Speaker 2: of state. So they flew in and we hit La.
Speaker 2: They were at the Forum on Friday night and then
Speaker 2: we drove. We did a road trip in the Hyundai,
Speaker 2: which was fantastic.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: We drove to Palm Desert and saw the concert out there,
Speaker 2: which was indoors, thank.
Speaker 1: God, Oh my god, and got heat stroke but it was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it was indooration. It was indoors. Thanks.
Speaker 1: It wasn't Madonna because she doesn't turn the AC on.
Speaker 1: Oh what, yeah, because of her, because it hurts her
Speaker 1: voice apparently, and it does a lot of singers like their,
Speaker 1: like their, like Arena's warmer, because the AC does not
Speaker 1: do things for you that wouldn't be me.
Speaker 2: I'd be like crank, I'd like crank.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're of an age that no AC is not
Speaker 1: an option.
Speaker 2: Well, she's an age too, or I think I.
Speaker 1: Think that that, you know what I mean, she's pasted
Speaker 1: the change.
Speaker 2: And so we went from Palm Desert to Chula Vista.
Speaker 2: Like I legit drove like four hundred miles.
Speaker 1: Aw, you drove all over southern California.
Speaker 2: Which is south of San Diego. For those of you
Speaker 2: who don't know, it's like you can see Tijuana from
Speaker 2: Chula Vista. And the Chula Vista concert was outside at
Speaker 2: an amphitheater, which I'm a little nervous about. But it
Speaker 2: was beautiful, like it's San Diego, Like it's just they've
Speaker 2: got the breeze.
Speaker 1: Little. I was gonna say, you're a little closer to
Speaker 1: the ocean. Yes, you're not a palm palm desert, which
Speaker 1: is not anywhere near the ocean and is actually close
Speaker 1: to Satan's butthole. As far as I understand, as far
Speaker 1: as the accurate of the earth, yeah, it is.
Speaker 2: Very aggy hot, but no, San Diego is beautiful that
Speaker 2: it was such a good show. So Jeff Franklin Jeff
Speaker 2: Frankly went to the to the show in La with Emily,
Speaker 2: his fiance. Oh, so I found them and I said

Speaker 2: I didn't get to go easy.
Speaker 1: No, I was gonna go, but like family stuff just
Speaker 1: kind of went crazy. So I was like a wet work.

Speaker 2: took fourth of July off that whole week.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we took fourth of July off. You know,
Speaker 1: I have been. I've been good. I've been crazed. Uh,
Speaker 1: family has been nutty, life has been in session.
Speaker 2: We just saw an article. Did you see that David
Speaker 2: Ducovney article that just came out? Like it just came out? Boy?
Speaker 1: Did I? Okay?
Speaker 2: Tell me your thoughts.
Speaker 1: I loved David Dukeveny. I was obsessed with X files,
Speaker 1: like that was my my dad and I used to
Speaker 1: watch X files. But like I loved.
Speaker 2: Really, I didn't notice about you.
Speaker 1: Yes, I never knew any of this story that David
Speaker 1: Duchovney had auditioned for anything having to do with Full House.
Speaker 1: And I cannot imagine this. I mean, oh my god,
Speaker 1: the weird fan fit crossover that I have with like
Speaker 1: Mulder becoming one of like uncle Jesse's friends. It's just
Speaker 1: it's very strange. But uh, I was thrilled. I read
Speaker 1: the whole article. It was amazing. David du Coveney.
Speaker 2: I think he auditioned for all three roles Jesse, Danny,
Speaker 2: and Joe. I had heard somewhere along the line that
Speaker 2: he auditioned for one role. I didn't know you auditioned
Speaker 2: for all three lead roles.
Speaker 1: I didn't know either. I didn't And he was like
Speaker 1: I am not a sitcom actor like I'm and it's true,
Speaker 1: like there are there's some people have that have the switch,
Speaker 1: but he is so talented. Oh my god, would have that?
Speaker 1: Like it was so cool to know, like, oh wow,
Speaker 1: what could have been? I don't know. I always have
Speaker 1: that weird thing, even now as an adult with as
Speaker 1: long as this show has been on, where I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, like they know our show.
Speaker 2: It's seven years and we're.
Speaker 1: Like what, Oh my gosh, they know who we are. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like that was really I was like, oh my god, wait,
Speaker 1: David Duke Coveney knows what full House is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I know, we're fangirling just as much as
Speaker 2: anyone else would.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but anyway, as an X Files fan, it was
Speaker 1: it was really awesome And and yeah, and I think
Speaker 1: when we do Fuller House that he should come back somehow.
Speaker 1: I think we write, we write.
Speaker 2: David, write him David if you're listening, because I'm sure
Speaker 2: he is, David, if you're listening, please comes well.
Speaker 1: I mean, he now he knows who we are, so
Speaker 1: obviously he has been following our careers and is listening
Speaker 1: to this podcast with with just Love and admiration. I
Speaker 1: mean he's recommending it to friends.
Speaker 2: Sure.
Speaker 1: See, he's actually one of our one of our our
Speaker 1: number one active people on our social media. It's incredible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, David, Kenny and Amy are are number one face.
Speaker 1: I'm true, none of the this is true. I'm really sorry.
Speaker 1: It was all a lie before I get sued by
Speaker 1: David Duchomany, thus ending any chance of him being in Fuller.
Speaker 2: Right now, David to company's filing restraining orders against us, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like cease and desist.
Speaker 2: Oh man, oh man. Well, you know it wouldn't have
Speaker 2: been the same full House though with if he had
Speaker 2: gotten one of the roles, if he had been Danny,
Speaker 2: it wouldn't have been the same show.
Speaker 1: So you know, no, no, no, it all worked. I
Speaker 1: definitely I don't think he I don't think he would
Speaker 1: have fit the show at all, no offense.
Speaker 2: He admitted that himself, but.
Speaker 1: He admitted that I just don't there was there was
Speaker 1: not a world where I would see him fitting into it.
Speaker 1: And so yeah, it's it's more the absurdity of it,
Speaker 1: sort of of like the two shows meeting, like if
Speaker 1: X Files met Full House. Really, I think Mulder and
Speaker 1: Scully show up to the Tanner household to investigate this
Speaker 1: strange shape shifting backyard because it's got to be some
Speaker 1: sort of a poor Yes, there is some sort of
Speaker 1: alien life here. So that's the thing. Yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: it is. They show up and hilarity ensues as we
Speaker 1: look for aliens. So through the backyards. There's my show.
Speaker 2: I let's right, this show, right, I'll write it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, direct it, and come to find out the Gibblers
Speaker 1: are actually possibly aliens that that wouldn't suppress the whole
Speaker 1: men in black. It's like a whole men in black
Speaker 1: sm right, that would make sense why they're so weird
Speaker 1: because they're like they're imitating what they think humans do,
Speaker 1: but it's just a little bit left of center, Like
Speaker 1: it's just a little bit not quite what normal humans
Speaker 1: would do.
Speaker 2: This fits. This is the crossover that I didn't know
Speaker 2: we needed, Like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is It explains every crossover I didn't know
Speaker 1: I needed until halfway through describing it. I don't even
Speaker 1: know that's where.
Speaker 2: That's where the best ideas come from, just like randomly.
Speaker 1: Out of your brain flowing like let's just see.
Speaker 2: Where the stream of consciousness thoughts. Yeah, then look at
Speaker 2: this brilliant, brilliant let's let's write it. Let's write it,
Speaker 2: let's pitch it file X Files House.
Speaker 1: Oh it's just a whole house of weird paranormal Files house. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: all of the all of the they all live what's
Speaker 1: his name, the guy, the smoking guy and the one
Speaker 1: that smokes with the hole in his throat and all,
Speaker 1: like all the weird people from that show. They all
Speaker 1: live in one house. That's what it is.
Speaker 2: This is also a cautionary tale for sure, right right?
Speaker 1: Oh? I love it? Oh boy, should we should we
Speaker 1: get into our show instead of the one that I'm
Speaker 1: creating and inventing that that people are terribly getting.
Speaker 2: We'll recap that show in you know.
Speaker 1: Twenty years our next podcast, right right, that'll be our
Speaker 1: next podcast, X Files House, right, look for look for
Speaker 1: it on Hulu, guys. Just let you know. Also, if
Speaker 1: anyone steals this idea, I will come invite.
Speaker 2: You all of us in the entire full house cap
Speaker 2: date it is it is recorded.
Speaker 1: Don't stand the idea, don't do it, or just give
Speaker 1: me credit at least, like, just let me.
Speaker 2: Get a creator. You get created by Jody Sweetens.
Speaker 1: That's all I want created by.
Speaker 2: Everybody deserves credit. Yep. Anyways, let me I'll officially start
Speaker 2: the show. Let's get let me get into it.
Speaker 1: Let's not don't clap again, because I don't think we
Speaker 1: could do that twice in a day.

Speaker 1: It only happens once every eighteen months, right, it was
Speaker 1: once in our lifetime.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, welcome back to How Rude tan Ritos. I'm

Speaker 1: there's something mess in. There's at least like a dollar
Speaker 1: eighty five that you have got.
Speaker 2: They definitely owe me at least a dollar eighty five.

Speaker 2: VHS tape over to the TV. DJ Stephan Kimmey all
Speaker 2: PLoP themselves on the couch.
Speaker 1: Wow, what a time the VCRs. Just everyone watching a VHS.
Speaker 1: Yeah for a surprise.
Speaker 2: You know, I just I missed these days. I miss
Speaker 2: these days. I do.
Speaker 1: I do so.
Speaker 2: Jesse and Joey run in, literally running in place. This
Speaker 2: better be important. We're working on a commercial for rocket
Speaker 2: Feet running shoes. We're trying to get inspired by running around.
Speaker 2: Danny excitedly says he found one of his old videotapes.
Speaker 2: Jesse and Joey look at each other and then say
Speaker 2: bye in unison before running backwards. Danny says, I come back.
Speaker 2: It's not a whole movie. It's a tape of Joey
Speaker 2: and me on my old college talk show. Oh yes,
Speaker 2: the guys are now intrigued and they want to they
Speaker 2: want to watch this now. The videotape starts by showing
Speaker 2: a young Danny Tanner dancing to disco music and sporting
Speaker 2: big shaggy hair, a mustache, and a green plaid coat.
Speaker 2: Bob Bob boy.
Speaker 1: It was a sight to behold.
Speaker 2: I wonder if, like, if Bob and Dave loved this
Speaker 2: or hated it. I feel like they had so much
Speaker 2: fun with it, you know, it was so bad.
Speaker 1: I feel like, I don't know. I feel like Bob
Speaker 1: probably loved it. I don't know if Dave loved it,
Speaker 1: because he was kind of the butt of the joke
Speaker 1: and he wasn't anyway.
Speaker 2: We'll get it, we'll get there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but they probably did. I mean, it was
Speaker 1: It's like you and I am doing a stupid Yeah.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine I showed up in a mustache and
Speaker 1: a green clad coat. You would lose it? Yeah, and
Speaker 1: you rode in on a skateboard with a mullet. I'm well,
Speaker 1: you know what, I think you may have actually, I
Speaker 1: think you actually may.
Speaker 2: Have argued, was so Bubba the turtle?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, it was you had the mullet, but
Speaker 1: the turtle was on the skateboard. That's right.
Speaker 2: Never mind, Okay, now we've straightened this out. Good, got it,
Speaker 2: Danny tells tells the camera, Hey, this is Danny Tanner
Speaker 2: reminding you that Disco will never die. Kimmy butts in,
Speaker 2: mister Tanner, don't take this the wrong way, but what
Speaker 2: a geek.
Speaker 1: Like.
Speaker 2: At least that was a nicer delivery. Usually she's sassier
Speaker 2: and a little more sarcastic.
Speaker 1: But that's true.
Speaker 2: You weren't at least like me, So Danny, You're yeah,
Speaker 2: this was That's probably the last time I was nice
Speaker 2: to Danny Tanner. So Disco Danny welcomes viewers to his
Speaker 2: show Campus Rap, where he'll be taking a hard hit
Speaker 2: and look at whatever he wants because it's his show.
Speaker 2: He goes on to show a baby picture of DJ.
Speaker 2: Here's a hard hitting look at a brand new picture
Speaker 2: of my very own little girl, which is a real
Speaker 2: photo of Candice. Of course, yes, so cute, but Steph
Speaker 2: is so cute.
Speaker 1: And it also gives us a timeline that Danny was
Speaker 1: again in college when he had a JA and she
Speaker 1: was looked to be a couple years old three maybe
Speaker 1: in that picture. So yeah, so I remember we decided
Speaker 1: they're right out of high school into college. So yeah,
Speaker 1: So this track is just anyway putting the peace.
Speaker 2: I appreciate continuity because our show is not known for
Speaker 2: good continuity, So I appreciate what is gonna say.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, well, then I'm sorry for them.
Speaker 2: I appreciate it when I get it because it's rare.
Speaker 1: I are right.
Speaker 2: So Stephanie sees this picture and she exclaims I was adorable,
Speaker 2: and DJ chimes in telling her, Hey, that was actually me.
Speaker 2: Steph is shocked. It is my how you've aged, like
Speaker 2: you're so serious about.
Speaker 1: Like you're just so it's quite concerned.
Speaker 2: Steph is stuck inside a forty year old woman's body
Speaker 2: like she is just She really is, a matter of fact,
Speaker 2: it really is.
Speaker 1: Steph is all of the Golden Girls in one she is. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So young Danny introduces his guest for the episode. It's
Speaker 2: his very best friend, his fraternity brother, and a party animal,
Speaker 2: Joey Gladstone. Young Joey rolls on a skateboard, exclaiming four
Speaker 2: years of college, look what I learned. And Jesse in
Speaker 2: the living room was pointing at the screen and laughing
Speaker 2: hysterically in Joey's face, And then, yeah, I didn't write
Speaker 2: it down because I didn't love these fat jokes that
Speaker 2: I was like the big man on campus.
Speaker 1: Like what, Yeah, I didn't know. I didn't notice at
Speaker 1: all I saw was like a poorly fitting sweater. It
Speaker 1: was just I was like he's not Yeavy. It's just
Speaker 1: a bad fit. He just needs a tailor exactly, you know,
Speaker 1: let's not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, these these these fat jokes and what I
Speaker 2: didn't like it.
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't like it. I was like, no,
Speaker 1: that's not okay. Didn't age well. And really there was
Speaker 1: enough material there with the hair.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh there was a lot of material.
Speaker 1: Quite truly, there was a lot of enough material there
Speaker 1: with the hair.
Speaker 2: It was the hair so much yet you could have
Speaker 2: just it was more than a mullet. It was. It
Speaker 2: was just a shack.
Speaker 1: Or the fact that he didn't seem to be doing
Speaker 1: a great job at riding the skateboard after four years.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't get an a in that, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: So on the tape, Danny tells Joey to do his
Speaker 2: Jetson's routine from his act, and Joey does impressions of
Speaker 2: multiple different characters from the Jetsons and then ends his
Speaker 2: act by saying, oh, come on, now, cut it out,
Speaker 2: thank you. Joey watches this younger version of himself with
Speaker 2: a smile. On the tape, young Joey states, I guarantee
Speaker 2: you that in ten years, you'll be seeing this face
Speaker 2: sitting between Ed McMahon and Johnny Carson and then he
Speaker 2: kind of flipped.
Speaker 1: Now, for those that don't know, Johnny Carson hosted The
Speaker 1: Tonight Show forever and Ed McMahon was his sight. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they always sat next.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sad to say that there are probably a
Speaker 3: lot of people who don't know why Ed McMahon is relevant, Yeah,
Speaker 3: other than Star Search, and probably have never even heard
Speaker 3: of Star Search.
Speaker 1: So hey, it just always like to give a little background. No,
Speaker 1: this is an educational past, kind of a big deal.
Speaker 1: They were kind of a big deal, and they were
Speaker 1: a huge deal in comedy.
Speaker 2: Specifically huge deal in the eighties. Absolutely, like I'm sorry
Speaker 2: to all of.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon from the sixties, oh,
Speaker 1: from the I mean they or maybe I can't remember
Speaker 1: how long he hosted The Tonight Forever. Yeah, and yeah,
Speaker 1: so this was Ed's like second Oh yes, it didn't
Speaker 1: start with star Search, for sure, this was it didn't
Speaker 1: start with star Search. So anyway, just trying to let
Speaker 1: people know why this would be such an important thing
Speaker 1: for a comedian because this was like the epitome of
Speaker 1: like comic success.
Speaker 2: Yep, no, this was it. It was a big deal,
Speaker 2: Like it's a big deal that we got on this show.
Speaker 2: I'm still I'm still stunned by that. Joey quickly stands
Speaker 2: and runs over to check the date on the tape.
Speaker 2: He looks at it and says, I can't believe my
Speaker 2: tenured deadline is almost up. I've got two weeks to
Speaker 2: become a star. Joey asks Jesse to handle the running
Speaker 2: the running Shoe account without him, and Jesse's fine with
Speaker 2: that and encourages Joey to follow his dream. Danny adds
Speaker 2: that all of them are there for Joey, and the
Speaker 2: girls excitedly agree. Joey announces up from now on, Joey
Speaker 2: Gladstone's going to be all comedy all the time, and
Speaker 2: Jesse regretfully asks all the time. Joey responds with an
Speaker 2: impression of the three Stooges. Why certainly yeah yeah. He
Speaker 2: cheerfully exits the room.
Speaker 1: That was so that was so good.
Speaker 2: But Dave or me me, you thinks probably last night
Speaker 2: when I was doing my.
Speaker 1: Fuzing, I wish I could have seen that record that
Speaker 1: next time, okay, because that yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah that's the only one I can do. I
Speaker 2: can't do the Jetsons like I can't do anything else.
Speaker 1: Yeah, why no, I can't even do it.
Speaker 2: See, I haven't read you know.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go do that. That's what I'm gonna do tonight.
Speaker 1: I'll send you a video, you send me some.
Speaker 2: Well, rehearse. It'll be a rehearsal of this impression.
Speaker 1: And then we can be on startars.
Speaker 2: Yay full circle one. Next, in the kitchen, Michelle runs
Speaker 2: in wearing her new ballerine two two over her pajamas,
Speaker 2: and DJ and Stuff follow directly behind her. Danny asks
Speaker 2: Michelle what's wrong, and Michelle points at DJ and Steph,
Speaker 2: scolding them bad girls. The girls tell Michelle that they're
Speaker 2: supposed to get her ready for bed, which means it's
Speaker 2: time to take off the two two, and Michelle yells no.
Speaker 2: Danny defends Michelle. It's perfectly normal for children to be
Speaker 2: attached to a special something. He tells Michelle that if
Speaker 2: she wants to sleep in her two two, she can.
Speaker 2: Michelle wags her finger at her sister's saying I told
Speaker 2: you so, and I was.
Speaker 1: Like, oh this felt, But then also it was something
Speaker 1: that I went, I know I've done this. I know
Speaker 1: I've done this with my kid. Like you just sort
Speaker 1: of have those moments with the youngest one where you're like, no,
Speaker 1: that's it's fine, They're okay, it can do this.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm torn because I agree with Danny's sentiment
Speaker 2: that kids get attached to things and then we'll sleep
Speaker 2: with them, and that's fine. My problem is he's undermine
Speaker 2: He sent the girls to put out, and I undermined
Speaker 2: what they were trying to do. And I also know
Speaker 2: that we have several more seasons of Danny's permissive parenting
Speaker 2: of Michelle coming up.
Speaker 1: So yeah, well it's you know what, it's what happens
Speaker 1: with the baby, it's what happens with the youngest. I
Speaker 1: know I have definitely been roped into my youngest's shenanigans
Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, no, leave her alone. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then you're like, I was wrong.
Speaker 2: I get it. I'm I'm the youngest of three.
Speaker 1: So yes, Michelle, Yeah, you very really work that advantage. Yes,
Speaker 1: you're like, I could write a book.
Speaker 2: We're gonna have my brother on the show at some point,
Speaker 2: so he'll tell you.
Speaker 1: All the stories about I can not wait. Can't wait
Speaker 1: so fun. Oh, I'm going to start writing my questions.
Speaker 2: You should, you should start preparing. No, So, Joey runs
Speaker 2: by the window from outside and does his Yosemite Sam impression.
Speaker 2: Jesse looks at the family and gruffly states, comedy alert.
Speaker 2: Everyone in the kitchen groans.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if there was a grown man running
Speaker 1: around doing a Yosemite Sam impression in between your houses?
Speaker 1: In San Francisco? The houses are very close together, you
Speaker 1: would you someone would notice this and be really question.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the neighbors are gibblers, so like, that's probably
Speaker 2: behind the neighbors behind gigglers behind. Maybe he shaped shifted
Speaker 2: the backyard so we had plenty of space to run.
Speaker 1: Well, it's an invisibility cloak. It's what it is. Never mind,
Speaker 1: it's fine.
Speaker 2: That's what it was. So Joey enthusiastically enters the kitchen,
Speaker 2: and the girls frantically make excuses about why they have
Speaker 2: to leave. Joey says, stop, nobody move, and DJ whispers
Speaker 2: or no, Steph whispers to DJ, we were so close.
Speaker 2: Joey grabs a wooden spoon, using it as a fake microphone,
Speaker 2: and announces live from Las Vegas. The song stylings of
Speaker 2: Jimmy Vibrato. He begins to sing, and as he hits
Speaker 2: that last note, he pulled the fake microphone away from
Speaker 2: his body and then quickly brings it back, his voice
Speaker 2: dipping out and then coming back, which Dave like.
Speaker 1: Dave did like a singer would do with a microphone.
Speaker 2: Dave did this all the time, like off stage.
Speaker 1: It's entire all of these bits. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I've seen all these not in this scene, but totally
Speaker 1: throughout my knowing.
Speaker 2: Of through our through a thirty seven year history. He
Speaker 2: has done th seven years.
Speaker 1: I've seen I've seen peaking Duck. I've seen that, all
Speaker 1: of it, all of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so great.
Speaker 1: When he did the thing with the yeah, it's great.
Speaker 2: So he throws the fake mic at Danny, grabs two
Speaker 2: plastic cups. He starts a new act, holds the cups
Speaker 2: to his eyes, saying, I really got to get myself
Speaker 2: some new contacts. He continues with new acts, including peaking Duck.
Speaker 1: Peaking Duck, and the little eye he makes like a
Speaker 1: weird little alien thing with the He used to do
Speaker 1: that voice all the time. Yeah, yeah, the ali alien
Speaker 1: voice with the little I Yeah, this is he would
Speaker 1: put those things in his eyes and do all sorts
Speaker 1: of weird voices and you know, make Bob laugh and
Speaker 1: they'd be doing.
Speaker 2: Stupid Oh this is. This is like the greatest hits
Speaker 2: of Dave Cooler right here.
Speaker 1: And really the greatest hits of what he had figured
Speaker 1: out were jokes in that room, particularly jokes that were
Speaker 1: family friendly enough that he could do him in front
Speaker 1: of us. And so like this was he was like, ah,
Speaker 1: I got it. I know, I know how to work
Speaker 1: this room with props. Oh, it's a great props comedie
Speaker 1: is great props com unmatched.
Speaker 2: Like I just I loved this scene so much. It
Speaker 2: highlighted all of his talents and I was so proud
Speaker 2: of him. I was like, Dave, you just nailed this
Speaker 2: whole scene again.
Speaker 1: Another amazing physical comedy bit in the kitchen. It really
Speaker 1: lends itself to some good I mean it's a big
Speaker 1: set with lots to do in it. So I guess
Speaker 1: lots of props.
Speaker 2: You know, you can use the island. Yeah, there's there's
Speaker 2: lots of lots of comedy in the kitchen. Oh yes,
Speaker 2: So Jesse breaks it to Joey that he's been living
Speaker 2: in Toontown for two days now, and he needs to
Speaker 2: start acting like a human being. Joey responds as peebe herman.
Speaker 2: I know you are, but what am I? I didn't
Speaker 2: do that one as well. He continues to run around.
Speaker 1: You can practice tonight, I will.
Speaker 2: I'll send you my tape. He'll send you myself tape.
Speaker 2: He continues to run around the kitchen doing various impressions,
Speaker 2: and then he grabs the detachable faucet head and sings,
Speaker 2: I'm seeing and in the rain while water is pouring
Speaker 2: onto him.
Speaker 1: And John is laughing, but like genuinely laughing at Dave
Speaker 1: being in John.
Speaker 2: John is breaking.
Speaker 1: John is totally bra He's just like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: because it's also like it, you know, it's not as
Speaker 1: like the extent to which Dave could take it, but
Speaker 1: he he fully commits to the silliness of it. And
Speaker 1: it's just it's great.
Speaker 2: It's so great.
Speaker 1: I love watching them have fun because because it reminds
Speaker 1: me of like you and I doing a scene, or
Speaker 1: you and me and kan Is doing a scene, and
Speaker 1: like us having fun as adults on Fuller and like
Speaker 1: that thing that you see happening between people, and like
Speaker 1: I see it with them, and it's just fun to
Speaker 1: know that they were having just as much fun as
Speaker 1: we were when we didn't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're exactly right, Like, there's nothing better than doing
Speaker 2: a bit that you know is so funny. The audience
Speaker 2: is gonna love it. We're cracking ourselves up, we're trying
Speaker 2: not to crack up. We're looking at her foreheads. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's there's just no better feeling in the world than
Speaker 2: doing funny bits with you, Jody Sweeten, It's my all
Speaker 2: time favorite thing.
Speaker 1: Yes, thanks, Aby.
Speaker 2: So then Joey turns this faucet onto Jesse and so
Speaker 2: now Jesse's getting soaked, and he's very Now he's now
Speaker 2: he's not laughing, he's unamused. Joey turns to his niece
Speaker 2: and exclaims, Michelle, let me show you my Bob Hope impression,
Speaker 2: and Michelle yells no and runs away.
Speaker 1: So she knows who Bob Hope is, but it's unclear
Speaker 1: on Vallerina's I'm just setting the priorities in this.
Speaker 2: That's a very very good point. Yes, how does she
Speaker 2: know who Bob Hope is but not a Ballerina?
Speaker 1: Well, I think I guess it appears at this point,
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter who Bob Hope is. She just doesn't
Speaker 1: want him to do any Yeah.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's it. She's just like I'm taking, which is
Speaker 2: weird because.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe's not Bob Hope in particular.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she just doesn't want to hear the impressions. I
Speaker 2: don't know. She seems like his best audience. But okay,
Speaker 2: she doesn't like. She doesn't like this one, so she
Speaker 2: runs away and Dave or Joey runs after her. Jesse
Speaker 2: threatens if he doesn't cheer down, I'm gonna break his
Speaker 2: funny bone. Danny tells the group that he may have
Speaker 2: done something that can help Joey's career, but they have
Speaker 2: to keep it a secret. Everyone turns slowly to look
Speaker 2: at Stephanie, and she pouts, how rude. I can keep
Speaker 2: a secret. No she can't.
Speaker 3: Terrible, although she did, she did, she did, she did,
Speaker 3: But yep, you notoriously track record you.
Speaker 2: You did not have a good track record at this point,
Speaker 2: But you zipped your lips with like pretend to zip
Speaker 2: your lips with the key, So I think maybe that
Speaker 2: was what worked. Danny tells them that he sent a
Speaker 2: recent tape of Joey's act to the people at Star Search,
Speaker 2: and Stephanie exclaims, Joey's going on Star Search. Wait till
Speaker 2: I tell And then she stops herself and says, nobody, See,
Speaker 2: you've learned. I'm very proud, very proud of Stephanie. See
Speaker 2: she's learned.
Speaker 1: Proud of Stephanie. Why didn't Danny do this earlier in
Speaker 1: Joey's career, that's my question. Oh, he's been wanting to
Speaker 1: get on Star Search for ten years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Danny's been busy. He's you know, widowing and
Speaker 2: raising girls and I don't know what else. So next
Speaker 2: we are in the living room and Steph runs in
Speaker 2: from the front door and calls everyone except Joey into
Speaker 2: the room. She tells them that they got a letter
Speaker 2: with Ed McMahon's picture on it and carefully whispers that
Speaker 2: it must be from Star Search. DJ asks if it's
Speaker 2: good news, and Steph exclaims, it's great news. We may
Speaker 2: already be millionaires.
Speaker 1: Now here's another little back piece of information for those
Speaker 1: of you that don't know. Back in the eighties and
Speaker 1: early nineties, there's a thing called.
Speaker 2: The UH Clearings sweep steaks.
Speaker 1: Yep, I will tell you that right now. If anything
Speaker 1: is ever deemed sweepstakes. It is a bull stacks, is
Speaker 1: what it is. It is it's a way for you
Speaker 1: to send in money. And I'm sure someone somewhere one
Speaker 1: maybe I don't know, but it just it was always
Speaker 1: a little efficient. Always anyway there you would get these
Speaker 1: things in the mail that would say, like you might
Speaker 1: already be a millionaire, and you just had to keep
Speaker 1: sending stuff back in in order to keep the game going.
Speaker 1: And basically they just filtered it out to like, you know,
Speaker 1: a few people who were just dumb enough to keep
Speaker 1: sending a bunch of money in anyway, that's my opinion
Speaker 1: on it. But yeah, this was a very big deal
Speaker 1: and sort of the equivalent of like winning the lottery,
Speaker 1: except the lottery ticket got mailed to your house with
Speaker 1: a fake personalization.
Speaker 2: Yes, and a fake promise that you may already be
Speaker 2: a millionaire.
Speaker 3: Ye.
Speaker 1: I know it was right, right, I mean you might,
Speaker 1: but they don't know. They're sending it to everyone you
Speaker 1: might already be a millionaire. For what they know, they're
Speaker 1: sending it to a giant ten thousand square withows. You
Speaker 1: don't know that's true. They didn't sensify that, they didn't slassify, right,
Speaker 1: he didn't lie. You might already be a millionaire. We
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 2: Hey, you know what that those lawyers that that reviewed
Speaker 2: that sweepstakes very crafty, very crafty. Yes, So Joey walks
Speaker 2: into the living room and announces that he's going to
Speaker 2: make some French toast. Jesse asks if he's sick, because
Speaker 2: he isn't acting goofy, and Joey admits, who am I kidding?
Speaker 2: My tenurre deadline is up today. I'm not famous. I'm
Speaker 2: never going to be famous, and the only thing that
Speaker 2: could save my career now is a miracle. Qu Kimmy
Speaker 2: walking through the front door with some mail.
Speaker 1: Miracle appears. I mean you're uncredited, but you're a miraculous.
Speaker 2: Yes, I saved the day, Like this is the only point.
Speaker 2: He saves the day, the only point of my my existency.
Speaker 1: You were without Kimmy, there's no show. Yeah, without Kimmy,
Speaker 1: there's no This doesn't happen without Kimmy. Somebody, one of
Speaker 1: the Giblers is opening this and tossing it in the pit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and committing mail.
Speaker 2: From Okay, well, I wouldn't put it past them either.
Speaker 2: That's very gibbler ask, so she announces mail call letter
Speaker 2: for Danny Tanner. Danny takes it and Kimmy leaves her
Speaker 2: hand outstretched, asking what no tip. Danny gives her a tip,
Speaker 2: stay out of my mailbox. Danny opens the letter and exclaims, Yes,
Speaker 2: Joey's gonna be on Star Search. Joey runs over and
Speaker 2: grabs the letter enthusiastically. I'm gonna be on Star Search,
Speaker 2: and Kimmy adds as a spokesmodel. Joey continues, this is great.
Speaker 2: How did this happen? Danny admits that they had so
Speaker 2: much faith in him that they sent his tape to
Speaker 2: Star Search. Joey looks around and admires his family, telling
Speaker 2: them they are the best. He assures the group that
Speaker 2: he is gonna win Star Search, He's on his way
Speaker 2: to the top. Before leaving the room, he turns to
Speaker 2: his family and says, thank you people because and then
Speaker 2: he sings I Love and slides across the floor on
Speaker 2: his knees, joining the family as they all sing you
Speaker 2: I love that bit. I just I really love that bit.
Speaker 2: We cut to an exciting commercial break.
Speaker 1: This sorry, but I just have to go back to
Speaker 1: the fact that this is just the most sitcom. Of all,
Speaker 1: it's such I love how things happen get solved in
Speaker 1: a sitcom in twenty twenty is because you're like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, my tenure career, it sucks. Everything's going terribly.
Speaker 1: Oh no, you're like, wait, there's a letter, and it's
Speaker 1: all what I'm getting. I'm going on Star Search, a
Speaker 1: notoriously hard show that you have to like audition for
Speaker 1: go through all these rounds. But Danny pulled it off
Speaker 1: because Danny hosts Wake Up San Francisco and he's got
Speaker 1: strings that he can pull, although he wouldn't pull him
Speaker 1: until the last moment.
Speaker 2: Because otherwise there'd be The show has to work, otherwise
Speaker 2: I'd be the storyline. The storyline has to work, the
Speaker 2: joke has to work, like there's that is the purpose.
Speaker 1: Joke has to work. And most importantly, we're on Star Search. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's really all.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, Yes, backstage age at Star Search. This
Speaker 2: is very exciting. Although I think this was a set
Speaker 2: on Oh, this was definitely a set. This wasn't startars
Speaker 2: just coming next.
Speaker 1: You can tell by the way it's lit. Nothing in
Speaker 1: the real world is lit uh from above at all?
Speaker 2: Like that?
Speaker 1: Uh if it is it looks like a dressing thing
Speaker 1: and that's not cute on anyway. So yeah, you can
Speaker 1: tell us. It's always tell by the lighting, well on
Speaker 1: a sitcomic, on a sent exactly.
Speaker 2: So DJ and Steph run into the dressing room where
Speaker 2: the rest of the family's waiting, and they announced they
Speaker 2: just saw the tapping Takeyamas tap dancing in the hallway.
Speaker 1: What was Harry? There any relation to Harry?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 1: They do not think of another teeming.
Speaker 2: They should have, But maybe they just really wanted.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe that was maybe they wanted to throw it in.
Speaker 1: Maybe the tapping Takiyamas. Maybe it was a nod to
Speaker 1: Harry since we never saw him on the show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they and they, so they coud maybe it
Speaker 2: was like goodbye, yes, sayonara Takeyama. Yeah, they can tap
Speaker 2: dance their way off stage. So yeah, I guess that's it.
Speaker 2: So a stage manager walks in and tells Joey he
Speaker 2: has ten minutes. DJ tells Michelle to show the nice
Speaker 2: producer how good of a ballerina she is. Michelle begins
Speaker 2: to dance, and then Steph seizes this opportunity by running
Speaker 2: in front of her and singing Tomorrow by Annie or
Speaker 2: from from the show Annie This is you were so cute, Like,
Speaker 2: were you like into it or were you embarrassed or
Speaker 2: were I love?
Speaker 1: No, I loved singing. I love yeah, I mean any
Speaker 1: chance to be ethel merman like and do it? You
Speaker 1: know it was I was you loved it? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: loved I always loved music and all that kind.
Speaker 2: Of st Oh you did it so well too.
Speaker 1: It's a hysterical and I didn't you know, I wasn't
Speaker 1: horribly off key, so it wasn't no ear piercing. It
Speaker 1: was not you know, it was great for a seven
Speaker 1: year old.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, No, you were really good.
Speaker 1: I'm no, it was no you know, Sarah Jessica Parker.
Speaker 2: Well, I just didn't know at seven was that embarrassing
Speaker 2: or were you into it? But you were the type of.
Speaker 1: Kid that was very oh yeah at your theater. I
Speaker 1: didn't get embarrassed about things until middle.
Speaker 2: School, okay, which is usually the.
Speaker 1: Case that yeah, yeah, I didn't get I had no
Speaker 1: embarrassment or shame until I was about like eleven or twelve,
Speaker 1: and then I was like, oh my god, I'm late.
Speaker 2: And that's when you become self aware and very self right.
Speaker 2: So the producer gives a half hearted thank you and
Speaker 2: walks out the door as Stuff follows him, continuing this song.
Speaker 1: Because you should let your children follow strange people around
Speaker 1: backstage and sing it though it's without any idea of
Speaker 1: where they're going. That's really how you should like.
Speaker 2: Where is security? H Michelle rips off her too too,
Speaker 2: and says no more ballerina. Joey says why not, to
Speaker 2: which Michelle responds by copying Stuff and singing tomorrow while
Speaker 2: walking out the door. This is where it starts, How
Speaker 2: it starts. This is how it starts.
Speaker 1: First, to start with tomorrow. It started with the there's
Speaker 1: a couple other things that she's stolen, and now tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she's the best old I little sister, just
Speaker 1: always coming.
Speaker 2: For yes always DJ laughs, Oh little kids, I better
Speaker 2: go get them before they embarrass themselves, and then she
Speaker 2: copies both Michelle and Stuff by singing tomorrow as she
Speaker 2: exits the room. Now, I wonder if Candace might have
Speaker 2: been embarrassed about that.
Speaker 1: I would have been at thirteen. Yeah, she never loved
Speaker 1: singing totally sure.
Speaker 2: Danny and Jesse get up, telling Joey that they better
Speaker 2: get back to their seats. They wish him luck and
Speaker 2: tell him not to be nervous. Joey sarcastically asks, why
Speaker 2: would I be nervous just because the last ten years
Speaker 2: comes down to the next ten minutes, just because my
Speaker 2: entire life is writing on my one and only shot
Speaker 2: at stardom. Jesse shrugs, see nothing to be worried about,
Speaker 2: and he and Danny exit the room. Next we're on
Speaker 2: the Star Search stage. Oh my gosh, this is so
Speaker 2: like do you remember going to the studio?
Speaker 1: I don't remember it exactly. I do remember us getting
Speaker 1: a picture with Ed McMahon at the end. Oh do
Speaker 1: you remember like sitting and watching like Dave's portion of
Speaker 1: the show and doing that? But I seem to remember
Speaker 1: we were kind of like we sort of inserted ourselves
Speaker 1: into an episode of Star Search that was already going
Speaker 1: if I'm correct, or something like. It was like Dave
Speaker 1: had his bit and that, Like I don't know that
Speaker 1: we got Star Search to do a whole I'm not
Speaker 1: sure how it happened, but I do seem to remember.
Speaker 1: I think we sort of fit into their production schedule
Speaker 1: that bit for the live Dabu got it okay, because
Speaker 1: we need they needed an audience and you know all that.
Speaker 2: So it's kind of like the Baseball episode of Fuller House.
Speaker 1: Kind of like the Baseball episode, kind of like the
Speaker 1: like the Hawaii episode at the end when we joined
Speaker 1: the show and what it's sort of like that kind
Speaker 1: of thing when it's like you've got this is it,
Speaker 1: You've got your you've got your.
Speaker 2: Mind, the audience is already there. You just throw the I.
Speaker 1: Don't remember if like Dave got any he might have.
Speaker 1: I think probably at the end. Obviously he comes back
Speaker 1: and is on the stage by himself that I think.
Speaker 1: I'm sure we got pickups of his set during that, yeah,
Speaker 1: which is why you see a close up of him
Speaker 1: and not with the audience. Probably at some points during
Speaker 1: a set, but but I think he probably got one
Speaker 1: pass to go through it during the show. And then
Speaker 1: that was that was kind of it.
Speaker 2: That's pressure. That is pressure. He did. Yeah, so good.
Speaker 1: Oh it's funny.
Speaker 2: But first Steve Odakirk is on stage concluding his act.
Speaker 1: Which is funny, Like I was just about to say speaking,
Speaker 1: if not funny though that which is this?
Speaker 2: I don't think this was fun What was he was
Speaker 2: dancing and he had four fake arms, and I don't
Speaker 2: it was it's a physical comedy bit. It didn't. We
Speaker 2: didn't see the first part of his act, so I
Speaker 2: wonder if it was like a call down. I don't know. Well, yeah,
Speaker 2: it wasn't funny to me either, but I'm like wow.
Speaker 1: And maybe they were trying to make it slightly think like, oh,
Speaker 1: there's no way that Joey lose to this guy. And
Speaker 1: then okay, that's true.
Speaker 2: So the presenter Ed McMahon mentions that Steve is the
Speaker 2: champion and now we are going to see the challenger.
Speaker 1: That's right. It was like it was like Jeopardy, where
Speaker 1: like one person kept making it week after when they
Speaker 1: would continue, them come back week after week and they
Speaker 1: would continue.
Speaker 2: I forgot about that too until I watched the episode.
Speaker 2: Joey is introduced and welcome to the stage. Ed McMahon
Speaker 2: notes he's been doing comedy for ten years. WHOA, that's
Speaker 2: a long time. Please welcome Joey Gladstone. Everybody cheers. Joey
Speaker 2: comes out on stage and starts his set. So I
Speaker 2: played ice hockey for thirteen years and it's great to
Speaker 2: be alive. Thanks. I'm playing in a league in California,
Speaker 2: and there are surfers in this ice hockey league, and
Speaker 2: these guys are thinking, if this ice smelts cool, dude
Speaker 2: surfs up and the audience laughs. Joey continues mentioning the
Speaker 2: surfer who keeps talking about ice hockey philosophy to him.
Speaker 2: Joey impersonates the surfer voice. The audience keeps laughing. Then
Speaker 2: Joey begins this incredible Jacques Cousteau act, which is like,
Speaker 2: so good, so great.
Speaker 1: Jacques Cousteau, for those of you who don't know, was
Speaker 1: a nature, a marine nature, like a documentarian who did
Speaker 1: a lot of things in the seventies and eighties that
Speaker 1: were really cool underwater documentaries that people hadn't seen before. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he was French.
Speaker 2: And we continue and Dave nails it like he nails
Speaker 2: the voice. My god, he nails the cadence, like the birds,
Speaker 2: the bird sounds.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the birds got yeah. Everything. If you've ever
Speaker 1: seen a Jacques Custo, which you may have if your
Speaker 1: our age and watched like a documentary in your science class,
Speaker 1: it is exactly like a Jacques Cousta.
Speaker 3: Yep, Dave.
Speaker 2: Dave absolutely nailed this impression. So He does some more
Speaker 2: impressions and the audience loves it, and he includes his
Speaker 2: classic cut it out and gets a big round of applause.
Speaker 2: He finishes his act by doing Popeye impression and the
Speaker 2: audience is going crazy for him. Next, Joey and his
Speaker 2: competitor Steve greet each other on stage. Ed McMahon explains
Speaker 2: that they are now going to see how the judges
Speaker 2: rated them. Champion Steve Odokerk gets all four stars a
Speaker 2: perfect score, and Joey Gladstone gets all four stars another
Speaker 2: perfect score. Ooh, I was excited. But the way they
Speaker 2: break ties on Star Search is for the studio audience
Speaker 2: to vote for their favorite, and once the votes are in,
Speaker 2: the results will be revealed at the end of the show.
Speaker 2: A spokeswoman takes us to commercial as Danny stands up
Speaker 2: in the audience, very smitten with her. A little while later,
Speaker 2: it's the end of the show and the results are in.
Speaker 2: Joey's inner monologue reveals that he is terrified and he
Speaker 2: has his whole career writing on this moment, whereas his
Speaker 2: competitor competitor's inner monologue is telling us how he's thinking
Speaker 2: about where to get a good burd after the.
Speaker 1: Show, which was such a strange. It was sort of
Speaker 1: a strange, like, oh, we're we can hear people's thoughts
Speaker 1: now interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it was just that fits in.
Speaker 1: Was like okay, I love it.
Speaker 2: Hey, it fits in with the Aliens, the X Files,
Speaker 2: the portals, the shape shifting like you know, this is
Speaker 2: full house is magic. My greeting, of course, Ed McMahon
Speaker 2: reveals that Steve oda Kirk is the winner and the
Speaker 2: reigning champion. Wo we no, I felt terrible. We cut
Speaker 2: to a very disappointed commercial break, and when we come back,
Speaker 2: we are backstage again at Star Search. The entire family
Speaker 2: runs into Joey's room, congratulating him on a great show.
Speaker 2: Everyone's doing their part by telling Joey how wonderful he was,
Speaker 2: but Steph takes it above and beyond. You were better
Speaker 2: than the best, You were the bestest, you were super
Speaker 2: best orama. Joey thanks everyone and tells them he's glad
Speaker 2: he's getting out of comedy while he's still young enough
Speaker 2: to laugh about it. I just saw the look on
Speaker 2: his face and I just, oh, my heart dropped.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Danny tells his daughters that he and Jesse want to
Speaker 2: talk to Joey alone for a minute, so he tells
Speaker 2: the girls to go get ed McMahon's autograph, and the
Speaker 2: girls leave once again. The girls are and.
Speaker 1: They've already been. They've already probably figured out where Craft services.
Speaker 1: And we're all, yeah, they're they're touring the studio a lot.
Speaker 1: They're fine. They've stolen a golf card.
Speaker 2: It's like our girls backstage at Fuller. Yeah, they've just yeah,
Speaker 2: the whole run of the stage right right, Craft Service.
Speaker 2: So Joey tells Jesse and Danny to save the pep
Speaker 2: talk because he already knows what they're going to say.
Speaker 2: He mocks them, keep working at it, it's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: You got a perfect score in Star Search. If you
Speaker 2: give up now, you're stupid. Jesse and Danny admit that, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's exactly what they were going to say. I mean,
Speaker 2: I was like, yes, yeah, he nailed all of all
Speaker 2: of those talking points. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Right now, He's like, that's exactly what they were going
Speaker 1: to write. I mean, where we go from here?
Speaker 2: Joey sighs. There comes a time in every man's life
Speaker 2: when he's just got to face the music and say
Speaker 2: to himself, Hey, I'm a failure bro like Joey, But
Speaker 2: he's breaking my heart.
Speaker 1: Failure.
Speaker 2: He's so hard on.
Speaker 1: If you've been a comedian for ten years, you are
Speaker 1: very used to rejecting. Yeah, star search does feel it.
Speaker 1: You've got on Star Search in two weeks. That's like
Speaker 1: you're it's gonna be okay.
Speaker 2: He just doesn't have the perspective. But but then Jesse
Speaker 2: Jesse steps in. Jesse says, nobody calls my friend Joey
Speaker 2: a failure, especially my friend Joey.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: Joey argues back. He says, I'm a local nightclub comic.
Speaker 2: That's all I'm ever gonna be. I've been in the
Speaker 2: same rut for the last ten years. Jesse tells him
Speaker 2: that the failure he's experiencing is his attitude. He says,
Speaker 2: your problem is the way you're looking at success. Do
Speaker 2: you love being a stand up comic? Joey says, well yeah,
Speaker 2: Jesse's have you made thousands of people laugh millions tonight?
Speaker 2: And Joey perks up. Well yeah, Jesse goes on, before
Speaker 2: this little stupid deadline of yours, were you happy with
Speaker 2: your life? Joey throws up his hands and admits yes,
Speaker 2: and Jesse concludes personal happiness and bringing joy to others.
Speaker 2: That sounds like success to me. Jesse knows that's that's
Speaker 2: so great. He's so proud of Jesse.
Speaker 1: Like, you know, for he really in this moment, he
Speaker 1: really redeemed himself. He shined. I was very proud of
Speaker 1: how he stood up for his friend and supported him
Speaker 1: and was like, dude, you're gonna it's gonna be okay.
Speaker 1: You actually are doing just fine.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think I think Jesse's only flaw is in
Speaker 2: the relationship era of his life. But when it comes
Speaker 2: to pep talks and building up his friends, like this
Speaker 2: was Chef's kiss, no notes, it was.
Speaker 1: Perfect, no notes, and that it was great. You know.
Speaker 1: I know we are sometimes hard on Uncle Jay and
Speaker 1: in the in the show, but this was a shining
Speaker 1: example of Uncle Jesse making you believe in yourself.
Speaker 2: It was great. It was great. He didn't make it
Speaker 2: all about himself. He just referred to like, right, it's
Speaker 2: like I us it career. But he didn't like make
Speaker 2: it all about him.
Speaker 1: He didn't make it all exactly. I was, yeah, this
Speaker 1: is growth people, This yes gross, Joey got a moment
Speaker 1: to have his own feet.
Speaker 2: I love it. So Jesse asks Danny if there's anything
Speaker 2: he'd like to add to this PEP talk, and Danny
Speaker 2: is staring off in the distance and he says, oh, sorry,
Speaker 2: I wasn't listening. I was still thinking about that spokes model.
Speaker 1: And which also does it track for Danny though Danny's
Speaker 1: not usually that guy. I felt like a Jesse line
Speaker 1: to me? It did.
Speaker 2: I guess it did to me too, even the fact
Speaker 2: that he stood up in the in the audience and
Speaker 2: was like, oh her, that was I'm like, okay, Danny
Speaker 2: needs a date.
Speaker 1: And also, what were spokes models? Why were they usually
Speaker 1: a spokesperson is like for a product? Why were we
Speaker 1: I don't know why we. I guess that was kind
Speaker 1: of what you called like price is right and all
Speaker 1: those we were usually advertising some sort of product. I
Speaker 1: guess yeah, yeah, I guess they would just be called
Speaker 1: because we just don't really have spokes models anymore.
Speaker 2: No, No, they're just co hosts now, it's you know, it's.
Speaker 1: They're just anyone with a with a social media.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, basically. So next we go back to the
Speaker 2: Star Search stage, which is now devoid of audience members.
Speaker 2: It's empty. Yes, Joey walks onto the stage and stands
Speaker 2: at the empty microphone. He begins to do his Wizard
Speaker 2: of Oz sketch for the empty audience. He shrugs, well,
Speaker 2: I gave it my best shot ten years. It's been
Speaker 2: a great ten years. But what do I have to
Speaker 2: show for it? I do do the best Popeye in
Speaker 2: the business. And he imitates Popeye's laugh. Just then we
Speaker 2: hear a giggle. The camera shows Michelle walking onto the stage.
Speaker 2: She's giggling at Joey's impression. Joey walks.
Speaker 1: Kind of creepy that she walked. The way she's giggling
Speaker 1: and walking in it was so for it felt do
Speaker 1: you see the movie Child's Play?
Speaker 2: Oh, it felt really creepy me.
Speaker 1: She was like, I was like stop doing that, Like stop,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm sorry. I ruined the moment.
Speaker 2: You didn't ruin the moment.
Speaker 1: I was like, it just this this it just felt
Speaker 1: like one of those moments like this episode felt very
Speaker 1: like again that sort of forcing of Michelle to do stuff,
Speaker 1: and and again the kids wandering about.
Speaker 2: Well, well, I mean this is when you have men
Speaker 2: who don't have children writing for a three year old
Speaker 2: and you're like, well, I don't think a three year
Speaker 2: old would do that. And yeah, I mean, I give
Speaker 2: the Olsen's credit. They did great with what they were
Speaker 2: give they did great.
Speaker 1: They did great with what I mean, there were three
Speaker 1: but it just I was like this, it just anyway.
Speaker 1: But but but she has to be there for the
Speaker 1: next part, which is of course makes so much sense,
Speaker 1: which is which is the emotional unload on the top,
Speaker 1: which we seem to do a lot.
Speaker 2: She's the therapist of the family, so.
Speaker 1: This family needs somebody to talk to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, joe Joey picks her up and tells her that
Speaker 2: he has been on so many stages and told so
Speaker 2: many joke but he never gets tired of hearing people laugh.
Speaker 2: He asks himself, So why am I walking away? Michelle responds,
Speaker 2: I don't know. Joey sighs. I did have that deadline,
Speaker 2: but let's face it, I've never been on time for
Speaker 2: anything in my entire life, so why start now.
Speaker 1: You're a comedian. That's a hallmark of meeting a comedian
Speaker 1: is never being on time.
Speaker 2: You're never on time.
Speaker 1: You get rejected time blindness, rejecting it. Yeah, you're either
Speaker 1: two hours early and stressing about that, or you're two
Speaker 1: hours late, and you're like, I'm an idiot, Like, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got a normal life for a comic, very successful.
Speaker 2: But you know, the joke's gotta work. So Joey decides
Speaker 2: to make a new deadline. He declares, if I'm not
Speaker 2: on the Carson Show in sixty years, I'm going to
Speaker 2: seriously consider changing my career. He does a porky pig impression,
Speaker 2: concluding that ain't all folks. Just then, Danny, Jesse, DJ
Speaker 2: and Steph walk onto the stage, applauding Joey and singing,
Speaker 2: oh a slow clap, Oh yeah, Oh.
Speaker 1: Got a slow clap, the slow yeah clap.
Speaker 2: Just I love the slow clap.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it was a staple of eighties movies and
Speaker 1: film and television.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: It still happens occasionally today, but I think we now
Speaker 1: do it more of an ironic, true, true satire esque way.
Speaker 1: But no, it was.
Speaker 2: They weren't mocking him.
Speaker 1: Walk around the corner slow clap, where you've heard something
Speaker 1: and you're giving someone their applause.
Speaker 2: It's a very you're building to a bigger applause, a.
Speaker 1: Moving moment in many an eighties uh film or show,
Speaker 1: Oh it's great here we're here for the slow.
Speaker 2: The family is so supportive. They applaud him and they
Speaker 2: sing we love you, and Joey tells them to cut
Speaker 2: it out, and that is our show, ladies and gentlemen, Hey,
Speaker 2: I love it. Oh, this was such a good.
Speaker 1: You know what's actually really funny is Dave says, well,
Speaker 1: Joey says, if I'm not in the Carson on the
Speaker 1: Carson Show in sixty years and when we came back
Speaker 1: and did Fuller House, we did the Tonight Show, Jimmy Allen,
Speaker 1: that's right, and that was that was only the Tonight
Speaker 1: Show with Johnny Carson. Yeah, so we did the entire cast,
Speaker 1: did do the Carson Show technically, yes, the Tonight Show
Speaker 1: within Joey's Yeah, so Joey, I just want to point out, Joey,
Speaker 1: Joey made.
Speaker 2: Up Joey manifested that moment. It had it on the
Speaker 2: Tonight Show and the whole family Joey him, I didn't
Speaker 2: even put that together.
Speaker 1: Well, the whole family except for Michelle.
Speaker 2: Well, wasn't Johnny, wasn't Jemmy Jimmy Fallon? He was Michelle
Speaker 2: in the pencil bed, Yes, yes, he was playing the
Speaker 2: role with.
Speaker 1: Yeah, while Michelle's like, look, I've heard enough out of
Speaker 1: his family.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Michelle still healing her trauma.
Speaker 1: Had been everyone's therapist for long enough. But yeah, we
Speaker 1: we went on uh when on the Tonight show So
Speaker 1: I did, which was so amazing and so fun, and this.
Speaker 2: Showcase David talents so well. My only note is I
Speaker 2: feel like we've kind of done this episode before in
Speaker 2: season one with businessman Joey with the Philistiller episode, I
Speaker 2: feel like that he was also having a crisis of
Speaker 2: his career crisis.
Speaker 1: Well, but but Jesse's also had this moment.
Speaker 2: A couple of true, very true.
Speaker 1: I feel like the guys kind of like every few
Speaker 1: seasons there's kind of this moment. The only one I
Speaker 1: really feel like, never well at least that I remember,
Speaker 1: But again I have not seen the show. I don't
Speaker 1: think Danny ever had like a crisis of like, oh,
Speaker 1: wake up San Francisco, what am I doing with my life?
Speaker 1: He was usually pretty okay, but it consistently. I feel
Speaker 1: like Jesse and Joey definitely throughout the seasons had a
Speaker 1: lot of like what am I doing? And then they
Speaker 1: would change careers and then they would start an ad agency.
Speaker 2: I do wish we could see more. I want to
Speaker 2: see some another side of Joey, not just Joey finding
Speaker 2: finding a date or Joey you know, figuring out his career, Like,
Speaker 2: let's get some more, let's involve him a little bit more.
Speaker 1: But I do feel that Joey uh in some ways
Speaker 1: was a little one dimensional, which although which gives me
Speaker 1: a lot of hope because I think in season three,
Speaker 1: not too long from this one, we have Joey as
Speaker 1: the honeybeemm.
Speaker 2: Oh is that coming up? Okay? Cool?
Speaker 1: I think that comes up in the third season, and
Speaker 1: so that's a bit great where we get to definitely
Speaker 1: see another side of Joey. So we'll see more. But
Speaker 1: you're right, we do. It's it's he doesn't get a
Speaker 1: lot of his only life outside of the house is
Speaker 1: like comedy club, right, or being tied to Justin, which
Speaker 1: I guess again it comes that you have to do that,
Speaker 1: like you don't show everyone's life, you show little slices
Speaker 1: of life.
Speaker 2: But well, we had a big cast too, like the
Speaker 2: house was very full, so the writers had a hard
Speaker 2: job writing for each giving each character their moment, and
Speaker 2: they're kept adding more. Yeah, it never stopped getting fuller
Speaker 2: and fuller, like we.
Speaker 1: Were like mob wise, you just fed us after midnight
Speaker 1: and there were more of us.
Speaker 2: We got to talk about the everwherey look moments?
Speaker 1: Did you have an everywhere you look moment? Oh?
Speaker 2: God, yes, like major Oneska, did you? I assumed you
Speaker 2: have the same ones.
Speaker 1: Like I said, I, I had a bit of a
Speaker 1: panic this morning after realizing I.
Speaker 2: Had almost watched the episode.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you then, so let me let me
Speaker 1: tell yeah, let me please tell me because I look,
Speaker 1: I think there are a couple that I that I remember,
Speaker 1: but it's all in the star Search audience.
Speaker 2: Obviously.
Speaker 1: That was just like oh yeah, yeah, I think that
Speaker 1: was where I didn't see a lot of people, but
Speaker 1: I was not.
Speaker 2: I had to pause it and like walk because I
Speaker 2: can't say I had to walk up to my TV
Speaker 2: and like look and pause because it is quick and
Speaker 2: so it's really hard to catch, right I did it.
Speaker 2: I pause specifical because I'm like, I'm gonna have to
Speaker 2: find it everywhere he looks so sitting behind you guys.
Speaker 1: So maybe so maybe I'm wrong. We did not then
Speaker 1: if it's a bunch of our people in the.
Speaker 2: Not everybody, not every there's only a few, but still
Speaker 2: there's a.
Speaker 1: Lot of our people in the audience. Then I would
Speaker 1: think that maybe we didn't just jump in on a
Speaker 1: taping it.
Speaker 2: Well, there's a lot of it that I didn't recognize too,
Speaker 2: So it could have been you know.
Speaker 1: We got the could have been like those two rows
Speaker 1: for that well, and it could have been our people
Speaker 1: in the back when we're getting close.
Speaker 2: Maybe yeah, oh, that's exactly what is sitting by. Oh
Speaker 2: so sitting behind you is Bridget and Melissa Cameron DJ
Speaker 2: Candice's sisters. But Bridget kind of moves around like she's
Speaker 2: in this section at one point and then she's in
Speaker 2: a different section. So they used her. They used her
Speaker 2: a lot. I think Janice is there. I couldn't tell.
Speaker 2: Janie was always like on the edge of the frame,
Speaker 2: but I swear because she hated to.
Speaker 1: Be on camera more than any Like as much as
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, sure, this is easy, like whatever, she's like,
Speaker 1: please hide me, please don't please, don't make me go
Speaker 1: in front of the camera, she'd always be like, is
Speaker 1: Sherry doing it? Usually it was if Sherry's doing it
Speaker 1: and Barbara's doing it, or at least if Sherry's doing it.
Speaker 1: My mom would get roped. It fine, I'll do it,
Speaker 1: but I want to be on the edge. So she'd
Speaker 1: always tell our stage managers like, put me on the
Speaker 1: very edge. I don't like, cut me out if you can,
Speaker 1: I only I don't want to see much of me,
Speaker 1: like an ear is fine. So yeah, I seem to
Speaker 1: remember after my mom having her one line that that
Speaker 1: episode in like season one or two, she was like, yeah, no, done,
Speaker 1: I don't never want to do that again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she that explains why she is literally like literally
Speaker 2: her her face is cut in half. That's why I
Speaker 2: was like, Yeah, she was probably like thrilled.
Speaker 1: She was arob like great, leave, yeah, just I'll be
Speaker 1: a body here, but please don't get me involved in this.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then the last the last ever where you look,
Speaker 2: I did notice that Christian Alfonso was one of the judges.
Speaker 2: I spotted her right away.
Speaker 1: But which that's what makes me think that they were
Speaker 1: already shooting an episode because they would have oh judges,
Speaker 1: and the fact that she was there and not credited
Speaker 1: makes me feel like we didn't pay her to be
Speaker 1: on the show. That's why she just happened to have
Speaker 1: gotten maybe in the you know, what I mean. That
Speaker 1: was kind of how what I felt about it.
Speaker 2: That makes a lot of sense. Okay, I bet you
Speaker 2: that's it. I bet you that's it. But you know
Speaker 2: who's next to her, and I didn't. I didn't catch
Speaker 2: it until my second rewatch. Jeff Jeff Franklin.
Speaker 1: Is the other judge. Oh my god, yes, oh yes,
Speaker 1: split second. I can't believe I didn't know. It's a
Speaker 1: split second thing set up.
Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't catch it the first time, only
Speaker 2: on the second rewatch when I freeze framed every single frame.
Speaker 1: Jeff is Has he been on the show rarely?
Speaker 2: He rarely is on on the show because he's too
Speaker 2: busy running.
Speaker 1: She heard his voice? Did we not hear his voice?
Speaker 1: In one? We did one thing as an announcer or
Speaker 1: stage manager that we heard his voice?
Speaker 2: We did, yes, But.
Speaker 1: Other than that, he's he's been name only. We've never
Speaker 1: seen him on the show. Yep.
Speaker 2: And this is one of the rare times.
Speaker 1: This is it.
Speaker 2: You see Jeff, but don't blink because you'll miss it.
Speaker 2: But he's sitting just to the right of Christian Alfonso.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god. It was a very
Speaker 2: exciting moment for me.
Speaker 1: So get yourself in there, Jeff, oh, Jeff, write yourself
Speaker 1: apart and.
Speaker 2: Get a credit either.
Speaker 1: Also, I was gonna say also uncredited, so that's that's
Speaker 1: his all.
Speaker 2: But yeah, that was This was so fun, such a
Speaker 2: classic episode that people remember.
Speaker 1: For a second. When I started watching, I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, Star Search. For some reason, the Star
Speaker 1: Search episode and the Wayne Newton Vegas episode started to
Speaker 1: morph together for me.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, which I.
Speaker 1: Think may eventually something like I know that eventually we
Speaker 1: go to Vegas and Joey plays Way Newton, isn't it.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's something I don't know. For some reason,
Speaker 1: I had it tied that like it came about from
Speaker 1: Joey being on Star Search, so maybe it's referenced like
Speaker 1: hey I saw you on Star Search and blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I could be making things up like
Speaker 1: the X Files Full House show, but who knows. I
Speaker 1: always confused.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had a fabulous Ali Baba Casino with the
Speaker 2: the Way Newton was a Vegas.
Speaker 1: Well, a lot of people confuse Reno and Vegas and
Speaker 1: then they go to Reno and they go, this is
Speaker 1: not Vegas. Yes, And it's usually pretty clear at that point,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I because I have a great story for
Speaker 1: the Vegas one.
Speaker 2: Oh I can't wait, I can't wait.
Speaker 1: Yay, Yeah, Okay. I don't know what season that, but
Speaker 1: this was this brought back memories of watching Star Search
Speaker 1: with my family. I loved it and four Stars and
Speaker 1: like the whole the spokes models, everything on the screen said,
Speaker 1: you know, Joey Gladstone. I'm like, yes, but yeah, I
Speaker 1: loved I loved Star Search. I loved this episode. And
Speaker 1: it was fun to see Dave do a bit of
Speaker 1: his stand up, like when he was on stage doing
Speaker 1: his Star Search thing that was Dave's stand up and
Speaker 1: you could kind of tell his rhythm was a little
Speaker 1: different doing stand up, Like it wasn't his full house
Speaker 1: show scripted, but it was, you know, it was his
Speaker 1: bits of his set. He's always done the clean guy
Speaker 1: comedy stuff. He's always done a lot of like very
Speaker 1: family friendly comedy.
Speaker 2: Stuff, very opposite of.
Speaker 1: Right, very right. Went one way and he went two
Speaker 1: forks in the road, and uh, it was just cool
Speaker 1: to see Dave like do his to kind of shine
Speaker 1: as himself there.
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm so out of him and I'm just
Speaker 2: I love Dave so much and he just shine this episode.
Speaker 1: I don't know how Steve Odekirk one with these four.
Speaker 2: Arms flailing around right, although.
Speaker 1: I do feel like that was in a spina, was
Speaker 1: it not? Didn't he do some weird thing with his
Speaker 1: arms or like flas them around his Jim Carrey is
Speaker 1: like a great yeah. So I'm just saying so that
Speaker 1: that originated on the Sticarge episode of Full House.
Speaker 2: Okay, yes, I love it.
Speaker 1: I wonder if Jim Carrey would have auditioned for Joey Gladstone.
Speaker 1: You imagine that.
Speaker 2: That would have been unhinged. That would have been so
Speaker 2: I mean, it would have been a different show again,
Speaker 2: but he would have been even even more unhinged?
Speaker 3: Was it?
Speaker 1: Because I was a huge in Living Color fan? You
Speaker 1: were oh yeah, oh probably a young age when I
Speaker 1: most of the jokes went over my head again, But yeah,
Speaker 1: so cool David du Coveney, Jim Carrey and uh yeah,
Speaker 1: we can.
Speaker 2: Also are we recasting?
