Speaker 1 (00:19):
The amount of tears and battles I've had, and I
think useless.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Okay for not for not for not the same. I
started skiing at five, so.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Okay, and were you good by like five or six?

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yeah, And I've never forgotten. So if I put skis
back on, it comes back to me. My dad taught
me when I was five, and we used to go
once a year for a week.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
But so for a whole week you'd be skiing. Yep.
I think that's the key, Danielle. Just don't go one day.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
We were, Yeah, we weren't gonna do that when because
when I learned to ski, that's that's always what we did.
We did two family vacations a year. One was to
Hawaii and the other one was a ski vacation, and
like they were all the ski we went skiing for
at least three days in a row, which I remember
by the end of day two, I was like, my
whole body hurts, like I'm sore, and my dad being

(01:11):
like mind over mattered, we will hit the mountain the
next day. And I also have never forgotten, Like I mean,
I don't even remember the last time. How long ago
was it that I was on skis. But I was
I like put them on, and I was like, am
I even gonna know how to do this? I was
doing black diamonds by the end of the day. It's like, yeah,
I'm back. Yeah, it's like riding a bike.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
It is. It's like riding a ski.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
I was got pretty show dat. We should have been
recording that.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
In the Poets World. I'm Daniel Fisher. Let's move on, people.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Do you just said you don't.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Have We got literally and I'm literally wearing what I
slept in last night. That's not even a joke.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Oh my god, dude, it's so great. Will do you ski?

Speaker 3 (02:02):
I have skied a couple of times.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
I've never liked it. It's just your cold and start
at the top and then you go all the way
to the bottom and then you're just where you started.
It's like, I can't I stay here, Oh my god, stupid.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
I feel like you're flying.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
You're out in the trees on the mountain.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
There's nothing better.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Not there's lots and lots of things better.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Nope.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
So yeah, no, not not interested.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Jensen broke his hand on the lift once.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Why do you break you on the lift? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Jensen can ski, can't.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
Get it depends what you call ski if I can't
get off the lift exactly.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah, but he is a little afraid. That's one of
the reasons why he's happy to just postpone taking the
kids skiing is that after breaking his hand falling off
of the lift getting off the lift, he's like, we
don't we don't need to do that again.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah, I would wait. I would wait at least until
they're both over seven, and then, yeah, make sure you
do three days in a row. First day with an
instructor that's not you. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
I plan on putting him in ski school.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
Yep, that's what my brother in law does.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
He taught me out to ski in less than it
was like three hours, and I was shushing all over
the place, and yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
I got it. I was like, well that you never
you've never shu. It's the difference between East coast and
West coast. Shush, shush. Yeah, I was, and even even
I was like, oh, if I just learned how to
stop and and figure it out, then I'll love it.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
And I learned how to stop and do all that
stuff and take jumps, and I was still like this
is stupid.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Nope, Oh, you're such a curmagin about some things. You're
so childlike about really about something.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Oh, man, comfortable you can't.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
Walk when you take the skis off, Like, no, you
just don't feel cool.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
No, that's the one thing I do feel is cool.
And because everyone's cool.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
You're in thirty seven layers ski though, Skott.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yes, no, the snow when you sit in a lotch women.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
I would throw themselves at you.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
If you oh, if you hurt yourself, you're the same.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, it's great.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
Easton just said, I talked to a guy in Tahoe
about trying to ski and he looked me up and
down and said, might be too late for you.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
It is true. Here's the thing. It's a ridiculously expensive sport,
right because the gear costs so much, the lift tickets
cost so much, and there's a lot of effort in
just getting used to the cold. And you know, we're
skiing in like, you know, negative ten degrees.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
But you can hold a drink while it was pretty beautiful.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
For the record, it's I would definitely not be able
to take my kids someplace that's going to be negative ten.
I we yeah, I couldn't handle I'm cold all day
long Well we gome to bod meets World and Daniel
im right.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Or strong and I'm Will Fordell.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Hello everyone. Like all good full House recaps, this one
needs a bit of a warning. We talk a lot
about s A n T A.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Satan now a sorry, and the.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
The difficult nature of dealing with his existence and kids.
So maybe don't listen to this one with little ones
around because it could interfere with the magic of Christmas.
Thanks a lot, writer, sign down, and now for the
show full House.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Let's here we go. Santa is Jesus and he's magical.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
And God, that's right, Writer's going to bash that Sarata
is here and he's magical.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
I could see Rider being the parent who hands India's
first gift at two and goes, Merry Christmas.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
This is from your mom and I because Santa is
not real.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Absolutely true.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
I never I never lied to my kids the fantasy.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
I also, I really I was like, we're not gonna lie,
We're not going to do it. We've never really needed to.
Adler was just like I was as a kid, which
is like, none of this isn't real. And I'm like, well,
why do you why do you feel that way, and
he's like, come on, I mean really, And I'm like,
but is there a do you like the feeling of Christmas?

(06:41):
Like you know, Christmas is about it's a it's a spirit,
it's a feeling. It's not really about a real But
he's just like, yeah, no, it's not real.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
I'd be if I had kids, I'd be walking on
the roof at midnight, like dressed like Santa.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
I'd get glimpses of if they get glimpses of me, you.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Know who you would be. You'd be an Elf on
the shelf parent and you would be so good at it.
But I and me and Ryder you couldn't pay. There's
not enough money in the world to make me an
Elf on the shelf parent.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
And that's the thing is, I don't even like Christmas.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
I just like the being able to have a fantasy
world for a child for a while.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
That's awesome fantasy world you can have. You just don't
say it's real. You just enjoy the fantasy together.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
Like, three year old needs to know that there's there
is no Santa Claus really anybody's life.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
What do you mean I'm not telling a three year
old there is no Santa. I'm just not saying there
is a Santa. I'm saying, oh my god.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Let's have fun.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Let's tell this story, and Santa lives here, and there's
the you know, we tell a story together. But I'm
not saying, yes, they're actually a Sancha's coming delivering your
presence tomorrow morning, you know, in the middle of his
own my friend to each his own.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
I mean, we participate. Like Keaton fully thinks that when
we go to the mall and he tells Santa what
he wants, that that is the moment that it's decided that, like,
I have to talk to this person. He he has
not really made a big deal about the fact that
there are Santa's at different malls like Adler did. Adler,

(08:09):
with all of that, was like, why is there a
Santa here? And I was like, wow, your Santa can't
be everywhere, and he was like, hmmm, It's like Satha
was just always suspicious. Keaton's a little more like, listen,
all I know is that when I told this man
last year that I wanted a Paw Patrol backpack, I
got a Paw Patrol backpack. And he also thinks, so

(08:34):
he also thinks that the Amazon gift guide that we
get in the mail is how Yeah, you have to
tell Santa what you wage. So this this weekend, I
said to Keaton, because Keaton said he wanted a John
Cena backpack? And I said, do you want to ask
Santa for?

Speaker 4 (08:53):
That?

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Sounds like a good thing you could ask Santa for.
You could ask him for a John Cena backpack. And
he turns and he looks at me and he goes,
it isn't see you couldn't ask for something.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Thank you? How can you ever find it?

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Why are you saying thank you? Like this proves something
that you've been targeted?

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Will what do you mean?

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Thank you?

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Thank you?

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Thank you? You needs the message you obviously have to
send us the fantasy, that's the thing. It's like, hold on,
is this part of our episode? Because I feel like
we have to have a trigger warning for listeners that
you know.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
Why why not just crush their fantasy right now?

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Their kids?

Speaker 3 (09:35):
Why not kill the kids. You don't need it, right
kill the fantasy. They don't need to know. They're too
They should.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Not have any actual kids.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Crush it.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
You don't need a trigger warning. Let them know Santa
the Easter Boddy. All the things they love they're fake.
Tell them right now. They shouldn't have that joy in
their life, even up to five.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
The joy shouldn't be based on a lie.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
All of it is.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
Oh my god, it's not a lie. It's a fantasy.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
That's the Joe. That's not a lie. That's a fantasy.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Those are two I think we're saying the same thing.
Then I think we're saying the same thing.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
So if your kid came to you at three in
said is Santa Reel?

Speaker 4 (10:13):
You'd say no, yes, Oh, then we're not talking about.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
The kid is asking that question. Right, they're already at
a level of, like, you know, incredulity that I think
is worth telling me.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
Every time a kid asked a question, it's because he's
at a level of incredulity. No, it's the kids ask questions,
is Santa Reel?

Speaker 3 (10:38):
Can I fly?

Speaker 4 (10:39):
If I jump off the roof? Can I do all
this kind of stuff? So you have that's just kids
asking questions. Of course you would answer the questions you
can if you jump off the roof, because it's good
for your fantasy, but it's good. But thinking that there's
somebody named Santa Claus that's that brings gifts if you're good,
that you know wants you to deliver joy all over
the world. How does that hurt a kid who's three or.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
Four years old to believe that's real.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
It doesn't necessarily hurt them. It's just not telling them
the truth.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
So do you think it's also there's some sort of
a responsibility then tell your kid. Maybe don't go and
tell your friends he's not real, because you might ruin
another kid's fantasy.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
I mean, it depends on what we're talking about. We're
talking about Christmas, and specifically you're talking about one religious
one country's traditions.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Isn't religion. Santa isn't religious.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
Santus for no, because Jesus is the is the Santos
created by the Coke company in the nineteen thirties. That's
the Santa we see is what's created by the coach.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
So if you're Jewish, you're celebrating Christmas, you're saying.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
It depends my stepson is my son in law.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Is Jewish and loves Christmas, right, So it's a there's
a variety of options out there, but for the most part,
it's called Christmas. It's mostly a Christian tradition.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
But if you want to tell your kid that Santa
isn't real, then your kid's three or four.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
Is there some point where you have to say to.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
Your kid, but other kids might believe he is, and
maybe don't ruin that for them, So don't go tell
other kids.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Can I offer the middle ground, which is what we do,
which is I turn it back on them, and I
so I when Adler would Every time Adler asks me,
I say the same thing, what do you think? And
I let him talk it out, and I'll say so
people believe all kinds of different things. I love to

(12:23):
believe in the story of Santa, and it's fun. Our
family celebrates it. We leave him cookies and carrots, and
I just kind of reiterate what we already do and
never really actually say yay or nay. I'm not going
to direct you.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
Writer said you would say no, he's not real.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
If a kid asked me, if is Santa real?

Speaker 3 (12:44):
Wave kid? So somebody else's kid comes up to you
and asks, Santa is reel?

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Who's four years? I know I wouldn't feel right if
another parent, No, of course, okay, all right.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
Good, okay, well you said it. If you believe me.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Well, if a kid comes up to me and says,
do you believe in Santa? I'm gonna say no, I
don't if that's what you mean. But why why?

Speaker 4 (13:11):
No?

Speaker 3 (13:12):
No, I don't believe in Santa? Little kid? GoF why
are you on my lawns? Exactly?

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (13:21):
Anything to destroy the fantasy rider. If a kid walks
up to you and says, do you believe in what?

Speaker 4 (13:28):
Like?

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Name another fantastical fantastical anything? What do you say? Why
would he be as a kid?

Speaker 3 (13:34):
How old is the kid?

Speaker 1 (13:35):
For? Yes, you believe in elves and.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
Bad wait, bad demons, devil, the devil a second, the devil.

Speaker 3 (13:45):
That you're talking about two different things. You're equating telling
a four year old the devil is real?

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Angels over in heaven, body stas body stas, buddhas buddhas.
Can I answer it?

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Can I answer one of your questions? Your mom has?
But my mom has passed away.

Speaker 4 (14:01):
And he comes up to me and says, Mom's an angel,
right and she's watching over me.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Am I supposed to go no, I don't believe in angels.

Speaker 5 (14:07):
That's what writer did exactly. Of course you say yes,
of course you do. Yes, your mother is an angel
in watching over you. Of course you do sleep well,
of course you do.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
That shouldn't even be a question. Wow, Danielle, which one
would you do?

Speaker 4 (14:25):
Do?

Speaker 2 (14:26):
We talk about the fact that my mother in law
can see them and is. But I do actually believe
there is an afterlife. I believe you and writer does
not so so for me, it's not that's not me lying.
I do think there is.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
There's something else, There's something else.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
I have absolutely no idea what it is. Same, but
I know that our whatever we're made of doesn't die
like I mean, our.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
Go somewhere, our skin or bone something.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
That that, but that energy doesn't ever die. So it's somewhere.
And whether or not we're just like floating the energy balls,
they're somewhere. So and I explain that to my kids too,
like what we believe, what I believe is not necessarily
what you're going to believe. My role as your parent
is to tell you how the world works to the

(15:15):
best of my ability. And I'm not a genius. I'm
not a scientist. I have the things that I believe,
and things ring true to me or they do not.
And you also, as you grow up, will make up
your mind about what rings true to you and what
feels what makes sense to you, and other people will
believe totally different things, and neither of you are guaranteed

(15:36):
to be right. We don't freaking know about a lot
of things. So that's how we talk about it, just
very much like I like to constantly bring questions like
that back to my kids about well, what do you think?
And just the same way when my kids are having
a problem with another kid at school and I can
start to suspect I don't think this kid is a

(15:56):
very good friend, but I don't want to say I
don't want you being friends with that kid, but I
will point out to them, well, how does that friend
make you feel? And then when regularly they're thinking to themselves,
when I'm around this friend, I regularly don't feel good
if they know, like, friends shouldn't make you feel bad
about yourself all the time. I want them to just

(16:19):
be in touch with that kind of like their own thoughts,
their own intuition, sure, their own instincts. Sure, And so anyway,
I'm glad we all agree. I'm glad we're all on
the same thing. Yeah, we all agree.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
We're all the very version of this conversation for thirty somemits.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
I know, so this will lem end.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
And if Pod meets t World taught me anything it's
that I really shouldn't interfere in the fighting. I just
need to take a step back and wait till I
realize total and know what I'm saying is, when you
guys would just continue to battle things out, it makes
for great radio. So I just I'm gonna just gonna

(16:56):
sit back. When I realize we're at an impasse and
where nothing else will be accomplished, I will then I
want to jump in.

Speaker 4 (17:02):
I'd like to point out there's been several times and
I'm not going to get into them, but several times
where I was absolutely adamant on my side of major
things and arguing with writer completely changed my mind one
hundred and eighty degree one hundred and eighty do like
completely change my mind?

Speaker 1 (17:16):
So it works, I think, Yeah, I think having the
conversation and the debate is way better than just avoiding it.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
Oh, always better to get into it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
Well, the holiday season is in full swing. Lights or
hung trees are up, and capitalism is thriving, and Pod
meets World continues its journey through special holiday sitcom episodes,
and this week we are visiting our neighbors, a TGIF
classic whose Rewatch podcast is our spiritual spinoff. It's the

(17:46):
show single handedly responsible for questioning the existence of predictability.
It's Full House, and recently they reviewed our.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Existence of predictability.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yeah, because it's the theme song. Whatever happened to predictability?

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Oh, we're talking?

Speaker 3 (18:04):
I had no idea.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
You guys have to really be a Stan. You have
to be a Stan a full house to get it.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
I don't think that's gonna happen.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
No, Okay, does that mean I like, I'm I'm I'm
a fan.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Big fan? Yeah? Like, okay. So Eminem had a song
called Stand.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
I knew this and I know that song.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Okay, So, and the Stand was like obsessed and you know,
more than a fan, you're a Stan. It murder killing
his girlfriend and it's romantic. Well, just of god, it's
like twenty year old fantasy. It's fantasy. God, don't the

(18:43):
fantasy of a stand murdering Eminem's wife. We all want
to share in that. If a four year old comes
up to you and says, we're.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Taking the body.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
We're taking the body because you let's say you love somebody.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
That's how you love them.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Well, recently they reviewed our pilot, so it's time to
return the favor as we.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
Did a look they yeah, the how rude or Ritos?

Speaker 4 (19:15):
Yeah, oh god, they did that rider went on Lacan
and Stacey keenan show.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
Yees awesome, this is great. We're just so busy, So
it's time to return the favor as we take a
look at season two, episode nine, our very first Christmas show.
It aired originally on December sixteenth, nineteen eighty eight, just
a week before the Yule Tide holiday, and like the
title suggests, this was their very first Christmas episode. So

(19:46):
I know we have touched on this when we talked
to Jody and Andrea in the past, But have either
of you seen a full episode a full house before?

Speaker 3 (19:54):
Nope?

Speaker 1 (19:54):
Nope?

Speaker 2 (19:55):
Okay, so this was your first?

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Maybe I had because I talked to my buddy Sean
was on an episode, okay, And I auditioned for that
part too.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Oh so I.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
Think that.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
Ninjas you partying the whole night before your full house
audition too, sneaking.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
It was one of the worst auditions ever. I remember
the casting director like lecturing me no, that is yeah,
like telling me I was like basically didn't know how
to act. And I remember walking out and being like kidding,
this what sucks man, Oh my god. And then Sean
got it and that was like the first day we met.
Actually was we were both flying down to LA to
audition for multiple parts and he got full House Brett.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
She went there and lectured you.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Yeah, I forget I just remember one of because you know,
it's early on in my career, so I'd only been
on maybe twenty auditions in my at all, and this
was like one of the first times flying down to
LA for an audition, and she was just like, I
don't know what I did, but she was like telling
me how horrible I was and I should yeah, oh
my god.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
Oh I want to give that young boy a hunt.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
I think it was okay. I was probably I probably
walked out being like, she doesn't know what she's talking about.
The year honestly, I was probably like, well, how sucks anybody?
Which I had never seen, But now I've seen it,
I can say, yes, I really had a hard time
watching this. I had no I did go on to

(21:20):
watch another episode after this Christmas episode, and I'm glad
I did. I'm glad I did because I thought this
was in particularly a weird episode. Yes, it's weird, it
is any sense, Whereas like the next episode had. I
watched like literally the next episode, and it had a
story and it was really cute and very fun, and
I was like, okay, but this Christmas episode was a

(21:42):
little just I had no idea what was happening.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
It is jarring if you've never seen one before, I
think to just be thrown into this one because I didn't.

Speaker 3 (21:47):

and then not around oh god, trigger warning again. People
are like, started the episode, they think it's over. No okay, yeah, okay, yeah,
and and so the elf is always just getting into mischief.
So people have to come up with very creative things
like like people will sprinkle flower across their counter and

(23:34):
then people go all out, oh yeah, and then the
flower thing is somewhere else and it's ripped open and
the elf is like buried in it, and he was
like trying to bake cookies but he got stuck in
the flower. Or it's like always some and every day
it gets progressively bigger and bigger and bigger, and people
look so forward to it, and you can is there
anything more theater kid energy than.

Speaker 4 (23:55):
Everyday Crisally elves don't bake cookies. Keebler elves bake cookies.
Keebler elves are in trees. Christmas elves are in the
north Pole, two completely different types of elves, so that
the elf is.

Phoenee reading twas the Night.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Before Christmas and some of this episode, No, that was
part of the Danielle that was part of the Tapanga

was a dream sequence where Corey saw the four married
to Matt.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
Yeah, yes, that one.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
Well anyway, all right, let's count full House, guys, full House.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Let's go. So for those who want to watch along
with us before or after, Full House is available to
stream right now on Hulu. So let's get into their
first contribution to the holiday genre. With the synopsis. The
family gets snowed in at an airport on Christmas Eve,
all while Stephanie worries that Santa won't be able to
find her. So I was directed by John Boab, a

(25:56):
very busy director in the eighties and nineties, with ninety
one episode of the Facts of Life bearing his name Wow,
along with turns on The Cosby Show, Hanging with Mister Cooper,
and Grace Underfire. This is one of four full House
episodes he directed. It was written by Kim Weisskopf. Kim
was a writer producer who worked on shows like The

(26:16):
Jeffersons and Sister Sister, but most notably he was a
showrunner for Married with Children, where for the final few
seasons he also voiced the family dog Buck. Kim passed
away from pancreatic cancer in two thousand and nine. He
was just sixty two years old. Jumping into starring. It
was starring our heart throb John Stamos as Jesse Katsopolis.

(26:37):
This is the show that made Stamos a household name.
He had been a star on the soap opera General Hospital,
but this was his major breakout. He is also weirdly
in the Beach Boys. He's just what, Yeah, he's just
now he's in the Beach Boys.

Speaker 4 (28:20):
Oh god, how's this not? It's like everybody knows that
John Mayer's with the Dead. Now, how do we not know?

Speaker 1 (28:26):
John Stamos is a lot of people don't know about
John Mayer and the Dead.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
It's true.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
I feel like they're still crazy.

Speaker 4 (28:32):
Dennis Wilson. I knew Dennis Wilson. Dennis Wilson was the
one who drowned. Correct, Yes, okay, here's wikipedia.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Stamos has occasionally performed in concert with the Beach Boys
dating back to nineteen eighty five, typically playing drums and
various other percussion instruments. In nineteen eighty eight, he appeared
in their video for Kocomo, in which he played conga
drums and steel drums. In nineteen ninety, he played drums
for them on the title track of the comedy Problem Child,
and also appeared in the song's music video. In ninety two,

(29:03):
he sang lead vocals on a new version of Forever
for their album Summer in Paradise. The song was originally
written and sung by Beach Boy Dennis Wilson and released
in nineteen seventy. The song was featured twice on Full House.
The first was a recording song at his character's wedding,
while the second was a recording song for his character's
twin sons. The nineteen ninety two music video titled Forever

(29:25):
by Jesse and the Rippers featured Staymos predominantly. However, three
of the Beach Boys members are briefly shown singing harmonies
with Stamos. Carl Wilson, Bruce Johnston and Mike Love.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Why didn't any of us join the Monkeys?

Speaker 2 (29:37):
My god, God, it's not too late, It's not too late.
And the three of us joined the one other living
member of Monkeys and Mick Dolans. Let's do its Monkeys.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
Love It was the only one that has any musical talent.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
So I know, you guys ca play the tambourine, and you.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
Know I'd find a way to mess it up.

Speaker 4 (30:05):
I know.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
He was the Beach Boys. That's Crael, Okay, all right?

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Well, Bob Saggots Danny Tanner. Bob was a stand up
comedian cast is the Wholesome Dad, despite his act not
really matching the family style of the show. Bob also
appeared in movies like Half Baked and TV shows like Entourage,
and tragically he passed away in twenty twenty two at
just sixty five, after slipping in a hotel room and
hitting his head. And then we have Dave Coolier as

(30:30):
Joey Gladstone, another stand up comedian, but this time from Canada.
We want to wish Dave a speedy recovery. He recently
announced that after beating lymphoma this year, doctors have diagnosed
him with tongue cancer. So we love Dave here and
we know he is a fighter, and thankfully the prognosis
is good, so we are wishing him the best. And

(30:51):
then Laurie Laughlin as Becky Donaldson. Laurie joined in season
two and had appeared in the movies Rad and Back
to the Beach before House.

Speaker 4 (31:01):
Laurie Laughlin and Rad made me understand the world in
a way I never thought I would. Yeah, that was unbelievable.
God would wouldn't give to go ask sliding with you.
Nobody will get that now unless you're.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
A fan of Rad. Yes, Oh wow, great movie.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
And now for the young cast members. Candace Cameron Beret
is DJ Tanner Jody Sweeten, although she was just Candace
Cameron back then, but Jody Sweeton is Stephanie Tanner and
Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen are the twins swapping duty
as Michelle Tanner. Did either of you two ever meet
the Olsen twins?

Speaker 1 (31:32):
Yes, okay, yeah at some point. Didn't they go on
the cruise with us?

Speaker 3 (31:37):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (31:37):
Yeah, they were on a cruise.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
Were they on a cruise?

Speaker 3 (31:40):
I feel I definitely meeting a couple.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
I think you did a cruise I didn't do, and
I think that's the one they were on.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Yeah, I definitely met them, but I don't think I've
ever had a conversation more than like thirty seconds or like.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
I interviewed them when I was on Nickelodeon.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
Did you how'd that go?

Speaker 1 (31:52):
When they were they were.

Speaker 4 (31:53):
Only like five if that. And this was the one
where the woman had two there handler had two Dixie
cups taped together with Eminem's in them, and whenever they
would like their their gaze would go somewhere else, you
go and shake the thing and they would snap back
to the It was weird.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
They talk about that on their podcast apparently, I mean this.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Was always the Yeah, that's what I always heard is
that they were trained by with food, like literally that's
why every shot of them is a single and they
are waiting to get a cookie if they say the
line correctly or an eminem or whatever it was.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
I mean that was I don't know.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
This was such a weird experience to watch this show
and like try and wrap my head around like what
this show is. Like I was just like, okay, so
it's three funny guys, like three comedians, and then three
child children like and like children and children children and yeah,
it's just the collision of those two things is like

(32:53):
all this show is. It's like cute kids that say
cute kid things and then like zaney dudes, Yes, yes,
that's the whole concept of the show. That's all Full
House is supposed to be. Yes, okay, okay, just like
there's no story, there's no character.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
I don't know what's happening.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
But it was like, okay, I guess if we're just
here to like watch the kids say something cute and
then the dad says something, that's all we're doing. I
don't even.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
Mixed with the heart strings of you know, these kids
tragically lost their mom, that's what they're there.

Speaker 4 (33:26):
So Bob Saggot's wife is John Stamos's cis correct, she
passed away. Yes, he moves in to help take care
of the kids. And Dave Kolier is their friend friend yes, okay, yes.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
Okay, yeah, but when you I watched the next episode
and it's much better and coolier and Stamos are like
working together to like write jingles. Yes, they together, Yeah,
and that dynamic is actually pretty great. Like watching the
two of them as actors, I was like, oh, I
can see this is like it's very sick comedy. But
I just could I just this episode not wrap my
head around, like what was happening?

Speaker 2 (34:02):
You've never seen we say for the kids to be cute,
and then it made perfectly good sense to me because
I have seen I have seen a few episodes of
Full House.

Speaker 4 (34:11):
So yeah, it was I think out of context and
this is our fault when we're jumping into these specialty episodes.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
Yeah, I don't think so, man. I think it's weird.
I think it's a cultural, Like you would never create
a show like this now, Like the idea of like
men raising girls was just already like its own genre
back because you had like all the ideas and like
to my two dads, the whole idea. Yes, like that's

(34:37):
just a bygone era and that's clearly like part of
the impetus behind this show. And then like yeah, just
like isolated shots of kids like being cute, which we
had a little bit on Boy Me's World. You think
about season one Lily, who was literally just like an
Ulsa twin, Like people love people love it, so like

(34:58):
there's there's there's a rationale behind it. I just don't
get it because I'm like, why are we watching this?
Like what And it's like, oh, so the family can
sit around and be like cute little girl.

Speaker 4 (35:07):
Huh yeah, because this is the first one I'd ever seen.
I'd always heard that they started when they were young,
but they were young.

Speaker 3 (35:15):
I mean Jody was young. This is That's what I mean.
These are like kid.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
Jody's carrying so much of the show, especially the.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
Next episode, it's literally all her.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Ever.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
You know, johns was was pissed about her about Jody
because great, yes, this is supposed to be his star
making vehicle and she stole every shem and he was pissed.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
Get cute kids and zane adults.

Speaker 4 (35:51):
I think John Stamos has admitted that he also tried
to get the Olsen Twins fired from the show.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
Because that's a little different.

Speaker 3 (35:58):
He just didn't think they were they were delivering.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
Right, that's diff Yeah, he was jealous, so he just
wanted to get rid of the three of the four.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
He didn't get the eminems when he sent his line
for it.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
Yeah right, he was pissed, right, or you missed it.
They weren't giving him the eminem's. They were shaking it
like that just.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
To get their eye contact. But once they say the correctly,
they got a cook it or an eminem.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
Yeah, oh god, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
It made me very uncomfortable. Every time I cut to
the twins, I got very uncomfortable. I just kept him
at because I was just like, what are we looking at?
We're looking at a child being tortured, Like I'm like
watching a baby being told Like I can't go. I
was like watching a performing monkey. I'm sorry. I was like,
this is not I'm not cool with this, Like what
this isn't cute? I can't understand what she's saying, Like

(36:43):
we're just I'm like every time it made me uncomfortable, was.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
Like I do agree.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
The scene with Ashley being waterboarded was too much.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
Just grinds to a halt and then we're supposed to
wait and then it's like cute moment but again, and
I'm like, yeah, but that is like, I don't know,
it just made uncomfortable.

Speaker 3 (36:59):
Torture Orchard is a bit a bit far, But I don't.

Speaker 4 (37:03):
Disagree that I felt on car. It was like, you're
sitting there, let's get a tight because we've been there,
because we know the situation. We know that the camera's
on them, that they're just focusing on them, and let's
say your line and now let's say it again, and
now let's say it again, like we know what it takes.

Speaker 3 (37:19):
So yeah, that made me young.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
You're looking at it, You're looking at a baby that
literally has no way of knowing what it's doing or
why it's saying the things. That's it. When I see Jody,
I'm looking at a very precocious kid who has you
can tell it, has a light behind her eyes that
is like conscious of what she's saying. And even if
it takes a little bit for somebody to read the
lines to her and work with her, she's capable of

(37:42):
Like I'm seeing a kid like I'm seeing an actor,
and like I remember having India at that age, like
you could get them to do but like the other
the Olsen Twins, you're watching like essentially and like a
non thinking animal, like do a thing.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
And like that's it makes me uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
I'm sorry, this is my favorite thing ever. It's not cute.
It's like I'm like, that's snow. I'm watching kids get like,
you know, great, they made money, they got their cookie.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
Fine, I guess we're all ken yells about to cover
her vain. That's what you've done.

Speaker 1 (38:23):
I mean, and you wanted to watch another episode and
I was like hey, but but then he did start
sort of commenting on every time it cut to the
Olsen Twits.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
He was like, they look weird.

Speaker 1 (38:34):
Like they look uncomfortable, but yeah, they don't know what
they're saying, man, they don't know. Yeah, and then he
kind of thought it was funny. And then every time
it cut to them, he's like, look.

Speaker 4 (38:41):
Oh my god, aren't they billionaires now, like like literal billionaires.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
Yes, they've got such wonderful handbags and clothes, and yeah
they make great stuff. All right, guest storry, we're like
in an hour.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
In should we do the whole breakdown or just do this?

Speaker 2 (39:06):
Do we need to go through a scene by scene?
Can we just recap the episode? Okay. Yvonne Wilder as
Irene Katzoppol as Yvonn is best known as Consuelo in
West Side Story both on stage and in the nineteen
sixty one film, but also appeared in the TV show
Operation Petticoat and seven episodes A Full House. Wilder passed
away in twenty twenty one at the age of eighty four.

(39:27):

accomplished character actor. Apria is most recognizable as young Tessio
in The Godfather Part two and also appeared in movies
like The Stepford Wives and New Jack City and TV
shows like The Sopranos. Apria passed away in twenty twenty
four at the age of eighty three. We have Christy

Speaker 2 (40:36):
General Barker Brook was a TV legend who passed away
in nineteen ninety four at the age of sixty four.
Jumping into our recap, but we start our cold open

(40:58):
in the Tanners living room. Danny adjusts the camera while
everyone and stands in front of the Christmas tree prepping
their annual Christmas card picture. He declares look Mary, peaceful
and joyous before running into the shot. Everybody say Christmas Cheese.
Then the phone rings and the girls run off, ditching
the family photo. The guys try and salvage the shot,
grabbing the three kids just in time for the camera click.
We freeze on a very cute yet chaotic Christmas photo.

(41:22):
We get our signature full house opening with its earworm
of a theme song, and we are back in the
Tanner's living room, Danny holds it want.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
To noredits were okay? Hell, I don't know, I mean,

I don't know. They didn't even look like they could
play soccer. I didn't know what was happening, Like John
Stables is like diving beneath them, like leg I believe
a single thing about the show. Did you, guys believe
anything about the show? Did you believe any moment? Did
anything feel real at even in a like even in

(41:58):
a like jokey, I didn't understand why things were happening.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
It's like literally not a single moment like why where?
Who was sitting? Where? In the in the in the airplane?

Speaker 2 (42:07):
Oh oh, I know?

Speaker 1 (42:08):
Does a kid not recognize their uncle as Santa Claus?

Everything.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
There's not like mistletoe just kisses, Like what is none
of this?

Speaker 3 (42:24):
You know what it is?

Speaker 4 (42:25):
You know what it is, especially at this point, I
think it's still the eighties and especially this opening title sequence.
I mean, think about, like how many times have we
done stuff where it's like all right now, like you normally.

Speaker 3 (42:33):
Do in real life.

Speaker 4 (42:34):
Put your arms around the people you're walking with and
just walk together in a lot of what I mean,
it's so sick.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
You're not wearings in the car, like none of it.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
It was just like what is going on? Like I
don't believe.

Speaker 1 (42:45):
I don't believe a single frame of this. And I
know I'm not. I guess I'm not supposed to. I'm
just supposed to be like kid kids guys.

But I can't.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
I can't turn my brain up.

Speaker 2 (42:54):

Speaker 2 (44:02):
I mean, honestly, you guys, it don't even suggest it
unless you're serious, because first of all, I will be
so rich from just putting this together. I will go
on telling starts.

Speaker 1 (44:13):
But I will do I will do. I will do
a foxy food fight remaking. Were going to rename fat
Will I will I will stripped down and roast. You
don't even have to pay me, just give me food.

Speaker 3 (44:30):
I'll do it exactly. But it was a long.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
Trip, and if you start to lose focus, I'm gonna
shake some of ms.

Speaker 3 (44:39):
Serious.

Speaker 4 (44:42):
As long as we can all walk arm there, we're
fine to the Whiskey, Go Go, then I'm good.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
Yeah. It was when I watched the second episode of
the opening credits really struck me. As bizarre.

Speaker 3 (44:53):
It's like, I don't believe any of this.

Speaker 1 (44:55):
The next episode did, it did get better, It did
have a story, it was character based, but this episode
literally they fly somewhere that stop and none of it
make I don't know, it's.

Speaker 2 (45:05):
Just not in the normal realm of like a Halloween episode.
You just suspend your disbelief.

Speaker 4 (45:11):
I also don't think it's the same car, like they
cut to them in the in the the they're driving
in that red convertible, but when they pull down wide,
I don't it's not the same car.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
That was fake. And the poor Olsen twin is like
pointing at the helicopter following them. Why is the helicopter
following us?

Speaker 3 (45:28):
Eat cookies?

Speaker 1 (45:29):
Steak? Quiet?

Speaker 3 (45:35):
Anyway, the Olsen Twins have had nothing to do with
any of the remakes or anything.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
No, I think they will watch any commentary about like
did they talk about full House.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
Let's not go through scene by scene. Let's just recat,
just agree what the episode was.

Speaker 1 (45:49):
Okay, okay, the only funny bit, and it takes way
too long is when she grabs the guy's wig.

Speaker 3 (45:54):
Let's let's not.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
Let's just walk through what happens, Like Danny is recording
with his camcorder that they multiple times, he I guess
the caster, So he is recording this as like Corey
Matthews would for his for a school, but he's doing

(46:18):
it for work. They're going to air this footage on
his morning talk show Wake Up San Francisco two.

Speaker 3 (46:27):
Hour retrospective of their trip.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
He's gonna edit it is something that could be on top.

Speaker 1 (46:32):
It's family reunion.

Speaker 3 (46:34):
Yes, yes, yes, okay, but they have to fly there
the day of Christmas. But then it's whose family is it?

Speaker 2 (46:40):
Because it's Danny's family maybe his dead Wife's his dead
wife because her parents are there right, exactly his.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
Dead wife's family that he's organizing the whole family reunion
on Christmas?

Speaker 3 (46:51):
Yes, isn't that John? Then John?

Speaker 4 (46:55):
But then his parents are already there on the flight
with them, So why would they have to fly anywhere? No?

Speaker 2 (47:00):
No, no, it's not just the parents. It's their extended
family like her cousins. I think it's their family.

Speaker 4 (47:07):
But the mom and the dad and the son and
the daughter all lived in San Francisco.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
The logic of the seating doesn't even make sense. Why
are the three of them there's two girls sharing one
seat I don't know in the front row it's one
bee or whatever.

Speaker 3 (47:20):
So it's clearly the front row.

Speaker 1 (47:22):
And and and and then.

Speaker 2 (47:24):
What they're sharing.

Speaker 1 (47:25):
Saggey comes up and says, I also have this. All
three people got to sign the same middle seat.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
Yes, they are sitting in the Are they sharing one
seat because I know that later Dave Coolier and the kiddie,
the man with the kiddiewig, they're sitting next to each other.
Those are two seats.

Speaker 3 (47:41):
Yes, So does.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
It just look like the girls are sharing a seat
or did they just lift the armrest? Remember seats that
used to do that? You could lift the arm rest.

Speaker 3 (47:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
So anyway, he's recording. They're getting ready to take off
on their family vacation, and he's recording it because eventually
he's going to write it off. We get a couple
of jokes about that.

Speaker 4 (47:59):
And then they're on the plane first class, which again
I thought, if you want a good runner joke, they
only did it once. They should have kept coming back
from first class with bigger and grander things.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
Oh that's funny, like you know.

Speaker 4 (48:11):
You keep coming back and you know her hairs and
rollers and there's a salon up here, like doing stuff
like that, but they had to jump.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
That wouldn't have been realistic.

Speaker 3 (48:20):
That's true, they would have lost realistic.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
But we also get for the first time in this
scene where Stephanie makes it very clear that she doesn't
want to go on this trip because she's worried Santa
won't know where she is, right, which is a very
common thing for kids that a lot of kids, my
kids included, have been like, wait a minute, our fireplace
doesn't doesn't go down to the ground. How's Santa gonna

(48:46):
get through the How's that going to happen? So kids
being nervous that they're not going to be in their
normal spot for Christmas and that Santa won't know where
they are is totally relatable for families. So she decides
to make a map to tell Santa where she's going to.

Speaker 3 (49:00):
Be, not a detailed map at all. He'd never be
able to find that.

Speaker 2 (49:04):
But somehow he does because he's He sends a message later.

Speaker 1 (49:08):
Through a laptop through a laptop, and he thanks her
for the maps.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
No, she draws a map on the plane. Now I'm here. Okay,
Remember she draws one on the plane and says, Santa,
I'm in the plane.

Speaker 4 (49:21):
Now it only brought gifts, the gifts that they already bought,
and just for their family. Right, nobody else in the
airport got a gift from the real Santa Claus.

Speaker 2 (49:33):
People are singing there with their family.

Speaker 1 (49:36):
When when they wake everybody up it's Christmas.

Speaker 3 (49:39):
Wake up. I was like, I would be so out.
John Stams just.

Speaker 1 (49:42):
Like turns on the lights.

Speaker 3 (49:43):
It's like, get up, everybody, It's Christmas.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
Dude, you already had to give a speech last night
about the coat rack christ.

Speaker 4 (49:52):
I also felt like I was reading the original Hobbit
book where by the ninth Hobbit song, I'm like, I
can't do this anymore.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
How many songs did they sing in this movie? In
this show?

Speaker 2 (49:59):
I know I started with.

Speaker 3 (50:00):
Them walking out singing a song.

Speaker 2 (50:02):
For those of us who don't love musicals, it's a
lot of music.

Speaker 3 (50:04):
Thank you, Yeah agreed.

Speaker 2 (50:06):
Well, DJ is tying Michelle's shoes. She asks if she
can keep a secret, and she says she's found all
the Christmas presents, and then she breaks down what everybody's getting.
So she knows she's getting a CD player and that
Stephanie is going to get roller skates, and Michelle, what
is Michelle getting toys, rolling in new toys, a.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
Cookie, just a Dixie cup filled with em and MS.
That's all you.

Speaker 2 (50:33):
Could better listen. You don't have to hear that terrible
sound if you just listen say your lines.

Speaker 3 (50:41):
It's really your fault.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
So I'm saying, listen, you don't want me to shake
this at you. Just do what I say. That's it,
That's all you have to do. Okay, we're now we're
on the airplane. Danny is again running his video recorder.
He's getting ready for takeoff. He asks DJ to recap
what's going on, and she he says, well, I'm getting
ready to buckle my seatbelt and return my seat back

(51:03):
to its original upright position. And this is where Stephanie
makes another sign that says she's on a plane. She
puts it in the window, and then Jesse's mom enters.
She's in a fur coat and a matching hat. She's
got a sour face. She says, whoever designed these airline
bathrooms was not wearing pantyhose. And then Becky walks on

(51:24):
the plane. Oh, everyone's exciting to see excited to see her,
including her morning co host Danny, who turns the camera
her way, and.

Speaker 3 (51:34):
I thought she came on the show later, so she's
been there like the whole time.

Speaker 4 (51:37):
No, she's a guest star this episo, it's a guest star,
so I think she's been established already.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
She end up marrying Jesse, as does Yeah. I think
season two is where she's.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
Introduced as they have kids too? Are are?

Speaker 2 (51:50):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (51:51):
They have the twits twins right, because that's what Daniel said,
is to play the twins.

Speaker 3 (51:55):
Yes, yeah, the twins twins. Yeah, you get cookies at
Eminem's two if they if they did their lines?

Speaker 1 (52:03):
Are they also billionaires?

Speaker 3 (52:05):
Probably not?

Speaker 2 (52:06):
No?

Speaker 3 (52:07):
Probably not? Okay?

Speaker 2 (52:15):
Put any great if just finds out that the odds
are if you had Eminem's shaken at you and cookies
tossed at your face when you were young.

Speaker 4 (52:25):
You.

Speaker 3 (52:28):
Put in the out there right now, it would be making.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
Believes that you have to be evil in.

Speaker 3 (52:33):
Order to give me a billionaire.

Speaker 4 (52:35):
You don't you just need to shake Eminem's at somebody billionaire.

Speaker 3 (52:43):
Well.

Speaker 2 (52:43):
Jesse springs up from his seat, surprised to see Becky,
and he says maybe the two of them could slip
away and go skiing or something, and she thanks him,
but no, she's just changing planes in Denver. She's going
to Nebraska for Christmas, and then Joey stands up and
announces that was yes, he's striking out. So I thought

(53:06):
it was very weird that later when we talked about
the Santa Brings presence but only for the Tanner family.
That also, during Jesse's whole speech about what Christmas means,
he just completely disregarded the idea that, like, her whole
thing was about seeing her family, and he was like,
it's not about cows.

Speaker 3 (53:25):
Yes, It's like it didn't matter. She's like, I really
miss my family.

Speaker 2 (53:28):
He's like yeah, He's like, yeah, you know what, we
could have our hearts here.

Speaker 3 (53:33):
Yeah, let me sing Kokomo and we'll be fine.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
Oh and then a curmudgeon old man approaches DJ, accusing
her of sitting in his seat. I've got but one
bee child, and DJ responds, no, I have one be adult,
and apparently Danny does too. So there end up being
two seats in first class, and they offered to let
DJ and Stephanie sit in first.

Speaker 3 (53:59):
Class one sea.

Speaker 1 (54:03):
The three of them have won because DA is later
satting two of them get to go.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
Okay, so Danny is sitting in who's one A because
Danny is sitting in one A.

Speaker 1 (54:12):
That's what I mean, you can't. Does Michelle get her
own seat?

Speaker 2 (54:19):
No, Michelle is sitting on Dave cool.

Speaker 1 (54:22):
Where do they Where do they land?

Speaker 3 (54:24):
Oh, don't get me started on that.

Speaker 4 (54:27):
There in Colorado and they have you land and they
keep you overnight in the baggage claim. You can't go
to the rest of the airport. You just get to
hotel baggage.

Speaker 1 (54:38):
Wait until the next morning.

Speaker 3 (54:39):
Everyone can get their own hotel room. It's yeah, go
get about The snow looked real.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
Later on the flight, still on the airplane, the stewardess
asks Danny if he enjoyed his dinner, and he says, well,
the liver wasn't bad, and she corrects him. You had
the chicken, sir, And he concludes, then it awful, awful.
So Becky enters and then ushers the girls back to
first class. It's the pilot's birthday. They're cutting the cake.
We've seen that they've had all kinds of great food.

Speaker 3 (55:10):
More of that would have been fun.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
Yeah, yeah, uh. And then Michelle realized pets the man
in front and one bee's hair, says Kitty, And then
pulls off what turns out to be a two pey.
He freaks out and grabs his hair piece, and Danny apologizes,
explaining she really loves animals. And then we get the

(55:31):
first time they sing the Girl from Impanina because apparently
it's Michelle's favorite song.

Speaker 3 (55:39):
So we're let's just keep it tally because we started
with the song.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
So we have to pretend that she's crying because of course.

Speaker 2 (55:44):
Right she's audio and the entire family sings along. Imagine
if this is your plane.

Speaker 3 (55:52):
Oh god, you lost to me with two kids in
first class?

Speaker 2 (55:58):
Will you're not that person? Are you?

Speaker 3 (56:02):
Absolutely?

Speaker 2 (56:05):
The kid can class.

Speaker 3 (56:07):
There should be an age limit for first class. It
should be thirty.

Speaker 1 (56:10):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (56:11):
Yeah, wow, I can't believe this. You don't want to
travel with my family.

Speaker 4 (56:15):
Then of course I do, as long as the kids
are in the back, and I'm fine with it.

Speaker 3 (56:21):
You'll see them. We're going to the same place.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
Then the stewardess announces there is a heavy snowstorm in
the Rocky Mountain area. They are going to be making
an unscheduled landing. Everyone groans and she responds, sorry if
I bummed you out. And now they're at the airport
and the family, covered in snow, runs inside after landing.
Stephanie's not happy and Danny ashure's or, don't worry, it's
not going to be long.

Speaker 3 (56:44):
I'm curious.

Speaker 4 (56:45):
They land at an airport that's big enough to accomplish
a wide body jet.

Speaker 6 (56:50):
Or accommodate sorry, a wide body jet, but there's no jetway,
so they have to literally are they taking the slide
to get off the place to then walk outside in
the snow to get into the airport?

Speaker 3 (57:03):
Yeah, the stairs, Okay, I guess yeah. Interesting.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
Well, the stewardess then announces, uh, they're going to be
here overnight until morning. She says, let me be the
first wishue a very merry Christmas. Danny is heartbroken. DJ
can't believe it they're going to spend Christmas in an airport,
and Stephanie says, I knew we should have never gone
on this trip. Santa will never find us now. And
then we go to a commercial break and Stephanie's on

(57:29):
the payphone pleading operator if Santa's not listed, then give
me the number for missus clause, and then she says,
how rude, which is her catchphrase.

Speaker 3 (57:39):
Is this the first time no, okay.

Speaker 2 (57:42):
I think it's episode one. I think she even says
it maybe in the pilot's been going on basically the
whole time. So Stephanie runs over to her family and
DJ says, I will handle this one. I know how
to talk to kids and this was completely unneeded. But
the man with the tupe comes over and says, is
this where your tribe is sitting? Yes, because he can't.

Speaker 1 (58:01):
See that they're literally sitting right there. I'm gonna be
way over here.

Speaker 2 (58:07):
Did they just want to remind us that he exists?

Speaker 3 (58:10):
It was because like he's not Santa, right.

Speaker 1 (58:14):
I think he is because at the end of his laptop.

Speaker 3 (58:20):
So he's supposed to be. Is it the actual collector play.

Speaker 4 (58:23):
That's what I'm wondering is if same actor Sorrow whatever
his name is, is.

Speaker 1 (58:28):
Actually I don't know. I think that might have actually
been Santa himself as a camera.

Speaker 3 (58:34):
Then Santa was on a bunch of shows that year.

Speaker 1 (58:37):
The she pulls on his beard, it does not move.
That's a that was really Santa. Well that I'm not
gonna break. Look, well, I'm playing into the fantasy of
what you want to believe.

Speaker 4 (58:51):
Santa first, unfortunately is not gonna So they're gonna Santa,
but he did get a cookie.

Speaker 2 (59:03):
They only had to shake the eminem in once they Yes.

Speaker 3 (59:07):
Santa, Santa. Hey, we're gonna add one more.

Speaker 2 (59:09):
Time over Sprace turning in the paste of the water bottle.

Speaker 3 (59:13):
Hey, he's a clicker. Santa over here there, Santa, stay
with me. I have a real, real question. Can we
air this episode?

Speaker 4 (59:24):
I don't think that the.

Speaker 3 (59:27):
Question I have as we're an hour and twenty minutes in.

Speaker 1 (59:30):
No, we're gonna be able to air this.

Speaker 3 (59:32):
This is the lost pod mey thrilled episode. We actually
have one. We do have we do have a lost
Oh my god, the girl from EA it goes long.

Speaker 1 (59:49):
Yeah, I thought that guy was supposed to be Santa too.

Speaker 3 (59:52):
Yeah, that's what I thought.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
So it was the implication.

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
So Becky is over there at the looking sad, and
Jesse's dad says that he needs to go over there
to comfort her, and he says, times of crisis always
bring people together. Trust me, I met your mother the
day Elvis got drafted, and Jesse barks back, Pop, that's
taking advantage. That might work. So then Jesse sprints over
to sit with her and asks how she's doing and

(01:00:29):
Becky admits that moving to San Francisco has made her homesick.
She was really looking forward to spending Christmas with her family.
Ten of us kids gathered around a big turkey. This
was my year for a drumstick. Jesse mentions his parents
would make her feel like part of their family, and unfazed,
Becky says, no, she hasn't seen her family in a
really long time. Her brother mentioned that Janie is really blossomed.

(01:00:52):
Jesse asks if that's her sister, and Becky corrects him, no,
my cow. She excuses herself to call home again and
and nearby, DJ is comforting Steph about their situation. She
guarantees that Steph's roller skates she asked for will be
there tomorrow, and Steph asks how she can be sure,
and DJ tells her Rudolph the red nose reindeer will
find you because his nose is radar. Danny is still

(01:01:17):
very stressed they have not found the Presence yet. The
Presence did not make it on this journey and Steph
runs over to Danny with good news. DJ explained it
Sana's going to get here with the Presence because Rudolph
has red nose radar. Danny thinks fast, explaining that red
nose radar doesn't always work in very heavy snow, and
Steph asks if that means Sanna isn't coming, and DJ

(01:01:39):
is confused. I had her all cheered up, Dad, Then
you bum her out big time. Danny says, she's old
enough to hear the truth. Now, the airline lost the
bag with their Christmas presents. DJ freaks out, what you
mean they lost my new CD player? And Danny wonders
how she knew she was getting a CD player? Did
you guys ever, Oh, just.

Speaker 3 (01:01:58):
Ask you this.

Speaker 4 (01:01:59):
Have you ever did you ever find your presence or
do any of that stuff?

Speaker 2 (01:02:02):
He never once?

Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
The big story in my house, I honestly here, here's
a story.

Speaker 3 (01:02:06):
I can't remember if it was me or my brother.

Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
I think it was me found my parents' presence and
then told like all I was supposed to relay the
information about what my parents had gotten Shiloh, And all
I said was a guy with a feather in his hat,
A guy with a feather in his hat, and shadow
was like what turns out it was like a night toy,
like a figure with like a feather in his.

Speaker 3 (01:02:30):
Hat or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:02:32):
But that was all. Uh so, yeah you can. So
that's what I still say to Indy when he's like,
when am I getting for Christmas?

Speaker 2 (01:02:38):
Like a guy.

Speaker 4 (01:02:41):
Told me she found her presence one year, and she's like,
it just ruined Christmas because she found everything. And then
she's like, I had no surprises. Yeah, that's why I
never went looking the same.

Speaker 2 (01:02:50):
I don't want to I don't really want to know.
I like the I like pretending like I want to know,
but I don't really know.

Speaker 3 (01:02:57):
Of course, you know what I'm getting right this year?

Speaker 2 (01:02:59):
Do you?

Speaker 3 (01:03:00):
Zomba pants? We've talked about it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
Oh yeah, oh those fringe pants yet, like Alex Earls,
those are the best pants.

Speaker 1 (01:03:05):
I actually do know what I'm getting. Both of you
guys haven't gotten it yet.

Speaker 2 (01:03:08):
But wow, interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:03:11):
Okay, although I guess I'll add Zombi pants to the list.

Speaker 3 (01:03:16):
We're gonna have to wear them. During our food fight.

Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
Danny turns to his family and announces this isn't going well,
and he asks for any ideas, and Jesse's mom shakes
Joey's blue bag and Joey smiles, Hey, don't give me.
It is not a pod swap. This is not a podswap.
Don't give me that.

Speaker 4 (01:03:36):
Shaking Joey's blue bag. We got to start talking about yike.

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
A little later, in the airport Michere Michelle is staring
at the old two pey Man again and then Joey,
now dressed as Santa Claus, sneaks up behind Steph. Steph
is relieved that Santa found her, and in this episode,
Steph does not know that it's Joey. She just fullys
that this is Santa and this this is really bothering writers. Yeah, yeah,

(01:04:06):
you can kind of tell it to him. Yeah. Becky
asks Jesse who that is, and Jesse responds bright eyed
Santa Claus. Santa takes a seat and tells Stephanie to
sit on his knee. She's ecstatic he knows her name.
He says, well, I know when you're sleeping, I know
when you're awake. Steph tells him she's tried to be
good this year, and he says he knows. She's been
very kind to her family and friends. Jesse's mom carries

(01:04:29):
Michelle over to Santa's lap and he exclaims ho ho
ho to Michelle and she replies, ho ho, Joey. I
wonder how many cookies that.

Speaker 3 (01:04:39):
Over here over.

Speaker 4 (01:04:45):
Do you think they had which one which one? Like
they each did a good thing, like you know what
I mean. Where it's like, oh, well, somebody's got to
walk from here to here, and they grab this get Ashley.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
The other one's a talker and the other one is
just a grabber, like they just swap them out. It's
not fully formed humans yet.

Speaker 3 (01:05:10):
There's no good or bad.

Speaker 1 (01:05:12):
They're just.

Speaker 7 (01:05:14):
There's no We cannot blaze judgments out of non fully god.

Speaker 2 (01:05:25):
If Mary Kate asked you if Santa was real? And
oh my gosh, So Michelle realizes that it's Joey and
Stephanie's shock. She pulls on his beard and she says
it is Joey. Steph is offended. She runs away and

(01:05:50):
she rushes back to her phone booth. DJ can't believe
that the presents are lost. Joey knows he's broken Stephanie's heart,
and Becky is sad she won't see her family or
her cow. DJ reminds them again but also the presence.
Danny says it's all his fault. If it wasn't for me,
we'd be spending Christmas at home instead of that baggage claim,
and then Jesse chimes in, and this went on for

(01:06:12):
so long.

Speaker 3 (01:06:13):
What was the point of this?

Speaker 1 (01:06:15):
It turns it around, I know, but is Jesse the
Christmas spirits? Guys?

Speaker 3 (01:06:21):
Why is he right? You know? What it would have
been nice?

Speaker 1 (01:06:25):
Is like, okay, even if Ganny was like, this is
all my fault and here I shouldn't have done this,
and it's all because I wanted to honor my dead
wife's family to make it to her, then it's like, oh,
that's what this is really about. If that's if it's
her family reunion that he's doing all this for, that's
the spirit of Christmas?

Speaker 3 (01:06:46):
Anything, No, just.

Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
This goes on for so long, and well because.

Speaker 3 (01:06:51):
John Stamis was gonna he was pissed off.

Speaker 1 (01:06:54):
He's gonna leave the show unless they gave him a
big Satan Grise Christmas. Give him a Christmas motlogue.

Speaker 2 (01:07:02):
What's the matter with you people? The first Christmas was
in a manger? They did? Okay, I mean, so what
if we're stuck in this crummy dump. Christmas isn't about
presents or Santa Claus or cows. It's about a feeling.
It's about people. It's about us forgetting our problems and
reaching out to help other people, and then the rest
of the gate starts listening in Christmas doesn't have to

(01:07:24):
happen in one certain place. It happens in our hearts.
And so many of these were such like such classic cliches.
I kept waiting for it to be like a joke,
and all it was was reaction shots of the family
being like he's right, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:07:39):
And the atmosphere the background, we're like starting to listen, like.

Speaker 5 (01:07:43):
Hey, wowas right to be and to be and to
be is right.

Speaker 2 (01:07:50):
Jesse asks dj what she sees near the wall, and
she answers a coat rack, but Jesse corrects her. He
sees a big, beautiful Christmas tree. He asks Joey what
he sees and answers vending machines, but no, Jesse sees
a Christmas dinner with all the trimmings. He asks his
dad what he sees, and he answers a conveyor belt.
This time, Jesse can't think of anything. It is, in fact,

(01:08:11):
just a conveyor belt. The point Jesse is trying to
make here is that they can give these kids the
best darn Christmas they've ever had, because outside the snow
is falling, Jesse leans down to the growling old man
with the tupe and friends are calling you who. He
starts to sing the lyrics and everyone joins in on
slay ride three songs. It's the whole gate claps along.

(01:08:35):
Danny grabs Stephanie from the phone booth and even now
she is starting to grin. You return from a commercial break.
We're still in the airport. Everyone is now sound asleep,
except for Michelle. She switches on the conveyor belt, moving Danny,
who appears to have fallen asleep on the baggage claim.
He disappears in Michelle waves bye Daddy.

Speaker 1 (01:08:53):
Funny beat, funny comby, funny child, always funny, cute, cute.
She's finally getting revenge for happened to do all these episodes.
Just sit down and watch it.

Speaker 3 (01:09:05):
Conta.

Speaker 1 (01:09:12):
I mean literally was like six. Yeah, that's Jody's age, right, yeah,
think about that. So think about how young the Olsen
twins were, and that is they were.

Speaker 3 (01:09:22):
She's again, they've gotta be what three here?

Speaker 4 (01:09:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:09:25):
Maybe yeah at most yikes.

Speaker 3 (01:09:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:09:29):
So dj notices the coat rack is now a makeshift
Christmas tree, and she loves it. Doesn't even matter that
there are no presents. Danny slowly rolls in on the
conveyor belt, now covered in snow. Don't ask me how
he slept through all of.

Speaker 4 (01:09:42):
Snow and like in ninety seconds days sleeping, Yeah, huh,
until it's appropriate for him to sit up. Even when
they're wiping off his face, He's like wiping everything off.

Speaker 3 (01:09:51):
Like nothing made sense.

Speaker 1 (01:09:53):
I'm watching this going, I like literally visually, moment to moment,
things don't connect and makes sense. Let alone Lodge.

Speaker 3 (01:10:00):
I mean, it's like a real lot.

Speaker 1 (01:10:02):
My god, sweater game is strong on this show and
watching the next episode. It's not just a Christmas sweater
thing every episode, I guess because the next episode they're
all wearing crazy sweaters. Crazy sweaters everyone you like them? Well, no,
I'm just saying it was the thing.

Speaker 2 (01:10:22):
She said, sweater game strong.

Speaker 4 (01:10:24):
So I was in bold and not as in ryder strong, no,
or or even just as in like good.

Speaker 1 (01:10:31):
Isn't just noteworthy and uh and loud going for sweater loud,
Sweater game loud.

Speaker 2 (01:10:38):
As they covered Danny with a blanket, Nick points to
Becky and he asks his son, what do you see
over there? Jesse responds, I see Becky by the coughing machine.
But Jesse's dad sees it differently. I see a woman
waiting to be kissed under the missiletoe, and so Jesse
makes his way over to Becky at the machine. He
wishes her a merry Christmas, and she says, you know,

(01:10:59):
if it couldn't be with my own family, it's nice
to be with yours. And he looks back at his parents,
who are feverishly motioning for him to make his move.
He decides to go for it. He points out to
her that they're standing under the missiletoe and she says, well, no,
He says, I know, but it's you know, the law,
Christmas law. She says, well, I am a law abiding citizen.

(01:11:20):
So thankfully we get actual consent.

Speaker 3 (01:11:24):
Yes, yeah, consent, kiss.

Speaker 2 (01:11:26):
Scent, and then they make out and like make out.
I know it's romantic. So they they've gone on dates
already at this point in the show. It's not like
this is their first kiss, gotcha. They I think they've
already gone out on like a date or two, which
is how he knows she only wants to be friends.

Speaker 4 (01:11:46):
And it's amazing because as I'm watching these two actors
and the thin going through my head is like their.

Speaker 3 (01:11:50):
Kids would be stunning.

Speaker 2 (01:11:52):
I know.

Speaker 3 (01:11:54):
Two gorgeous human beings. Yeah, the kids would be stunning.

Speaker 2 (01:11:57):
Yeah. So Becky pulls away and Essie musters have mercy
another catch raise? That's his catchphraise?

Speaker 5 (01:12:05):
Really?

Speaker 2 (01:12:05):
Uh huh? I have mercy is his? So Becky walks off,
and then a random older lady grabs Jesse and plants
a massive kiss on him. Lots of this was very
popular in the nineties.

Speaker 3 (01:12:17):
She also really opens her mouth.

Speaker 1 (01:12:20):
Ain't a pack half mercy?

Speaker 4 (01:12:23):
Want?

Speaker 1 (01:12:24):
I want my catchras? Can I have a catchphraise for Yeah?
For this show.

Speaker 3 (01:12:28):
I don't know why?

Speaker 1 (01:12:29):
Why have mercy for him?

Speaker 2 (01:12:32):
It's so romp.

Speaker 3 (01:12:36):
I don't like it.

Speaker 1 (01:12:38):
No, I just like the non sequitor, just like like
oola la you could negative it, doesn't you make it?

Speaker 3 (01:12:57):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:13:03):
Then Santa walks over to Stephanie, wishing her a merry Christmas.
She hesitantly asks, are you really Santa? He challenges her
to give his beard a tug and she does. It's
a real beard.

Speaker 1 (01:13:14):
Okay, so he didn't answer be in the affartmative.

Speaker 2 (01:13:17):
Right, So well he's gonna show it with all the
other things exactly. Saint Nick explains, he just wants her
to have the merriest Christmas ever. With that, he raises
his hand in the air and we hear a magical sound.
The conveyor belt starts up and the Presence appear. The
girls rush over in excitement. When Steph turns to thank Santa,
he's gone. Everyone is shocked, and Steph runs off to investigate.

(01:13:39):
Danny whispers to Joey, he probably went to change out
of your Santa costume, but Joey shakes his bag and
the costume is still in it. Jesse calls out for everyone,
and he shows them a nearby laptop screen that reads
Merry Christmas. Ho ho.

Speaker 1 (01:13:53):
Because laptops were new and like knowledge, the computer screen
could say Merry Christmas, ho ho ho.

Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
And it's very unimpressive clip art. It's just it's it's great.
And then they shake their head in disbelief. There's no way.
But then Steph returns. She saw Santa Claus flying away.
Jesse's confused. He looks to his family and asks, you think.
DJ admits she doesn't know what to think. All I
know is this turned out to be a great Christmas.

(01:14:24):
They all run off to open Presence, but Steph stays
behind she notices the laptop screen now reads thanks for
the maps, Stephanie, and it's an even worse public domain
image of Saint Nick checking his list. She smiles and whispers,
you're welcome, Santa. Danny encourages her to start opening the
presence as everyone starts singing Christmas carols. They start with

(01:14:47):
Deck the Halls, and then Danny transitions them to the
Girl from Ipanema five.

Speaker 3 (01:14:53):
Five songs in twenty two minutes, and.

Speaker 2 (01:14:55):
Then the sweet little message appears on screen, Happy Holidays
from our family to yours. And that's our episode. And
we're sorry that you guys hate us, and they don't
like it that we do these. They don't want us
ever do these yet. Yeah, I'm not. I don't. I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:15:11):

Speaker 2 (01:15:12):
Yeah, because we because we don't know them, We don't
we We basically we make fun of them and they
love them, and it's because we are snooty and really.

Speaker 1 (01:15:24):
