Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:18):
So I'm forgetting something because I'm on top of things,
like everything's already set up. I didn't forget to open
a window, Shoin the clubs so clear. It's clearly wasn't
on top of things this morning. But that's perfectly. That's
just that's just a Thursday.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Because I forgot that we were recapping our show and
another show after this, and I didn't watch that show
until about fifteen minutes ago.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
So what did you watch? I watched The.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Boy Meets World pilot and it was great. How was it?

Speaker 1 (00:48):
That's right?

Speaker 3 (00:48):
I forgot.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
I thought we were just doing that one, and then
we were like, okay, we're not, like it was gonna
be like one that we were doing the one and
it was switchback, and then we were like any more
than that, and it feels like it's a whole separate show,
so let's just try it.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
But yeah, yeah, no, I'm sure there was.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
I'm sure I participated in many emails about this.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
I'm sure it was.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Actually my idea was me actually going, I don't know,
this feels.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Like a whole show.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
So I'm really glad that I did the thing that
I said that we weren't gonna do you're.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Doing the family. Yeah, I didn't over prepared for something
we're not even pre well yeah, yeah, well that'll be great.
You can you can improve that. That's fine.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
I'll be fine.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, no, that I'm I'm not worried about improving about
our book.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
If I had to.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
I was watching somebody else's show. It's adorable, by the way.
I do want your review at some point. But I
figured the one off just because we've done so many podswaps,
was like, we had kind of let that roll.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
We can do one off.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
But I think it would be a fun I.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Think just a one off if we do it like
as an exchange, because we've done Look, we've done podswaps,
but we've.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Never done pilot swaps.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
So and they can watch maybe the full House pilot,
and we can watch The Boy Meets Swirl, and maybe
we can do a little crossover cross promotion sort of.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
I almost went cross promotion.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Not I don't do that, don't no, no, no, that's
what I meant.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
That's a that's a different type of more views.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
No, but.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Oh god help me.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah, I think it might be a cute little like
cross promotion sort of thing.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Though, oh gosh, that's all of that panic.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
I bought episode for a dollar ninety nine because I
couldn't find its.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Financially invested in this?

Speaker 1 (02:30):
Okay, wall does that mean I have to buy it
for one ninety nine? I thought it was on it's
on Disney Plus. Okay, Oh god, I didn't. I didn't
go on Disney Plus. I thank that you're supporting there is.
Danielle got two cents of that, so she thanks you.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
This is my brain.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
This is my Peter Griffin. You know what grinds my
gears rant for the day.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
What's that?

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Which is that there's no place to like search all
of the yeah things?

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Is there?

Speaker 2 (02:58):
I mean I guess maybe on like an Apple TV
where you can apple you feel like even.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Then I don't get all of the you know what
I mean?

Speaker 1 (03:05):
I just wish. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Maybe it's me.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
No, I'm sure it is easy, and I'm sure I'm
making it hard because that's what I like to do.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
But accurate. However, I agree with you on this one
because Michael does that. He's like, you can just search
on the Apple TV and it will search all of
the apps. Right, But it's so I don't like the
way they've organized it. It doesn't It doesn't translate in my brain,
so I just end up googling it. Just google it
and it'll tell you which platforms it's on, whether it's
Prime could have done that plus or something.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
That's what I look I was in.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
I was in such a panic this morning that I
thought that I missed something.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
I was just a going for whatever I did.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah, basically I watched the wrong episode for recap and
I panic that I hadn't watched it, And.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Yeah, A boy was right.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
We'll get to that story when we record that episode.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Needless to say, I am both.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Underprepared and over prepared at the same time, which is
an incredibly difficult state to be.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
And it's sort of like the Schrodinger's cat of preparedness.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
It is, it is both prepared and unprepared at the
same time.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah, Sweden, are you going to remember this in two
weeks though, when we record the episode, you're gonna have
to watch it again?

Speaker 3 (04:14):
No, No, I'll remember it. I'll remember it.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
It's in there somewhere, you'll access it. No, it was.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
It was actually very cute.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
It was.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
I can't wait to watch I can't wait to hear
your thoughts on it. But did you watch today? Did
you watch too much monkeys? Okay, boy? Did why? As
you watched the right full house episode?

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Was just gonna say, speaking of things, I have thoughts
about so many thoughts on this episode.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, I got a lot of thoughts too. I feel
like we still have more pre show chatter though, because
it's only been five minutes.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
No no, no yet, but it's just oh god, yeah, well
you know what it is.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
We were, we were, we were.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yammering on before this, and so I feel like we've
done so much pre show chatter because eight minutes of
it was unrecorded.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
True, I've been great. I loved the storm that we
had in La this week. It was fantastic. Really feels
like fall around here. I've still got my little foster
dog little right here. She's doing we're learning, we're potty training,
we're learning not to like she's a runner, so like
she'll bolt out the door and no, we got coyotes.

(05:22):
So she's just very different than Holly, and so I'm
not I'm not used to do dog that likes to choose,
a dog that wants to play all the time.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
But a dog yah yah.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Really I mean, you know, Holly wasn't young for a while,
and you know once they get to that older and
she's like, I don't.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
I just want to lay here. Well, Holly was I
understand he was six years old when I got her,
so she was already like way past the puppy phase. Yeah, yeah,
little we don't know. We think she's four, but I
don't really know. She acts like a party. So she's
got puppy energy regardless.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
Well she's a door's cute. Yeah, she's very cute.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
I know.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Yeah, we had a little dog party on here today.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
I know Rachel's got in the corner, so came in
to be the studio audience today. Yes, yeah, yeah, did
she get to Well what did you do during the storm?
She couldn't go for her walks?

Speaker 2 (06:11):
She was, oh, but yeah, exactly know we so I
took her out. It was you know, she woke me
up in the morning and it was pouring and I
was like, oh my god, I can't buy because right
and it's it's it's the outer coat of her would
be wet like underneath.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
It takes it would take a long time for.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Her to get soaked through, Like you to get this
dog fully wet is a nightmare.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
She's very absorbant because she's got.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
So much of that undercoat that you got to like
lift up hair and get in there to get to
like actually get her wet.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
So the outside coat isn't the problem.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
But she's got these little.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Beards on her arms, you know, those little weird sort.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Of hanging things.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
And then she doesn't have really long legs, so the
undercarriage also has some some fringe, yeah, fringe, and so
she just get it's soaking wet, you know, and she gets,
oh god, I'm right, and I was like, great, but no, uh,
we did okay. She We went out very briefly when

(07:22):
it was not completely pouring, and we tried, I tried
to stay like just a little bit.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Under the trees on my street, and then we ran back.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
She was like, this is awesome. She would have splashed
in every puddle that she could have probably laid down
in one, but yeah. Then the rest of the day
I just kept you know, she would like start bugging me,
and I would go to the back door and have
a conversation with her because the dogs understand those yes, right,
And I would open the door and I would point
to the rain, and I would say, look it, you can't.

(07:52):
You don't want to go out in this, and she'd
kind of look outside and then she just lay by
the door. So I was like, Okay, maybe you understand
she's very smart, you know, yes she is, and uh,
well sometimes I actually think she's smarter than she acts.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
I think she's so smart that she.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah that she's like act well, I think she just is. Uh.
We're like, oh, she doesn't listen, and it's like, no,
she doesn't want selective selective listening. Yeah, it's exactly what
it is. It's like there are other times when you
do it and she's like, yeah, you know what, I
could go for that, Like sure, i'll come over and
see what you're up to when you call me.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
But sometimes she's like no, not here for the time.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Yeah, no, she's so cute.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
But yeah, the storm was amazing. I definitely uh was
going on a few walks that day and yesterday where
I was like, oh, it's full.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Yeah, yeah, it's throw me a pumpkin spice latte and
have you.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Had one yet? I've not. It's almost what do you
want to know? Before?

Speaker 3 (08:49):
Well, we was so we had a little warm stretch.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
It's true and supposed to get warm again.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
I feel like so yeah, but it was this is
chilli last night. I'm sure everyone's thrilled. THEO was talking
about the weather.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
There were a lot of fan aritos that chimed in
and said they like cold pumpkin spice drinks, cold frappuccinos
and things.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
I was like, can we even call more? More power
to them? I am I am.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
A purist in that way. Well, to be fair, some
of these fans were in Australia, so it's there's right now.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
So it's like they get a past a pass if
it's so weird to have. And I'm saying this, I
live in La. Hot Christmas.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Shut up? You have a hot.

Speaker 3 (09:35):

My air conditioners on every definitely, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
Never mind but that Yeah, no, it.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Would be strange ish if it was like a hundred
and something degrees, that would be weird. It's usually yeah,
that would be here in La.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
But I guess if that's always what you're used to,
it wouldn't be.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yeah, but they don't. But they don't do fake snow,
like all the fake snow patches and the.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
Right about white Christmas. Who's singing White Christmas?

Just shod the spelling be episode last week.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
That's hysterical, Yeah, exactly, So she's yep as usual. But yeah,
she is one of the leads in it. So we've
had some emotional roller coasters of panic and excitement and
all the rest.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
The drama. The drama, Oh yes, the drama. The drama
homecoming over here. We had oh boy weekend, Felicity took
a boy for the first time. She's going to strangle
me for talking about this on the air, But yes,
she has a little boyfriend, although she's not calling him
her boyfriend because he hasn't officially asked her yet, right, right,

(12:01):
You don't want to jump about like the order of
things he has to ask her, although he's calling her
his girlfriend. So I don't I don't understand where that
we're exactly they stand.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Well, chances are someone hasn't been paying a right probably.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
My kid yea, but yeah, I know. It was so lovely.
She was so nervous. But if we took the pictures,
we went to the disorganized let's meet at this lake?
Oh wait, no, not this like that park? Oh wait,
that's the wrong entrance. Where do you park? Where cand
I find you? I love it, like I love all
the stress, all the right yelling at the parents. But
then they can't wait to see the pictures out of there,

(12:37):
like send me the pictures I need to post. And
so I'm like, yeah, yeah, now now you're appreciative of
me being there for the pictures.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
She has such a good time and it was very sweet.
Her last high school homecoming a little bittersweet. But that's okay.
We still have prom to stress about.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
You've got that too.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
At the end of the day.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Start shopping now, right, It's yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
The dress shopping is like a it's a it's like
the Hunger Games. Really, it's survival, notiney six months to
recover from hoko shopping to get ready for prom.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Dress shopping, right, and mine always like to wait till
the last minute.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Why did always do that?

Speaker 3 (13:18):
Every time?

Speaker 1 (13:19):
I keep thinking they'll get tired of the stress. She'll
get tired of the stress of like, oh my gosh,
it's the night before and I don't have my outfit. No, no,
they never learned. They're like goldfish forget a second later. Well,
I'm not going to be too mad at that. Som No,
but you could you plan ahead like you've learned now
that you have to plan your ouse to happen at

(13:43):
some point, Get me ready for this event and then yeah,
I mean you schedule an appointment at least hold on what.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Let me get ready for an event, says the person
who didn't prepare for the episode today.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
So that's why all you have to do is call Shannon,
your stylist, and hey, I have an event on this day.
Tell me what to do and where does show and
what to put on and how to button it? Oh yeah,
that's yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Wearing things is not left up to me, right, because
otherwise it would be sweats everywhere?

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Yes, so comfy. You love my sweats. I'm in my
sweats right now.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
I have my cute little skull sweaters for Halloween.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Until it was I thought it was either like poodles
or oh yeah, no, it does weirdly like a poodle.
If I fold my ear, yeah yeah, not poodles. I
would have poodles on my shirt. But you have skulls, right,
that's more appropriate.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
Well you could, we could compromise and have poodle skulls,
you know.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
No, no, not poodle skulls, just poodles.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
I'm not saying I'm gonna do anything the boodles. I'm
just saying, if we, you know, meet in the middle.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
Have you seen I will say though, I have seen
a lot of people decorating for Halloween, and a lot
of people have like the cute little animal like skeletons
now with their little people skeleton.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Animals like lions. I don't know, I'm not on that.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
They're like it like it's it looks like they're alive,
and they're like barking when they have a little skeleton friend.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
They're like, it's like haunted mansion.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
Okay, okay, sure, okay, it's not.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
It's not like like an actual a.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Very clear that it's not real.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
It's okay, okay.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
It's like a little brave family, a little graveyard family.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
Yeah exactly.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
And they're like barking up a tree, or people pose
them or do so.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Yeah, yeah, no it's not.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
It's not as morbid.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
As your thinking.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Okay, I mean at least the ones that I've seen.
You could go either way.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
I actually do have a small little thing tipped over
and sort of torn to pieces in front of my werewolf.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Oh you do?

Speaker 3 (15:43):
Oh yeah, we yeah, it looks like he went on
on the attacks.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Werewolf is still a howling strong over there. Huh oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
I have turned his volume down a little though.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
Did the neighbors complain?

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Uh no, I just when it was lovely and I
had the windows open.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
For some reason, the censor goes.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
Off all day. I don't.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Yeah, so I like turned him to the whole.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
But anyway, at some point I was even like in
the backyard, and I was like, I hear that.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
And now one more time I'm gonna lose.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
So I went on that.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
I was like just so yeah, now you can still
hear it now, but.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
It's a jar les.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Come Halloween, I will I'll crank the volume and we'll
go you know where.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
We'll go all out. Do you remember you've been too
rich Correll's house on Halloween or Halloween right, our director.

Speaker 3 (16:36):

his one of his big Halloween parties. On the Halloween
previous he would do a big, a big Halloween party
and it was amazing.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (16:50):

Speaker 3 (17:05):
Like the figures that so realistic.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yeah, his house as would be full of them and
it was not a small house, so it.

Speaker 1 (17:14):

actors to like go around scare people like this is
like hi, yeah experience.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Yeah, Terry, my makeup artist, Terry loves to go dress
up and scare people. Although they've moved now, so it
is over. That is no no longer well at least
no longer thing in uh Hancock.

Larry and and the rest of the gang.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
It was so much fun.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
We you know, we are just it's like we're you know,
as people in the entertainment business world. It's where the
worst people will go to it something like this, because
I feel like this story could have been a little
more here.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
Did you like that effect?

Speaker 2 (18:03):
I felt it wasn't flushed at right, and we were like,
oh god, we're so obnoxious, but you.

Know there were, but it was really the point that
we go.

I mean, I think Teddy Larry have gone for like
eight years. I think I've done like four or six
or something, and h yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
So it's just it's an excuse for us all. We
call ourselves the Delusionals and.

hugs and told them hello from I did, I did,
I did. I do miss Larry very much, but I
don't miss Halloween horror nights. So I'm very happy for
you that you got to experience something scary and horrific. Uh.
And I was in a plilot.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Well yeah, you know thyself, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, that's not what you.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
Gotta know when to when to hold them and when
to fold over whatever it is, you know.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
It's yeah, well speaking of them, should we uh, should
we talk about them?

Speaker 3 (19:07):
Shall we? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (19:07):
No, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah, because now we're at nineteen minutes. We went, we
overshot the mark shot tarn it.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
That's it, right, Who knows, Manny might just cut all
of this out and be.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
Like, welcome back to it was, Hey, welcome to Howard.
Santa Rito's we saved you from fifteen minutes of nonsense.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah, you're welcome, Fan Urrito's Welcome back to Howard Tanartos.
I am Andrea Barbera and I am Jody Sweeten. And
today we're discussing season five, episode eighteen, Too much Monkey Business.
Oh oh oh, way, here we go. It originally aired

(19:49):
February eleventh, nineteen ninety two, and it goes little something
like this, Danny's zoologist sister pays a visit with her
pet chimpanzee. What more do you need to know? That
is that is a thing that we did as a.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
Chimp in this hum that's episode around this was.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
This was this was worse than I remembered, but anyways,
we'll get there. It was directed by Joels Wick, it
was written by David Pollock, and we have one excellent
guest star. We have Darlene Vogel as Wendy Tanner. We
had a lovely interview with her a few weeks back,
so make sure you've already listened to that. She was
best known for her role as Spike in Back to

(20:33):
the Future. Part to an iconic role, and many people
also know her as Officer Kelly from Pacific Blue. Fantastic actress,
Great human Beings.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yes, she's just a great person.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
This is her first of two full house episodes. She'll
be back in the next episode as well. Look forward
to next week. So there's no teaser, we go straight
to the credits. I still miss that.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
You've got a chimp waiting.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
You can't waste any time on no time for teasers.
The chimp is waiting, and I don't want to keep
it waiting.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
So yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
In the living room, the doorbell rings and Michelle and
Danny both get up to answer it. Michelle is welcomed
with quite the surprise. There is a chimpanzee at the door.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
You never know it's either a horse front door.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
That front door is Narnia, you know what I mean, Like,
you open that door, there could be a horse, there
could be the beach boys.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
There could be some could be there could be any right. No,
Grandma's yeah, grandma's recast.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
Grandma's yeah, it's really you don't know what's coming through
that door. Horses, baby elephants, howling to get a baby
elephant in there.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
At some point, I'm sure we did feel like, I.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
Don't remember alliators, there was all sorts of things. So yeah, no,
it's it's a magical door, no doubt. Michelle's jaw drops
and she tells them one moment, please, I'll be right
with you. She shuts the door and exclaims, Daddy, there's
a monkey at the door, and Danny smiles. That's got
to be my sister. But Michelle does not understand your

(22:12):
sister is a monkey. Danny laughs and opens the door
to greet his real sister, Wendy and her monkey Ginger.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
Just from this beginning, I was like why, well not
even why.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
But I was like, this is it's it's giving. Uh.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
It was all I could think of was that, uh,
that that chimp documentary with the crazy lady on HBO
that was keeping the chimp in her basement, and she
kept and she lied to the court and said it
was dead, and then it wasn't. She just kept and
then she kept getting chimps and like, yeah, it was
a whole crazy or something. Yeah, And all I was
thinking was like, oh, it's just little Champion.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
It's a little short, Like if you haven't read the
synopsis of the episode, it's like, whoa this, we have
a chimp. There's a chimp.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
And even the synopsis it wasn't a synopsis, it was
just a sentence saying that there was going to be
a pitch.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
What more do you need to know? Yeah, it's a
little jarring. I feel like this was a nineties thing,
like between friends and friends.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
And it was before we went maybe that's not great
for that, right.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
I mean it's one thing if it's a golden retriever,
they live to please their owners and they're.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
They're they're man's best friend.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Yeahim chimps. Yeah, I don't know, it feels like it's I.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
Mean, they're fascinating, but for sure, Yeah, I just don't
feel like this is now one of those things that.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
You know, I don't know, and it's just sort of
it's just so out of left. Feel like, I I'll
write this down. We should ask Jeff why why the chimp?
And why now? Like that's what came first? Why not
the development of Wendy Tanner? Or they were like, we
need a chimp in the show. How are we going
to get the chimpion show incorporated Jenny's sister or was it, Hey,

(23:58):
we want to introduce Wendy Tanner. What's her deal? She's
a zoologist and loves this chimp. I want to know
what came first and then the chain.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
I also feel like as a zoologist, she would probably
be like, this chimp shouldn't be in a hot should.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
Be in a habitat. But what do I know about zoologists?

Speaker 1 (24:16):
She raised it from birth, I think, or from babyhood,
so she's I don't know, it's a I don't I
can't look. We got we got a whole episode episode
just think about it. Dissect this monkey, not literally, but
just to you know, break it down. So stephan dj
run up to the monkey and excitement, and Wendy assures
Danny the ginger is safe to be around.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
She explained, Yes, that's what they say, you have your
three or five year old child around a chimp.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
I have a problem with this when people like when
when dogs getting babies faces and the owners like the
dog is very gentle, and I'm like, yeah, until the
dog eats the baby's face off, and then it's.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
I just always like anything is an animal.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
It's an animal, right, I'm an animal.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
I broke my ankle and literally bit my kid on
the ground as she was next to me tremp because
I was in so much mony. You never know, you
never know, you could just in pain or in you know,
in a moment. It's but anyway, this.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
Is true, This is so true. I just have the
chim So Wendy goes on to explain I raised her
all by myself, from a little baby. I was studying
the chimpanzees in Uganda and found poor Ginger all by herself.
She sets Ginger on the ground and the girls wave
at her. Ginger happily waves back in response. I can

(25:34):
only imagine with the hell that was recording taping these episodes,
because first it's tedious to record the Olsen twins, who
are mimicking whatever Adria says off stage. Right right now,
you gotta wait for the chimo with whatever the trainer's
telling it to do.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
So I have a feeling because if you notice, like
most of the shots where the monkey's doing something, it's
just kind of tight on the on the chim. I
have a feeling we were all cleared out because if
you notice, we can't the kids cannot get near the gym.
We are sitting on the other side of the couche. Okay, yeah,

(26:12):
because for reasons, you shouldn't have children around you.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Right, Okay, that's fascinating. There's a reason for that. I
thought it was just a camera. No, it's for safety.
That totally.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
They're like, no, no babies, small children around really powerful
primates not a great.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Warner Brothers like, don't we don't have enough insurance for
this for the child actors being eaten by a chim,
right exactly, Let's just keep them safe. I agree with that.
Just have them go for John. Yes, John is always safe.
So Wendy gives her nieces a big group hug before
they all take a seat on the couch ginger included.
Stephanie begs her dad for a monkey, but Danny reminds

(26:54):
her of the house rule. No jungle animals allowed, let the.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
Monkey get on the couch.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Danny, I was like cringing, And I'm not even a
Danny Tanner clean freak.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
So yeah, he needs a chimp on their couch.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
I mean, I guess he's got little shorts and a
diaper around you, a blanket down those feet of bed,
right right.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
He's walking around barefoot. So Michelle asks Ginger if she
can do any tricks, and first she asks, can you
do a monkey face? And Ginger responds with a lat
with loud monkey noises. Then Michelle asks, try a chicken,
and she flaps her arms and makes a chicken noise
to show the chimp how it's done. Ginger gives a
flawless chicken impression in return, flawless, flawless. Then Becky and

(27:38):
Jesse walk in holding hands, as all couples do walking
about in their.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
Living in their home, right right. I don't walk from
room to room with miss gall unless we're holding hands.
Who does that?

Speaker 2 (27:50):
Like this?

Speaker 1 (27:51):
Whatever? Okay? So Jesse quickly puts the puzzle pieces together.
A monkey, a girl with blonde hair. It's gotta the
jungle girl. He gives Wendy a big hug and then
introduces her to Becky. Meanwhile, Ginger squirms her hand into
Jesse's pocket. Wendy introduces him to Ginger, and he nervously asks,

(28:13):
what's her hand doing in my pocket? I mean, I
know what it's doing in my pocket, but why is
she doing it? Words?

Speaker 2 (28:26):
I mean, I would be concerned as a dude, you know,
I'd be like, that's a little Oh. Those hands are strong,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (28:36):
I don't. You don't know what's gonna rip off.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
You don't got a hand in the pocket.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
You're a giant, chip, powerful animal, and you're junk is separated.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
By a thin piece of fabric.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Say, hey, that's that's not my chopstick. That's you know, like,
let's just cool it there, chapstick.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Well, okay, I would have compared it to something else,
but anyway, let's keep going.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Moving right along. Uh So, Wendy admits that's amazing. Ginger
is usually so shy with strangers. She must really like you.
Jesse awkwardly takes Ginger's hand out of his pants and
breaks the news to her. Listen, I'm not really a
monkey type of guy, and then he asks, Wendy, is
this thing tame? Wendy nods, yes, she's very well mannered.

(29:25):
On cue, Ginger jumps onto Jesse's back. Becky lets out
a laugh, and I think she got she has the
hots for my husband. Hey, Ginger, he's mine. Ginger shakes
her head no, but Jesse manages to get her off
of his back and onto the coffee table. Now, Danny wins,
I just cleaned the coffee table. Could somebody slide a

(29:46):
coaster under her or something. It's easier to clean the
table than the couch in my opinion. But okay. Wendy
grabs Ginger off the table and says, if you're that
worried about Ginger, maybe I should get a hotel. But
Danny insists, I.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Mean, you're bringing a chimp to someone's house. Honestly, I
would have apparently unannounced. Yeah, a hotel would probably don't. Well,
I don't know what hotels chimp policies are.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Yeah, they usually have, like even for dogs, they make
him pay a pet fee, and so yeah, who would.
I don't know what you do with a chimp. This
is why you don't have domesticated chimps, because it's not
like the pet hotels are going to take him and
so you travel with him and impose on your family
and have just a chimp running about. So it's yeah,
Wendy's in a pickle and she put herself there. So sorry, Wendy,

(30:36):
uh so. Danny insists that she stay at the house
and suggests that Ginger get a hotel instead. Then Joey
walks downstairs. He walks up to the monkey and jokes,
oh my goodness, Wendy Tanner, you little cutie. You haven't
changed one bit, and Wendy tells Joey that he hasn't
changed either. Joey says he's just kidding and asks for

(30:57):
a hug, but Wendy knows his antics. Why so you
can stick a sardine down my back? He insists, Hey,
I haven't pulled that bit since I was in the
eighth grade. If you're so worry about it, just give
me a little handshake. Wendy reluctantly does, and she ends
up pulling a prosthetic hand out of his shirt sleeve.

(31:17):
Joey is thrilled that his prank worked. Wendy just shakes
her head, you are so lame, and playfully hits him
with the prosthetic hand. This is flirting. In its finest, this.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Is well, I mean, apparently they haven't seen each other
and god knows how.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
Long since they were children. I guess, I don't know.
This is a thing.

Speaker 3 (31:41):
Just finding out he has a sister. Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
I don't think she's been mentioned prior to this episode. Well,
I gotta say his sister looks a little like Pam.
She does. It's a little you know what I mean,
than Danny does. Yeah, and she looks like the original
Claire Tanner, blonde Tanner from the from the pilot they
look similar to. So maybe Danny's the one that's like,

(32:07):
is he really? Is he really the father of the
girls idol?

Speaker 3 (32:10):
That's always been the fanfic.

Speaker 4 (32:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
So, but this flirting is this is heavy flirting.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Joey responds, I'm sorry, I saw you coming, So I
just grabbed the nearest fake hand I could find.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Wendy gets Also, I have to say everyone is remarkably
mellow about walking into a room and there being a
chimpanzee in it, just.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Like it's another Tuesday at the Tanner House.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
Yeah. I mean, when I have the slots one of
my living I was out of my mind. Oh, everybody
what nothing else was happening.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
It was all about the slow except for that. It
was all about that. You couldn't talk about anything but
the sloths, because.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
I wouldn't such a presents be having a normal conversation
with a chimp in the room.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
No, it's not time to catch up. It's like it's chips.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Don't pulling prosthetic hands off of things and flirting.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
It's a chip in the room.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
Talk about the gym, right, No, Joey's completely unfazed.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
He's just like, oh jumps and everyone's like, talk anyway, this, yeah,
this is normal.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
So Joey says, oh no, I already said that. Wendy
gets up in his face and challenges him, you want
to pick right up where we left off. Fine, I'm
calling your mom, and Joey sings back, see if I
even care? See if I even care. Danny plays peacemaker
and asks them to call it a truce, but as

(33:35):
they go to shake on it for real, they both
slip their hands away. Wendy turns to Danny saying, come on,
we got a lot of catching up to do. I
have a job interview at three at the zoo. Do
you think you can give me a ride. Danny can't
because he has to take promos at the station. He
suggests that Joey take her and he can try to
get across town without playing a trick on her. Joey agrees,

(33:55):
but first he has to empty his pockets of any
pranking material. He hands over his sneezing powder, whoopy cushion
and exploding tuna. I've got somebody.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
I've gotten franks so many times by the exploding you
know what, it's.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
The number one best seller on Amazon.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
Exploding or exploding tuna. That sounds you might miss a
digit or something. It sounds like something you wouldn't want
to keep in your.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
Pockets, you know what I mean? No, that's worse than
the monkey. Hand so over on the couch, Ginger climbs
into Jesse's lap. He questions the monkey, what are you
doing in my lap? Do I look like Santa Claus?
Stephanie teases, somebody's got a monkey crush. Ginger gives him
a kiss on the cheek and his face sours. I

(34:46):
got two words for you banana banaka banaka, oh God,
and miss banaka just.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
The tongue the serious shattering banocars all of your.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
Taste buds off. Yes, So she runs her hands through
Jesse's hair and Jesse warns, not the hair, watch the hair,
and we're out of that scene. So I think I
like this dynamic between Joey and Wendy, not because of
this pathetic flirting, but because it's one of the rare

(35:20):
episodes that remind us that Joey and Danny grew up
as childhood best friends. You don't see that very often.
Sometimes you wonder, why is this random guy living in
an alcove with a mannekin that's dressed like him, you know,
but this is actually it's like, oh, yeah, they were
best they were child growing up.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
So I'm like, okay, see, and Jesse also knows her. Yeah,
his sister in law, right, so yeah. I mean we've
never mentioned her once, but obviously everyone yeah knows her.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
Five years later. You don't need to talk about her.
It's her presence is just there. So so yeah, no, I.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
Agrove of this. How did she get from the Did
she take a plane? What's a chin policy on a plane?
I just ship to buy a town?

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Like is he in the cargo? I think you have
to go.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
I think you'd have to go cargo probably, But then
are you getting a cab at the airport to the
tanners with like, don't mind me and my chip, I
don't know you need.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
A car seat. I have so many questions about travel,
chimp travel. I feel like there has to be I
just feel like that.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
I feel like most I feel like most cab companies
because back in the day with cabs and not ubers
have some sort of policy against chimpanzees in their car.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
Yeah, I would think, especially in San Francisco. I'm sure
that's come up before. So there's got to be a
hard policy, a company policy about chimp. Yeah, yeah in
the cab. No chimps in the cab. Yeah, no, no
chimps in the cab. People, you just got to rent
your own car.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
But yeah, I did wonder that.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
I was like, oh, wait, we have got your incoming
information from a wedding.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
No, you cannot bring a chimpanzee on a plane as
a pet or emotional support animal, as they are prohibited
by most airlines and federal regulations like the Captive Primate
Safety Act.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
Wow, Oh, that's Fascina supposed to have a chimp, right right,
These are wild animals, crazy lady, and it's the documentary.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
It's not a thing you're supposed to do, but it's
really weird to watch on television.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
To watch this documentary tonight.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
The lady is out of her mind, well out of
her mind, and her hair is like three times the
size of her head.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
It's amazing, amazing.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
I mean, not for the chimp, but for entertainment.

Speaker 1 (37:28):
This is fantastic. This is prime time entertainment.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
Primate entertainment.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
My god.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
Next, So next in the girls room, Steph walks in
carrying a giant box. She shows Michelle that it's addressed
to Tanner. Michelle demands rip that sucker open. Steph explains
that the package may not be for her, but there's
only one way to find out, and that's by opening it.
Steph pulls a wooden mask out of the box and
Michelle asks what the heck is that. Stephanie thinks it's Africa.

(38:01):
She finds a note attached and reads it in a
low voice. I am nakata feed me, or a curse
will be brought upon your household.

Speaker 3 (38:09):
Enjoy.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
Michelle asks what a curse is, so Stephanie explains it's
a magic spell that brings a bunch of bad luck.
Michelle nods, we better feed him, but Steph insists there's
no such thing as magic spells or curses, so we're
not going to have any bad luck on cute.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
You don't know that Steph would believe that though, because
she was very much into the Menahoney, that's right, you know,
I think I think Steph. Well, we do find out
that she is still a little Yeah, yeah, she's just
trying to be the big sister.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
I guess. Yeah, yeah, that's true. But she does seem
to have like this, you know, mystical like she she
believes in you. So yeah, that does seem a little
out of character, but that's right. This storyline has to work,
so we're going with it. To work. The Nikata has
to work kim in.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Which also we're not even gonna touch that with a
ten foot pole, the entire like, what is it?

Speaker 3 (39:03):
Why is it an African mask?

Speaker 1 (39:04):
Why is it? I don't this was such a weird Again,
I need to ask Jeff why, why, what where did
this come from?

Speaker 3 (39:13):
Which service of setting her up as a world traveler.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
Oh so she got a weird souvenir in Africa and
had it shipped to Danny's house.

Speaker 3 (39:22):
We just we haven't we blew the entire episode.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
Sorry spoiler alert, I'm so sorry. Fanta Rito's now you
know what happened to get canceled. We're getting cancer thirty
eight years later.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
Okay, well, anyways, moving along, get me right along?

Speaker 2 (39:40):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
Kimmy and DJ walk into the room, and Kimmy chirps,
hey squirt Reino's Michelle rolls her eyes. Gimbler's here. That's
very bad luck. Stephanie nods true, but it's not Nakata's fault,
it's DJ's. DJ ignores them and makes her announcement, Kimmy
and I are doing beauty makeovers, so the bath room
is off limits for the next three hours. Stuff quips

(40:03):
you're gonna need three years for Kimmy and breaks into
laughter at her own joke. Jimmy dramatically states, don't hate
me because I'm beautiful and flips her hair as she
walks out of the room and DJ follows. I was
mimicking that Pantine commercial with the model. That's the same, like,
don't hate me because I'm muted all the hair. That
was such a nineties Was it eighties? Yeah, it was

(40:25):
a nineties. I don't know. That was don't hate me
because I'm beautiful, Because I'm beautiful.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
That was That was.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
That was like some sort of perfume commercial. It was Zantine,
it was. It was shampoo. Was a sham, yeah commercial.
I can't remember. It was the eighties or the nineties,
but it was a it was iconic or whatever it was. Yeah.
So Michelle points to Nakata and says, this guy is
making me nervous. Stephanie assures her nothing bad is going
to happen, calling it a silly block of wood before

(40:53):
hitting it. In response, the masks eyes light up, and
a deep voice sounds feed me. A deep voice sounds
a lot like brides Our dialogue. The girls slowly crouch
down and peer at Nakata in horror. Michelle nervously tells
steph you heard the man feed him. Next, in the

(41:15):
living room, Jesse and Becky are doing baby aerobics with
the twins, but Jesse doesn't understand the point of it. Clearly,
here's forgetting how he did the baby aerobics with baby
Michelle in season one with the little him and Dan.
You were doing the aerobics.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
That was so cute, right, And I really feel like
tummy time would have been probably more.

Speaker 1 (41:34):
Appropriate, but for yeah, for three month old or however
old they are now, Yeah, yeah, do some tummy time.
But that's okay. Becky reminds him this will help the
boys develop their motor skills. They'll crawl earlier, walk sooner,
and who knows, maybe even potty train faster. Jesse enthusiastically
shouts double time and quickly moves his baby. Soon enough,

(41:57):
one of the twins starts crying, and Becky makes them
to go hit the showers. While Jesse is hunched over
and cleaning up, Wendy, Joey and Ginger walk in, and
Ginger instantly crawls on Jesse's back and he groans, Oh great,
the zoo crew is back. He tries to set the
record straight with the chimp. I hate to break it
to you, but it's over. I'm a happily married man.

(42:19):
There's nothing going on between you and me. But as
he gets up and tries to walk away, Ginger clings
onto his leg. Jesse continues to turn her down. I
can't hang out with you. You want to find a playmate,
Go find Michael Jackson. Oh yeah, bubbles, bubbles, yes, Mber Bubbles. Yes,
Michael Jackson had a chimp named Bubbles who was just

(42:42):
like his little sidekick who went around and did media
appearances with him and stuff. That was uh, that was wild.
That was a thing.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
That was Michael Jackson jack Yeah, after he died, I
guess Bubbles went to the Center for Great Apes Sanctuary
in Florida.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Oh okay, well, I'm glad to know.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
J I think is where they were trying to give
that woman. Make that woman give up her chimp too.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
But so interesting, I gotta watch this documentary. Ginger frowns
at Jesse's rejection, so he tells her, look, I'm sorry.
I don't want to hurt your feelings. You're a beautiful monkey.
You've got gorgeous eyes, really nice ears, and a winning personality.
It's just that you're too short for me. And with that,
he quickly walks out of the room. Joey and Wendy

(43:26):
take a seat on the coffee table, and Joey asks
if she's going to take that job at the zoo.
Wendy sighs, I don't know, but I do know that
I had a great time with you today. Joey nods, Oh,
me too. I hope I didn't drive you nuts with
all my animal voices. Wendy says she doesn't mind, and
even compliments his Tasmanian devil voice. No, Wendy, he's finally

(43:49):
showing someselfs right, don't do it.

Speaker 3 (43:52):
Don't make him do it.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
Yes, finally apologizing for his animal voices. And now you're
keep going, Yeah, it's like, you know, two steps forward,
three steps back, Wendy. So, Joey admits, I'm sorry I
played all those stupid tricks on you back when we
were kids. The truth is I really liked you, and
Wendy smiles. The truth is when I was a little girl,

(44:15):
I had a secret crush on you. Joey slyly responds, well,
what if I told you I had a secret crush
on you? Right now, Wendy lean's in for a kiss
and says, I'd say the secret's out and they kiss.
Ginger puts a hand over her eyes in embarrassment, and
I did the same. It felt so I was like, whoay,

(44:39):
so uncomfortable right now again again.

Speaker 3 (44:42):
Making out the living room, expecting things not to happen.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
I can't.

Speaker 1 (44:47):
I don't know if it's like it's if it's because
we grew up with Dave and bought unlic so it's
like weird. It's weird when they're making out.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
It's like your dad, You're like, oh my god.

Speaker 1 (44:59):
When your parents are making out. She's like, eh, like,
don't do that. And I still have that visceral reaction.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
Yeah, but literally, even John, you're like, oh right, gross,
it's just gross. That's what whenever you know, people will
always ask when I do Universe, did you have a
crush on John, you know, as a kid.

Speaker 1 (45:19):
I'm like, oh god, don't even say like that. Weird
so gross.

Speaker 3 (45:24):
I know.

Speaker 1 (45:25):
No, people don't get it. They just don't get it.

Speaker 3 (45:29):
So cute.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
Danny walking in and he exclaims, hey, you're back and
you're kissing. They awkwardly smile at Danny and he admits,
I don't know what to say. When you guys left here,
you weren't even friends. And now, boy, you are very friendly,
aren't you. And Bob is so great, like watching the
ting about what he says, it's you see the recognition, right, Yeah,

(45:52):
his face was great. So it's so funny. It's just
such a great delivery. Wendy Grins. Isn't it great? And
Joey chimes in, thanking Danny for getting them together. Danny
suggests that he and Joey get dinner ready while Wendy
rests up in his room. Wendy admits she is jet
lagged and asks Ginger if she'd like to take a
nap too, and Danny stops her, WHOA wait a minute,

(46:15):
I haven't quite monkey proofed the sheets yet. Joey then suggests,
don't worry, I'll take care of Ginger. I am a
monkey expert. I've read every Curious George book and.

Speaker 3 (46:26):
As a zoologist that should completely comfort her.

Speaker 1 (46:28):
And she's like, please take my wild chimps. She's done,
you know, postgraduate training on and then.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
She's like, oh, you know right, and also curious George
is a monkey, not a chip.

Speaker 1 (46:42):
Very different. They're very curious.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
George has a tails.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
Is that the difference?

Speaker 2 (46:47):
Okay, well no, there's I mean, there's they're an entirely different,
you know species, right.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
That's one way to tell is by the tail, the
tell tell tale tale him.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
Yeah, I mean chimps. Yeah, there's monkeys have tales and
chimps and don't do.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
They do the chimps have They just have butts or
do they have like a nub? They don't even have
a nub, they just have you.

Speaker 3 (47:09):
Have you ever seen a gorilla walking around from the
but what do you say?

Speaker 1 (47:13):
Do you remember a tabe?

Speaker 3 (47:15):
No, it's just a weird looking gorilla butt. Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
So the.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
So the video that Bob was obsessed with on America's
Spending his own video, it was a monkey.

Speaker 3 (47:24):
It was a monkey.

Speaker 1 (47:25):
It's a monkey that would scratch his butt and then
sniff it.

Speaker 3 (47:28):
And then I think, so I think it was a monkey.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
It must have been a monkey. Okay, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
Look, I'm not a primate expert. We should refer to
Wendy really or or Joey. Yes, But all I know
is is that yeah, is that those are Yeah? He says,
I'm a monkey expert, and you're like, well, well it
doesn't apply here.

Speaker 1 (47:46):
So I think there's a lot of toddlers out there
that are also monkey experts because they've also read all
the Curious George books. So Wendy then heads upstairs and
tells Joey, I'll see you later, you little Tasmanian double,
and they kiss. Joey growls and his Tasmanian devil voice
would she loves it must be an aphrodisiac. Like, I
don't get it. I don't know how he finds these

(48:08):
women that love these cartoon voices, but he managed to.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
Look, there's a there is a is a key for
every you know what I mean, or whatever the saying is.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
There's a it's probably a website for that too, you know,
like sure there's a subscription service. I don't know, so
what just you know, being attracted to animal voices. There's
an only fans Oh oh.

Speaker 3 (48:30):
Oh oh, I'm sure you don't have that is you know?

Speaker 1 (48:33):
I believe they're called furries. No, okay, oh yeah that's no.

Speaker 3 (48:36):
I'm just no, don't I was being I don't facetious.

Speaker 1 (48:39):
I don't that.

Speaker 3 (48:40):
Well, we're not going to get comment to the show
we're talking about.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
Let's take a commercial break. So Wendy heads upstairs and
Joey sits on the couch with Ginger to try and
get to know her. Danny asks they can talk, but
Joey tells him he's just trying to bond with the animal.
Danny argues, what you're trying to do is bond with
my little sister. Joey doesn't see anything wrong with that.
He reminds Danny, your sister happens to be a great girl,

(49:09):
and Danny scoffs. I wanted the two of you to
be friends. I didn't want you to try and make
a move on her. Danny tries to tell him it
wouldn't be a good idea, but Joey gets defensive. Danny,
I really don't care what you think. Okay, well, ouch,
Joey got defensive fast. I gotta say, like he went
from zero. The whole relationship has progressed very quick, very quickly. Well,

(49:31):
while they're distracted by this argument, Ginger gets off the
couch and heads upstairs. Danny is surprised by Joey's reaction
because they're best friends, but Joey admits, you're not being
my best friend right now. They continue to go back
and forth until Joey turns toward the couch and realizes
Ginger is gone. Joey raises his voice at Danny, why

(49:51):
don't you just mind your own business? Okay, you have
no right to tell me who I can date. Now,
if you'll just back off and get out of my way,
I've got a monkey to find him. Jimmy. Yeah, Danny
tries to stop him, but he won't listen. Joey runs
up the stairs and Danny follows close behind. Okay, what
do you think? Are you team Danny or team Joey?
Does Danny have the right to tell Joey that he

(50:13):
can't date his sister? That is a question at hand.
I mean, there's it's I'm.

Speaker 2 (50:21):
Kind of team Danny on this because it just feels
very sudden. It will be like, whoa, We've been friends
forever and you've known my sister. Right now you're making wall.

Speaker 1 (50:29):
Where did this come from? Yeah? Where'd this come from?

Speaker 2 (50:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (50:32):
Joey.

Speaker 2 (50:32):
But I also, you know, I feel for Joey because,
as we know, his romantic life has.

Speaker 1 (50:38):
Been lacking definitely black.

Speaker 2 (50:41):
Yeah, although he does again seem to find you know,
the see the pool of women who enjoyed the cartoon voice.

Speaker 1 (50:49):
I imagine it's a small pool too, so the fact
that he's fright doesn't have too many more he can go.
He's at the bottom of the list. Yeah, yeah, No,
I think I agree with you. In general, there's so
many fish in the sea. Why go for your best
friend's sister? Like, just find another girl. Joey. I'm like, yeah,
this might be his last chance.

Speaker 3 (51:07):
So you're like, I mean, you walk around with a
puppet on your way?

Speaker 2 (51:09):
You know, I can't you what are we I You're
not going to meet anybody out in the world like that,
you know, So you're gonna wait for them to walk
in with their monkey and be like you.

Speaker 1 (51:20):
I like you, yeah, hey, you know, whatever works for him.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
So up in DJ's room, Kimmy and DJ are relaxing
with avocado face masks on and cucumber slices over their
eyes and curlers in Kimmy's hair. DJ admits she's starting
to feel like guacamole, so Kimmy responds, mmm, let's scrape
this off with Dorito's. And these avocado masks were a
nightmare for continuity because they kept drying out right, because

(52:52):
they drew different colors. Makeup had to keep coming and
putting these masks on it, reapplying the masks very frequently
to keep it like that moist looking color. But yeah,
my face was just so cracked with by the end
of this. Yeah, because it was you know, the masks
of the nineties were not the They did not care

(53:14):
for our skin the way that they do today. Let's
just say that it's a desert style right.

Speaker 2 (53:19):
It was like, Oh, we're sure, we'll take things out
of your pores and we'll suck your entire poor out
with it too.

Speaker 3 (53:26):
Have you ever wanted to feel like you've been crossing
the sahara for three months? Try this? Try this face mask.

Speaker 1 (53:33):
We'll break your skin barrier and.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
Five second crack right open, Oh the nineties, and then
follow it up with a little ze breeze astringent and
you'll never feel your face again.

Speaker 1 (53:45):
Followed by banaka like the fact your entire head.

Speaker 3 (53:49):
Is going to be numb for the next six weeks. Yeah,
oh my god.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
Danny and Joey then come running in. Joey breathlessly asks
if the girls have seen Ginger and dj points out,
we can't see anything. Joey can't believe his luck. He
finally meets a woman he really likes and then he
loses her monkey.

Speaker 3 (54:12):
Well, that's such as all the time.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
Then Joey tries to push past Danny to continue his search,
but Danny suggests that they wake up Wendy instead. Joey
accuses Danny of trying to make him look irresponsible and
he storms away, but Danny insists, I just thought maybe
she knew a secret monkey call or something. DJ and
Kimmy remain unbothered as DJ announces one more minute and

(54:37):
will comb out your perm and shampoo in these special rents.
While they're lounging, Ginger sneaks into the room. She pours
a red liquid into a nearby bowl as DJ simultaneously states,
I hope you like the color I mixed for you.
It's very subtle. Kimmy responds, thanks, deej. I wouldn't trust
my hair to anyone but you, but DJ reminds her

(55:00):
she can't afford anyone but her. As they continue chatting,
Ginger mixes other concoctions into the bowl, but she scurries
out when DJ declares it's time to take off their masks.
Before the girls head out of the room to continue
their makeovers, DJ grabs the bowl that Ginger was messing
with and tells Kimmy, it's time to make you beautiful.

Speaker 3 (55:20):
Oh what good? There's a chimp doing science experiments. It
could possibly go around mixing chemicals.

Speaker 1 (55:28):
Chemicals, yes, yeah, but underage permit home.

Speaker 2 (55:31):
For the most of you that have never been around
anyone getting a perm, let me take you on a
little moment back to the late eighties early nighties. Oh yes,
ferms were big, big, big, yeah, and it was you
would put those weird little rollers in your hair and
then they would they would cover your head. You'd put
cotton around your skin because the chemical was so face

(55:57):
so strong that it would burn your skin as they're
putting it under your head, on your hair and on
your hair. And it smelled like a skunk. It was
really stinky and really chemically smelling. Yeah, and then you'd
sit under a dryer right to fry it, right to
fry it. And I remember sitting under a dryer a

(56:18):
little too long once and it just crispified my hair.
But yeah, the perms were stinky, they were a professional. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:28):
I was in I love. I'm so excited to get
my perm. I was so excited and then I couldn't
wait to straighten it like two years later.

Speaker 3 (56:36):
Right, yeah, oh.

Speaker 1 (56:38):
Gosh, good old perms. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
But again, there's a monkey doing science, mixing chemicalemical mixing chemicals,
unbeknownst right to the girls.

Speaker 3 (56:47):
Unbeknownst to Kimmy. Yeah, thank god she still has a scalp.

Speaker 1 (56:52):
Right, this is so true.

Speaker 3 (56:53):
This is the look what happens is the least of
what could have happened.

Speaker 1 (56:57):
This could have been in a lawsuit like the Tanners
could have been boy put under by the Gimbler lawsuit.
So next up in the nursery, the twins nursery, Jesse
is asleep on the rocking chair with Alex in his arms.
Becky tells her baby, isn't that precious? You rocked your
daddy to sleep? Now, can you burp him for me?

(57:17):
Jesse groggily opens his eyes and insists he's awake and
he didn't miss anything. Then he looks down at the
child in his lap and asks, when did we have
a baby? Becky takes the baby from Jesse's arms and
reminds him he was up all night with the twins.
She suggests that he take a nap, and he is
happy to oblige. He not so subtly suggests that she
join him and they can nap like they did on

(57:40):
their honeymoon.

Speaker 3 (57:42):
No, parent of three months old says, so they really
want the nap?

Speaker 1 (57:45):
Like do you want to get No, don't touch me,
you'll touch me. Twins. You need sleep. You need as
much sleep as you can get. So that's the priority.
But for some reason Becky is all in.

Speaker 2 (57:57):
She's like, nap like they did on their honeymoon.

Speaker 3 (57:59):
Do you see where it got us? What we're dealing
with now, that's how we got into this mess in the.

Speaker 2 (58:07):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (58:08):
She tells Jesse she'll be right there, and then she
makes an announcement to the twins. I want you to
go to sleep and if you wake up, just talk
amongst yourselves. In their bedroom, Jesse is fast asleep on
the bed and on cue, Ginger comes running in. She
hops up right behind Jesse and he smiles, Hi, Becky.
His eyes stay shut as he sniffs the air and asks,

(58:31):
is that new perfume? It's a walk on the wild side,
isn't it, Becky? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (58:36):
I feel like Becky and the chimp would smell very different, honestly,
Like this is this was talk.

Speaker 1 (58:43):
About suspending disbelieve. I mean it was very funny, but
this is this whole thing is like, come on, do
you remember when.

Speaker 2 (58:49):
We interviewed John and he talked about being terrified, oh,
of this monkey or of the monkey because they.

Speaker 3 (58:55):
Were like, don't look it in the eye because chimps
are dangerous.

Speaker 1 (58:58):
Seat again, but.

Speaker 2 (58:59):
They yeah, they were like, don't if you have to
interact with it. Like it has to get to know
you a little bit, but like, don't look at it
in the eye, don't smile at it, because that it's
a form of great Yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:07):
Wild, No, it's wild. And this was a lot of
physical interaction too, like the monkey is smacking him at
one point. That had to hurt monkeys, excuse me not monkeys.
Chimps very very aggressive and strong, and uh yeah, it
props to John for getting through this. Yeah. Uh So
Becky walks out of the nursery and beholds this unusual sight,

(59:31):
and Ginger is running her hands through Jesse's hair. Jesse wonders,
can't keep your hands out of my hair? Honey, honey,
huh oh, I love you. In reality, Becky is watching
this interaction and trying to contain her laughter.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
Ginger starts, nothing funnier than a chimp in your bed,
potentially assault in your husband. Yes, also again just such
normal reactions to running around loose in the.

Speaker 1 (59:57):
House, bey day right, this is just like there's a
chimp in the bed. What can't get over?

Speaker 3 (01:00:08):
How are about that?

Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
They're so blase all of just completely nonchalant.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
So Ginger starts to rub Jesse's shoulder and he sighs, Oh,
that feels good, honey, you know all the right spots.
Then Ginger starts to slap his butt over and over
and over again, and.

Speaker 2 (01:00:29):
Jesse is into it the rough. John is laughing so
hard to it's like he's trying to keep it together
and he cannot, which I get.

Speaker 4 (01:00:37):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
I was like I couldn't.

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
I was like, if there were a monkey spanking excuse me,
a chimp spanking me, I also would not be able
to keep the straight face.

Speaker 1 (01:00:45):
Like I totally I forgive him. There's no way to
get through this scene without laughing and breaking. So this
was probably the best take that they had.

Speaker 3 (01:00:55):
This is ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (01:00:56):
There's a chimp spanking him, so chimp will not stop
with the spanking, and both Lourie and John are both
laughing at this point. Jesse puts his arm around the
monkey and his eyes widen. He asks Becky, when was
the last time you shaved your back? He slowly turns
to find Ginger behind him, and he quickly jumps out

(01:01:19):
of the bed in disgust. He runs over to his
wife and shouts, I just made out with a monkey,
did you see that? And Becky laughs yes, and I
think I learned a few tricks from Ginger. She turns
him around and starts smacking his butt to prove it.
As she continues smacking him, Joey runs in. He comments, ooh,
I knew I should have knocked, and then he spots

(01:01:40):
Ginger and runs over to her. He motions for the
chimp to jump onto him, but she bolts out the
door instead. Joey throws his arms in the air. Why
won't that monkey give me a break? Becky responds, I
don't know, but if you talk sexy to her, she'll
nibble on your ear, and she grins at Jesse. Then
Danny runs in asks Joey to forget about the monkey

(01:02:01):
for a second, but Joey shakes his head.

Speaker 2 (01:02:05):
Wait wait, Danny had to have just passed this chimp,
yes on the stairs.

Speaker 1 (01:02:14):
Okay, the clean freak.

Speaker 3 (01:02:16):
They passed these They had to say excuse.

Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
Mees, Okay, they were that close.

Speaker 3 (01:02:21):
They had to And I could.

Speaker 2 (01:02:23):
Never in a million years picture Danny Tanner saying, can
you just forget about the chimp that's in my house
right now? And you need to have a conversation. This
is so out of character for any or any like. Look,
I don't care what you do with my sister. But
this monkey has gotta this.

Speaker 1 (01:02:41):
Gotta go. Priorities, Danny, prioritize, get the smelling chimp. They passed,
How do you do sir? On the stairs? Is just
another day at the Tanner house.

Speaker 3 (01:02:52):
Another day Tanner nobody concerned.

Speaker 1 (01:02:54):
They are nonplussed, and I am here for this. So
Joey shakes his head. There's nothing to talk about. You
already told me you didn't want me going out with
your sister. Joey walks out, and Danny follows after him.
Becky asked Jesse if he's ready for that nap, and
Jesse shivers, yeah, right after I take a bath, man,

(01:03:17):
maybe watch the sheet right, yes, please wash those sheets.
Back in DJ's room, DJ's back is towards us, towards
the camera as she says, I think I've done all
I can do. She walks to the side to reveal
Kimmy Gibbler with a mound of bright red curly hair.

Speaker 3 (01:03:36):
Thin curly is being generous. It was frizzy.

Speaker 1 (01:03:38):
It was like electric.

Speaker 3 (01:03:40):
It was a bad perm It was tears. Exactly what
it was.

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
It's exactly what happened if you had a chimp messy
with his chemicals before you poured them on your head, right, exactly, Yes,
that's exactly what happens.

Speaker 3 (01:03:50):
And this is this is a warning.

Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
This was actually the entire message of the show, which
was don't let don't let visiting chimps play with your
hair chemicals because you don't know what could happen.

Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
That's the lesson, that's the Tanks lesson.

Speaker 3 (01:04:02):
You know, we were teaching lessons out there that everyone
needed to know.

Speaker 1 (01:04:07):
Right, I'd love everyone unconditionally, you know, treat each other
with respect. Don't let chimps play with the chemicals that
go in your hair. Right, always about Ida, you know, Golden,
the cardinal rule. So Kimmy is beaming. She says I
can't wait to see it, and DJ's face sours. Trust me,
you can wait. Then stephan Michelle walk into the room
and their jaws drop. Kimmy confidently asks what do I

(01:04:30):
look that stunning? And Stephanie honestly responds, I'm definitely stunned,
and your reaction is so funny. Legitimately stunned, DJ tries
to rally some support, asking her sisters doesn't she look cute?
But Michelle does not get the hint, she shouts, you
look like Bozo. DJ assures Kimmy she means Francesca Bozo,

(01:04:56):
that Italian supermodel, but Michelle clarified.

Speaker 3 (01:04:59):
Don't lie to her.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
Honestly, you know what I mean. It's not like she's
not gonna find out right right, Michelle clarifies that she's
talking about Bozo, the one with the ball on his nose.
Kimmy asks DJ what she did, and steph answers, it's
not DJ's fault, it's Nakata's. He's cursed this whole house.
We gotta go feed him. Then Kimmy bolts out of

(01:05:22):
her chair and she yells, I gotta see my hair.
So DJ advises against it. Kimmy makes it to a
mirror and freezes. She responds, oh my god, as she
stares at her reflection and shock. DJ winceys, I'm so sorry.
I'll pay to have it shaved. Kimmy begins to smile. No,
I love it, and finally I'm one step ahead of Madonna.

(01:05:44):
And the best part is my mom's gonna freak out.
She gives DJ a big hug, and DJ's sighs in relief.

Speaker 3 (01:05:52):
I love Kimmy. Confidence is unmasked.

Speaker 1 (01:05:55):
Confidence needs to be studied because it is just.

Speaker 2 (01:05:59):
Bad.

Speaker 3 (01:06:00):
And give it to every middle and high school girl
because she she loves.

Speaker 1 (01:06:05):
Herselves herself, she loves being different, she loves being bold
and wild, and it pisses off her mom, and that's
just a bonus for her. I will say, though this
wig drove me crazy. I was gonna say, what was
it like with this?

Speaker 3 (01:06:17):
Give me, give me the details on this, because I
know this was that you hated it.

Speaker 1 (01:06:20):
Hated it well ahead of Vista. And it wasn't even
like I looked weird, because that's part of the bit, Like,
of course I look weird, weird, it's a weird wig.
But it was so itchy, like whatever synthetic material they got,
this whole synthetic This was a terrible like a terrible
cheap wig. You got it like party City for lads
or whatever. Uh So, yeah, no, only did it itch

(01:06:41):
and I had to just have it on for hours
and hours. But I was like I would take one
of those combs from from the Little.

Speaker 3 (01:06:48):
Rattail Calls and you get in the scratch my head
and then left. I had to wear wigs.

Speaker 1 (01:06:52):
I get it in there, like the more you think
about it, the more it itches, right, your head has
never scratched.

Speaker 3 (01:06:59):
More in your life.

Speaker 1 (01:07:01):
And then I was left with like this little rash
along my hairline for like the next day or two
because I had some of that cotton cotton. So, yeah,
the lesson here, don't let the chimp and mess with
your chemicals.

Speaker 3 (01:07:15):
Do not let chimps touch your hair chemicals.

Speaker 1 (01:07:19):
Very bad. Well, let's just cross stitch this on a pillow,
and I'm already working on it. Yeah, yeah, So next
in the kitchen, stephan Michelle have plates of food scattered
all around the table, with Nikata at the center of
it all. Stephanie is holding a hard boiled egg in
front of his mouth as Michelle asks how do we
feed him? Stephanie shrugs, he has no stomach, He's just

(01:07:42):
a head on a stick. And then Ginger comes moseying in,
but she exits just as quickly as she arrived. Joey
comes flying into the room, running after the chimp. Danny
follows behind Joey, begging him to come back. Stephanie says
hi to her dad, and he stops dead in his tracks,
asks what is she doing, and Stephanie explains with complete seriousness.

(01:08:04):
I'm trying to stop the horrible curse on this household.
Danny simply responds, oh, well, keep trying, and he continues
to chase after Joey. Then Wendy walks downstairs and admits, boy,
this is a tough house to take a nap in.
You no idea, you you have, no you will never

(01:08:25):
sleep again?

Speaker 3 (01:08:26):
What you speak?

Speaker 1 (01:08:27):
Yeah, there's no such thing as peace in this house.

Speaker 2 (01:08:31):
No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (01:08:32):
Naps have been had since nineteen eighty seven. Basically no.
She spots the wooden figure on the table and exclaims, hey,
my Nakata bank and stuff. Narrows her eyes. What do
you mean bank? Wendy explains, I bought it for my
tacky souvenir collection. Watch. She touches the top of the

(01:08:53):
wooden head and Nakata demands feed me. So Wendy puts
a coin into the top, and Nakata responds, thank you.
Have a nice day. Michelle lights up. You mean there's
no curse in Wendy giggles, No, it's just for fun.
Stephanie tries to protect her pride. See Michelle, you little
kids will believe anything, and Michelle just rolls her eyes. Oh, police,

(01:09:21):
it's interesting that she had something shipped there. Again, either
she's a really good planner, like did she plan when
she was in Africa or wherever she bought this?

Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
I mean she can ship into her house because now
she's got to take the bank take it back.

Speaker 1 (01:09:36):
She's got to get the bank on the plane. She
got chip on the plane. Yeah, no, she's got her.

Speaker 2 (01:09:40):
Hands definitely more than a carry on in a personal
lighte oh for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:09:44):
No, she's gonna have trouble. She's gonna have to rent
a car and drive herself home wherever. That is so
not a great planning by Wendy, But you're we are.

Speaker 2 (01:09:54):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:09:55):
Next to the girls room, Ginger is happily bouncing on
Stephanie's bed. When Joey enters the room, he tries to
get Ginger to come to him, but instead, the monkey
jumps over to the conveniently open window and hops into
the nearby tree. This chimp and that bird should get together.
They need to, yeah, form an alliance. How to drive

(01:10:18):
the Tanner's crazy. Joey pokes his head out of the
window and sees her lounging in the tree. He tries
to sweet talk her to get her back inside, but
the monkey doesn't move, so Joey crawls onto the tree
himself and assures her that there's nothing to be afraid of,
but instead of crawling toward him, she climbs to the
farthest branch away from him. Danny catches Joey on the

(01:10:40):
tree and asks what he's doing out there. Joey sarcastically answers,
I'm baking bread. What does it look like I'm doing?
In the meantime, gingers having a great time just swinging
on the tree branches. That probably feels more like home
for her, like on a tree.

Speaker 2 (01:10:55):
Where she's like's like, God, get me out of this
weird house with beds and furniture and like getting some nature,
some fresh dolphin.

Speaker 3 (01:11:03):
Shorts for God's sake, you know what I mean. It's chim.

Speaker 1 (01:11:06):
What's a chim gotta do to get some fresh air
around here, you know? Yeah. Danny reminds Joey that it's
dangerous and begs him to come inside. But joe now.

Speaker 3 (01:11:18):
Now that the gym's outside of the house, right.

Speaker 1 (01:11:21):
Oh my goodness, So Joey loses it. I am tired
of you treating me like a little kid.

Speaker 2 (01:11:28):
Danny argues, I don't you sleep and pajama sir, I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (01:11:34):
You have your.

Speaker 1 (01:11:40):
You've asked for it, you have.

Speaker 3 (01:11:44):
This is entirely your fault, right you do.

Speaker 1 (01:11:47):
You watch Saturday Morning cartoons more than the girls do. Yes,
people are going to treat you like a child.

Speaker 2 (01:11:54):
So uh.

Speaker 1 (01:11:56):
Joey puts his foot down and tells Danny, I'm a
nice guy. Wendy's a big girl. She doesn't need you
to protect her from me. As they're having the stock,
Ginger is slowly making her way back down the tree.
They don't see her as she sneaks into another open
window in the house. Danny tells Joey that he's actually
trying to protect him from Wendy. Joey's confused, so Danny.

Speaker 3 (01:12:16):
Explained, my god, what's what's wrong with Wendy?

Speaker 1 (01:12:20):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:12:20):
I was like what He was like, I'm trying to
protect you.

Speaker 1 (01:12:22):
I'm like, Oh, she's a secret, Oh my god, she is.

Speaker 2 (01:12:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:12:26):
Yeah, it gets dark the ru she's on the lamb.

Speaker 3 (01:12:29):
Right, you're in the gym.

Speaker 1 (01:12:30):
Yeah, Danny explains, I don't want you to get hurt.
Wendy is the kind of person. She's totally committed to
her work. She could pick up tomorrow and just wind
up halfway around the world. I've seen her break a
lot of hearts. Okay. Joey appreciates Danny's protective instincts, but
he's willing to take that risk for Wendy, so he

(01:12:51):
asks Danny to stop trying to be his dad. Danny nods,
I'm sorry. I got to learn to let it go.
He pats Joey on the show and jokingly tells him
he's turning into a fine young man. Joey smiles and asks, so,
would you just be my friend? Danny responds, I'll be
more than that. I'll be your best friend. Oh, this

(01:13:13):
is a very sweet moment in a tree dark in
a dream, right, so weird setting, but.

Speaker 3 (01:13:19):
I gotta say I was really proud of that branch
for holding me.

Speaker 1 (01:13:22):
Yes, that is an impressive branch tree y.

Speaker 2 (01:13:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:13:27):
So Ginger then appears inside and slams the window closed
so the guys can't get back in. They beg her
to open it, and she keeps psyching them out by
opening and closing it repeatedly. We can see the fourth
wall of the girl's bedroom through the race. I was
so weirded out by that, I'm like, it was so
weird to see that wall. I was like, wait it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:49):
I think it remarkably looked like probably the fourth wall
that they use for the kitchen, with a big bookshelf
in front of.

Speaker 1 (01:13:55):
It, so they wouldn't notice that it's actually with the
wood paneling, right, just throw kind it, right, that does
look like the fourth well, something that's never really closely analyzed,
so like just throw it up there and put a book.

Speaker 3 (01:14:09):
Just whatever and put it in the background.

Speaker 1 (01:14:10):
Yeah, it was very jarring because I was like, no,
the cameras are supposed to be like, oh, it's all
the yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:14:17):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:14:18):
So time goes by and the guys are finally back
inside the house. Wendy is sitting on the bed with
Ginger as Danny frowns at the chimp. I bet you
thought you were pretty funny with that little window gag
hun Ginger, and she nods her head in response. Joey
addresses Wendy and thanks her for saving them, but he
asks what happened to her nap. She sighs, I couldn't

(01:14:40):
stop thinking about that job at the zoo. If I
take it, it's going to mean living in a big
city with noise and traffic and pollution. Joey nods with understanding,
so you're not gonna take it, But then Wendy admits, well,
it also means hot showers and pizzas and my little
Tasmanian devil, so I'm taking it. He gives her a

(01:15:01):
big hug, and Danny watches them with a smile. He admits,
you two actually make a pretty nice couple. WHOA, this
feels sudden. They're like there.

Speaker 3 (01:15:12):
I was like, oh, they're like a like together. It
feels yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:15:14):
Felt have they even had a date? Like outside of him?

Speaker 2 (01:15:20):
That was the date.

Speaker 1 (01:15:21):
Now now she's taken a job based on Joey, I
guess it's just right. Let's not forget he lost the chimp.
So he lost the chimp.

Speaker 3 (01:15:31):
You should that should maybe be a point against her.

Speaker 1 (01:15:34):
She should at least give, like, give it a second
date before she commits to this mass life change. I'm
just saying, I mean, we'll find out. We see her
for one more episode, and then she's never seen again.
So she changed. Joey finally confesses to Wendy, we just
have one little problem. Your monkey's been hiding from me

(01:15:55):
all day. I think she hates me on cue. Ginger
grabs Joe and jumps onto him, giving him a big hug.
He happily wonders, then why is she hugging me? Wendy answers,
because her favorite game is hide and go seek. Ah.
Then Jesse walks in wearing a bathrobe and asks, is

(01:16:15):
everything okay? I looked out the window and saw three
monkeys in a tree. Where is his window that he
could see the girl's bedroom window tree? I can't figure out. Well,
it would be above and.

Speaker 3 (01:16:30):
He'd be looking so damn there's that big window in
the back of the.

Speaker 1 (01:16:37):
Yes, So he climbed exists on.

Speaker 2 (01:16:40):
The house because it's a pointed dorm, right, and that
doesn't that isn't on the house.

Speaker 1 (01:16:47):
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. That's how he climbed
up there, looked down and saw the tree. He saw
the tree, got it, got it? Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:16:55):
You know that huge tree that's in the front of
the yard in the opening credit right, which is yeah,
it's giant.

Speaker 1 (01:17:02):
It's not there, it's not.

Speaker 2 (01:17:03):
There's the good shrub like a small little sapling.

Speaker 1 (01:17:08):
I will just hand wave that away as well. Yeah, whatever,
that's okay, So Ginger excitedly runs up to Jesse and
he finally accepts the love. He tells her, let me
go get dressed. I'll dry my hair and we'll catch
a flick. Ginger happily chirps her excitement, and Jesse nods, okay, fine,
we'll go see Planet of the Apes, Danny jokes, and

(01:17:29):
there goes another nice couple. And that's our show, all right.
That was well, the thing that we saw, that was
a thing that was we did.

Speaker 2 (01:17:42):
We did the the obligatory eighties nineties sitcom chim with right, yeah,
the record is the unnecessary Chimp?

Speaker 1 (01:17:51):
Yeah? Really what it comes down to, Yeah, I don't
know this.

Speaker 3 (01:17:55):
And it's also I'm trying to look.

Speaker 2 (01:17:57):
At it with like, you know, the eyes of them,
because looking at it now.

Speaker 3 (01:18:00):
You're like, oh, good's poor poor chimp is like you know,
see why are we doing this?

Speaker 1 (01:18:06):
There's there's that, but even without that, the animal you know,
the ethics, animal ethics here right, right, I don't know.
I saw the chimp and I was just like, God,
is this where we jumped the shark? Is this where
full House jumps the shark? It jumps the monkey, Because
the monkey.

Speaker 3 (01:18:19):
Jumped the chimp.

Speaker 1 (01:18:20):
We jumped the chimp, the chimp. It's like I'm wondering, like,
I don't know. We're most of the way through. We've
got ways to go and some things to see before
we jump.

Speaker 3 (01:18:30):
We're right, but we are five and a half on
five and.

Speaker 2 (01:18:33):
Three fives, right, so we're starting to be like, I
don't know, throw a chimp in there, you know, everything
at the at the wall and see what sticks and
creating a.

Speaker 1 (01:18:42):
Chimp at the fourth wall, the fourth wall that's also
in the kitchen, right. Uh, yeah, I don't know. It
felt like it like the writers didn't know what to do.
So they're like, I just throw a chimp in there,
and it's like a filler type, like a filler.

Speaker 3 (01:18:53):
Type I have.

Speaker 2 (01:18:55):
But I just want to know what came first, the
chimp or the storyline, you know what I mean? Was
this a storyline where they were like, we've written it
around a monkey, or were they like, hey, network wants
us to use a chimp because it gets good ratings.
I don't know, like write something around.

Speaker 1 (01:19:11):
It so random that there had to be some prior
discussion and a reason for this, And that's what I
that's what I want to know.

Speaker 2 (01:19:18):
So yeah, now there was it was Uh, it was.
It was odd, it was silly. It's very nice say
it was a very full house episode. Yeah, yeah, it
was very full house coded. This is the one with
the monkey. Yeah, monkeys, the one where nobody reacted about
the monkey in the house.

Speaker 1 (01:19:37):
Like, oh, yeah, there's a monkey Is it safe?

Speaker 2 (01:19:39):
Sure?

Speaker 1 (01:19:39):
Why not?

Speaker 2 (01:19:40):
What would you do if you walked into your living
room or kitchen and a monkey came flying.

Speaker 3 (01:19:46):
At you on jumped on your back.

Speaker 1 (01:19:47):
What would you would you be like, oh, what's this?
Or would you be like like, oh my god, there's
a wild animal on my back.

Speaker 3 (01:19:53):
It could be trying to kill me.

Speaker 1 (01:19:54):
I would be it would be jarring. I would have
so many questions. I'd be like, yeah, please go to
I don't know what, a hotel, or just any sort
of outside area. Keep the backyard can be changed to
any sort of dimension the habitat back You could build
a zoo in an afternoon. It's a Tanner house. Yeah,
magical happened, right, right? So yeah, just keep the monkey outside. Yeah,

(01:20:15):
you're right, the monkey. The monkey obviously want to be outside.

Speaker 3 (01:20:18):
They should have let it out the back door.

Speaker 1 (01:20:19):
Yes, that could have solved a lot of problems. We
just go to a Gibbler house. They've got EMUs and Ostrich,
you know, they've got all It would just blend right
in at the Gibbler house.

Speaker 2 (01:20:30):
So no, I agree, this was a This was a
ridiculous episode, but it was fun to.

Speaker 3 (01:20:36):
Laugh at the ridiculousness of it.

Speaker 1 (01:20:37):
Yes, if you just accept hey, this is just what
ninety sitcoms did exact time, it was very funny. So
it was not anyper than that.

Speaker 3 (01:20:46):
No, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:20:47):
There wasn't any sort of deep moral to this episode
than the other than the don't let monkey chimps touch.

Speaker 1 (01:20:55):
Your hair cameras, ye, your pers.

Speaker 2 (01:20:58):
Keep your chemicals locked away from the gymps and you're
jimps right, yeah, yeah, surprised nothing.

Speaker 1 (01:21:06):
Exploded domesticated live jimps wandering use very normal. Well, if
this had been a Disney it would have been like, yeah,
something would have exploded. It would have been a lot
messier if this had been on the Disney Channel, because
that's what they do.

Speaker 3 (01:21:22):
Yeah, that would have yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:21:25):
Yeah. Still my point remains that.

Speaker 3 (01:21:28):
What if you could slim a monkey, I mean you
could actually.

Speaker 1 (01:21:31):
Do it in the right there were no animal labor laws.
You could do whatever with a JYMP so yeah, yeah,
not crazy though crazy. Well that was the thing we did,
the thing we did through that one. Never have to
watch it again.

Speaker 3 (01:21:50):
We don't, but I might.

Speaker 1 (01:21:51):
But I liked. I'm glad for the This was the episode.

Speaker 2 (01:21:55):
Was that.

Speaker 1 (01:21:55):
Wendy is a great addition. Yeah, you know, if she
can tolerate Joey, great, fantastic. I'm excited to see you're
looking for I'm happy to I'm happy she'll be back
for at least one more episode. So yeah, we'll see
me too. But I have a feeling it's not gonna
work out. I got that feeling too. Is the monkey
in the next episode two or does he just kind
of go?

Speaker 2 (01:22:14):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:22:14):
I think you can know. I feel like the chimp's
got to the chimp just leave. GIMP's gone, he's got
to go.

Speaker 3 (01:22:19):
Well, yeah, I don't know. I'm watching the next episode yet,
So you find out.

Speaker 1 (01:22:22):
I we'll find out, Cliffanger, is there a chip?

Speaker 3 (01:22:25):
Is there not? Stay tuned?
