Speaker 1: That's a cute Caine, like a cute Mi scal bought
Speaker 1: it for me and I was like, he had to
Speaker 1: go pick up my man gesture, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're making fun of me or not,
Speaker 1: but either way it's useful, so it's fine.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, oh no, he's not making fun of you.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, yeah he is, that's true.
Speaker 3: Yeah you better me.
Speaker 2: Well, hello, hi Dody, you're upright. I am very minded.
Speaker 1: I'm upright, uh but barely and I can't like sit
Speaker 1: all the way back or move so.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I fell down my stairs, Jody, but like really.
Speaker 1: Felt not like oops I missed it, like like fell.
Speaker 3: Down my stairs, fell and you couldn't get up.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I I've never hurt my back before, like I've you know,
Speaker 1: I've got bruises and bumps in this, but never have
Speaker 1: I like hurt myself to where like you can't move
Speaker 1: your legs or like stanp because the just the shooting
Speaker 1: pain is unbearable. And uh yeah, I had stuff in
Speaker 1: my hands, had these stupid sandals on that I've fallen
Speaker 1: down in before, so those are now out.
Speaker 3: I threw them away at there done.
Speaker 1: No anyways, I have like water bottles and a couple
Speaker 1: of other things in my hand, and I'm going down the
Speaker 1: stairs to come podcasts. Right like, this was all set up.
Speaker 1: I literally had everything plugged in.
Speaker 3: I was ready to go.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I'll come downstairs, I'll get coffee.
Speaker 1: I had showered and everything. Yeah, and my feet shot
Speaker 1: out straight in front of me and I landed like
Speaker 1: on the next step down on just on my spine
Speaker 1: and right like the the lower right tailbone pelvis spine area.
Speaker 2: Ohh. And I was like in a ball.
Speaker 1: Mescal luckily was working from home, and he came running
Speaker 1: down was like, are you okay? And I just was
Speaker 1: like no, I was like crying like my back tried.
Speaker 3: To get up. I couldn't. I had to like.
Speaker 1: Slide down the thing and sort of crawl over to
Speaker 1: the couch, and even then I could only be in
Speaker 1: like one position, and even that was awful. So trying
Speaker 1: to get in the car to go to the emergency
Speaker 1: room was fun. I had to like lay down, lay
Speaker 1: the seat back and literally get on my knees and
Speaker 1: get in there and just sort of prop myself up
Speaker 1: and seat built in as best I could. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then dy when we got to the emergency room. Of course,
Speaker 1: they're doing construction, so the emergency room is totally different
Speaker 1: than it used to be, and they've taken over where
Speaker 1: you used to be able to park or pull in
Speaker 1: for like an emergency and unload the car.
Speaker 3: Whatever that is now the waiting area. Oh geez.
Speaker 1: So there's just a little small, like red curb, and
Speaker 1: then there's like nine thousand yards to get up to,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: Where you can even check in. Oh come, I couldn't walk.
Speaker 2: I could I.
Speaker 1: Couldn't lift my feet off the ground, so I was
Speaker 1: taking little shuffling slide steps of about three to four
Speaker 1: inches at a time.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, oh Joe, and I couldn't And.
Speaker 1: Everyone that walked by was like, do you need a wheelchair?
Speaker 1: I was like, I can't sit, so I'd love one,
Speaker 1: but no, and people were just.
Speaker 3: Like, oh, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: I was like, ah, I'd go for like ten feet
Speaker 1: maybe not even like ten steps, and then just have
Speaker 1: to stop and breathe and cry because it was just
Speaker 1: so painful. You thought I might have fractured my spine
Speaker 1: because of the amount of pain that I was in
Speaker 1: and my limited mobility, but I did not, So they
Speaker 1: took me back got me a little X ray. I
Speaker 1: did not break anything, but I just really severely have.
Speaker 3: Like a really horribly.
Speaker 1: Pinched nerve in my back and coughing, breathing, laying down,
Speaker 1: standing up, sitting down.
Speaker 3: It just all hurts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the rub is that you can't there's.
Speaker 1: No like, there's literally no comfortable position like sleeping at night.
Speaker 1: I can sleep on my left side, but then I'll
Speaker 1: go to roll over in the middle of the night
Speaker 1: and just scream because it wakes me up because it's
Speaker 1: like just shooting pain.
Speaker 2: When I roll over. So no, it's not fun.
Speaker 1: And mostly I'm just pissed because I'm.
Speaker 3: Like, then I can't go to the gym.
Speaker 1: Now I can't do like getting up to go get
Speaker 1: coffee is an ordeal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's such ad.
Speaker 1: But I also I'm like, I don't want to sit
Speaker 1: still and do nothing around me. But yeah, it's this
Speaker 1: is not this is not fun. It could have been
Speaker 1: way worse. I mean, I didn't break anything, for arms,
Speaker 1: limbs back.
Speaker 2: Thought you'd break something when I heard it, when I were.
Speaker 1: Like, oh, I can't I broke something honestly, when I
Speaker 1: was on the bottom of the stairs and just had
Speaker 1: this shooting like pain up my back but nothing really
Speaker 1: in my legs until I moved.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, did I I thought too.
Speaker 2: I was like, did I break my back?
Speaker 1: Because I've you know, wooden steps and it just yea,
Speaker 1: all that landed on it Lizma spine. So anyway, I'm okay,
Speaker 1: I'll be okay. But I have a cute little cane.
Speaker 1: I love that scal got me and.
Speaker 2: That's adorable and it does help.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, yeah, because I have to.
Speaker 2: I just can't.
Speaker 1: Even if I bear weight on my right leg, it
Speaker 1: sends shooting pain up my back. So uh yeah, I
Speaker 1: really did something to myself.
Speaker 2: This is a preview of the Golden years. God says,
Speaker 2: exactly right, but it's going to be.
Speaker 1: I'm living in a one story house, I'll tell you
Speaker 1: that much. One story house with a lunai.
Speaker 2: That's it. That's all I can handle.
Speaker 1: So speaking of uh well, we weren't really speaking of
Speaker 1: anything other than my back. But one thing that I
Speaker 1: that I can do is like sit in this office
Speaker 1: chair because it's big and the arms fold up so
Speaker 1: I can kind of swivel in and I but I
Speaker 1: have my little over here in the corners my little
Speaker 1: Lego area behind the curtains, and I'm currently building Notre Dame,
Speaker 1: which is gigantic. So I'm building Notre Dame and John
Speaker 1: and Staymos texted me about something and then sends me
Speaker 1: a pick sure, and he goes, look what He's like, Oh, oh,
Speaker 1: I know what it was. It was about the the
Speaker 1: full house Lego set that I posted about that me
Speaker 1: and my friend John's sosists have been designing for the
Speaker 1: Lego Creation series or whatever, and John had reposted it.
Speaker 3: For us, and he's like, oh, my gosh, how do
Speaker 3: we get this made?
Speaker 1: This is amazing, like we want to know, and then
Speaker 1: he text He goes, I've just been really into Legos lately.
Speaker 1: Look what I'm doing right now, and he texts me
Speaker 1: he's building the Disney Castle, of course, but now he's
Speaker 1: lighting it because there's like little lighting systems that you
Speaker 1: can get for so we nerded out.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, look what I'm building
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 1: And so we nerd it out about legos and what
Speaker 1: a pain it is to light them after you've built them,
Speaker 1: and my gosh, just all kinds of stuff. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm so happy.
Speaker 2: That I have a fellow Lego dude in the family.
Speaker 1: He's like, it's just so great, it's so meditatd I
Speaker 1: was like, right, just it's I just follow the instructions.
Speaker 1: I just look and I go and that's it. No
Speaker 1: one asks anything of me. I don't have to do anything.
Speaker 1: I can just yeah, it's lovely. So anyway, I love
Speaker 1: the Notre Dame is half built.
Speaker 2: Of the fact that you both have kids, but you're
Speaker 2: not building Legos with your kids. You're building like you're building.
Speaker 1: The advanced sets, like no, God no, and also like
Speaker 1: two person lego building not great, not great, because then
Speaker 1: you're like, well, now you did this, and then I
Speaker 1: got it. It just I don't know something about legos
Speaker 1: or a it's a solitary or maybe it's just because
Speaker 1: I'm an only child.
Speaker 2: I don't like to show my poice. So you're building
Speaker 2: Lego sets of all the places you're going to visit
Speaker 2: on your europe trip are you going to.
Speaker 1: And we're not going to Notre dom I just I
Speaker 1: have always loved the cathedral. I've I always thought it
Speaker 1: was beautiful. When it burnt down, I sat sobbing watching TV.
Speaker 1: I've never been there in my life. But something about
Speaker 1: it is just it's a it's just incredibly like important
Speaker 1: and I love it, and so I followed along this
Speaker 1: past five years that they've been restoring it, which just
Speaker 1: why Miscoal got it for me, because I have been.
Speaker 2: Obsessed with the restoration process.
Speaker 1: And how they found are who could replicate exactly the
Speaker 1: manner in which everything was built. So they built it
Speaker 1: exactly as it would have been.
Speaker 3: Built at the time.
Speaker 2: In what that's cool fourteen sixteen hundreds.
Speaker 1: They used all hand tools, art artisans to recreate everything,
Speaker 1: Like it's all thousands of people that they brought in
Speaker 1: from all over the world who pla practice traditional architectural
Speaker 1: building construction skills and got them all kind of in
Speaker 1: the same spot and they did. They rebuilt Notre domin
Speaker 1: in five years, which was astounded. So anyway, partially my
Speaker 1: out little sorry, just especially the little thing. And then
Speaker 1: it's cool because you go step by step and it
Speaker 1: tells you at each point like, oh, this was what
Speaker 1: was built up until eleven sixty two, and there's.
Speaker 3: Like little history in it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you're jam supersts, like this is history.
Speaker 2: Legos grow into true crime and you will be it.
Speaker 3: Oh well, I switch back and forth.
Speaker 1: I go, you know, I'll watch like I'll be watching
Speaker 1: like Dexter or American Primeval, and then I'll be like,
Speaker 1: I need some true crimes. So then I'll go over
Speaker 1: to like a you Know what Happened to? Or the
Speaker 1: Cold Case of or you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh, I got a whole little system in there. I
Speaker 1: got a little a little lamp. I got a little
Speaker 1: place for my iPad to sit so I can watch
Speaker 1: and it doesn't take up desk space.
Speaker 3: Oh that's much needed.
Speaker 1: I love a little got a little puzzle organizer separation
Speaker 1: thing so that I can separate the lego pieces as
Speaker 1: I'm going into with each bag, so that I.
Speaker 2: Know what's what. Wow, this is a This is an
Speaker 2: impressive system.
Speaker 3: Organization.
Speaker 1: Never sounded cooler than I have in the last nine.

Speaker 2: hard lesson in proper fish care when she gives her
Speaker 2: new goldfish Martin an actual bubble bath and things go
Speaker 2: belly up. Meanwhile, Becky teaches the gang to square dance.
Speaker 1: If that's not a sitcom synopsis, I don't know what is.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: We got a fish in a bubble bath and somebody's
Speaker 1: teaching square as.
Speaker 2: It seems very normal for sitcom life, you know, like
Speaker 2: this is the Tanners.
Speaker 1: This is a one most normal thing they've done on
Speaker 1: the year, right.
Speaker 2: It's true. This episode was directed by Joels Wick. It
Speaker 2: was written by Leslie Ray and David Stephen Simon and
Speaker 2: we have one guest star this week, Jason Allen as Bobby.
Speaker 3: The uncredited people hiding in the.
Speaker 2: Show just one, and he had a speaking part like, finally,
Speaker 2: I feel like we're back on track.
Speaker 3: So they didn't give the fish.
Speaker 2: Oh that's right, the fish got nothing.
Speaker 3: Rude?
Speaker 2: How rude?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: So Jason Allen, he was a child actor who appeared
Speaker 2: in three episodes of Step by Step. He was in
Speaker 2: Hey Dude, Beverly Hills nine O two and zero, and
Speaker 2: a TV mini series called Vendetta Secrets of a Mafia Bride.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I've never seen that one, but okay, so yes.
Speaker 2: So we start with the teaser in the living room,
Speaker 2: Michelle is standing in front of Jesse's band, holding her
Speaker 2: toy guitar and swaying back and forth as they play
Speaker 2: a song behind her. Here's that studio space again? Is
Speaker 2: there no other spot to set up the band except
Speaker 2: right in front of the stairs, Like this is a
Speaker 2: fire hazard?
Speaker 1: Like, come on, it's true emergency exits need to be
Speaker 1: open at all times when during business, Like it's right
Speaker 1: in front of the stairs. I'm like, scoot off, little,
Speaker 1: just do it on the sidewalk out front. And there's
Speaker 1: less schlepping involved, exactly. They Yeah, it could be like busking.
Speaker 1: They could put out some some hats or something, throw
Speaker 1: some ch bring it, bring it on through the forest,
Speaker 1: you know, a little flatter. It's a slight incline over
Speaker 1: like a couple miles. But it's easier than the stairs. Absolutely, absolutely, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right.
Speaker 2: Did Jesse just drag those drums up and down the
Speaker 2: stairs every time he wanted to band rehearsal this, don't
Speaker 2: pull the thread, don't pull I won't pull the thread.
Speaker 2: So Jesse grabs Michelle and throws her in the air
Speaker 2: to finish off their performance, and everyone cheers. Jesse sets
Speaker 2: her down and takes off her guitar, commending her on
Speaker 2: an awesome job. Michelle excitedly shouts yay Jesse and thes
Speaker 2: and Michelle. Jesse takes his place back on stage and
Speaker 2: asks for any requests. Michelle eagerly raises her hand and
Speaker 2: says ooh, ooh ooh. Jesse calls on the Young Lady
Speaker 2: and the pink ensemb and she requests play the do
Speaker 2: Wa Didty song. We're back to doua Diddy. We did
Speaker 2: this a few weeks. I haven't left. Yeah, Jesse agrees
Speaker 2: to this, but mentions that they need a very short
Speaker 2: backup singer. In response to this, Michelle raises her hand
Speaker 2: once again and says ooh, ooh, ooh. Jesse calls on
Speaker 2: her and she states, I'm short. He asks her to
Speaker 2: do the honor of singing with them, and Michelle says
Speaker 2: it would be my pleasure. Jesse sets up the mic
Speaker 2: stand for her, but when she walks up to it,
Speaker 2: we see that it's way too tall. She looks at
Speaker 2: Jesse and says, I told you I'm short. He hands
Speaker 2: her the mic and asks her to count them off.
Speaker 2: She shouts one, two, buckle my shoe and they start
Speaker 2: to play. Jesse sings the first line of the song
Speaker 2: and quickly hands it off to Michelle. She sings, do
Speaker 2: Diddy Diddy dum diddy do. They go back and forth,
Speaker 2: with Michelle taking every other line, and then she and
Speaker 2: Jesse sing together. Michelle finishes the song. Everyone cheers for
Speaker 2: this little rock star, and then she takes the reins
Speaker 2: and declares, I'm a little teapot. Hit it boys. I
Speaker 2: thought this was a I thought the teaser should have
Speaker 2: ended here, like we did not need to go into
Speaker 2: the Tikay.
Speaker 1: I was I was gonna wait till you were done
Speaker 1: with all this, but I was like, this is the
Speaker 1: This isn't a teaser, this is a you tease nothing,
Speaker 1: this is this is like a full scene.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a full scene. This is almost a
Speaker 2: full episode.
Speaker 1: We had to make dragging those the drums around both okay,
Speaker 1: I had to give it enough that.
Speaker 3: It Yeah, I could have. I could have done.
Speaker 1: With either do a didy or on a little tight,
Speaker 1: but both.
Speaker 2: Both felt way too excessive, and I don't know if
Speaker 2: they just needed to film fill more of the twenty
Speaker 2: two minutes where they short. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Well, what it is is that Michelle is incredibly demanding
Speaker 1: and no one wants to go against her.
Speaker 2: She was like, this is what we're saying, well, and
Speaker 2: this is one of the first times she's ever had
Speaker 2: interactions with adults in the house. Like she's supervised. Yeah,
Speaker 2: she's excited to just get attention.
Speaker 1: She just wandered down while they were all playing music,
Speaker 1: was like, hey, guys, what are you doing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So Jesse and the band look at each other
Speaker 2: with confusion, but Michelle repeats her request with more. She's
Speaker 2: very demanding in this season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I said play the Teapot song.
Speaker 2: The Rippers oblige and Michelle sings a rock rendition of
Speaker 2: the classic I'm a Little Teapot with the dance moves
Speaker 2: and everything. They finish off the song by Michelle's strumming,
Speaker 2: Jesse's guitar and shouting rock and roll, and the twenty
Speaker 2: two minute teaser is finally over.
Speaker 1: And now it's time for the six minutes left for
Speaker 1: our show. Yeah, yeah, that was that was a long.
Speaker 1: It was a long unnecessary because it didn't for me, yes,
Speaker 1: and it didn't tie into the rest of the episode.
Speaker 1: It was just another well it never does then that's
Speaker 1: fine when the teaser doesn't can stand alone, but this
Speaker 1: felt like we were setting it up for something that
Speaker 1: we're supposed to be invested in here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's just just more Michelle. That's it was
Speaker 2: very cute, But yeah, they could they could have split
Speaker 2: that into two teasers and used one for the next week,
Speaker 2: you know. Right. So next in the living room, Becky
Speaker 2: and Jesse are making out on the couch because that's
Speaker 2: what you do in this house. Becky pulls away with
Speaker 2: a huge smile on her face, telling him in one
Speaker 2: week we'll be saying, I do this came up fast
Speaker 2: like this?
Speaker 1: Well, remember what was it six weeks or something that
Speaker 1: they had to play.
Speaker 2: That's like, I know they want to do this on
Speaker 2: Valentine's Day, but this is so fast.
Speaker 1: They couldn't have They could have picked Valentine's Day in
Speaker 1: ninety two. You give it a year and a few months, right,
Speaker 1: give him time. And they were like nope, now it's
Speaker 1: it's now or never. Well, she didn't want Jesse to,
Speaker 1: you know, hop in his bike and change his mind again,
Speaker 1: so she's like, we.
Speaker 2: Gotta do this. That's a real danger. Actually that's a
Speaker 2: real possibility. Yes, exactly, nab him while he's still there.
Speaker 2: So Jesse mindlessly asks I do what and Becky grabs
Speaker 2: a pillow and smacks him across the face with it,
Speaker 2: and he realizes, oh that that I do right. Becky
Speaker 2: sarcastically reminds him of their wedding, which will include friends, family,
Speaker 2: a cake, square dancing, photographers, and Jesse immediately cuts her
Speaker 2: off in questions, did you just say square and dance
Speaker 2: in the same sentence?
Speaker 3: What is Becky such a hicic? I don't like this.
Speaker 2: She's like Nebraska it's not it's not. Yeah, it's not Hickland.
Speaker 2: There there's some lovely people in Nebraska. Shout out to Nebraska,
Speaker 2: ambassas to Nebraska. I mean it's farm town. But yeah,
Speaker 2: they've turned her into a hick. Yeah. It's one thing
Speaker 2: to say, Oh, I used to milk cows or what
Speaker 2: you know, one of these little references.
Speaker 1: I grew up on a farm, right right. But square
Speaker 1: dancing again, maybe it's very popular Nebraska, Nebraska its but
Speaker 1: let us know, do you spend an an ordinate amount
Speaker 1: of time square dancing.
Speaker 2: In the state. We would like to like to know.
Speaker 3: Was it something that you did a lot in the
Speaker 3: early nineties?
Speaker 2: Traditional web dance too? Yeah, we need answers, answers, and
Speaker 2: is it what do you call yourself Nebraskans or Nebraska
Speaker 2: nights Nebraska and Nebraska Nebraska. I don't know. Okay, we
Speaker 2: need Nebraska, we need Nebraskans residents of Nebraska. I't think
Speaker 2: we're already going off the rails. This is I blame
Speaker 2: my back. Okay, we'll blame your back. So Becky says, oh,
Speaker 2: did I forget to mention that? Well, my family always
Speaker 2: tops off every big bash with a good old fashioned
Speaker 2: square dance. You know a Donaldson tradition. Okay, you're here, Okay.
Speaker 2: Jesse tells her that the cuts up a lie have
Speaker 2: a tradition too. Every Christmas, his uncle Nick tries to
Speaker 2: balance a ham on his forehead, But that doesn't mean
Speaker 2: they have to do it at their wedding.
Speaker 3: Isn't his dad's name?
Speaker 1: Nick?
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was either this.
Speaker 3: Is maybe it was mom. Maybe it's mom brother.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I thought the same thing too.
Speaker 3: I was like, gott Nick one and Nick cho, Yeah,
Speaker 3: this is thing.
Speaker 2: Come on, people, be more creative with your names. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I think it must have been Mama Cassopolis's brother. Whatever.
Speaker 2: Don't pull that thread either. There's a lot of threads
Speaker 2: we're not pulling this week. So then Danny walks in,
Speaker 2: smiling from ear to ear as he carries a big
Speaker 2: stuffed bear in his arms. He tells Becky and Jesse, gee,
Speaker 2: I love the fair, the chili dogs, the fudge, the
Speaker 2: cotton candy, the nachos, the rides that go round and round.
Speaker 2: And his face starts to sour at the thought, and
Speaker 2: he continues. The cramps, the gas, the nausea.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, you just can't do that. One year an
Speaker 1: adult can't do it like you. Oh, you'll pay for
Speaker 1: that for days. Oh, I used to love the little
Speaker 1: gravity thing.
Speaker 2: You just spit around.
Speaker 3: You don't crawl upside down. I'm going like six seven
Speaker 3: times in a row. Now I look at it like you.
Speaker 2: No, Nope, not for me. So Michelle picks up the
Speaker 2: conversation from there and holds up a plastic bag filled
Speaker 2: with water and announces, I got a fishy. Joey encourages
Speaker 2: Michelle to tell everyone how she got it, and she explains,
Speaker 2: I threw a ball into his bowl. They congratulate her
Speaker 2: on the impressive accomplishment, and Danny adds, yeah, at a
Speaker 2: quarter to throw it. It only cost me eighteen dollars
Speaker 2: fifty cents.
Speaker 3: Not always the truth, it is.
Speaker 1: Oh god, those you spend those stupid carnival games.
Speaker 3: I mean they're made again. It's like a casino.
Speaker 1: They're made to be difficult and then once in a
Speaker 1: while they'll throw you a.
Speaker 2: Low crumb yep. And the parents like I could have
Speaker 2: bought five of these for the price of the tickets
Speaker 2: to play.
Speaker 1: They could have gone to a pet store and gotten
Speaker 1: a ton of fish. Yeah, but everyone needs to have
Speaker 1: the experience of a carnival fish in there.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, this is a rite of passage. Absolutely teaches you
Speaker 2: how fleeting life is. Yes, it's a philosophical lesson, but
Speaker 2: this is quick when it comes to goldish. Oh, yes,
Speaker 2: well in a plastic bag. So Michelle holds up the
Speaker 2: fish and says, you're going to sleep in my bed,
Speaker 2: but Joey intervenes and leads Michelle away so they can
Speaker 2: find a fish bowl instead. Becky asks Danny where are
Speaker 2: the girls, and Danny explains DJ's out saying goodbye to
Speaker 2: a boy she met at the carnival, and Jesse is
Speaker 2: surprised that he's not watching her every move. Danny act shocked,
Speaker 2: insisting that he didn't need to spy on DJ, but
Speaker 2: that's only because he told Stephanie to spy on her. Ah. Yes, yes,
Speaker 2: the little sister sister. We cut to the front porch
Speaker 2: and DJ and the boy are right outside the front door,
Speaker 2: standing face to face. The boy tells her he had
Speaker 2: a great time today, and she happily responds, so did I, Bobby,
Speaker 2: And then steph appears and walks right in between the couple,
Speaker 2: saying so did I Bobby. DJ moves her aside and
Speaker 2: asks what is she still doing here? Stephanie responds, the
Speaker 2: three of us were having so much fun. It just
Speaker 2: wouldn't be the same without me. At that moment, a
Speaker 2: loud car passes by and Bobby's eyes go wide. Whoa
Speaker 2: did you see that seventy one Corvette go by? He
Speaker 2: starts to list off some of the features of this
Speaker 2: specific car, and DJ plays along, acting as though she
Speaker 2: loves cars just as much as him. Steph rolls her
Speaker 2: eyes and says, oh please, at the fagness, You're just
Speaker 2: you're brutal. You're not letting us with this. Here we go. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but uh. Bobby pays no mind to this and asks
Speaker 2: DJ what her favorite car is. She nervously answers, uh, red,
Speaker 2: and Bobby nods with realization. Oh you mean the new
Speaker 2: red portion nine to eleven turbo. She nods, that's the one.
Speaker 2: Bobby tells DJ how badly he wants that car, admitting
Speaker 2: all he needs is his driver's license and eighty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: DJ offers him a faint smile, and Bobby tells her
Speaker 2: I'll call you tomorrow and we can talk about cars.
Speaker 2: S Key has no game whatsoever at all, not bring
Speaker 2: back Ricky a paper boy man gave me.
Speaker 3: Ricky paper Boy all day long.
Speaker 1: Ricky Bobby, Ricky Bobby, Ricky Bobby.
Speaker 3: Have you never seen Tall the Day at Night?
Speaker 2: No, I'm I'm very sure I haven't seen.
Speaker 1: Hopped up on Mountain Dewon coming you like a spider Monkey.
Speaker 2: No. No, that's a quote from the It's brilliant. I
Speaker 2: gotta add that. I gotta added to my list. So okay,
Speaker 2: it's it's.
Speaker 1: Uh John c Riley and uh and Will Ferrell.
Speaker 2: I admit I am very like culturally unaware. I haven't
Speaker 2: seen but the.
Speaker 1: Character that was his name play as is Ricky Bobby.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, And so that's okay, I get it now. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I haven't seen took Us off On. I haven't seen Dynamite.
Speaker 2: I haven't seen the Star Wars movies. Like I am
Speaker 2: just very well the Star Wars. NA I miss much.
Speaker 1: Napoleon Dynamite was funny at the time, but I feel
Speaker 1: like now you'd be.
Speaker 2: Like, okay, this was a good S and l sco
Speaker 2: Oh okay.
Speaker 1: Although it is, it's it's pretty funny. Pocket Tots, I
Speaker 1: mean you gotta love pocket tomes.
Speaker 2: No nothing, nothing, okay, nothing, nothing, I am you got anyway?
Speaker 3: Back to back to the show, back to.
Speaker 2: The show once uh. Once Bobby's out of Steph mocks
Speaker 2: her older sister, Oh, Bobby, I love cars. Barfar rama.
Speaker 2: She throws the front door open and walks away. Next
Speaker 2: to Michelle's room, Michelle is watching her new fish swim
Speaker 2: around his tiny fish bowl. She's doing a fishy face
Speaker 2: for him, and Joey points out how happy the little
Speaker 2: fish looks. He's grinning from gil to gil. Michelle asks
Speaker 2: if it's a boyfish or a girlfish. Joey asks what
Speaker 2: she plans on naming the pet, and Michelle thinks for
Speaker 2: a moment before deciding Martin. Joey declares that it's a boyfish.
Speaker 2: Then he ponders, Martin fish sounds like my accountant. He
Speaker 2: asks Michelle how she came up with the name Martin,
Speaker 2: and Michelle matter of factly states because that's his name,
Speaker 2: yo right, wearing a name tag. Joey reminds her that
Speaker 2: owning a pet is a very big responsibility. She will
Speaker 2: be in charge of feeding him every single day. Michelle
Speaker 2: decides that Martin can have all of her vegetables. That's
Speaker 2: quite generous, but Martin prefers fish food. He shows her
Speaker 2: how much to give the fish, and she gives it
Speaker 2: a try, just a little pinch. Joey also reminds Michelle
Speaker 2: that she needs to keep his bowl clean, and Michelle recites,
Speaker 2: pinch of food, keep him clean. You got it, dude.
Speaker 2: Then she picks up his bowl and starts to walk
Speaker 2: out the door. Joey asks what she's doing, and she explains,
Speaker 2: I'm taking Martin for a walk. Joey tells her one
Speaker 2: of the first rules of pet care, if they don't
Speaker 2: have legs, you don't walk them. Michelle sets the bowl
Speaker 2: down and sighs, there is so much to remember, and
Speaker 2: she goes back to making fishy faces.
Speaker 1: All right, Martin's going to meet an unfortunate man mark.
Speaker 2: You can just see it coming.
Speaker 1: Did you ever have a did junior kids ever have
Speaker 1: a carnival fish?
Speaker 2: Yes, I've lived this episode, the carnival fish, the death,
Speaker 2: the replacement, like all of it.
Speaker 1: We had a carnival fish that lasted a while while
Speaker 1: we were on Fuller really had in the house. We
Speaker 1: had mister Cheesey. Mister cheese Easy lasted for a while.
Speaker 1: It's a while like that could mean I don't know,
Speaker 1: like a year.
Speaker 2: What, Oh, that's a literally long time.
Speaker 1: We'll tank for him and whatever. And then at one
Speaker 1: point I think we were in when we went when
Speaker 1: I went on my church to Thailand and then we
Speaker 1: all shot in Japan.
Speaker 2: I wasn't home, so I couldn't clean.
Speaker 3: His take for like three weeks or whatever.
Speaker 1: And then I got home and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm going to clean your take, mister cheesy, and I
Speaker 1: think I sent him into shock and.
Speaker 3: He didn't make it, poor mister cheesy.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: And then we tried getting other fish and it just
Speaker 1: never was.
Speaker 2: It's not the same.
Speaker 3: One would eat the other one.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I would wake up and we're like,
Speaker 1: oh god, there's been a battle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, fisher, it can. It's definitely a good learning
Speaker 2: a learning lesson for kids about life and death and
Speaker 2: taking care of pets. And one goldfish we had ended
Speaker 2: up jumping out of the bowl and like kind of
Speaker 2: unlived himself that way, like alive. Yeah, and my kids
Speaker 2: discovered it did you do to that poor fish? He
Speaker 2: just didn't like his maybe the water was dry, I
Speaker 2: don't know. He didn't like his surroundings. So he's like
Speaker 2: he's like I've had enough of this wow craziness. So
Speaker 2: next in Jesse's room, Jesse is organizing his hair combs
Speaker 2: when Becky walks in. She tells him she has a
Speaker 2: surprise and sets a CD player down on his nightstand.
Speaker 2: She presses play and we hear a banjo. She snaps
Speaker 2: along to the square dancing music as Jesse stares at
Speaker 2: her in horror. He finally asks what in the he
Speaker 2: haw is that? Becky's very excited. She tells him it's
Speaker 2: time for your square dance lesson. Jesse let's out of
Speaker 2: laugh and tells her, oh, he'd love to, but he's very,
Speaker 2: very busy right now. But Becky points out that he's
Speaker 2: just playing with his hair brushes. When she tries to
Speaker 2: touch them, he swats her away and explains, I just
Speaker 2: added a lazy Susan to my hair, a Kutaman center
Speaker 2: for easy access.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is your man, Becky, this
Speaker 1: is this is what you're marrying.
Speaker 2: Take it in. Yes, it's I mean, at least he's organized.
Speaker 2: I was impressed with the organizational system. Yeah, very great,
Speaker 2: but yeah, was it excessive? Absolutely so. As he's showing
Speaker 2: off this contraption, DJ walks in and asks for Jesse's help.
Speaker 2: Becky tells her that he can't help right now because
Speaker 2: he's too busy a couterment team. DJ explains that she
Speaker 2: just needs to borrow some of Jesse's car magazines. Jesse
Speaker 2: grabs a couple of copies and asks, since when are
Speaker 2: you interested in cars? Deej Since when is Jesse interested
Speaker 2: in cars?
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, well, he likes his motorcycle, okay,
Speaker 1: but cars, I guess it's.
Speaker 2: You've started taking the leap from two wheels to branching
Speaker 2: out from motorcycles and has car magazines. Okay, the joke
Speaker 2: has to work. This is a right, this is a
Speaker 2: plot deviser. So DJ fibbs that she's in a rut
Speaker 2: and needs a new hobby. But Jesse sees right past
Speaker 2: this and asks who's the boy? Becky butts in, are
Speaker 2: you saying that just because she's a girl, she can't
Speaker 2: be interested in cars. Jesse looks to DJ for confirmation,
Speaker 2: and she admits his name's Bobby. He's calling tomorrow and
Speaker 2: I told him I knew everything about cars. Jesse admits,
Speaker 2: I always liked when a girl was into the same thing.
Speaker 2: I was shocking.
Speaker 1: Jesse being like I always liked when they did the
Speaker 1: things I liked to do.
Speaker 2: That's Jesse's statement.
Speaker 1: Well, and then Becky literally is like yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Becky says, oh, she shouldn't pretend to like something just
Speaker 2: to make someone else happy. Jesse smirks with satisfaction. Really so,
Speaker 2: I guess that takes me off the square dancing hook.
Speaker 2: Then Becky tells him, well, that's different. He doesn't have
Speaker 2: to pretend he likes it. In fact, she doesn't care
Speaker 2: if he hates it. He's still doing it. It's the
Speaker 2: difference with Mary. Yes, true, you don't like it, you're
Speaker 2: doing it anyway.
Speaker 3: I don't care, that's right.
Speaker 2: Yeah. This prompts a full blown argument between the couple,
Speaker 2: and DJ watches for a moment before admitting, you guys,
Speaker 2: sound like you're married already. Jesse tells Becky he's putting
Speaker 2: his foot down and stomps on the floor to emphasize
Speaker 2: his point. Becky smiles and tells him that's a good start.
Speaker 2: She next she instructs him to put his hands on
Speaker 2: his hips and circle his partner like she's really she's
Speaker 2: really stuck on this, and I admire I admire her
Speaker 2: for sticking to her guns, like she wants this and.
Speaker 1: She's gonna make it happen. But my god, Becky, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm in a little judgment that she's sticking
Speaker 1: to her gun so hard.
Speaker 2: On scarre dancing, right, stick to your guns on cake
Speaker 2: or flowers or your dress.
Speaker 3: Or not the Elvis theme.
Speaker 2: But I mean that's the thing.
Speaker 3: Okay, so he doesn't get to do Elvis, but you
Speaker 3: get to. But you have a square dance. Yeah that's true.
Speaker 2: That's true. I mean it's square dancing maybe a little
Speaker 2: better than getting married in Graceland. Maybe.
Speaker 1: Are they gonna have the square dancing outfits though? You know,
Speaker 1: the big poofy skirts. Yeah, yeah, gotta have the first.
Speaker 2: Grade and the hay on the ground, Like I feel
Speaker 2: like this is a whole different theme. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Perhaps I don't know if hayes as essential, but I
Speaker 1: know the poofy skirts are definitely it's essential.
Speaker 2: The thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the look like clogged shoes.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, oh, Becky, this is that's okay. We love Becky.
Speaker 2: She's a great she's a great character. Every Mineah, everything
Speaker 2: that she's put up with. Make Kim square dance for
Speaker 2: an hour by himself. Give this woman a square dance
Speaker 2: like she is. Give her a square dance. She's earned it.
Speaker 2: So next we're in the bathroom, Michelle, and I'm so
Speaker 2: happy the bathroom's finally it makes sense. Now, remember last
Speaker 2: week I was confused because the sink was on the
Speaker 2: other side of the door. You're right, replaced the sink,
Speaker 2: the sink where the old sink was. It's now just
Speaker 2: like a dresser or something. Right, So, yeah, it was
Speaker 2: that episode where you guys busted the sink open looking
Speaker 2: for the ring. Yeah. I feel better now, I feel
Speaker 2: better about the situation.
Speaker 1: Right, And you know what I feel really good about
Speaker 1: is a toddler drawing a bath for herself.
Speaker 2: Now adult supervision. I know it's it doesn't It didn't
Speaker 2: even phase the writers, Like this has been going on
Speaker 2: for seasons now, you know whatever. So Michelle, she's setting
Speaker 2: up this bubble bath. It's filled with lots of toys.
Speaker 2: As she's doing this, Joey walks in and reminds her
Speaker 2: she's not supposed to take baths by herself. Okay, so
Speaker 2: it was a little late for that, Joey. At least
Speaker 2: they acknowledged to be cast. Yeah, yeah, she could have.
Speaker 3: It's fine. I get it, she could have tipped over.
Speaker 2: So Michelle insists that she's not taking a bath by herself,
Speaker 2: but Joey doesn't believe her, But then he spots the
Speaker 2: empty fish bowl sitting besides the bathtub. Joey nervously asks
Speaker 2: her where Martin is, and Michelle happily responds he's taking
Speaker 2: a bubble bath. Joey frantically runs towards the tub and
Speaker 2: fishes Martin out of the SuDS. Michelle assures Joey that
Speaker 2: he's almost finished, but when we see Martin, he's floating
Speaker 2: upside down in his bowl. Oh poor Martin. Sad Demid
Speaker 2: is was it an actual show? And I think it was?
Speaker 2: And they kept showing it. I was like, this is
Speaker 2: is this triggering for someone?
Speaker 1: I mean it, I don't they weren't as concerned about
Speaker 1: the welfare of goldfish in nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 2: It'd be upsetting for this is a showman for kids,
Speaker 2: And if kids are watching this and looking at this
Speaker 2: close up of a dead fish, I'm like, that's a
Speaker 2: I don't know, I mean, it wasn't.
Speaker 3: He wasn't, you know, chopped in half?
Speaker 2: True?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just sort of floating belly up.
Speaker 2: I wonder if it was a real fish or I
Speaker 2: don't know. I know, it's the nineties. Who knows what
Speaker 2: they did. Yeah, props and props was probably just like, yeah,
Speaker 2: let's me grab a fish and oh. Anyways, so Michelle
Speaker 2: explains that she's keeping him clean, and Joey tells her
Speaker 2: he's clean, clean as a doornail, door, clean as a doornail.
Speaker 2: It's supposed to be clean as a whistle or dead
Speaker 2: as a doornail, so he's combining the two. Is that
Speaker 2: what the joke is?
Speaker 3: No, I mean yes, I don't know. Yeah, well, because
Speaker 3: it's supposed to be he's.
Speaker 1: Dead as a doornow, but he's clean as okay, so
Speaker 1: that's it was intentional.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Michelle notices that Martin isn't swimming, so she
Speaker 2: asks if he's sleeping. Joey nods, yeah, he's taking a
Speaker 2: very long nap. Michelle grabs the bowl from him and
Speaker 2: gives Martin a friendly tease, you fell asleep in the bathtub,
Speaker 2: You're a silly fish, and Joey lets her walk out
Speaker 2: of the bathroom carrying Martin's corpse in a bowl. Hey,
Speaker 2: I you know, this is a life lesson. This is
Speaker 2: a life lesson. Y's just taking a while to get there,
Speaker 2: So next to Jesse's room, Joey corrals Danny and Jesse
Speaker 2: into the room to break the news Martin Tanner is dead.
Speaker 2: Sadness instantly washes over Danny and he sighs, I can't
Speaker 2: believe this, the poor who's Martin Tanner? Joey tells him
Speaker 2: it's Michelle's fish, and Jesse is more confused than heartbroken,
Speaker 2: asking he died already. Isn't there like a six hour
Speaker 2: warranty on those things?
Speaker 1: You'd hope, But just getting him home sometimes is the
Speaker 1: hard part.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they come in a little bowl and then you're
Speaker 3: slashing it around.
Speaker 2: That's a lot of stress on a fish. Absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 2: Danny asks if Joey is sure that the fish is dead,
Speaker 2: and Joey points out that he can tell the difference
Speaker 2: between a live fish versus what Martin Tanner is looking
Speaker 2: like right now. Jesse asks how Michelle is taking it,
Speaker 2: and Joey admits she's fine at the moment, considering she
Speaker 2: believes he's just sleeping. He didn't have the heart to
Speaker 2: tell her, Jesse mocks his friend. Don't you think she'll
Speaker 2: figure it out? The thing is probably floating at the
Speaker 2: top of the bowl. See Joey suggests that they put
Speaker 2: him on a little rubber raft and pretend like he's
Speaker 2: working on his tan.
Speaker 1: Joey, it's a fish, guys, it's a fish not and
Speaker 1: no one's don't come at me and be like fish
Speaker 1: are people too, They're not. Okay, it was a goldfish,
Speaker 1: and just just tell her the goldfishes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know you. I don't know. I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't I guess. I don't get.
Speaker 1: Why it's takes three adult men to be able to
Speaker 1: break this advice.
Speaker 2: They're so afraid of her, you know. That's why she's
Speaker 2: on supervisant. Is she's a tyrant, she's a therapist. Like
Speaker 2: they just don't even know how to handle. Like, what's
Speaker 2: gonna happen if she finds out the fish is dead.
Speaker 2: She's gonna need coming for some scopies herself after this, right,
Speaker 2: So uh, Danny reminds him that either way, this fish
Speaker 2: is not a fun pet anymore, so they should tell
Speaker 2: Michelle the truth. Jesse agrees, saying Michelle is a big girl.
Speaker 2: It's time we explain to her the realities of life
Speaker 2: and death. See thank you yes, yeah the beginning. Pats
Speaker 2: Danny and tells him to update the guys on how
Speaker 2: that goes. But Danny grabs both of them and forces
Speaker 2: them to join him for this tough discussion.
Speaker 1: What's gonna happen when they actually have to have tough decisions,
Speaker 1: like tough discussions beyond you know, a goldfish die. Well,
Speaker 1: there's the I mean they already broke well, no, I
Speaker 1: was gonna say they already had to break the news
Speaker 1: once that Michelle lost a parent, but then I was like,
Speaker 1: she's a.
Speaker 2: She was too young and the death was coming up.
Speaker 2: I don't know what season that is, but I don't.
Speaker 2: Did they just say he's sleeping? Is he working on
Speaker 2: his chan? Like?
Speaker 1: I don't, right, I put him in a small plastic Yes, well,
Speaker 1: I mean they do once.
Speaker 2: What they do? It's yeah, I know, I know, but
Speaker 2: it's it's yes this, Yes, I think I'm trying to
Speaker 2: come up with some one. I'm trying to come up
Speaker 2: with a response. I have none. There's no response to that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's nothing to do respond to. So next we're in
Speaker 2: Michelle's room. Michelle walks up to Martin's fishbowl holding her
Speaker 2: stuffed pig. She offers to let him sleep with the
Speaker 2: pig tonight, and that's when the guy's walk in. Danny
Speaker 2: sits down next to his daughter as Jesse and Joey
Speaker 2: stand off to the side. Danny tells Michelle that they
Speaker 2: have something to tell her about Martin, and Michelle notes
Speaker 2: that he's an excellent sleeper. Danny tells her that he
Speaker 2: isn't sleeping, he's gone. Michelle points to the fish bowl
Speaker 2: and tells her dad, no, he's not. He's right here,
Speaker 2: and Danny explains that he might be there physically, but
Speaker 2: in another sense, he's everywhere. Jesse jumps in. I don't
Speaker 2: think they teach philosophy until kindergarten. He takes a crack
Speaker 2: at telling Michelle the fish's unfortunate fate. Darling, I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: but your fish is the best sleeper in town. These
Speaker 2: men are chicken. You know they are chicken. Come on, guys,
Speaker 2: this is it's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: I gets it. Yeah again, I mean it's you know,
Speaker 3: the joke's gotta work.
Speaker 2: It's gotta be a thing they gotta fill twenty two minutes.
Speaker 2: The teaser was only you know.
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty Well, right, that's and now I see why
Speaker 1: the teaser was so long.
Speaker 3: They were like, how do we drag this out?
Speaker 1: These three adult men who can't say that the fish
Speaker 1: is gone?
Speaker 2: This it's kind of a filler episode and it's still
Speaker 2: not full enough to fill the twenty two minutes. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so uh so, since he can't break the news either,
Speaker 2: it's now Joey's turn. He asks Michelle if she remembers
Speaker 2: that one road Runner cartoon where Wiley E Coyote falls
Speaker 2: off the cliff. It's it's Wiley, it's not it's Wile,
Speaker 2: not Wiley while.
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be Whyley coyote, but while E coyote, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not Wiley E.
Speaker 2: That's why, just why, I just say Wyley wyle E.
Speaker 2: So do you do? You take the pause while eat
Speaker 2: this is diction, watch your diction issition.
Speaker 1: So while w I l E is his name, and
Speaker 1: then E period is his middle name, and then Coo.
Speaker 2: Coyote is the last name, So I can say Wiley, Yes,
Speaker 2: that's that's what it's no say that either way.
Speaker 1: You're just saying it with there you said you said
Speaker 1: Wyley the E coyote and there was only there's only
Speaker 1: one y Lee. You know what I mean, this is
Speaker 1: why did I kick this?
Speaker 3: Why is this the hill.
Speaker 2: That I'm gonna die today? Why are we shocking about this?
Speaker 2: Okay cares.
Speaker 1: So the coyote falls off a cliff, So anyway, coyote's dead.
Speaker 2: Coyote dies, he's splats on the floor.
Speaker 1: You can talk about a coyote falling off of of
Speaker 1: a mountain, but they can't say that the goldfish is dead.
Speaker 2: No, no, totally. It's one's a cartoon, one's real life.
Speaker 2: You know this. Michelle is staring at him with confusion,
Speaker 2: like these guys are making it worse. So poor child
Speaker 2: is so confused, and Joey continues to over explain this
Speaker 2: cartoon scene. Finally, finally, Danny decides to step in and
Speaker 2: tell Michelle that her fish is dead. Thank you. Michelle frowns,
Speaker 2: this is not good news. Danny tries to light in
Speaker 2: her spirits. No fish lives forever, and Jesse chimes, and
Speaker 2: then the important thing is to remember all the happy
Speaker 2: times that you and Martin had together. He tries to
Speaker 2: point out specific instances for her, like the car ride home,
Speaker 2: the walk to your room. I guess that's about it. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: it was very long. It did not last long. So
Speaker 2: then Danny takes the fish bowl and Michelle asks where
Speaker 2: he's taking Martin. Danny tells her that they're going to
Speaker 2: give him a proper burial at sea. Michelle assumes that
Speaker 2: they're going to take him to the ocean, and Jesse
Speaker 2: nods well. Eventually, Michelle waves at her dead fish and
Speaker 2: sadly says bye bye Martin. Danny asks Michelle if she
Speaker 2: has any other questions about the fish, and Michelle asks,
Speaker 2: how did Martin die? Joey admits that he died in
Speaker 2: the bubble bath, and Michelle sadly remembers, I put him
Speaker 2: in there. Joey explains, when I told you that fishies
Speaker 2: like to be clean, just like people, I should have
Speaker 2: also mentioned that fishies don't take bubble baths all size.
Speaker 2: Now you tell me. Danny reminds her it was just
Speaker 2: an accident. You understand that, don't you, and she nods yes,
Speaker 2: I do. It's all my fault. Dang.
Speaker 1: Well, she's in one of the seven stages of grief.
Speaker 1: She's got a you know, process through the so she's
Speaker 1: just in the in the anger stage.
Speaker 2: She's angry at herself, she's bargaining, she's passed through denial.
Speaker 2: She's bargaining. Yeah, yeah, well yeah she was in denial.
Speaker 1: Was like, no, it's not it's kind No, fish is out. Okay,
Speaker 1: So now we're on to the next one. And and
Speaker 1: then then yes, she's working through all the all seven stages. Yeah,
Speaker 1: which she's read about extensively in her work as a therapist.
Speaker 3: So when she she knows, she kind of knows what
Speaker 3: to expect.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I'm sure her her doctorate thesis was
Speaker 2: about death in the family. Like, she's got lots of
Speaker 2: experience here. So there you go.
Speaker 1: Well, and you think that it would make it easier,
Speaker 1: but apparently it's still a thing, still a thing.
Speaker 2: So we cut to a very sad commercial break, and
Speaker 2: when we come back, we're in the kitchen. Danny and
Speaker 2: Joey are covering an object with a towel, and once
Speaker 2: they're done, they call out to Jesse, telling him he
Speaker 2: can come in. Jesse appears with Michelle and he flies
Speaker 2: her into the room like Superman. She tells the guys,
Speaker 2: I'm coming, I'm coming, and he lends her on the
Speaker 2: chair and she declares, I'm here. Danny tells her they
Speaker 2: have a special surprise for her. Michelle glances at the
Speaker 2: covered item and questions a towel. Danny tells her it's
Speaker 2: under the towel, and he pulls this.
Speaker 1: I feel like Michelle's not too bright if she can't,
Speaker 1: if she doesn't know that the fish is dead and
Speaker 1: it's floating, and that there's something under the towel, I'm
Speaker 1: a little concerned. Well, maybe you know she turned her
Speaker 1: BRAINNP after she got that doctorate thesis.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's just she's under dress, so yeah, she's she's
Speaker 2: just she's struggling a bit right now in her she's
Speaker 2: on the floor stage of Okay, yeah, maybe that's it.
Speaker 2: I don't know. So Danny pulls off the towel and
Speaker 2: reveal a tank. It's her brand new fish, but Michelle
Speaker 2: stares at the gift without an ounce of happiness and
Speaker 2: says no, thank you. Jesse lends some words of encouragement,
Speaker 2: telling her the fish he likes her because he's wagging
Speaker 2: his tail. Joey adds that the fish's name is Freddy
Speaker 2: and he's saying hi to her. Michelle watches the fish
Speaker 2: with sadness and says, watch out, Freddy, I'm big trouble. Mister.
Speaker 2: Danny tries to comfort her, telling her that what happened
Speaker 2: to Martin was just an accident. Plus, Freddy doesn't live
Speaker 2: in a fish bowl. He lives in a fish palace,
Speaker 2: complete with a filter and some gravel and a living
Speaker 2: snail that cleans the tank three times a week. But
Speaker 2: Michelle is still scarred from her last experience, like this,
Speaker 2: This girl has trauma nouns.
Speaker 1: This isn't gonna write this is this is horrific. This
Speaker 1: is the biggest trauma that she's facing.
Speaker 2: It's not just the death she's blamed herself for, which
Speaker 2: it kind of She's.
Speaker 3: Like, I I killed you. I'm a horrible person. And
Speaker 3: she's going to live with this shame for a long time.
Speaker 2: It's going to follow her for the rest of her life.
Speaker 1: You know what, She's probably gonna turn to sugar to
Speaker 1: help her, Like at some point she's gonna just start
Speaker 1: shoving sugar in her mouth.
Speaker 2: Where is this cookie trying to be right?
Speaker 1: That's her, that's her coping mechanism, her only coping mechanism.
Speaker 3: So well, you know, I mean.
Speaker 1: She was left alone to put the fish in the
Speaker 1: bubble bat. So really this is on the adults of that.
Speaker 2: House, right, it is.
Speaker 1: Let a child into the bathroom with a fish bowl
Speaker 1: and let her fill up the tub and didn't notice
Speaker 1: until after it was already full, and she could have drowned.
Speaker 2: Right, they're lucky. It's only the fish that died. Only, right,
Speaker 2: they're lucky fish. Oh wow, So Michelle, she tells them
Speaker 2: she doesn't want a fish. She begins to walk away,
Speaker 2: so Jesse tries to bargain with her, telling her Freddie
Speaker 2: will be the family fish and he'll stay right here
Speaker 2: in the kitchen. Michelle can just be his buddy. She
Speaker 2: warily responds, Okay, but I'm not getting too close. This
Speaker 2: is like when Stephanie cut Jesse's hair.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, didn't we have this whole right?
Speaker 1: We had a moment like this before where it was like,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get close and really personally.
Speaker 2: So yeah, So Stephanie has already dealt with this kind
Speaker 2: of trauma in which Jesse didn't help because Jesse was
Speaker 2: really angry at YouTube.
Speaker 1: Well, but Jesse broke his Yeah, there was legitimately like
Speaker 1: a thing.
Speaker 3: Steph felt bad.
Speaker 2: That's true. The stays were higher than just a dead
Speaker 2: pigs were a little higher. Okay, okay, so.
Speaker 1: Not to say the fish isn't important. Don't fish, we
Speaker 1: don't need peta. No, I'm just saying love.
Speaker 2: All fish, yes, but all yes, we love all fish,
Speaker 2: all the fish. So she starts to walk away again.
Speaker 2: At this time Danny stops her. He tells her there's
Speaker 2: nothing to worry about because Freddy is going to live
Speaker 2: for a long time. Michelle suggests that he stay out
Speaker 2: of the bathtub then, and she walks away. Jesse tells
Speaker 2: Danny it's crazy talk to say the fish will live
Speaker 2: a long time. They die if you'll look at them. Funny.
Speaker 2: I agree for once. I agree with Jesse, like this
Speaker 2: this whole episode so far, you swear dancing the fish.
Speaker 2: The response like the fish. Yeah, he's really spot on this.
Speaker 2: He's on it this time. He's like, this is too much,
Speaker 2: you guys, I can't do all this. But Danny and
Speaker 2: Joey have a copboard. Joey opens a nearby cupboard and
Speaker 2: reveals shelves of baita fish in tiny plastic bowls as backups.
Speaker 2: These guys, but you should always keep fish in a
Speaker 2: cabinet and that won't smell.
Speaker 1: It was lit grate though. That's the one thing I
Speaker 1: didn't know they opened it up. I was like, oh good,
Speaker 1: they've installed lighting so.
Speaker 2: That you could see the vision should notice the lighting.
Speaker 2: I'm going to keep track of how many times we
Speaker 2: actually see the inside of this cabinet, because we've seen it.
Speaker 1: It's like once before, there was once.
Speaker 2: Where you popped out of it with the like the
Speaker 2: you were doing something to Rusty with the silly stringy whatever,
Speaker 2: the silly string. And then there's this I can't recall
Speaker 2: any other time.
Speaker 1: There was some I feel like there was another thing
Speaker 1: maybe in the cabinet.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm going to try to keep track.
Speaker 2: Uh So, now we're in the girls room. Stephanie is
Speaker 2: quizzing DJ on carfax from Jesse's Magazines. The next question
Speaker 2: is how many cylinders are in a classic nineteen sixty
Speaker 2: six Ford mustang. DJ is obviously uncertain as she guesses
Speaker 2: two hundred. Stephanie gives her a harsh buzzer noise in
Speaker 2: response and reveals wrong again. The correct answer is eight.
Speaker 2: How many questions have you answered wrong so far? And
Speaker 2: DJ confidently says all of them. Steph responds, ding ding ding,
Speaker 2: You finally got one right. Steff's rubbing it in.
Speaker 1: You know, right, She's like, yeah, ding ding ding, Yay,
Speaker 1: you finally got one loser.
Speaker 2: She's not wrong, Stephanie is not wrong, you know. Uh So,
Speaker 2: Becky walks in and asks if they're ready for the
Speaker 2: big family Square dance lesson DJ can't wait. DJ tells
Speaker 2: her she can't right now because she's still cramming for
Speaker 2: her phone call with Bobby. She has no idea why
Speaker 2: she lied about knowing so much about cars, but stephan
Speaker 2: knows exactly why, telling her sister because you're boy crazy
Speaker 2: and you'll anything to impress them. And then she probably
Speaker 2: walked away after giving detailed reality check. It was the
Speaker 2: best exit line.
Speaker 1: I was like, damn stuff, dropped some truth bombs and
Speaker 1: was like, I'm out.
Speaker 2: She's brutal this episode, just brutal and I am delivery.
Speaker 2: She's not. She's totally right and just the way you
Speaker 2: deliver that line and walk out like you're so good
Speaker 2: at these exit lines.
Speaker 1: She's like, dropping some truth, it's because you suck by
Speaker 1: see later.
Speaker 2: It's classic little sister. I love it. So Becky jumps
Speaker 2: in to give DJ some advice, telling her she doesn't
Speaker 2: need to pretend to be a car expert.
Speaker 3: Seriously, don't do this.
Speaker 2: DJ admits, I know, but he's so cute. Becky points
Speaker 2: out that if a boy doesn't like her for who
Speaker 2: she is, then he's not worth liking, and on cue
Speaker 2: snap for you, Thank God for Becky. Right but right
Speaker 2: then the phone rings. DJ frantically asks Becky what she
Speaker 2: should say, and Becky advises her to tell the truth.
Speaker 2: Bobby will respect her for her honesty. So DJ answers
Speaker 2: and says hi to Bobby before truthfully telling him I
Speaker 2: think cars are boring and they cause pollution, but I
Speaker 2: know that won't matter to you because hello, Hello. She
Speaker 2: looks at Becky in size he hung up. Becky winces
Speaker 2: at the news and says, oops, DJ, I'm sorry. DJ
Speaker 2: insists it's okay. Any guy who hangs up on her
Speaker 2: is probably not her type. It's true.
Speaker 3: I feel like this kid went on.
Speaker 1: Uh to like becomes some sort of reality TV start,
Speaker 1: like looking for a relationship.
Speaker 3: That's what Bobby became.
Speaker 2: He has to find. Well, his criteria is the must
Speaker 2: he wound up. He wound up on f Boy Island
Speaker 2: is what he wound up on.
Speaker 1: Because yeah, he just expects the girls around him to
Speaker 1: be like you have to like what I'm into yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and so yeah. He went on to win season twenty
Speaker 1: seven of Foy Island. Actually, so uh yeah, check it out.
Speaker 2: I don't like it Jesse in training, you know, like
Speaker 2: I can see shades of Jesse in this kid, Like,
Speaker 2: oh you don't like what I like? Peace out? You
Speaker 2: know it's right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's probably a good thing that they didn't work out,
Speaker 1: because he would have just Jesse would have given.
Speaker 3: Him all the roles.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that would not have been a good combination.
Speaker 3: But seriously, screw him.
Speaker 2: Yes, hang up on. DJ deserves better than this.
Speaker 1: Audios to that kid, Bye bye, bye bye, have fun
Speaker 1: with your Manifold.
Speaker 2: So next door in the kitchen, Michelle is watching Freddy
Speaker 2: from a safe distance on the staircase. She waves to
Speaker 2: him and then bravely makes her way closer to the tank.
Speaker 2: She assures the fish, don't be afraid. I'm just gonna
Speaker 2: get a cookie. You called it the sugar binge.
Speaker 1: She's like, hold on, I've got to go eat some feelings.
Speaker 2: She grabs a cookie.
Speaker 1: But but my first thought was, oh god, what is
Speaker 1: she going to give this fish a cook? She likes
Speaker 1: to feed the fish, so yeah, she like number two
Speaker 1: but there's a cabinet fall, so that's right, there's plenty
Speaker 1: of backups.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so she tells the fish, I'm not going to
Speaker 2: give you a bath, and she watches the fish sadly
Speaker 2: while eating her sugar fix for the day or hour. Well,
Speaker 2: this was a weirdly short scene, and then we're out.
Speaker 2: We're in the living room next, like.
Speaker 1: What, Well, we spent so much time on that, so
Speaker 1: we can't really go to the important stuff like Michelle
Speaker 1: and her fish, you know, because we had to sing
Speaker 1: do what Idy?
Speaker 2: And I wanted this sing to be long, right, told Vital, Okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't have time for Michelle getting sad about
Speaker 1: a fish. No, we've but we've got seventeen and a
Speaker 1: half minutes.
Speaker 3: For do what it is?
Speaker 2: Man, the priority. I didn't recognize these writers' names, and
Speaker 2: so I'm like, yeah, they were these guest writers this week.
Speaker 2: They don't they don't know, but I'm like, this is
Speaker 2: this episode will.
Speaker 3: They've obviously never had a fish or dragged a.
Speaker 2: Drum kit downstairs, so never they were not qualified to
Speaker 2: write for the Tamis. So next to the living room,
Speaker 2: the furniture has been pushed off the rug. Becky has
Speaker 2: assembled the entire family into formation for their square dancing lessons.
Speaker 2: Becky tells them they start in a square, but DJ
Speaker 2: butts in, I hate to get technical, but we formed
Speaker 2: a triangle. Becky tells her they'll be much more square
Speaker 2: once her parents are there, and Jesse says under his breath,
Speaker 2: you ain't kidding. Becky turns around and gives him a
Speaker 2: fake smile. What And Jesse stutters, Oh, I said, I'll
Speaker 2: do your bidding, and she smiles and tells him that's
Speaker 2: all I ask. Becky turns on the square dancing music
Speaker 2: and walks everyone through the steps. Unsurprisingly, the whole family
Speaker 2: has the choreography nailed down immediately.
Speaker 1: I mean, one of our pastimes is family square dancing competitions,
Speaker 1: so we've done this for years.
Speaker 2: You know, that's actually kind of on brand.
Speaker 1: Obviously we don't include Jesse, but yeah, but but Danny
Speaker 1: and the girls have been square dancing for a very
Speaker 1: long time.
Speaker 2: That would not surprise me in this household, with this family,
Speaker 2: Oh for sure, it's very on brand. They love their
Speaker 2: choreograph to dancing, do we, ever, So Becky's talks him
Speaker 2: through the moves and then lets Danny take over the
Speaker 2: lyrical portion which he turns into a cleaning lesson.
Speaker 1: I wonder what Bob was actually thinking, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like like he had the script scripted lines
Speaker 1: for the stupid cleaning thing that he's supposed to be
Speaker 1: singing to the to.
Speaker 2: The square dancing tune.
Speaker 1: But I wonder what he was actually making, what song
Speaker 1: he was making up in his ow, because it wasn't
Speaker 1: anything about cleaning. It wasn't clean, it was I can
Speaker 1: only imagine, yes, right, because I'm watching because whenever there's
Speaker 1: a scene where like the whole family has to do
Speaker 1: something dumb, I'm watching the faces of the guys interact
Speaker 1: with each other and and be laughing about something, And
Speaker 1: like there are definitely times when like Bob will be
Speaker 1: really laughing at something and you're like, oh, him and
Speaker 1: Dave must have been doing something so inappropriate and stupid.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well they have. Like it's almost like a
Speaker 2: silent conversation, you know that they're speaking to each other
Speaker 2: with just their eyes, yeah, about whatever dirty joke is whatever.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, You're like, oh, there's no way they made
Speaker 1: it through this without saying something stupid.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's so great to watch, so Jesse takes over
Speaker 2: then and announces his departure. He walks away from the dancing,
Speaker 2: but Danny prevents him from leaving. He forces him back
Speaker 2: onto the dance floor and tells Joey to take it away.
Speaker 2: Joey decides to turn the square dancing into Hokey pokey,
Speaker 2: and he doesn't stop there. He tells them to do
Speaker 2: the monkey, the mashed potato, and then the alligator. What
Speaker 2: was it like filming this scene doing these moves? And
Speaker 2: did you have a choreographer? Did you just kind of
Speaker 2: make it like I don't remember, I mean no, we
Speaker 2: just sort of it.
Speaker 1: No. They just named like several dances from the you know,
Speaker 1: early sixties, and uh, and then we just we just
Speaker 1: went for it.
Speaker 2: I don't know how you guys got through this without
Speaker 2: cracking up or did you.
Speaker 1: See the guy's faces that they didn't They were being ridiculous.
Speaker 3: It was the alligator.
Speaker 1: I feel like that really killed Bob, Like you hear
Speaker 1: him laughing and he was on the phone.
Speaker 2: What were you possibly doing? Yeah, absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 1: You know what I'll tell you though, I would give
Speaker 1: anything to be able to do that stupid alligator right now,
Speaker 1: if I could just lay down on the phone.
Speaker 3: You no, just down there, never got back.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So after doing all these silly dance moves, Jesse
Speaker 2: gets up off the floor. He is smiling ear to ear.
Speaker 2: Becky is laughing along with him and teases, what is
Speaker 2: that on your face? That's a smile. Jesse gets embarrassed
Speaker 2: and pretends like he wasn't having a good time, but
Speaker 2: Becky pokes at him until he admits the truth. He
Speaker 2: had a great time and he knows it'll be really
Speaker 2: fun at their wedding.
Speaker 1: He's lying, He's lying, that's okay to Becky to make
Speaker 1: her feel bad about it.
Speaker 2: Goes as long as he does it with a smile
Speaker 2: on his face, that's all she asks. Becky raps for
Speaker 2: arms around him and grins. I can't wait until next
Speaker 2: week when we're finally husband and wife. Jesse puckers his
Speaker 2: lips and says, have mercy and they kiss in front
Speaker 2: of everyone. Of course, then Michelle comes running into the room.
Speaker 2: That's right, Michelle wasn't.
Speaker 3: In the scene.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Michelle wasn't. We're like the family squaredenans
Speaker 1: screw that kid, Well, she wouldn't thrown it off anyway.
Speaker 3: Becau, who's gonna be her partner.
Speaker 2: You've already left her alone once.
Speaker 1: Alone, They're like, she should have killed that other fish.
Speaker 1: Don't worry about It's fine, just leave her in the
Speaker 1: other room. We got backup, so it's fine.
Speaker 2: Could happen? This is insane. So Michelle runs in and
Speaker 2: and she's yelling something's happening to the fishy. Danny asks
Speaker 2: what's going on, and Michelle tells him, I don't know,
Speaker 2: but it's not my fault. Everyone gets up and Michelle
Speaker 2: tells them to move it, misters. When they reached the tank,
Speaker 2: Stephanie's face sours. You little teeny tiny thingies are swimming
Speaker 2: in there. Sea monkeys? Oh yeah. Joey explains that those
Speaker 2: are babyfish, and DJ admits they're really cute. Jesse comments, oh,
Speaker 2: looks like Freddy is a freda. Huh. Danny tells his
Speaker 2: daughter it's a good thing she was here to witness this,
Speaker 2: and she did the right thing by telling them. Michelle's
Speaker 2: eyes brighten. I did, and Joey tells her you did.
Speaker 2: And now we can take the mommy fish out and
Speaker 2: put her in a special nursery tank so the babies
Speaker 2: can grow up strong and healthy and so she doesn't
Speaker 2: eat them. That's actually why you put.
Speaker 1: Them in a nursery, right, Like, we're gonna put her
Speaker 1: in a special nursery tank because she's happy there and
Speaker 1: she won't.
Speaker 2: This is just so boy the lifeless.
Speaker 1: So do you remember having guppies in our classroom?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we we had guppies that had a b and
Speaker 1: it was pregnant and it had a baby and we
Speaker 1: did have to put it. And that's how I learned
Speaker 1: about the little nursery tank because Adrian was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: they will eat there.
Speaker 3: They're young.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, we had We had this in the classroom.
Speaker 2: This was a life lessons on stage.
Speaker 3: Puts a whole new spin on Nemo, you.
Speaker 2: Know what I mean. Yeah? Yeah, well wait, so Michelle's ecstatic.
Speaker 2: She said I did a good job. Joey grabs a
Speaker 2: tiny net and scoops freeda up, placing her in a
Speaker 2: little plastic bowl. Michelle sweetly asks Danny, can I keep
Speaker 2: the babies in my room? Danny says yes, because she
Speaker 2: really came through for them. Becky calls Michelle a hero
Speaker 2: and they all applaud for her. She throws up two
Speaker 2: peace signs. Thank you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was like, oh, this is this.
Speaker 1: This was one of those scenes where I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: we've we've jumped the shark with Michelle.
Speaker 2: We've jumped we jumped the fish.
Speaker 3: Yes, we've jumped the fish.
Speaker 2: Yes we am all for.
Speaker 1: Building up a kid's confidence, but this is overkill, Like,
Speaker 1: come on, people has left her alone for most of
Speaker 1: the episode in else and you're praising her again. Good John, Michelle,
Speaker 1: you didn't do any You didn't like the house on
Speaker 1: fire when we weren't paying attentions.
Speaker 2: This is this is this, This is so full house, like.
Speaker 1: This is such a pose giving Michelle princess for a day.
Speaker 2: Oh yes it is. This is how it starts. It
