Speaker 2: it was a perfect like I just gave myself permission
Speaker 2: to like just kind of be mellow.
Speaker 1: Oh good.
Speaker 2: So yeah, no, But it was other than that, it
Speaker 2: was great. It was easy, you know, small family, just
Speaker 2: small little get together at the house, have kids and
Speaker 2: my husband and my parents, and yeah, that was really it.
Speaker 2: And then New Year we did, uh you know night,
Speaker 2: We did our New Year's celebration at nine pm and
Speaker 2: that was it.
Speaker 1: That's not the best. That's the best I did. Not
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks later, so people are very much
Speaker 1: over again the Christmas.
Speaker 2: But I feel like January is that month when it's
Speaker 2: like the first time you see people, You're like, okay,
Speaker 2: we I have to talk to you. How it's yeah,
Speaker 2: how the holidays were?
Speaker 1: Yeah, very true, very true.
Speaker 2: Nothing nothing. Yeah, February is really when we start back
Speaker 2: to work.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's when that's when my brain finally goes back.
Speaker 2: Somewhere around mid February.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I did not stay up till midnight. I
Speaker 1: I went to bed at eleven pm, which was late
Speaker 1: for me. On New Year's and Christmas was fine. I
Speaker 1: felt like the the winter break was so long, Like
Speaker 1: Felicity didn't go back to school until today, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Beach had a very long winter break. It felt like years.
Speaker 1: But now we're all back back to work, back.
Speaker 2: To school, back to business, back to podcasting.
Speaker 1: Yes, and my I'm very on edge because I've Felicity
Speaker 1: takes her driving test in a few weeks, so we've
Speaker 1: been really emphasizing going out every day and driving. And
Speaker 1: it is absolutely hell like it is. It is the
Speaker 1: my I don't know if Zoe has started, is she
Speaker 1: I don't know if she has a permit or if
Speaker 1: she's getting geared out.
Speaker 2: And she's working on it.
Speaker 1: She's working on it, so, oh, well, I think you'll
Speaker 1: be a much better driving instructor than I am, because
Speaker 1: I am a very nervous driver. I'm a very nervous passenger.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have Yeah, it's I'm a little she's done
Speaker 2: like parking lot driving, so not like real driving. So
Speaker 2: we'll get there though, We'll get there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hate it. I hated it when I taught Tate.
Speaker 1: I hate it now. It's I'm I've got notts in
Speaker 1: my head.
Speaker 2: It's not fun. Teaching your kids anything is like stressful
Speaker 2: and their stress and your stress, and then teaching them
Speaker 2: how to operate a vehicle around other people operating vehicles.
Speaker 2: Oh right, terrifying.
Speaker 1: There's so many things that could go wrong, right because
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, yeah, exactly exactly, And she's good, like
Speaker 1: she's she's a good driver, but she is she is
Speaker 1: nervous like me, which is not good. So I always say,
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, you're great as long as no other
Speaker 1: cars are on the road. But once other cars get
Speaker 1: on the road.
Speaker 2: That's gonna be a problem. Here in LA, it's a.
Speaker 1: Little bit of a problem. So not got to land
Speaker 1: to drive defensively in uh in l A. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: not not an easy state to drive in for sure.
Speaker 2: I mean, as we've seen on the show, apparently San
Speaker 2: Francisco is also not a great city to drive him.
Speaker 2: You know, cars go sailing into into.
Speaker 1: Bays and motorcycles get damn cycles. Yeah, it's all because
Speaker 1: of Jesse.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is gonna be hard to ensure. I'll tell
Speaker 2: you that.
Speaker 1: Yes, State Farm's gonna drop him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that State Farm is not always on his side.
Speaker 1: Well, let's get into this next episode.
Speaker 2: Continuing with season two, Season two episode two. Yeah, this
Speaker 2: is a big one for you too, by the way,
Speaker 2: which I loved.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, No, it is a big one. My name's
Speaker 1: in the title, Tanner Versus Gibbi. Okay, so today we're
Speaker 1: discussing season two, episode two, Tanner Versus Gibbler, which originally
Speaker 1: aired on October twenty first, nineteen eighty eight, and it
Speaker 1: goes a little something like this. Danny starts a new
Speaker 1: job at the TV station, co hosting a morning talk
Speaker 1: show called Wake Up San Francisco. He meets his new
Speaker 1: co host, Rebecca Donaldson, just days before work is supposed
Speaker 1: to begin. Also, DJ throws a surprise birthday party for Kimmy,
Speaker 1: but Kimmy's older friends clash with DJ, causing a rift
Speaker 1: between the girls. Those our first big fight, DJ, Kimmy's
Speaker 1: first big fight, and I am here for this. It
Speaker 1: was directed by John Boab. I don't know if I
Speaker 1: said that right, I mean that looks right. Okay, look
Speaker 1: at it Tommy speaking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have not I I will say, I don't know,
Speaker 2: I don't remember.
Speaker 1: I have no recollection of this.
Speaker 2: But I loved the I loved the some of the shots.
Speaker 2: It was different, it felt different, felt uh, it felt
Speaker 2: a little more soap opera at moments, like there was
Speaker 2: a shot where you're like kind of in the foreground
Speaker 2: and DJ walks in and like. And there were a
Speaker 2: couple of things like sitting in the window seat of
Speaker 2: one of the of the girls room that we don't
Speaker 2: usually do. Just some pieces of like set that weren't
Speaker 2: necessarily used, or like moving the camera up into set
Speaker 2: a little bit more. It was it was interesting.
Speaker 1: I liked it. I liked it too. I liked it too.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm interested if this style will continue or if
Speaker 1: this director comes back. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know. It'll be interesting.
Speaker 1: I liked it. I liked his style. So I'm a
Speaker 1: big fan, big fan of John Boab. This episode was
Speaker 1: written by Lenny Rips, who we love. I love because
Speaker 1: he created Kimmy Gibler and so he included me in
Speaker 1: a lot of his scripts.
Speaker 2: Yep, he created Kimmy and he he loved writing for
Speaker 2: Steph too. He liked he liked writing for the little
Speaker 2: smart ass lines for stuff.
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, the best. You always have the best smartle
Speaker 1: like lines. And we have several notable guest stars this week.
Speaker 1: Most notable we have the introduction of Lori Lachlan as

Speaker 2: movie rad Oh. I think it was rat. I always
Speaker 2: get rad and gleaning the key. Uh confused, Okay, but
Speaker 2: I believe it was Rad And I think it was
Speaker 2: BMX riding like by like bike riding. Maybe it was skateboarding.
Speaker 2: I feel like leaving the cube of skateboarding and that
Speaker 2: this might have been like a rad bike riding like BMS.
Speaker 1: Okay, never seen it, never heard of it, all right, yep,
Speaker 1: but good to know, good to know. Very eighties obviously
Speaker 1: with the movie sounds very eighties.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's just you can picture the neon.
Speaker 1: Also guest starring this week is Kimberly Dunham as Melissa
Speaker 1: and Amy Foster as Nina. I immediately recognized her.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my gosh, you're on so many things.
Speaker 1: She's done so many things. She's most well known for
Speaker 1: playing Margo on Punky Brewster.
Speaker 2: That's what I remember her from was that.
Speaker 1: And she played Claire in Troop of Beverly Hills. I
Speaker 1: remember that too, Like, yes, such a great movie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she was just a sitcom queen in the nineties, Charles
Speaker 1: in Charge, Wonder Year's Empty Nest, Step by Step, these
Speaker 1: iconic shows. What a resume. And she stopped acting back
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety four, which I can relate to. That's
Speaker 1: right about the time I stopped acting as well. But
Speaker 1: she did appear as Margo when Punky Brewster did their
Speaker 1: reboot in twenty twenty one. So that's great that she
Speaker 1: came back for that. Good for her. Yeah. And then
Speaker 1: our last guest star of this week is Richard Paul
Speaker 1: as mister Strobridge.
Speaker 2: Also a very well known character actor that I've seen
Speaker 2: in a ton of things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think he comes back. He comes back
Speaker 1: later in later episodes two, which is great because he's
Speaker 1: such a great actor. He played Jerry Folwell in The
Speaker 1: People versus Larry Flint.
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And he was a star of a seventies TV
Speaker 1: show called Carter Country County, Carter County, Well that too, Carter.
Speaker 1: I can't read Carter County, Okay, And so his tons
Speaker 1: of TV credits to his name. But sadly he passed
Speaker 1: away in nineteen ninety eight. Oh, so very sad. I
Speaker 1: did not know that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, I have some definite like faces that
Speaker 2: you've seen on a lot of eighties and nineties TV
Speaker 2: shows and stuff.
Speaker 1: In this episode, very recognizable. And he plays He does
Speaker 1: such a good job as Danny's boss trying to talk
Speaker 1: Danny down. Yes, so we opened, we have new opening
Speaker 1: credits like I had wonder last time we got new credit.
Speaker 1: I knew the kids had gotten new credits the last episode,
Speaker 1: but now, yeah, John the haircut, the haircut, He's got
Speaker 1: a new opening credit, which is great. There's an updated
Speaker 1: shot of the family riding in bullet the convertible on
Speaker 1: the bridge. It looks like there's some two scenes in
Speaker 1: the park in.
Speaker 2: Some new stuff in the park. Yeah, John's got like
Speaker 2: the black hat on that, Like we kind of redid
Speaker 2: the running scene, like oh yeah that we shot in
Speaker 2: the park, and like the soccer or whatever. And then
Speaker 2: there was a couple things in a grocery store. I
Speaker 2: did not remember the part of the intro where there's
Speaker 2: like women talking to the baby in the cart and
Speaker 2: the three guys are at the grocery store, Like I
Speaker 2: don't remember that.
Speaker 1: That was just hey, you know it's they got to
Speaker 1: appeal to all the day. Yeah, the jet I.
Speaker 2: Was like, oh that just because it was sort of
Speaker 2: like in the first season where the two girls walk
Speaker 2: by and you know, Jesse and Joey go like off
Speaker 2: that way. It was that moment. But the updated version.
Speaker 1: The updated version, oh, it was great. It was great.
Speaker 1: Michelle is just a woman magnet, a babe magnet, if
Speaker 1: you will. Yeah, so great. And then instead of at
Speaker 1: the very last shot, instead of picking up the baby
Speaker 1: off the kitchen floor, Bob picks up a toddler or
Speaker 1: the top. Michelle as a toddler walks over to him
Speaker 1: and he picks her up and puts her in the
Speaker 1: chair for the family dinner. So great. This is such
Speaker 1: a good updated opening credits. I loved it. So we
Speaker 1: open our cold open in Michelle's room, where Michelle is
Speaker 1: bouncing on her little horse Rocker. When Jesse asked if
Speaker 1: she wants to go sleepy, Michelle promptly answers no. So
Speaker 1: Joey asks if she wants to stay up all night,
Speaker 1: and again she answers no. Jesse scoffs and questions, well,
Speaker 1: isn't mister Horsey tired. Michelle tells him no, and Joey asks,
Speaker 1: are you gonna say anything but no? And Michelle responds no, no,
Speaker 1: Clearly this is a word. She had very excited to
Speaker 1: showcase her new lexicon of the word right no.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. When toddler's learn no, they're like, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: say it for everything.
Speaker 1: It's so funny. So Joey tries to trick her asking
Speaker 1: what's your favorite James Bond movie? Would it happen to
Speaker 1: be Doctor? And Michelle finishes by saying no. And I
Speaker 1: laughed at this part because you can see Mary, Kate
Speaker 1: or Ashley staring straight up at the boom mic and.
Speaker 2: You're gonna say, remember the boom So a boom mic
Speaker 2: is like it's a long it's like on a long stick.
Speaker 2: And on sitcoms they had like these little like podium
Speaker 2: things and so this the the boom mic will go
Speaker 2: into set and it's kind of on a stick and
Speaker 2: the operator can be turning it depending on who's talking
Speaker 2: and things. But you know, to a baby, it's this
Speaker 2: little thing that's like up in the air sort of
Speaker 2: moving around, and so they were fascinated by it and
Speaker 2: like look at it, and you know they would be
Speaker 2: like moving around and they like play games with it
Speaker 2: and stuff, and yeah, it.
Speaker 1: Was uh and you can't tell a toddler don't look
Speaker 1: at that. I don't look at it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, look at it. Yeah, And it's near enough that
Speaker 2: they're like, should I touch it?
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll see this again in a future episodes.
Speaker 1: Them trying to grow so funny. So Jesse and Joey
Speaker 1: laugh at Michelle's response, and Jesse admits it seems like
Speaker 1: we're unable to put a two year old to bed.
Speaker 1: Joey asks Jesse if it's possible that she's smarter than them.
Speaker 1: They both start to shake their heads no, when Michelle
Speaker 1: simply smiles and says, yes, and that is the button
Speaker 1: on her cold open. It's very, very, very cute, So
Speaker 1: let me continue. In the kitchen, where Jesse is singing
Speaker 1: as he makes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Danny walks
Speaker 1: over to Michelle with a roll of tape in his hand,
Speaker 1: giving her a handy hint. He says, if you put
Speaker 1: masking tape around your hand, sticky side out, it's useful
Speaker 1: for removing that unsightly lint from jacket or sweater.
Speaker 2: Did Danny Tanner invent the lint roller?
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, this is pre lint roller. Is that pre Well,
Speaker 1: it's either a makeshift one or maybe he invented right. Wow,
Speaker 1: let's go with that. Danny Tanner invented the roller that
Speaker 1: would track. Yeah. So Danny is demonstrating the effectiveness of
Speaker 1: his lint roller on Michelle's sweater, and Jesse chimes in
Speaker 1: there's something every toddler needs to know.
Speaker 2: Danny again leaning into his like OCD, we're seeing he's
Speaker 2: more and more fastidious about everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very very strong, this character trait. He's there.
Speaker 1: The writer's definitely leaned into this for season two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so DJ announces she made a list of the food
Speaker 1: that she needs to get for Kimmy's surprise birthday party.
Speaker 1: She rattles off grape soda, orange soda, caramel, corn, cherry, licorice,
Speaker 1: and ice cream. Joey asks, why stop? Why shop just
Speaker 1: put out a bowl of white sugar pretty much? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's all that Sandy made. Yeah, exactly, it's just straight
Speaker 1: pixie sticks. Yep. The phone rings, and Danny answers it,
Speaker 1: telling the person on the other line that he'll be
Speaker 1: right there. He tries to hang up, but he's unable
Speaker 1: to let go of the phone because the sticky tape
Speaker 1: is still on his hand from his handy tip demonstration.
Speaker 2: See that's where he came up with the lint roller.
Speaker 2: He was like, you need a separate device to put
Speaker 2: the sticky on, because if you put it on your hand,
Speaker 2: you're gonna get stuck to things.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get stuck to the phone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, where it came from.
Speaker 1: This is the orange. It all makes sense now, so
Speaker 1: he tries to pull himself together. Bob is so funny
Speaker 1: in this where he's like knocking over the desk lamp
Speaker 1: but everything, it's just he does such a good job
Speaker 1: with this bit. But once he pulls himself together, he
Speaker 1: tells Jesse and Joey that that was his boss on
Speaker 1: the phone and he needs him down at the station
Speaker 1: right away. He excitedly mentions that his boss said he
Speaker 1: has some good news, but then he corrects himself, realizing
Speaker 1: he actually said big news. Then he worriedly tells them, well,
Speaker 1: that could be bad news. Danny starts to spiral, questioning
Speaker 1: why why didn't he say? Why didn't I ask him?
Speaker 1: He throws his arms up in the air and tells
Speaker 1: them I'll worry on the way, and he rushes out
Speaker 1: the door.
Speaker 2: That was a very Bob moment.
Speaker 1: Such a Bob moment, just erotic, worried about things that
Speaker 1: you don't need to worry about, right, and not letting
Speaker 1: anyone get away.
Speaker 2: Not letting anyone right, and then just leaving and you're like,
Speaker 2: I'm still worried.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Such that was definitely an art imitates life moment. Yes,
Speaker 1: Joey says aloud, why does he make himself so crazy?
Speaker 1: And Jesse admits he doesn't know, but he points out
Speaker 1: that on the plus side, there's no lint.
Speaker 2: On the phone, very very delinted. That a fabulous blue
Speaker 2: phone that matches the curtains.
Speaker 1: That's so great that it matches the same queue of
Speaker 1: blue as the curtains. That's such detail.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: So Stephanie walks in, and you're wearing this very cool
Speaker 1: Scottie dog sweater, which, uh.
Speaker 2: I am It was my mom's first dog actually was
Speaker 2: a Scotty dog, which she was like twenty years old,
Speaker 2: and it ate all of her shoes. Oh, but yeah,
Speaker 2: they're very cute on a sweater.
Speaker 1: And is this the same sweater you're wearing in your
Speaker 1: intro in the You're opening credit. I feel like it's
Speaker 1: the same or a similar sweater. I don't know, it
Speaker 1: might be, might be yeah, in repeating maybe yeah, maybe
Speaker 1: this was the weekend they shot those title credits and
Speaker 1: they're like, air right, just go go open the front
Speaker 1: door with a backpack. Probably, yeah, But Stephanie's carrying two
Speaker 1: pretty poofy dresses. In her hand, and she asks DJ,
Speaker 1: which one of these dresses will I look cuter in
Speaker 1: at your party. DJ breaks it to her that she
Speaker 1: wouldn't like this party. It's going to be a bunch
Speaker 1: of six graders. So steph holds up the dress on
Speaker 1: her left, saying, in that case, I'll wear this one.
Speaker 1: It makes me look older. Yes, DJ responds, let me
Speaker 1: say this as nice as I can. You're in first
Speaker 1: grade and all the kids at this party are in
Speaker 1: the sixth grade, and she holds up one and six
Speaker 1: fingers to represent this numerical difference. Stephanie shoots right back,
Speaker 1: holding up her fingers to match. DJs. What if I
Speaker 1: bring five other first graders? Yes, the math makes sense.
Speaker 2: It's the math is math. The math is math.
Speaker 1: That's very creative for a first grader to come up
Speaker 1: with that. I laughed, yeah, But DJ rolls her eyes
Speaker 1: and she calls Uncle Jesse over to give back up.
Speaker 1: As de calls out to Uncle Joey to have him
Speaker 1: help them. Because the girls are arguing, they start yelling
Speaker 1: at each other. Jesse and Joey pull them away and
Speaker 1: bringing them to their neutral corners so that they can
Speaker 1: work it out and understand this dispute. This remind this
Speaker 1: is like a callback to the oat boat episode.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say it's the very sisterly thing, and I've
Speaker 2: watched it go down at my house, like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: you can't. But there was an argument last night between
Speaker 2: my kids because uh Be commented on Zoe's friends post.
Speaker 1: Oh no, you can't do that.
Speaker 2: I was like, you can't do that.
Speaker 1: You can't control what other people are.
Speaker 2: Very Yeah, this is just the test of siblings. Oh man,
Speaker 2: don't talk to my friends. Don't look at them, you
Speaker 2: be around them.
Speaker 1: You're doing all the wrong things at all the wrong times. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yes, And Stuff's like, I just need to look cute
Speaker 2: and it's gonna be fine.
Speaker 1: Right. Why wouldn't she be invited to this party? So
Speaker 1: DJ goes first, and she tells the uncles, well, she
Speaker 1: thinks she's coming to my party, and Steph nods and
Speaker 1: admits I do think that. Indeed, Joey suggests Stephanie, well,
Speaker 1: why don't we have our own super duper party upstairs.
Speaker 1: Doesn't that sound like fun? Steph cringes and asks, does
Speaker 1: that sound like fun to you? Stuff's got Joey's number, like, she.
Speaker 2: Yes, she's like, no, this is don't don't lie to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, don't even. DJ thanks Jesse and Joey for
Speaker 1: their help, and suddenly Kimmy barges in, asking DJ if
Speaker 1: she's ready for school. Jesse scolds her, asking how can
Speaker 1: you just barge into people's houses? Don't you ever knock?
Speaker 1: Kimmy tells him, well, I looked in the window. Nobody
Speaker 1: was in their underwear, She continues, when you're in your underwear,
Speaker 1: I knock, and Jesse walks away as he says, we
Speaker 1: need to get a guard dog.
Speaker 2: Is this the first time that we've watched Kimmy just
Speaker 2: barge in?
Speaker 1: I feel like it is. This is the first.
Speaker 2: I feel like bargas Kimmy has already been in the
Speaker 2: house and usually been leaving.
Speaker 1: Yes, this is her first. This is the first.
Speaker 2: Framers multiple of like just into the house and being like, hi,
Speaker 2: I live here too.
Speaker 1: Bargin in, and that the sound of the kitchen door
Speaker 1: closing behind me, like it just brings them that slam
Speaker 1: yep is so yeah, it's just ingrained in my memory.
Speaker 1: I have a Pavlopian response whenever I hear that. So
Speaker 1: DJ walks up to Kimmy, telling her happy birthday and
Speaker 1: reminding her we're going to the movies tonight, so come
Speaker 1: get me at exactly seven o'clock. Stephanie hears this and
Speaker 1: asks movies, Well, what happened to Kimmy's surprise party? Oh, Stephanie.
Speaker 1: Kimmy's eyes get really wide and she asks a surprise
Speaker 1: party for me? All right. Steph realizes her mistake and says, ooops,
Speaker 1: way to go. Didn't you do this last season too?
Speaker 1: You're giving away surprises like, no, I mean to tell
Speaker 1: you anything.
Speaker 2: Steph was uh when Danny came home and she was like,
Speaker 2: but you guys actually did this and they were like, no,
Speaker 2: we did it, and she's like, yeah, actually you did yeap.
Speaker 1: Oh, Stephanie, you're such such the quintessential sister.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: So DJ looks at stephan tells her she's dead meat,
Speaker 1: but Kimmy assures her that she'll act surprised. She then asks, hey,
Speaker 1: can I invite my two friends from karate class, Nina
Speaker 1: and Melissa. DJ tells her, hey, it's your surprise party.
Speaker 1: You can invite whoever you want. Stephanie chimes in, I'm
Speaker 1: free tonight, invite me. You're so desperate to come to
Speaker 1: this party, like she just never stops trying.
Speaker 2: What a friend man, Yeah, Steph never Yeah, she's always
Speaker 2: looking for people.
Speaker 1: I admire your persistence in this entire episode. So the
Speaker 1: girls leave without it giving her an answer, and Steph
Speaker 1: yells after them, you don't have to answer that now,
Speaker 1: think it over and Kimmy slams the door without answering,
Speaker 1: and Steph says, how rude. Yeah, so it's more of
Speaker 1: a rude Oh yeah, yeah, it was a very yeah,
Speaker 1: a different, little slight change of the intonation and the
Speaker 1: drawing out of the rude. Rude. Yeah, this is definitely
Speaker 1: a full fledged catchphrase at this point. This is stuck
Speaker 1: that they tried out some other ones, like nobody asked me,
Speaker 1: but I think this.
Speaker 2: Is whatbody asked me. Did not? Did not? Stick pin
Speaker 2: of rose on your nose? Came in when every once
Speaker 2: in a while, how.
Speaker 1: Rude was the the catchphrase. So we cut to the
Speaker 1: news station and it is Becky's first appearance on the show,
Speaker 1: Becky Becky is being given a tour around the set
Speaker 1: of Wake Up San Francisco as her boss, mister Strobridge,
Speaker 1: asks do you like it? She exclaims, like it? I
Speaker 1: love it? I could live here. Then she adds all
Speaker 1: this place needs is a sink, a toaster of it,
Speaker 1: and maybe a wall right about there, and she points
Speaker 1: to where the fourth wall would go. She tells her
Speaker 1: boss that she can't wait to meet her co host.
Speaker 1: Mister Strobridge assures her that Danny Tanner should be here
Speaker 1: any second, and then we see a man quickly run
Speaker 1: past the screen. That was so fast like Bob.
Speaker 2: Out Right, we had long legs.
Speaker 1: He was very, very true. So the boss confirms that
Speaker 1: was him. Don't worry, he'll be back, and Danny walks
Speaker 1: back into the set, scoots past Becky, saying excuse me,
Speaker 1: and immediately tells mister Strobridge that he can't wait to
Speaker 1: hear the big news. He confirms with mister Strobridge that
Speaker 1: it is big good news, isn't it, and his boss
Speaker 1: assures him that yes, it is very good news. Mister
Speaker 1: Strobridge tells Danny tonight will be your last sportscast. Danny's shocked,
Speaker 1: assuming that he's getting fired, as he responds. As he responds,
Speaker 1: it's interesting how one man's good is another man's bad.
Speaker 1: Mister Strobridge tries to explain, but Danny cuts him off,
Speaker 1: pleading what did I do. I'm always on time, the
Speaker 1: ratings are up. I never step on the weather man's jokes.
Speaker 1: Who are you going to get to replace me? He's panicked.
Speaker 2: This is Bob right, but just are off the deep
Speaker 2: end and you're like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on, yeah, and.
Speaker 1: He will stop panicking or talking right, So mister Strobridge
Speaker 1: tries calming him, and he introduces Becky as the newest
Speaker 1: member of the Channel eight family. Becky stands up, shaking
Speaker 1: Danny's hand and admitting it's wonderful to meet him. Danny
Speaker 1: potely politely agrees, and then turns around to his boss
Speaker 1: and asks, you're gonna hire her. Danny turns back to
Speaker 1: Becky and pleads, well, before you accept this job, can
Speaker 1: you just take a look at my three little girls here?
Speaker 1: And he flips open his wallet and shows her the
Speaker 1: pictures of them. As he continues, you can't see their feet,
Speaker 1: but boy do they go through shoes. Becky is very uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: She just kind of uncomfortably laughs.
Speaker 2: I mean, right, what are you supposed to say to me?
Speaker 1: Like her?
Speaker 2: Right? You're like, sir, I don't you've insulted me. You're
Speaker 2: showing me pictures of your kids.
Speaker 1: I don't know, talking about their feet right right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: So she just says like, oh, cute kids and tries
Speaker 1: to move on. Mister stro Strobridge butts in, telling Danny
Speaker 1: you're not being fired. You and Rebecca will be co
Speaker 1: hosting Wake Up San Francisco. Danny is shocked, asking really,
Speaker 1: His boss reassures him, and Danny yells, I'm the new
Speaker 1: host of Wake Up San Francisco. Becky taps him on
Speaker 1: the shoulder and reminds him co host. Danny tells her
Speaker 1: I can live with that.
Speaker 2: Can you imagine getting a surprise job like.
Speaker 1: That, Yeah, especially a new job.
Speaker 2: Someone's like to come in and we're like, we've given
Speaker 2: you a new job.
Speaker 1: Didn't even ask him what he thought about?
Speaker 2: Asked there were no negotiations, There are no what's Danny
Speaker 2: getting pay? Is he getting paid the same to host
Speaker 2: wake Up San Francisco's He wants to do the sportscast.
Speaker 1: This is a completely different time of day. He probably
Speaker 1: has to get at five am.
Speaker 2: Now rule changed. This feels like a lot to just
Speaker 2: spring on a person.
Speaker 1: This is true. I didn't think about that.
Speaker 2: Why Danny's a little upset.
Speaker 1: He's allowed to be a little unhinged here, because this
Speaker 1: is quite the surprise coming from the boss.
Speaker 2: I love if someone was just like, hey, guess what
Speaker 2: you just what I haven't you? You're giving me a job, right? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh so sitcoms Yeah.
Speaker 1: So. Danny thanks his boss and gives him a hug.
Speaker 1: Then he gives Becky a hug, telling her, oh, you'll
Speaker 1: get used to this. I hug everybody.
Speaker 2: Something that would not fly today.
Speaker 1: Keep your hands to yourself.
Speaker 2: Keep yeah, just can you imagine hugging someone at your
Speaker 2: work and going You'll get used to this.
Speaker 1: I hug everybody like, no, you don't, please not me? No.
Speaker 1: Uh so Becky laughs and tells him she likes people
Speaker 1: who hug. Mister Strowbridge excitedly tells them this is just
Speaker 1: what I was hoping for. Chemistry. That's what's gonna take
Speaker 1: us from number three to number one. He pats both
Speaker 1: hosts on the shoulder and knowingly says, San Francisco is
Speaker 1: gonna love the two of you. He tells them that
Speaker 1: they'll be starting Monday, and Danny once again panics.
Speaker 2: Good reason, he's tired. He's got three kids, there's school.
Speaker 1: There's yes, you know, this is a care there's no time,
Speaker 1: no time to adjust to this massive change in his life.
Speaker 1: But Becky assures him that's the best way to do it,
Speaker 1: just jump right in there and have fun. But Danny
Speaker 1: is baffled by what Becky is saying. He tells her
Speaker 1: it's gonna take hours and hours of relentless rehearsal to
Speaker 1: make it look like we're having fun. Becky says, well,
Speaker 1: unless we actually are having fun. Danny is questioning this.
Speaker 1: He says, Rebecca, no offense, but have you ever hosted
Speaker 1: a talk show before?
Speaker 2: She I loved this response.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yes, Becky. Becky shoots back, as
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, I have I am Omaha for
Speaker 1: two years. Mm hmm. Take that, Danny. She asks if
Speaker 1: Danny has ever hosted a talk show before, and he
Speaker 1: pauses and then responds, that's kind of personal.
Speaker 2: I love that moment because so, you know, like for
Speaker 2: the eighties, it was a moment like she was like, actually, yes.
Speaker 1: I have, have you And it was like, I gus, oh,
Speaker 1: he wasn't expecting the question to come back to him.
Speaker 1: It's so funny, great, and I agree they do have
Speaker 1: great chemistry as co hosts. At this point, on I
Speaker 1: was gonna say.
Speaker 2: On a side note, though, I have to say, can
Speaker 2: we talk about the fact that Laurie has an.
Speaker 1: Aged no, like she's in thirty six years, she has not.
Speaker 2: She probably wear those same pants.
Speaker 1: I'm sure she can't. She has the same Becky with
Speaker 1: the great hair like she yeah, like she's always been
Speaker 1: just stunningly beautiful and timeless and uh yeah, she's just fantastic.
Speaker 2: I was like, like, she came on screen and I
Speaker 2: was like, you're the same person. Yeah, she looks great.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this was Jesse. Jesse lucked out. She
Speaker 1: came into their lives.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in more ways than one.
Speaker 1: Because she blows all the others out of the water completely.
Speaker 1: She's a clear winner.
Speaker 2: I mean, seacrews to Becky, come on.
Speaker 1: Come on, come on, not even a competition, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: So in the living room, DJ announces to a group
Speaker 1: of sixth graders that it's party time.
Speaker 2: And DJ, did you recognize some of the sixth graders?
Speaker 1: Yes? Yeah, well that was my everywhere you look moment.
Speaker 1: But we can talk about her now. No, no, no, we
Speaker 1: can talk about it now. Did you recognize any of that?
Speaker 2: I did because one of them was my friend.
Speaker 1: Oh, oh which one?
Speaker 2: Oh you probably the one who was wearing the side
Speaker 2: pony that I walk by and I go love your
Speaker 2: hair and she's like, oh, yeah, that is my friend
Speaker 2: Tory Clive, who I met when I was three years
Speaker 2: old and they have been family friends of ours.
Speaker 1: Still are to this day. But Tory was she was
Speaker 1: a little bit older.
Speaker 2: We met at my dance studio, but she was kind
Speaker 2: of closer to Candas's age. She was like like a
Speaker 2: sister to me sort of in real life. But Tory
Speaker 2: was always coming and doing background stuff for you for
Speaker 2: like DJ and Kimmy sets because she was.
Speaker 1: She was our age six. Get Yeah, I didn't even
Speaker 1: I didn't even notice her in the background.
Speaker 2: Yes. And g Raconus's daughter, our wardrobe lady's daughter, she
Speaker 2: was seen too, Christina, Yeah wow.
Speaker 1: And Candas's cousin Megan or Megan is the blonde that's
Speaker 1: sitting on the coffee table like in the foreground. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So was there anyone in this background that was not related?
Speaker 2: There were other people there too that I was like,
Speaker 2: they look familiar? Were they friends of mine from a
Speaker 2: dance studio too? Like it might like it might have
Speaker 2: been some other people I knew it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just a little benefit of being on a hit
Speaker 1: TV sitcom is you get to invite your friends and
Speaker 1: cousins and daughters to be in the in the show. Yes,
Speaker 1: So Michelle walks into the room. She's holding a bowl
Speaker 1: of pretzels that is almost as big as her Uh.
Speaker 1: DJ walks over, reminding Michelle that she's supposed to be
Speaker 1: in the kitchen. But Michelle drops the bowl and the
Speaker 1: pretzels go flying everywhere, which I felt really bad. It
Speaker 1: seemed organic like this seemed like she really dropped it.
Speaker 1: Like it wasn't scripted. I don't know, didn't know it
Speaker 1: feel like it was scripted. Okay, she just did it
Speaker 1: so naturally. It didn't look like somebody was prompting her
Speaker 1: to drop it. So I was very impressed with.
Speaker 2: Well, toddler's are one thing that they're really great at
Speaker 2: is dropping things and being sure that yeah on the
Speaker 2: ground like don't and you're just like okay, yeah. So
Speaker 2: I have a feeling it was just tapped right into
Speaker 2: her natural abilities.
Speaker 1: Hey, you don't need acting classes to learn how to drops.
Speaker 2: So for a toddler to say no and drop his
Speaker 2: food on the floor, no, it's.
Speaker 1: They were writing to her abilities for sure, yes, So
Speaker 1: she leans down to pick up her mess, but DJ
Speaker 1: assures her that DJ will clean it up. Jesse walks
Speaker 1: into the room to retrieve Michelle, and he starts to
Speaker 1: carry Michelle out of the room when he notices it's
Speaker 1: awfully quiet in here. He asks DJ what's going on?
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be a party, and DJ whispers, they
Speaker 1: think you're cute. The camera pans to the sixth grade girls,
Speaker 1: all given Jesse a small smile and a wave. Jesse
Speaker 1: waves back and makes the comment where were they when
Speaker 1: I was twelve?
Speaker 2: I just wrote down ew stop stop the lean ye born?
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, stop just stop now get.
Speaker 1: Out of there, Yes exactly, not born.
Speaker 2: Bye.
Speaker 1: So Jesse leaves and DJ promises the girls that that
Speaker 1: was the last interruption. The doorbell rings and DJ tells
Speaker 1: everyone to get ready because that's Kimmy. This should be
Speaker 1: your first clue that it's not Kimmy, because Kimmy doesn't
Speaker 1: ring the doorbell, she just walks.
Speaker 2: Right in everywhere.
Speaker 1: I thought that was a dead giveaway, but that's okay.
Speaker 2: Well, but remember, Kimmy knows about the surprise party, so
Speaker 2: she's gonna ask and DJ knows. She knows, so she's
Speaker 2: probably gonna be like, oh, okay, okay.
Speaker 1: So this is kind of planned out, maybe in advance.
Speaker 1: But DJ opens the door and the whole whole group
Speaker 1: yells surprise as Stephanie walks in, wearing with gloves her
Speaker 1: one of those poofy dresses. Oh yeah, matching gloves, your
Speaker 1: little purse, your little patent shoes, like you are dressed
Speaker 1: for a very fancy party. You were like, you ready,
Speaker 1: you could go to church or you could go to.
Speaker 2: Her a garden party.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it did look like you were just missing like
Speaker 1: a fascinator's older.
Speaker 2: But by older, we meant like seventy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and she so Stephanie announces for me, you shouldn't have.
Speaker 1: She is so funny, just leaning into this, so hard
Speaker 1: selling it.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: The DJ glares at her and asks Stephanie, what are
Speaker 1: you doing here? Stephanie's excuse is that she just went
Speaker 1: out to check the mail in your fanciest dress.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Stephanie walks in, sees the pretzels on the floor, and
Speaker 1: goes to pick them up, saying, don't mind if I do.
Speaker 1: DJ grabs her arm and yanks her away, saying, I
Speaker 1: mind if you do. She yells at Stephanie to go upstairs,
Speaker 1: and Steph responds, oh, dear me, I almost forgot. I
Speaker 1: do have a super duper party waiting for me upstairs.
Speaker 2: Apparently I turned into Angela Lansbury or something.
Speaker 1: Like, you're so committed to this character.
Speaker 2: I oh god, I mean I was a kid like
Speaker 2: here act ridiculous. Oh yes, thank you, it was great.
Speaker 1: I was. You're partially British at this point, like, it's
Speaker 1: just hystic.
Speaker 2: I mean my British accent was as good then as
Speaker 2: it was when I came back and did it in Florence.
Speaker 1: Yes, you didn't really improve in those thirty six or
Speaker 1: thirty whatever years, but that's okay. Yeah. As Stephanie makes
Speaker 1: her way upstairs, she passes each girl, complimenting a few
Speaker 1: of them and adding, we must do this again sometime.
Speaker 1: You're just ready for your afternoon tea with the Queen. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: while everyone is distracted by Stephanie, they didn't realize that
Speaker 1: the door was left open, and Kimmy walks in yelling
Speaker 1: surprise to everyone, and everyone groans, realizing that the surprise
Speaker 1: was ruined.
Speaker 2: Wow, Steph blew it twice.
Speaker 1: I know, Steph you're just wow. DJ's you can just
Speaker 1: see that she's fighting me.
Speaker 2: See i'd be pissed him. I'm sorry, I get it.
Speaker 1: Yep. Kimmy keeps overacting, telling everyone a surprise party for me.
Speaker 1: What a surprise. Jimmy introduces her two karate friends to DJ,
Speaker 1: referring to them as the two friends you said I
Speaker 1: could invite Nina and Melissa there in junior high, and
Speaker 1: the sixth graders immediately ooh at this, like this is
Speaker 1: very impressive to be hanging out with junior high girls.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Nina and Melissa walk in, telling DJ,
Speaker 1: we wouldn't miss a party for our new pal Cammy.
Speaker 1: DJ defensively tells them her name's Kimmy. Kimmy turns to DJ,
Speaker 1: telling her they wear lipstick, they can call me whatever
Speaker 1: they want. Kimmy reminded me of this happened in Just
Speaker 1: One of the Guys with Kirk Cameron cousin Steve Right,
Speaker 1: who also called me Cammy, and DJ tried to correct
Speaker 1: him and she's like, no, yeah, I'm Cammy.
Speaker 2: Was your own brother call you Cammy in that letter too?
Speaker 2: Didn't we have this discussion that he wrote the letter?
Speaker 2: And he wrote Cammy, Yeah, or are you actually Cammy
Speaker 2: and you don't know that?
Speaker 1: INSI that's an interesting twist. Her real name is Cammy Gibbler.
Speaker 1: Cammy just forgot that's yeah.
Speaker 2: In true Kimmy form, she finds out in her somewhere
Speaker 2: in her late forties that actually her name is Cammy
Speaker 2: and her her parents forgot to tell her and she
Speaker 2: never paid attention.
Speaker 1: That should have been an episode of Fuller where yeah,
Speaker 1: Kimmy finds her birth certificate.
Speaker 2: And it's Cammy.
Speaker 1: So Nina tells the girls that this party is dead.
Speaker 1: Then she is wrong. She's kind of not. Yeah, they're
Speaker 1: just sitting around getting Then the surprises are getting like
Speaker 1: the kids.
Speaker 2: Do now where they just sit around on their cell
Speaker 2: phones and stare at a screen. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So then Nina asks DJ if her dad is home.
Speaker 1: DJ responds no, and Melissa exclaims, good that is. This
Speaker 1: is a great party house, and DJ smiles and thanks them,
Speaker 1: but Nina adds, much better than the house we trashed
Speaker 1: last weekend.
Speaker 2: Dabe for junior high school.
Speaker 1: I thought that was a little young junior high kids
Speaker 1: trash home. I thought that was more of a high
Speaker 1: school aged saying, not junior high.
Speaker 2: Maybe I mean, it's the eighties, so again they had
Speaker 2: that you know, do you know where your kids are
Speaker 2: at ten pm? Things? So maybe seventh graders were out
Speaker 2: like having raging house parties.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Okay, maybe that was the thing back in.
Speaker 2: It's just the yeah whatever, let him go.
Speaker 1: Why fine coming when the street light comes on and
Speaker 1: otherwise you're fine. Parents don't care where you are. So
Speaker 1: DJ and Gimmy look at each other, wide eyed and nervous,
Speaker 1: and Melissa and Nina find the phone to call greg
Speaker 1: Andy and the Duke.
Speaker 2: J Duke sounds suspiciously old to be hanging out with
Speaker 2: middle schoolers. It's anyone that goes by the Duke. I'm like,
Speaker 2: unless you're yeah, unless you're part of the royal British family.
Speaker 2: Like that feels to me like someone who's like gotten
Speaker 2: held back a few years and is definitely like, not
Speaker 2: a great influence.
Speaker 1: It's somebody who definitely trash a house. Yeah, unless she was.
Speaker 2: Talking about John Wayne, in which case, you know, I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 1: That's an entirely different interpretation went by the Duke.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't think that was it either.
Speaker 1: So DJ quickly walks over to them, saying, Hey, before
Speaker 1: you call any Dukes, do you mind telling me what
Speaker 1: you're doing. Nina tells her not to worry. In an hour,
Speaker 1: they'll have fifty or sixty kids there. Melissa's on the
Speaker 1: phone with Duke when she asks what DJ's address is.
Speaker 1: DJ swoops in and takes the phone from her, telling
Speaker 1: Duke this is a crank call and hangs up immediately.
Speaker 1: Melissa looks at DJ and says, what a dweeb. DJ
Speaker 1: snaps back, telling them this party isn't for you and
Speaker 1: your friends. It's a party for Kimmy and her friends Cammy.
Speaker 1: So Cammy walks over to DJ in embarrassment, telling her DJ,
Speaker 1: you're messing everything up, Cammy. It reiterates the importance of
Speaker 1: them being in junior high, and DJ finally asks her,
Speaker 1: who cares? Which is so true? Like really the bigger
Speaker 1: picture here, Kimmy, Like it doesn't matter that they're in
Speaker 1: junior high.
Speaker 2: H I know, I actually kind of felt bad for
Speaker 2: I was like, Kimmy, stop, like she's Kimmy's usually so
Speaker 2: like into like who she is and being independent and
Speaker 2: kind of whatever.
Speaker 1: And I was like, no, Kimmy, No, Kimmy is very
Speaker 1: you need highly influenced by bad influences. She just wants
Speaker 1: to be part of the cool kids. You're right, this
Speaker 1: is a departure from her character later.
Speaker 2: On, but I mean un all fairness. The one girl
Speaker 2: is wearing a dream of an acid denim Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: acid washed denim outfit with a jacket and a it
Speaker 2: was made. I'm pretty sure that was like in commercials
Speaker 2: for that that board game, like Mall Madness yeah, or
Speaker 2: like yeah yeah, and that was it, so, you know,
Speaker 2: I get it. Kimmy was like, I want to be
Speaker 2: like them.
Speaker 1: I want to be them. Yes, I think this is common.
Speaker 1: A lot of kids go through this, just wanting to
Speaker 1: be a part of the cool crowd until they see
Speaker 1: the light and realize, you know what, cool crowd isn't
Speaker 1: always that cool.
Speaker 2: They're usually not.
Speaker 1: They're usually not. Uh So, Nina announces this is the
Speaker 1: land of the lame. Come on, Kimmy, let's get out
Speaker 1: of here. Kimmy starts to follow the older girls out,
Speaker 1: and DJ calls after her, you can't leave your own
Speaker 1: birthday party, and Kimmy is torn. She looks towards Nina Melissa,
Speaker 1: and then she looks back at DJ, and finally she
Speaker 1: just says emphatically, you can't tell me what to do.
Speaker 1: DJ explains that she's not telling her what to do,
Speaker 1: she's just saying, don't act dumb. Kimmy gets very defensive
Speaker 1: and she says, oh, well, now I'm dumb. Melissa tells
Speaker 1: her if she's she is if she stays here, and
Speaker 1: Nina encourages Kimmy, saying the mall is open until nine o'clock.
Speaker 1: So Kimmy agrees with the girls, telling them let's do it,
Speaker 1: and leaves the surprise party. We fade out on an
Speaker 1: embarrassed and sad DJ and go to a sad commercial
Speaker 1: break like that, I'm sorry, this is a dick move.
Speaker 1: I will own it like this is Kimmy is so
Speaker 1: rude and so mean to DJ who threw her this party.
Speaker 1: Yeah really yeah right, talk about her appreciative. Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jimmy's going through it.
Speaker 1: She's going through it. But if there's no excuse to
Speaker 1: treat your best friend like this like it's.
Speaker 2: No, absolutely not, absolutely not.
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 2: She's she's very selfish, yes, very impressionable, Yeah, and really
Speaker 2: wanting to be cool and yeah, it was it was
Speaker 2: a shame, It was a it was a poor choice,
Speaker 2: but definitely a portrait you were in sixth grade also, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess as an eleven or twelve year old
Speaker 1: whatever we were at this time. That's it's a common
Speaker 1: thing to yeh, have to be face a decision like
Speaker 1: this and then you make the wrong one. But that's okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's the right of passage, you know.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: So we returned from the said commercial break in DJ
Speaker 1: and Stephanie's room, where Stephanie has lined up her stuffed
Speaker 1: animals in rows, telling them there will be no talking
Speaker 1: in class. Steph continues playing teacher, calling out, mister Bear.
Speaker 1: This is it, This is it, dear. The heavens have
Speaker 1: opened up, and here is mister Bear.
Speaker 2: Mister Bear is here.
Speaker 1: Yeah. What took so long for mister Bear to appear?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know why, why it took
Speaker 2: so long to feature him, But you know he's here now,
Speaker 2: and that's here now.
Speaker 1: Yes. Did you have any idea at this moment that
Speaker 1: mister Bear would become such an iconic part of Stephanie's
Speaker 1: story or was this just like a rund think so?
Speaker 2: No, I think it was just a random thing that
Speaker 2: we found and then we I think they just thought
Speaker 2: he was, like, you know, kind of funny and cute
Speaker 2: because he's dressed as Humphrey Bogart from Casablanca. That they
Speaker 2: were like, it's just sort of silly that, you know,
Speaker 2: steph has this bear in a trench coat. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: and yeah, and it just stuck.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad mister Bear has finally joined the full
Speaker 1: House universe here.
Speaker 2: So yeah, like we got we got mister Bear and
Speaker 2: Becky in the same episode.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a huge episode, like a huge episode,
Speaker 1: it really is. This is setting the tone for the
Speaker 1: rest of the series, basically. Yeah. So Stephanie tells mister Bear,
Speaker 1: if it's so funny, why don't you share it with everybody,
Speaker 1: clearly copying something her teacher has said.
Speaker 2: Never had a teacher tell me that before in my life.
Speaker 2: No talking in class.
Speaker 1: Never. Oh sure, sure, Jodie. So the stuffed animals are
Speaker 1: just staring blankly back at Stephanie. When DJ comes huffing
Speaker 1: into the room and Steph asks if she wants to
Speaker 1: play school, DJ plops on her bed and sighs, saying
Speaker 1: she wants to quit school. Stephanie asks is because you
Speaker 1: ate lunch by yourself today, DJ corrects her, I wasn't
Speaker 1: eating by myself. I was eating alone. There's a big difference.
Speaker 1: Steph turns to her stuffed animal students, asking them any
Speaker 1: questions class. Mister Bear seemingly asks the question, which Stephanie lated. Oh,
Speaker 1: he's an a student in my opinion, really is Mister
Speaker 1: Behar wants to know why all the kids in school
Speaker 1: were calling DJ a geek burger. DJ stands up and
Speaker 1: grabs mister Bear, saying he's going to the principal's office,
Speaker 1: and she throws him in the toy chest. And then
Speaker 1: Steph corrects her, that's the cafeteria, because God forbid you
Speaker 1: throw the bear in the wrong room, pretend room. So
Speaker 1: Stephanie continues, I told them you weren't a geek burger,
Speaker 1: then they called me a geek burger junior. How rude.
Speaker 1: This is a double how rude episode. Wow, this is ya.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, just an incredible episode all around two
Speaker 1: how rudes.
Speaker 2: And Becky a mister Bear himmy yeah, in a fabulous
Speaker 2: checkered outfit.
Speaker 1: I mean so much, there's so much happening, So DJ
Speaker 1: tells her it's all Kimmy's fault. She hates my guts
Speaker 1: because I wouldn't let her stupid friends take over the
Speaker 1: party and wreck my house. Now she's turned the whole
Speaker 1: school against me.
Speaker 2: Damn Jimmy, that's cold.
Speaker 1: She's so coold. Kimmy is so awful in this episode,
Speaker 1: so awful. Steph sits down next to DJ, trying to
Speaker 1: comfort her by saying, don't feel bad. I know you're
Speaker 1: not a geek burger. Oh. Steph pushes her arm and
Speaker 1: thanks her, adding and I know you're not a geek
Speaker 1: burger junior. Steph pushes her right back, thanking her as well.
Speaker 1: Steph gets up and says, well, until this blows over,
Speaker 1: I think I'll change my name to Connie Chung. Is
Speaker 1: Stefanie watching Connie Chung at the age of six?
Speaker 2: Yes, I know who she was. She was a news anchor.
Speaker 2: It's just such a you know does I think there
Speaker 2: were several references made to her. I mean she was
Speaker 2: like it was like Connie Chung, Barbara Walters, like they
Speaker 2: were sort of Diane Sawyer. Yeah, he's like there were
Speaker 2: three female news anchors or new you know, that was
Speaker 2: about it, but.
Speaker 1: They were legendary.
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally Yeah, Connie Chung, no one whatever, no.
Speaker 1: Love that Stephanie is a fan of Connie Chung. That
Speaker 1: just makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 2: I mean, she's thinking smart. She's like, how is nobody
Speaker 2: ever going to look for me? And that not nobody
Speaker 2: would look for her.
Speaker 1: She's right. So next we cut to the living room
Speaker 1: where Danny is cleaning the TV with the whole family
Speaker 1: gathered around it. Joey tells me in his anxiety clean
Speaker 1: anxiety clean, Yes, taking out all this really xety.
Speaker 2: This is a case study in some sort of like
Speaker 2: OCD anxiety, like how traumas affect Yeah, anyway, we'll get you.
Speaker 1: Notice he's always anxious right when he before or during clean.
Speaker 2: Right before he's doing something, and it's getting worse, and
Speaker 2: it's you know, it's okay, that's very clean now though
Speaker 2: I can it's much better than it did in the beginning.
Speaker 1: This is true, and I understand because I tend to
Speaker 1: clean too when I'm angry or need to get some
Speaker 1: aggression out. So it's a very effective technique. But Joey
Speaker 1: tells him to stop windex scene they're dying to watch
Speaker 1: his first show. Stephanie reminds him not to play the
Speaker 1: tape until Uncle Jesse gets there. Oh, Danny knew he
Speaker 1: forgot something the tape. Becky interjects, saying she brought it,
Speaker 1: and Danny admires the two of them, saying, what a
Speaker 1: team I forget? And you remember this is that's the
Speaker 1: motto of our team, right, that's the tags, right, what
Speaker 1: a team I forget?
Speaker 2: You remember?
Speaker 1: So Becky walks over to her purse, which is by
Speaker 1: the front door, to grab the tape, and in walks Jesse.
Speaker 1: He sees Becky and immediately says, have mercy. He shakes
Speaker 1: her hand and Becky assumes it's Jesse. Danny's told her
Speaker 1: about him. Jesse smiles and asks, well, what did he say,
Speaker 1: and Becky reiterates he said he had a brother in
Speaker 1: law name Jesse, and she walks away.
Speaker 2: So Betty just put from the very beginning, she's just.
Speaker 1: Like, no, yep, and this is what Jesse needs somebody,
Speaker 1: because she's like bringing him back down, bring him back
Speaker 1: down to her reality.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: So Jesse's offended, telling Danny, well, thanks for the build up, pal,
Speaker 1: and Jesse continues the conversation with Becky asking oh, well
Speaker 1: you must be Rebecca, and she tells him, no, please
Speaker 1: call me Becky. Jesse responds, Becky, I like that, Becky, Becky, Becky.
Speaker 1: He tells her he was gonna go get something to
Speaker 1: drink and asks if she'd likes something. She asks what
Speaker 1: they've got, and he asks what she likes and she responds,
Speaker 1: whatever you have. It's such a weird, like you they're
Speaker 1: flirting in front of the whole family. It's weird flirting.
Speaker 2: It's just I don't even I don't even know that
Speaker 2: she's flirting, though, I think she like the way I
Speaker 2: took it is that he's flirting, and she's just like,
Speaker 2: what do you have?
Speaker 1: Like, just tell me, do you have your wine? Right?
Speaker 2: Water? Juice? I don't know, Like that's kind of how
Speaker 2: I felt about it.
Speaker 1: Yes, she's like get to the point. From the beginning,
Speaker 1: she's just like no, she's very matter of fact.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: And Jesse's trying to drag this out and make this
Speaker 1: a singing and it's yeah, she's not she's not responding.
Speaker 1: So Jesse decides that they should go get drinks together,
Speaker 1: and they exit to the kitchen and they already have
Speaker 1: so much chemistry, like just from this like two minute interaction,
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, Yeah, the chemistry is just popping off
Speaker 1: the screen. There's just two very attractive people and they're already,
Speaker 1: you know, getting along great. I love watching these early
Speaker 1: interactions between.
Speaker 2: I know we come icon that Jesse Becky meet you.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's so great. So Danny looks over at dj
Speaker 1: asking if everything's okay, and she tells him yeah, she's fine.
Speaker 1: She can't wait to watch the show. She's not very convincing,
Speaker 1: but that's okay. We cut to the kitchen where Jesse
Speaker 1: is grabbing some drinks out of the fridge. He asks
Speaker 1: Jesse if she's found an apartment yet. She says she's
Speaker 1: found plenty. The problem is they all have people living inside.
Speaker 1: Jesse laughs as he pours their drinks, telling her I
Speaker 1: find a sense of humor very attractive in a woman.
Speaker 1: Becky tells him this is gonna sound weird, but he
Speaker 1: reminds her of someone. Jesse slyly goes to close the
Speaker 1: kitchen door as he asks who's that. Becky laughs and
Speaker 1: tells him it's silly. You don't want to hear it,
Speaker 1: and Jesse assures her to go ahead. People tell him
Speaker 1: all the time. Then he breaks out in his Elvis's
Speaker 1: voice saying, come on, pretty mamma, lay it on me.
Speaker 1: Becky laughs and admits, you remind me of Kirky. Jesse's confused.
Speaker 1: Quirky Becky tells him that's her little baby brother and
Speaker 1: he used to do that same cute Elvis voice. Jesse
Speaker 1: uncomfortably asks I remind you of your little baby brother,
Speaker 1: and Becky's like, yeah, it's uncanny. She tells Jesse Quirky
Speaker 1: and I would go up to Sutter's pond to catch frogs,
Speaker 1: and he would always say, come on, a little froggy mamma,
Speaker 1: as she tries out a cute Elvi's voice too. She
Speaker 1: did great impression too. Very impressed with her, Jesse says
Speaker 1: Elvis never said that, and Becky laughs and tossles his
Speaker 1: hair as she walks away, saying you really are cute,
Speaker 1: and Jesse says, allowed, we are so far from where
Speaker 1: I want to be, like he's already been friends zone.
Speaker 2: Great. I loved this. I love it, and I forgot
Speaker 2: that this was sort of the dynamic in the beginning
Speaker 2: that Becky was kind of like a yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: She puts him in the brother's zone, not even the
Speaker 1: friend zone, but the brother zone me and my brother. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've been waiting for this is so satisfying. I've been
Speaker 1: waiting for this. After Jesse has dated everyone in the
Speaker 1: greater San Francisco area.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he also though something to think about Rebecca. Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: It continues.
Speaker 2: She goes by Becky, Yeah, Becky, yeah, but Rebecca.
Speaker 1: Rebecca Yep, it's the trend has continued, but she shortens
Speaker 1: it to Becky so, yeah, you're right technically, Rebecca. Goodness.
Speaker 1: So back in the living room, everyone is gathered around
Speaker 1: as Danny reminds them that this is their first show,
Speaker 1: so they were a little nervous. The family urges him
Speaker 1: to just play it, so he does, and the tape starts.
Speaker 1: Danny starts off the show with an awkward ad lib.
Speaker 1: Danny pauses the tape, telling the family he thought that
Speaker 1: joke was pretty good. Everyone politely agrees, and Joey urges, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a great twelve seconds. Is there more? Danny
Speaker 1: resumes the recording, and this time Rebecca ad libs a
Speaker 1: joke that the whole family actually laughs at. Danny doesn't
Speaker 1: like this. Danny pauses the tape and comments, you didn't
Speaker 1: laugh at my joke?
Speaker 2: This again? Was such a Bob moment. I was like, yeah, moment, Wait,
Speaker 2: but didn't you think I was funny?
Speaker 1: Why didn't you laugh at my joke? He's just so
Speaker 1: jealous that people are laughing at his joke.
Speaker 2: I wrote down such a Bob thing. You didn't laugh
Speaker 2: at my joke? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, So Stephanie assures him we were laughing inside.
Speaker 2: And I have also said that to mob heard him,
Speaker 2: yeah yeah, or said something he was like, waited for
Speaker 2: a joke. I remember one time he waited till everybody
Speaker 2: was quiet and then he just said something and it
Speaker 2: didn't get last. And I'm so glad we waited for.
Speaker 1: That or Bob, he was so sensitive, so SENSI ve
Speaker 1: we do. So Danny asks if he should rewind the
Speaker 1: tape so that they can hear his joke again, and
Speaker 1: the whole family is like, no, we don't want to
Speaker 1: see it again. Joey finally just snatches the remote and
Speaker 1: plays the tape, but not long after, cartoons suddenly appear
Speaker 1: on the TV.
Speaker 2: Was it Wildcats? I believe?
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know. Paying attention, we find out that
Speaker 1: Michelle is holding the remote and Danny tells her, hey,
Speaker 1: you just turned off Daddy's new show. In response, Michelle
Speaker 1: sticks out her tongue at him, and before Danny is
Speaker 1: able to switch the channel back, steph and Joey voice
Speaker 1: their desire to keep the cartoons on for a while. Hey,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't blame him. They had to watch
Speaker 1: their cartoons. So up in DJ and Stephanie's room, the
Speaker 1: famous red Lips phone rings. God, I love that thing
Speaker 1: and uh, for whatever reason, Jesse is there and he
Speaker 1: answers it. He calls down to DJ, it's for her.
Speaker 1: Jesse tells her it's Kimmy, and DJ grabs the phone
Speaker 1: and immediately hangs up. Jesse and Joey walk over to
Speaker 1: her as she's sitting on her bed with mister Bear.
Speaker 1: They ask her if something's wrong, and she responds, oh,
Speaker 1: I told that kid a million times to keep her
Speaker 1: junk off my bed, and she throws mister Bear onto Stephanie's.
Speaker 2: Bed, tossing of mister Bear.
Speaker 1: Oh right, She's like, no, you got mister Bear's sacred
Speaker 1: handle with the hair. They ask her if she's pretty bummed,
Speaker 1: and she denies it while twirling a piece of her hair.
Speaker 1: Jesse points out how she always twirls her hair like
Speaker 1: that when she's bummed and so GJ finally admits, well,
Speaker 1: you'd be bummed too if Kimmy got the whole school
Speaker 1: saying you're a geek burger. Joey points out that she
Speaker 1: could have been calling to apologize, and DJ tells them, well,
Speaker 1: she can dial till her fingers fall off. I'm never
Speaker 1: talking to that little trader again. Kimmy deserves this though,
Speaker 1: you know, like this, Kimmy was not nice this episode.
Speaker 1: Jesse assures her that she can't mean that Kimmy is
Speaker 1: her best friend, and DJ corrects him X best friend.
Speaker 1: She gets up and sits on Stephanie's bed. Jesse forces
Speaker 1: joe to go over to her, and he tells DJ,
Speaker 1: I know you're upset with Kimmy, but that doesn't mean
Speaker 1: you throw the whole friendship out the window. DJ responds,
Speaker 1: ex friendship out the X window, and she moves over
Speaker 1: to the little table. And I love how the director's
Speaker 1: using blocking in this scene to kind of he uses
Speaker 1: DJ's agitation to kind of move her from space to
Speaker 1: space to avoid the guys and their questions.
Speaker 2: Well, you know it's sitcommy, You're always like sitcom, like
Speaker 2: the pacing you have to be crossing and moving and
Speaker 2: otherwise it's just a dead shot. And yeah, this but this,
Speaker 2: this episode we talked about, like had just much different
Speaker 2: pacing a little bit slower and like moments breathed a
Speaker 2: little bit more. It didn't feel like it was, you know,
Speaker 2: quite as a sit commie right at the pace, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. It felt like it breathed a
Speaker 2: little bit more. I love it.
Speaker 1: I thought it was great almost. I almost wonder if
Speaker 1: this director was like a single cam director.
Speaker 2: That's what it felt like. It felt like he was
Speaker 2: maybe a soap opera director or a single cam but
Speaker 2: like that more.
Speaker 1: Just the closer ups, the different angles. I like it.
Speaker 1: I'm here for it. Yeah. So Jesse and Joey fight
Speaker 1: over who should go talk to her next, and Joey
Speaker 1: is forced to. He tells her she's so upset because
Speaker 1: the people that hurt you the most are the people
Speaker 1: that you love the most, which is brilliant insight from Joey.
Speaker 2: Yes, the people that can hurt you.
Speaker 1: The people that can hurt you the most are the
Speaker 1: people that you love the most. Yes, that's right, It's
Speaker 1: it's so true. Joey walks over to Jesse, using the
Speaker 1: two of them as an example. Jesse glares at him,
Speaker 1: asking is that the best example? But Jesse's kidding. Joey's right,
Speaker 1: and he has a story to prove that. Jesse tells
Speaker 1: DJ just like last week, Joey taped over my favorite
Speaker 1: Elvis video with Peewee's Playhouse, and then he does some
Speaker 1: voices that I'm not going to try to replicate, but
Speaker 1: he continues. The point is Joey made a mistake, but
Speaker 1: I forgave him. Erasing a friendship is a lot worse
Speaker 1: than erasing a tape. DJ walks over to the phone
Speaker 1: and tells them, well, I still think she's a nerd bomber.
Speaker 2: Joey talks, he's creative insults.
Speaker 1: I love it, Yeah, nerd bomber, geek nerd bomber, Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: Geekberger Junior a Geekburger cheese is coming up. I love it.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Joey talks to DJ next, asking if she remembers her
Speaker 1: beat up, old flat soccer ball that he accidentally threw away.
Speaker 1: DJ remembers it's the ball she scored her first goal with.
Speaker 1: She was so mad at him, but she isn't anymore,
Speaker 1: and Joey explains, if you hadn't forgiven me, we would
Speaker 1: have missed out on all the good times we've had
Speaker 1: between then and now and all the good times we're
Speaker 1: gonna have. DJ understands they're trying to get her to
Speaker 1: give Kimmy another chance. Joey tells her part of having
Speaker 1: a best friend is being a best friend. Let the
Speaker 1: hurt go away, not Kimmy. Like these such great sound
Speaker 1: bites in this scene, I think, too, Yeah, this really
Speaker 1: rings true. I just am amazed at these two uncles
Speaker 1: that didn't know how to diaper a baby a season
Speaker 1: ago are just given this great advice.
Speaker 2: Now, this was such a great scene. It was like so.
Speaker 1: Real, very real, and it definitely gave DJ a lot
Speaker 1: of things to think about. So Stephanie yells up. Steph
Speaker 1: is off screen, but she yells up to DJ, telling
Speaker 1: her Kimmy giblers downstairs. DJ tells Joey that okay, she'll
Speaker 1: go talk to her. Once DJ leaves, Jesse stutters trying
Speaker 1: to commend Joey on his advice. He tells him I'm touched.
Speaker 1: That was really beautiful. Joey pat's him on the shoulder, saying,
Speaker 1: I think we really helped the kid out. Huh, Ozzie
Speaker 1: and Jesse agrees, we sure did. Harriet.
Speaker 2: By the way, for those of you who are like,
Speaker 2: who's Ozzy and I don't remember Ozzy Osbourne being with
Speaker 2: anyone named Harriet, No, it's yeah. Ozzy and Harriet were
Speaker 2: a like nineteen fifties sitcom about like this great little family.
Speaker 1: Life whatever, old school, old school.
Speaker 2: Style, nothing to do with Ozzy Osbourne.
Speaker 1: Right, thank goodness. We cut to the living room where
Speaker 1: Kimmy is waiting for DJ, and this is one of
Speaker 1: those cool shots that you mentioned.
Speaker 2: Yes, were we're like, Kimmy's sitting here and she's in
Speaker 2: the foreground like and then DJ's kind of soft focused
Speaker 2: in the back. And it was a very single cam
Speaker 2: type of shot. Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 1: I liked it, and it kind of highlighted my hair,
Speaker 1: which I loved, which was in like this banana clib.
Speaker 2: It looked so cute. Iaho so great the checkers the
Speaker 2: like bigger ones on top of the small yeahs oh
Speaker 2: fashion forward, Kimmy.
Speaker 1: I felt great in this episode.
Speaker 2: Loved my hair, and you did a fantastic performance.
Speaker 1: Oh well, we're let's we'll get to that because I
Speaker 1: don't I don't necessarily agree. So DJ and Kimmy coldly
Speaker 1: say hi to one another, and DJ encourages her to
Speaker 1: go ahead and apologize. Kimmy questions apologize. DJ assumed that
Speaker 1: that's the reason why she came here, but DJ says, no,
Speaker 1: she's there because her mom told her to go over
Speaker 1: and get her presence. Ooh oh my, what a burn wow.
Speaker 1: Like she just keeps getting ruder and rude. You know what,
Speaker 1: I can see missus Gibbler giving this advice to her daughter. Yes,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter that her her daughter's been a total dick.
Speaker 1: Just go over there and get your presence. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: DJ asks, but if you don't apologize, how can I
Speaker 1: forgive you? Kimmy asks forgive me for what getting kicked
Speaker 1: out of my own party. DJ argues, I didn't kick
Speaker 1: you out, you left. Kimmy shoots back, because you embarrassed
Speaker 1: me in front of Nina and Melissa. DJ finally asks,
Speaker 1: what's wrong with you? I can't believe you'd rather be
Speaker 1: friends with girls who really aren't your friends than friends
Speaker 1: with a friend who already was your friend. Kimmy tells her,
Speaker 1: I don't know what you just said, but same to you.
Speaker 1: Geek berger, DJ says, don't call me that, Kimmy gobbler.
Speaker 1: Kimmy calls her a double geek burger with cheese, which
Speaker 1: is the ultimate insult ultimate in nineteen eighty eight, and
Speaker 1: DJ tells her she hates her. Kimmy says she hates
Speaker 1: DJ two and tells her to mail me my presence.
Speaker 1: So this like, I can believe they use the H
Speaker 1: word that they actually said I hate you to the
Speaker 1: other person. This is getting very ugly, very fast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but also very very typical sixth grade girl best friend.
Speaker 1: Yes, yep, everything is of uber importance and they fight.
Speaker 2: And it's the worst thing ever, and it's all right.
Speaker 1: Yep, so dramatic, so so much drama. So Kimmy starts
Speaker 1: to storm out, but before she makes it to the
Speaker 1: front door, DJ tells her to wait. And there's definitely
Speaker 1: like a tonal shift here, also marked by the beginning
Speaker 1: of the violins. DJ asks, how could you call me
Speaker 1: all those names? In school? Tells her I wasn't the
Speaker 1: only one everyone was calling you, well, you know the
Speaker 1: G word. DJ reminds her, you're supposed to be my friend,
Speaker 1: and Kimmy corrects her best friend DJ smiles and agrees.
Speaker 1: Best friend DJ goes on to ask, well, if we
Speaker 1: don't make up, how are we going to share lockers
Speaker 1: and junior high. Kimmy adds on, we won't get to
Speaker 1: go to college together, and DJ says we won't be
Speaker 1: able to marry identical twins and be Congress women. Kimmy nods,
Speaker 1: we got to make up or our lives will be ruined.
Speaker 1: They should have brought this back in Fuller House. We
Speaker 1: weren't Congress. We weren't, you know, marrying identical twins. So
Speaker 1: we really got off track there in Fuller House. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Kimmy tells her she really is sorry. She admits I'm
Speaker 1: sorry I brought those dumb junior high girls to the party.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I left with them. I'm sorry they dumped
Speaker 1: me when they met those two cute guys at the mall.
Speaker 1: And I'm really sorry I told everybody you're a geek burger.
Speaker 1: I'm the geek burger. DJ smiles and tells her, don't
Speaker 1: say that about my best friend. The girl's hug the
Speaker 1: audience OWZ, Yes, such a great this is such a
Speaker 1: great moment, and DJ reminds her that she never opened
Speaker 1: her birthday present. DJ runs and grabs a big rainbow
Speaker 1: box with purple bows and hands it to Kimmy, telling
Speaker 1: her happy birthday. Kimmy opens it and pulls out a
Speaker 1: purple hat, saying this is like only the ratdest hat
Speaker 1: in the entire universe.
Speaker 2: It's got sequence on it, got blazing purple.
Speaker 1: Yeah, is a lot. Kimmy loves it. Kimmy is so
Speaker 1: here for it.
Speaker 2: It's all eighties, yeah, time.
Speaker 1: All eighties. So Kimmy puts it on and DJ comments,
Speaker 1: well it should be. It costs a fortune, which I
Speaker 1: guess if DJ's spending her own money from her own allowance. Yes,
Speaker 1: that costs a fortune. Kimmy asks, well, what do you
Speaker 1: want to do now? DJ suggests they open up all
Speaker 1: of her birthday presents and then go to the mall
Speaker 1: and exchange them. Argues, but I might like them, and
Speaker 1: DJ a sure, hurt, No, you won't believe me. I
Speaker 1: already opened them, and they continue opening presents and that
Speaker 1: is our show. Oh my goodness. This last scene was
Speaker 1: so hard for me to watch though, because I could see,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I could see how hard I was
Speaker 1: concentrating and I don't and I could feel my stress,
Speaker 1: And I don't know if I was stressed about remembering
Speaker 1: my lines or trying to hit these emotional beats that
Speaker 1: were all you know, Kimmy doesn't usually get emotional beats.
Speaker 1: It's all like what Zinger after Zinger after Zinger and
Speaker 1: so but I could see myself concentrating so hard. And
Speaker 1: I don't know if I loved my pacne whish I
Speaker 1: had done it differently. I mean, here we are thirty
Speaker 1: six years later critiquing this, but yeah, I felt like
Speaker 1: this was early on in my journey as a serious actor,
Speaker 1: and so.
Speaker 2: See, I thought it actually was great. Really, I thought, yeah,
Speaker 2: I thought you actually did a really good job of them.
Speaker 1: Well thanks. I maybe I'm being over critical of myself,
Speaker 1: but I definitely was cringing as I was watching it.
Speaker 2: No, I was not at all. I actually I wrote down, like,
Speaker 2: such a great scene. I thought you guys did a
Speaker 2: really good job together. And I thought like it was
Speaker 2: a you know, a real journey of Kimmy being like
Speaker 2: upset and this and that and then you know the apology,
Speaker 2: and you just really saw a lot of their relationship
Speaker 2: in it. So I thought you did great.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I do I do think that Candice and
Speaker 1: I had great chemistry and believable that we had been
Speaker 1: best friends for a long time. It was believable that
Speaker 1: they were both hurt for different reasons. I am wondering, though,
Speaker 1: did you think do you think DJ forgave Kimmy a
Speaker 1: little too quickly? Like shouldn't Kimy? You have had to
Speaker 1: work a little bit.
Speaker 2: I was like, like the part where she's like, basically
Speaker 2: Kimmy was calling her the name too, She's like, well,
Speaker 2: everybody was doing it. Then suddenly she's like, yeah, but
Speaker 2: I'm your best friend. I was like, Kimmy, yeah, I
Speaker 2: were just you had to earn it a little bit more.
Speaker 1: I agree.
Speaker 2: We also were getting to the end of the show
Speaker 2: and we had to wrap it up.
Speaker 1: We were at twenty two minutes and we need to wrap.
Speaker 2: We don't have sign for this anymore. Yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 2: no I did. It felt a little bit quick, but
Speaker 2: all you know, that's usually the resolution in a sitcom. Yeah, like, wait, wow,
Speaker 2: that was a that was quick. That was quick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. But I think by the end, DJ
Speaker 1: and Kimmy's friendship was ultimately strengthened by this yes fight,
Speaker 1: you know, and this is not the last time we
Speaker 1: fight over Kimmy's birthday part Like, there's more birthday parties
Speaker 1: to come.
Speaker 2: More birthdays, but it's always a birthday.
Speaker 1: It's always a birthday, always a birthday. And I don't
Speaker 1: even know Kimmy's birth date, Like people have asked me
Speaker 1: before and I'm like, I don't know what. I've never
Speaker 1: actually known what, well any of the characters birthdays?
Speaker 2: Okay, this this episode aired when in October, in October
Speaker 2: of October twenty First.
Speaker 1: Let me go back up. Yeah that sounds right, was it.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say Kimmy is maybe born. I could, I
Speaker 2: could see Kimmy is inn October October.
Speaker 1: Baby. I don't know what sign that is, but uh yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: maybe September, maybe September. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Is Kimmy a virgo? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't think she's organized enough to be a virgo.
Speaker 2: It's true she's well, but she's party planning. How many
Speaker 2: birthday parties did you pull together in the backyard in
Speaker 2: ten minutes?
Speaker 1: You're right, the ten minute I could do.
Speaker 2: Nobody could do.
Speaker 1: Finding a cow, a full cow for the kitchen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kimmy, Yeah, she's killing it.
Speaker 1: So maybe she has a virgo. Okay, I'll try.
Speaker 2: That, but yeah, when is Kimmy's birthday?
Speaker 1: Is?
Speaker 2: What is all of our birthday?
Speaker 1: You know what?
Speaker 2: I'm sure somebody out there knows if you know when
Speaker 2: any of the Full House characters not us in real
Speaker 2: life obviously, but when, like if there's ever a mention
Speaker 2: of specific birthdays of the characters, like whether it's a
Speaker 2: month or an actual day or anything. We'd love to
Speaker 2: know because I don't know if there I don't remember.
Speaker 1: If there was, yeah, I don't know, or not part
Speaker 1: of the cannon of Full House, but yeah, I have
Speaker 1: no idea there is.
Speaker 2: If it is, we'd love to hear. And if not,
Speaker 2: we'd love to hear. What you think and what what
Speaker 2: sign do you think that all of the characters are there?
Speaker 1: We go dive right there.
Speaker 2: Yes, and let us not make sure you guys, and
Speaker 2: we have.
Speaker 1: Everywhere you looks we gotta do everywhere you look? Do
Speaker 1: you have if you have some, if you don't have them,
Speaker 1: I've got a couple.
Speaker 2: I do actually, and my one everywhere you look. It
Speaker 2: was a bit of a personal moment, but it was
Speaker 2: also something so my everywhere you look is in the
Speaker 2: very beg I think the beginning scene, Michelle is sitting
Speaker 2: in her high chair and she has a Rainbow Bright
Speaker 2: oh in front of her.
Speaker 1: I did see that. That's so cool.
Speaker 2: I was a huge Rainbow Bright fan as a kid,
Speaker 2: had Rainbow Bright birthday parties like it was. I loved
Speaker 2: Rainbow Bright. And usually on shows like you have to
Speaker 2: pay licensing fees and whatever all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: So I have a feeling that was like whatever little
Speaker 2: snack cup maybe that Ashley and Mary Kate had, and
Speaker 2: they just like said it on the thing and didn't
Speaker 2: switch it over into something else because they're like whatever,
Speaker 2: it's a little plastic, not like in a bad way,
Speaker 2: like they just were like, that's just Michelle's thing, because
Speaker 2: it's something you don't often see the usually up the Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's usually creaked or something.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: So but anyway, Rainbow Bright was in there and I
Speaker 2: was thrilled. I was like, oh my god, Rainbow Bright.
Speaker 2: But that was my that was my everywhere you look, Oh,
Speaker 2: I like that along with friends in the in the
Speaker 2: in the party scene.
Speaker 1: That's so great. I'm gonna go back and watch that
Speaker 1: party scene just to see everybody else that I missed.
Speaker 1: It's so funny.
Speaker 2: Did you have an everywhere you look? I do.
Speaker 1: I have a couple. One is in DJ's room. Did
Speaker 1: you notice all the horses, Like there's horse figurines suddenly, Yes,
Speaker 1: it's exploded horse figurines, horse posters, like horse decorations on
Speaker 1: the wall. Yes, and we have an episode coming up.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, well, it's because there's an episode
Speaker 2: coming up where DJ's into horses. So probably when they
Speaker 2: were planning out the season of episodes, they were like, oh,
Speaker 2: we need to make her into a horse girl a
Speaker 2: little bit sooner, and we made her into a Stacey
Speaker 2: Q fan, right, we need to put the horses with
Speaker 2: this one, right.
Speaker 1: Yes, Hey, that's very forward thinking. They were thinking several
Speaker 1: episodes in advance, which is which is exactly groundbreaking for them.
Speaker 1: That's so funny. And the only other one it's sort
Speaker 1: of an everywhere you look. But when Kimmy is opening
Speaker 1: her present from DJ, the lovely purple hat, right, the
Speaker 1: gift is prop wrapped. You know, they wrap gifts differently
Speaker 1: on TV than you do in real life. So you
Speaker 1: wrap the top of the of the box, right, you
Speaker 1: separate from the bottom of the box right right, so
Speaker 1: the actor can open it easier and for the paper
Speaker 1: and yeah, yeah, So it cracks me up every time
Speaker 1: I see this in TV or movies when an actor right,
Speaker 1: because it's so much effort to actually wrap a box
Speaker 1: that way, when you wrap.
Speaker 2: The lid and perfectly tuck it and tape it and
Speaker 2: then you do the bottom part and then it's like
Speaker 2: the thing you take it up. Yeah, yeah, way too
Speaker 2: much effort. But no, no, for TV. I am a
Speaker 2: gift bag kind of gal.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you that's what we need was gift
Speaker 1: bags back then.
Speaker 2: Gift bags. Yeah, well, I mean she spent so much
Speaker 2: money on that hat, she obviously had to really put
Speaker 2: some effort into wrapping it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. Got to present it as a You
Speaker 1: can't feel that hat.
Speaker 2: You can't just throw it in a bag. It's purple,
Speaker 2: it's sequined.
Speaker 1: It's all about the presentation of the purple sequence, is true.
Speaker 1: That's all I got for every Happy Birthday, Kimmy, thank
Speaker 1: you whenever it is, thank you, whatever it is, whatever
Speaker 1: your birthday is, Happy birthday, Kimmy Gibler or shall I
