this dog, and you're going
to be proud of me too. The instructor told me
how to control Commet. He brags about this, the relationship
between a dog and his master can be a beautiful thing.
He takes off Commet's leash and commands comment to lie down,

(01:04:33):
but Comet runs away instead. Jesse changes the subject. He
tells Danny about this problem he's having with Michelle. Danny
siys or a kid. How did you handle it?

Speaker 3 (01:04:44):
Jesse shrugs.

Speaker 1 (01:04:45):
I told her to straighten up and start acting like
an adult, and Danny smiles. And when that didn't work,
what did you do? Jesse mentions the reward tactic, and
Danny's shocked. You tried to bribe her. Jesse tells him
not to cheapen it. Then he earnestly tells Danny what
to do. Danny suggests if he wants Michelle to act
like a big girl, he needs to talk to her

(01:05:07):
like she's a big girl, in words she'll understand. Jesse
gives him a thumbs up and mimics his niece. You
got it, dude. In Jesse's room, Jesse tells Michelle it's
time for a special uncle to nice talk. Michelle responds,
I'm not giving Willie back. She sits down on a
chair as Jesse sits next to her. He implores Michelle

(01:05:28):
to tell him why she's having a bummer of a day.
She pouts, you like Tony better than me, and Jesse
tells her.

Speaker 3 (01:05:35):
That's not true. You're my best pal. We go back
three years.

Speaker 1 (01:05:39):
Michelle argues, you gave Tony my room and my song.
Jesse admits I was only trying to be nice to
our new friend, but I should have asked you first
because I'd never want to hurt your feelings. Yes see, yes,
there we go Finally, bluem, we're moms. It took Jesse

(01:06:01):
twenty two minutes to figure this out, so Jesse picks
her up and brings her to sit down with him.
He tells her, you make me laugh, you make me smile,
You make me feel good about caring about somebody. Michelle questions,
I do that, and Jesse responds, yeah, you do that.

(01:06:22):
He grabs her tiny hand and assures her you and
I are going to be together forever, and Tony's leaving tomorrow.
Michelle can't hide her enthusiasm. He is and Jesse laughs,
yes he is. And I want you to know something.
There's going to be a lot of people that come
in and out of my life. But you're always going
to be number one. You're my best pal, my buddy,

(01:06:43):
my sidekick. And you want to know why because I
love you very very much, and Michelle asks how much.
Jesse decides to show her. He opens his arms wide
and says that he loves her this much, and Michelle
gasps wow.

Speaker 3 (01:06:58):
Jesse asks how much do.

Speaker 1 (01:06:59):
You love me? Michelle reaches out her arms as white
as they can go this much. Jesse realizes, Hey, our
arms are open, so we have to hug. He squeezes
her and gives her a big kiss, which makes her giggle.

Speaker 3 (01:07:12):
This is so It's so sweet, sweet like their chemistry.

Speaker 1 (01:07:17):
They're like, it's so real, like this is not Yes,
I loved it so much.

Speaker 2 (01:07:23):
Me too.

Speaker 1 (01:07:24):
Then Steph walks into the room. She addresses Michelle, I've
been thinking about it, and you know you might need
that bear more than I do, so have a nice
life with mister Bear. Steph's face sours when she realizes
her mistake. She corrects herself, I mean Willie. Michelle walks
over to mister Bhaer and tells Steph, here you can
have mister bear, and she hands him.

Speaker 2 (01:07:45):
Right back to Steph.

Speaker 1 (01:07:47):
Steph can't believe it. She responds Michelle, I love you
so much. And Michelle is very proud about this. Everybody
loves me. Steff kisses her cheek and walks off. Michelle
touches her cheek and calm.

Speaker 3 (01:08:00):
That was a wet kiss.

Speaker 1 (01:08:02):
She walks back towards Jesse and he stands saying, hey,
I'm hip. It picks her up. He commends Michelle on
her choice to give mister beher back to Steph and
he carries her back into her room as she nip.

Speaker 3 (01:08:15):
Yeah, I have to acknowledge Stephanie here because it is
so I want to say, typical for middle child, but
was so sweet and kind of her to say, like, okay,
you can actually have Willie or mister Bearer. That was
so grown up for Stephanie to do. Yeah, I just
think about my kids like my you know, middle child

(01:08:38):
is the most sensitive and caring in that kind of way.
So Stephanie was. It was such a good moment for her.
But she doesn't get recognized for her good deed. No,
I'm giving it to her right now. That was so
grown up of Stephanie. She was willing to art with
mister Bear for the betterment of her little sister.

Speaker 1 (01:08:59):
Yeah, that was huge, That was so much. And she's
what I think she's eight years old at this time.
Like that was a massive for it. That'd be hard
for anybody.

Speaker 3 (01:09:06):
If any old. Yeah, I know you're right.

Speaker 1 (01:09:10):
She did not get enough kudos. I'm glad you gave
her kudos today.

Speaker 3 (01:09:13):
Totally so.

Speaker 1 (01:09:16):
In Michelle's room, Becky's with Tony. When Jesse and Michelle
walk in, Becky asks Jesse, how.

Speaker 3 (01:09:22):
Did we do?

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
And Jesse smiles. We did pretty good, didn't we? He
asks Michelle if she'd like to make friends with Tony.
She nods, yes, I would, Tony, you're a nice baby.
I Meanwhile, Tony is completely distracted by the stage lights
above him and can't stop staring upwards.

Speaker 3 (01:09:39):
Do you remember the old do this?

Speaker 2 (01:09:41):
It's the mic Yeah, the booms, it's the boom.

Speaker 3 (01:09:44):
Yeah, it's the boom and the lights. Totally funny.

Speaker 1 (01:09:48):
So Jesse encourages Michelle to give Tony a kiss. She
leans in and kisses the baby's hand. Becky is beaming.
She tells Jesse one day you're going to make a
great dad. Oh, he responds, give Jesse a kiss, give
him a kiss. She kisses him, and he exclaims, oh, yeah,
have mercy. He places Michelle on the floor and directs

(01:10:10):
his attention to Tony. He asks, Tony, can you say
have mercy? Tony is silent, so Jesse says, you'll say
it someday. Becky laughs. As Jesse places the baby back
in the crib, Michelle softly says good night, Tony. Jesse
picks her up and tells her how sweet she is.
They begin to walk out, but Michelle has one more
thing to say to the baby. You're going home tomorrow.

(01:10:33):
Remember the crowd laughs. We see Tony in the crib,
who lets out a little laugh as well. And that's our.

Speaker 3 (01:10:39):
Show, ladies.

Speaker 2 (01:10:40):
And it was such a cute episode. I loved this one.

Speaker 3 (01:10:46):
I'm so glad it was.

Speaker 1 (01:10:48):
It was very cute, and like I mentioned before, it
was it was such a good Michelle centric episode because
the girls have really risen to the occasion. Yeah, and
it feels so much more natural now, not just like
she's mimicking like that's it's really good. You can carry
this whole episode.

Speaker 3 (01:11:06):
Like she did. And this episode reminded me of what
full House is all about and why it's never been
off the air in over thirty five years. Yeah, yeah,
this was a great example, very very good example. And
I do want to point out one thing that Jesse did.
I love how Jesse went to Stephan DJ to help

(01:11:28):
solve the problem of what the reward should be. And
that's another thing that makes Full House so unique is
that it's not just like, you know, the dad knows
everything and.

Speaker 1 (01:11:36):
He's telling it to the you know, it's like the
adults go to the girls for advice. The girls got
the adults, the guys even they go to each other.
It kind of flips offs who knows what to do
in any situation, and there's this real like equality amongst
the family members.

Speaker 3 (01:11:51):
And I'm glad you've wanted that out. It's true that's
helped me and my parenting in that when sometimes I
don't know how to talk to one, I go to
the other two just say help me relate to that
one because I'm clearly not the same age and give me,
give me some help. But it's a brilliant parenting tool.
So again, timeless.
