Speaker 1: Campaign phone calls for the Wisconsin race. Oh nice last
Speaker 1: week this past week, and we're sitting in like a
Speaker 1: room upstairs and making phone calls and there's it's like
Speaker 1: a glass room, you know what I mean, It's like
Speaker 1: somebody's like little loft area. So it sounds just bouncing
Speaker 1: off and I'm like, my auditory processing ADHD is just
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Sometimes when that happens, I just get louder. But I
Speaker 1: don't realize that I'm getting louder.
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, oh gosh.
Speaker 1: So I was loud, but this this older woman kept
Speaker 1: turning me going could you keep it down?
Speaker 2: Could you keep it down? No? No, no, no no.
Speaker 1: But directly next to her, like touching show with her,
Speaker 1: was this German woman who was lovely but really.
Speaker 2: Loud setting next to her.
Speaker 1: I'm at the other side of the room, and she's like,
Speaker 1: can you keep it down?
Speaker 2: And I'm just thinking, like, I think it's the lady
Speaker 2: next to you. It's not mean you're getting the blame.
Speaker 1: For talking loud because she's talking loud, like, you know, anyway,
Speaker 1: keep escalating it.
Speaker 2: She I Meanwhile, the older.
Speaker 1: Lady's just like I hate this girl, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: like the new one and it's just and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I think it's the.
Speaker 2: German no, yeah, oh wow. And then and then I
Speaker 2: let it annoy me. And then I let it annoy.
Speaker 1: Me for like a good hour, and I'm apparently still
Speaker 1: letting it annoy me.
Speaker 2: It's still I feel like you still need to unpack
Speaker 2: this a little bit more before you lest.
Speaker 1: It's because I didn't, because I desperately wanted to be like, Oh,
Speaker 1: you're not going to say anything to her, You're only
Speaker 1: going to say and I was like, you took it
Speaker 1: personally right, Well, it's just I was like.
Speaker 2: How are you not turning to her?
Speaker 1: Because you know her, so you're not gonna say anything,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know and you but I'm the new one,
Speaker 1: so you're like, hey, you keep it down.
Speaker 2: I'm like, why don't you?
Speaker 1: It's a pecking yeah right, definitely was, and I was
Speaker 1: I was down low on the on the pecking order.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to work your way up, Jody. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 2: oh a few more times for sure. And that's fine,
Speaker 2: and I will.
Speaker 1: But I I think it was more the part of
Speaker 1: me that is that's like, this isn't fair, wait, that
Speaker 1: wants to say something that I and so now I'm
Speaker 1: just glad I'm getting it off my chest.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm glad you got to you know, cleanse
Speaker 3: yourself and get it off your chest.

Speaker 1: plus not a million dollars. And the candidate that uh
Speaker 1: I was triving, you know, making calls for one so nice.
Speaker 3: That's a win win right there. That's a good make
Speaker 3: sure what you say, do you have a script you

Speaker 3: end is cranky, it doesn't want to listen to you,
Speaker 3: like tell.
Speaker 2: Me, you know what I will say.

Speaker 1: was like, get me off those I was like, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: and I get that, like I you.

Speaker 1: But yeah, there is a script where like you basically
Speaker 1: use your phone and you you call into this thing
Speaker 1: and it pops up with the person's name, and then
Speaker 1: you sort of go through things and it helps you
Speaker 1: keep track of like where you are and the you know,
Speaker 1: like maybe wrong person, answer machine, okay, refuse, you know whatever,
Speaker 1: and you like click on it and then it takes
Speaker 1: you sort of to the next set things. Yeah, that's

Speaker 2: Yes, they're still on it.
Speaker 3: I forgot to put them on this morning. But yeah,
Speaker 3: they're huge. They're getting their little pin feathers, which really
Speaker 3: creep me out. I didn't realize that maybe I have
Speaker 3: that disorder where you're creeped out by lot lots of
Speaker 3: like little groupings of small holes and things. Wood are,
Speaker 3: pin feathers, pin feathers are.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, I'm sorry, I'm not as up to date
Speaker 1: on my bald eagle lego as you forget. I get. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when we were talking the giraffe, you were like, here's what,
Speaker 1: by the way, what that means. It's a zoological term.
Speaker 1: I was like, thank you very much, appreciate it.
Speaker 3: The pin feathers are it's their very first feathers. But
Speaker 3: when they come out, it kind of looks like the
Speaker 3: end of a shoelace with that little plastic thing. Yeah,
Speaker 3: because it looks like little shoelaces coming out, and then
Speaker 3: the feathers kind of come out of there.
Speaker 2: So when they.
Speaker 1: Because I mean, you got to think you couldn't really
Speaker 1: stick a feather out.
Speaker 2: Of this skate.
Speaker 1: It's got to be it has to like immert impact
Speaker 1: and right, right. So, but because it's the beginning stage.
Speaker 3: They look like Edward Scissorhands with their with their wings right,
Speaker 3: with all these pin feathers, but no actual feathers yet.
Speaker 1: It's just I feel like I'm gonna need to look
Speaker 1: at this though, It's like I can't. I can't look at.
Speaker 3: It for very long, but I can't look away either.
Speaker 2: It's weird, man. I mean, it's.
Speaker 3: Beautiful, it's nature, it's fascinating, but I can't look at
Speaker 3: it for too long or I get really creeped out.
Speaker 2: Huh, well, there goes your chance of ever adopting a
Speaker 2: bald eagle.
Speaker 3: So well, anyways, there's your other animals. Now, what are
Speaker 3: the names? What are the elementary school kids up in
Speaker 3: Big Bear? They voted and so the names. The older
Speaker 3: ones name is Sonny, okay, cute, and the younger one's
Speaker 3: name is Gizmo.
Speaker 2: So it's sunny and Gizmo. Isn't that so cute?
Speaker 1: I was gonna go Sonny and chair, but I feel
Speaker 1: like that actually wouldn't be what elementary school kids would pick,
Speaker 1: so they would have no idea of that reference, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Sonny and Gizmo.
Speaker 2: I like it, Gizmo so cute?
Speaker 1: Ye are Sonny and Gizmo still like pecking at each other.
Speaker 3: It's calmed down. They've matured out of that phase. I
Speaker 3: mean there's still a little bit of bonking, but it's well,
Speaker 3: not nearly as dangerous as it was, okay go where
Speaker 3: they were trying to kill each other to got it.
Speaker 2: They wanted all the food.
Speaker 3: It's survival of the fittest.
Speaker 1: So right, I mean, those pin feathers aren't gonna emerge themselves,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: You gotta have nutrition. Yeah, and they could use that
Speaker 2: as a weapon, like slappy.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to look at this now because it
Speaker 1: sounds weirdly fascinating.
Speaker 2: It's one of those like zip popping videos where you're like, wait,
Speaker 2: oh my god, I gotta watch. Yes, it's just like that.
Speaker 3: It's just like, ah, what, yeah, it's it creeps me out,
Speaker 3: and I'm usually not creeped out by stuff like that.
Speaker 3: So I'm creeped out that I'm creeped out.
Speaker 2: I'll sound layered and like something you need to work through.
Speaker 2: We both need some therapies today. Meet for the statement
Speaker 2: that's an understatement.

Speaker 1: know I was slightly too young.
Speaker 2: I was. I was just a little too young for

Speaker 3: Next, we finally have these uncredited people from last week.
Speaker 3: We have Cynthia Steele and Mike A. Rowe who were
Speaker 3: erroneously credited last week on Old Brown Eyes and.
Speaker 2: We couldn't find them. We're like, who are these people? Now?
Speaker 2: Hold on? I have no I have a question though.
Speaker 2: Is it is it Erronesley? Is that how you say
Speaker 2: the word? Is that?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 3: I What did I say? Erroanessy erroneously? Erroneously?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, I.
Speaker 1: Don't it's erroneously because something is erroneous, which means irrelevant, erroneously.
Speaker 3: What did I say, Ernest, Ernest tomato tomato?
Speaker 2: It could be that's why I was asking.
Speaker 1: I was like, I've never and I trust you because
Speaker 1: you are a word smith. And so I was like, wait,
Speaker 1: maybe I've been saying I just it was a silly
Speaker 1: thing that I just had to add.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm saying it wrong.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but this is this is basically it's
Speaker 3: an error erroneously erroneously erroneously sounds like orogenously, and that
Speaker 3: that's not what I'm trying to convey.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you don't want something to be erroneously erogenous,
Speaker 1: because that's weird.
Speaker 2: You know. This is basically what you're saying is the two.
Speaker 1: Uncredited people last week that we were like, oh, missus
Speaker 1: Claire in the classmate, and then then now.
Speaker 2: This week they actually pop up. Okay, this week they
Speaker 2: actually pop up.
Speaker 1: So last week, forget about them. They're not going to
Speaker 1: just yeah they're not there.
Speaker 3: Now they're here this week. Cynthia Steele plays the teacher
Speaker 3: missus Claire. She appeared in Jag, Married with Children, Quantum Leap,
Speaker 3: Murphy Brown, and Night Court.
Speaker 2: And then we have.
Speaker 3: Micah Rowe as a little redheaded classmates. Oh yeah, he
Speaker 3: appeared in Coach Beverly Hills nine O two, one oer
Speaker 3: and Room for two.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he was He was cute. I wish we
Speaker 2: had him back, but no, if he's.
Speaker 3: Back, he'll be uncredited anyways, right right, we start in
Speaker 3: the bathroom. I think for the teaser, is this the
Speaker 3: normal hallway bathroom because the sink looks like it's on
Speaker 3: the other side of the door.
Speaker 2: It's got like, but we've remodeled.
Speaker 3: Have we remodeled, Like is this Danny's bathroom?
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know why this now.
Speaker 1: This is supposed to be the hallway bathroom, but because
Speaker 1: we've shown it in a couple episodes, uh, flooding and
Speaker 1: all of that kind of stuff. And the sink was
Speaker 1: up against the other wall. It was against the wall.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 1: When you lost Danny's wedding and rost Danny's ring and
Speaker 1: the water coming out, the sink was up there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they had to move it to the other Yeah. Interesting, Okay,
Speaker 3: well that actually makes sense. They should have put a
Speaker 3: throwaway line in there.
Speaker 2: Because then I remodeled the bathroom.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we remodeled the bathroom after the girls lost the
Speaker 3: wedding ring, because then I would have bothered me the
Speaker 3: whole teaser. I couldn't stop thinking about it.
Speaker 1: I I can't believe I didn't even notice it.
Speaker 2: Usually right, I was like, it's usually.
Speaker 3: Your thing is you've noticed the one thing that's wrong,
Speaker 3: and no idea you'll off today. A little tired braking
Speaker 3: on me too, sister, me too. So Michelle's brushing her
Speaker 3: teeth again.
Speaker 1: She's unsupervised.
Speaker 3: She's reciting up and down and up and down as
Speaker 3: she moves the toothbrush accordingly. After about fifteen seconds of brushing,
Speaker 3: she shouts, with a mouthful of bluetoothpaste, Daddy, I'm ready.
Speaker 3: She takes a sip of water and Danny picks her up.
Speaker 3: Annie leans her over the sink to spit out the water.
Speaker 3: She looks at her dad in the mirror with a
Speaker 3: big grin and says, thank you very much, and Danny
Speaker 3: nods in response.
Speaker 2: Just doing my job.
Speaker 3: If you were doing your job, you would have been
Speaker 3: in there with her the whole time she was.
Speaker 2: If you were doing your job, you just get the
Speaker 2: kid a stepstool.
Speaker 1: She's old enough to brush her own teeth and she
Speaker 1: needs a step stool.
Speaker 3: She really needs a stepstool like that. Nobody's got timed.
Speaker 1: But you know what, a kid on a stepsool is
Speaker 1: not a very entertaining teaser.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not true. It doesn't really do much.
Speaker 3: Yeah this and this was short and sweet and cute
Speaker 3: and ye okay, that's.
Speaker 2: All we that's all we thought you were talking about. Michelle.
Speaker 2: She is. She's short and sweet and cute.
Speaker 3: So it is a teaser. So I'm satisfied with this.
Speaker 3: Now that you've explained the bathroom problem, I can let
Speaker 3: this go.
Speaker 5: You met Michelle Lally in the hit Bravo show The Valley.
Speaker 5: You met me literally during the most difficult chapter in
Speaker 5: my life. Now it's time for you to meet the
Speaker 5: real me, Michelle Sennie. Yes, I change my name, and
Speaker 5: I want you to follow me on my journey to
Speaker 5: the pursuit of sassiness. So much has happened to me before, during,
Speaker 5: and after the show. Before you can really understand the
Speaker 5: eight weeks that you saw on TV. I think you
Speaker 5: have to know what was going on from the very beginning,
Speaker 5: from being raised by two immigrant parents, paying my own
Speaker 5: way through college and working at Hooters to starting my
Speaker 5: own real estate empire, getting married, having a baby during COVID,
Speaker 5: to that very same marriage falling apart on national TV,
Speaker 5: to losing my mom, to eventually finding love again. There
Speaker 5: is so much to unpack and share. I'm on the
Speaker 5: pursuit of happiness and most importantly, I'm on the pursuit
Speaker 5: of sassiness. Listen to Pursuit of Sasiness starting on March
Speaker 5: seventeenth on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you
Speaker 5: get your podcasts.
Speaker 3: Next, in Michelle's room, Michelle is trying to play with
Speaker 3: a yo yo, but once it unravels to the ground,
Speaker 3: she can't.
Speaker 2: Figure out how to get it back up.
Speaker 3: She tells the toy up you go, I'm waiting, and
Speaker 3: when it doesn't move on its own, she tries various
Speaker 3: moves to get it back up to no avail. Then
Speaker 3: DJ walks in, wearing her signature mustard yellow the shirt
Speaker 3: and matching socks.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she scrunched. Were they scrunch socks too?
Speaker 3: Yes, sucks too like little loafers. Yeah that was a look, man,
Speaker 3: it was so nineties. DJ says, how you doing, and
Speaker 3: Michelle frowns. This yo yo is broken. DJ gives her
Speaker 3: some better news. Since I opened my own savings account,
Speaker 3: I want you to have my old piggy bank. Michelle
Speaker 3: beams thank you very much, but when the piggy bank
Speaker 3: is handed to her, she shakes it and realizes it's empty.
Speaker 3: She questions, where's the money? DJ explains, you have to
Speaker 3: earn it yourself. You can check the couch cushions or
Speaker 3: find someone who's a soft touch, look real cute, and
Speaker 3: say please feed my piggy. Michelle recites the plea back
Speaker 3: to DJ, and she replies.
Speaker 2: Boy, you picked that up real fast.
Speaker 3: DJ grabs a coin out of her pocket and places
Speaker 3: a quarter in the piggy bank. Michelle happily shakes the
Speaker 3: piggy bank and the coin rattles inside, and she declares, ooh,
Speaker 3: I like that sound.
Speaker 6: You know she's there shadowing, say, Now I have Michelle
Speaker 6: earning her own money like this, She's gonna be fully independent.
Speaker 1: At the time she's she's like, I don't need any
Speaker 1: of you people, well, other than to spit into the sink,
Speaker 1: because no one will buy me a step stool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: as soon as she gets the height on her like,
Speaker 1: she'll be fine.
Speaker 2: She doesn't any of them yep mm.
Speaker 3: So next we are in the living room. Danny and
Speaker 3: Joey are playing an intense game of chess, hardly saying
Speaker 3: a word to each other in the process. Finally, Danny
Speaker 3: makes a groundbreaking move, but Joey follows behind with an
Speaker 3: even better one.
Speaker 2: That's when Steph walks through the door.
Speaker 3: And how cute are you in this red and black
Speaker 3: sweater with the dog on it?
Speaker 2: The little Scotti do. Yeah, it was like a little
Speaker 2: red dot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, your little Scotti era is back.
Speaker 2: It's back. Yeah, horrible but still holding on strong. Still
Speaker 2: was it a Scotty? I can't remember. I know it
Speaker 2: was a red dog and like kind of like Scotti adjacent,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, since it was, it did give me. Yes, it
Speaker 3: did remind me of your Scott Scotty era.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm pretty sure I also had a matching uh.
Speaker 3: Scrunchy that's mandatory. Yeah, absolutely so cute. Danny asks her
Speaker 3: how school was, and she shrugs, just another day in
Speaker 3: third grade. Then she hands a slip of paper from
Speaker 3: her teacher to Danny. She tells him, you don't have
Speaker 3: to read it, just sign it a few times. If
Speaker 3: your my kids do that all the time.
Speaker 1: I would be thrilled if they brought it home, or
Speaker 1: or if it made its way out of the black
Speaker 1: pit that is the backpack.
Speaker 2: I'm woo in there and.
Speaker 1: I'll be like, dude, we gotta clean this out, and
Speaker 1: we start. I'm like, there's permission slip so that you
Speaker 1: know we're texted in a panic.
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't have the permission. You had it the
Speaker 2: whole time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I'd be I'd love to just be
Speaker 1: handed something to sign.
Speaker 3: Your expectations are very low, very low, So Danny laughed,
Speaker 3: but his face gets serious once he reads through the letter.
Speaker 3: He tells his daughter it says here that you're having
Speaker 3: trouble reading and you need to have your eyes examined.
Speaker 3: Stephanie forces a laugh and asks, isn't that silly, and
Speaker 3: Joey chimes in. If it's so silly, let's see you
Speaker 3: read that note. Steph does as she's told, but when
Speaker 3: she reads it, she has to lean in very close
Speaker 3: to see the words, which her teacher states in the note.
Speaker 2: So she's suddenly lost her eyesight.
Speaker 1: Yes overnight, Yes, overnight, right, because I'm like, she wasn't
Speaker 1: holding the note weird When Rusty passed it around.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was just a few episodes ago.
Speaker 2: She read that, no problem. Yeah, this is.
Speaker 1: A this is a A couldn't be a possibly a
Speaker 1: more serious disorder, but.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this it came on suddenly. It's an acute stigmatism
Speaker 3: or what you know, a.
Speaker 1: Cute astigmatism, A cute astigmatism. It's like the erroneous erogenis.
Speaker 2: Yeah, did I be funny?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that The best part this is when you laugh,
Speaker 1: you go silent.
Speaker 2: So what do Yeah, and I just see you laughing,
Speaker 2: but you're quietly laughing. Oh, I don't know why.
Speaker 3: It's not quiet on my end. Maybe it's beuting on
Speaker 3: my I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I can hear myself yet.
Speaker 2: Well that's good.
Speaker 3: That's a Pleasure's what counts. So Danny tells Steph they
Speaker 3: need to get her eyes checked, but she protests, what
Speaker 3: if they tell me I need glasses, I'm gonna look
Speaker 3: like a geek. Danny offers her a sympathetic smile. You
Speaker 3: are not going to look like a geek. But if
Speaker 3: you don't take care of this now, your eyesight could
Speaker 3: get worse seriously and quickly.
Speaker 2: Like oh yeah. In twelve hours.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Stephanie sighs and defeat. All those years eating carrots,
Speaker 3: what a waste. Then Michelle walks into the room holding
Speaker 3: her new piggy bank. She goes up to Joey and
Speaker 3: innocently asks, please feed my piggy. Joey happily gives her
Speaker 3: a few pennies in return, but Michelle isn't satisfied. She
Speaker 3: tells him, my piggy is very hungry.
Speaker 2: You got any.
Speaker 3: Quarters, Joey, Gritton's go talk to your dad. She walks
Speaker 3: over to Danny and he pulls her in, showering her
Speaker 3: with kisses instead of money. But she doesn't seem to mind.
Speaker 3: She'll just go steal his walla later they won't notice,
Speaker 3: Like right.
Speaker 2: There's nobody will know.
Speaker 3: They stayed in the room with her last time she
Speaker 3: came into the living room, all the adults made excuses
Speaker 3: to leave the room. So as we say, didn't like
Speaker 3: high tail it out of the house.
Speaker 2: They were like, oh, avoid the toddler. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So in the kitchen, Jesse and Becky are going over
Speaker 3: the very last details of their wedding. Becky asks her
Speaker 3: fiance the final question, should the waiters at the reception
Speaker 3: wear white gloves and Jesse, who's.
Speaker 1: Wearing multiple shades of denim. I didn't just he did
Speaker 1: that last time too. He was very into the Canadian tuxedo, very.
Speaker 3: It's giving, like Britney spears justin timberlay.
Speaker 2: A full denim look. Yeah, yeah, it's amazing. It's such
Speaker 2: a look. I love it.
Speaker 3: So Jesse thinks for a moment, and he asks who's
Speaker 3: paying again. Becky responds, my parents, and Jesse has his answer,
Speaker 3: go for the white gloves. Then he proudly states that
Speaker 3: they're done. They've made every minuscule decision about this wedding
Speaker 3: and it's finally over. Then he shall tell helllujah. But
Speaker 3: Becky begs to differ. She reminds Jesse there is one
Speaker 3: more minuscule decision he's been putting off since the engagement.
Speaker 3: Who's going to be his best man? Danny or Joey.
Speaker 3: Jesse admits he has been avoiding this, but he promises
Speaker 3: Becky that the next time they're all together, he'll pick
Speaker 3: a best man and that'll be it. Becky nods great,
Speaker 3: and then she shouts for Danny and Joey to come
Speaker 3: into the kitchen. Jesse argues with her, are you crazy
Speaker 3: embarrassing me like this, I don't know which one and
Speaker 3: the two guys walk in and Jesse cuts himself off.
Speaker 3: Danny asks what's going on. Becky defers to Jesse. He
Speaker 3: nervously explains, now that we're all together, there's something important
Speaker 3: I want to talk about. We're going with the white gloves.
Speaker 3: They all nod with confusion, but Danny says, we're very
Speaker 3: happy for the both of you, and Becky decides to
Speaker 3: butt in. We plan the whole wedding except for one
Speaker 3: little detail. She lets Jesse take the reins again, and
Speaker 3: he nervously says, uh, I have to pick a best man.
Speaker 3: The guys give him a big smile in response, and
Speaker 3: Jesse gets flustered again. He tells Becky he can't do this.
Speaker 3: He doesn't want to hurt anybody's feelings, but Danny assures
Speaker 3: him it's no big deal. Joey agrees whatever they decide
Speaker 3: is fine by them. They're all mature adults. Jesse works
Speaker 3: up the courage and announces I picked Joey. Joey can't
Speaker 3: contain his excitement. He pumps his fists and says, yes,
Speaker 3: I get to be the best man. Danny glares at
Speaker 3: him as he's celebrating, and.
Speaker 2: Joey abruptly stops.
Speaker 1: He tries to play it cool and says to Jesse, Oh,
Speaker 1: if that's what you want, it's.
Speaker 2: Cool with me.
Speaker 3: This seems like the wrong choice. I mean, aside from yeah, he.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I was like, the best man
Speaker 1: has to do some things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, hold onto.
Speaker 1: The ring on the speech and you know there's stuff
Speaker 1: we got it. And it feels like Jesse would think
Speaker 1: that Joey couldn't handle those things.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, he already didn't get the ring engraved. He
Speaker 3: lost it in the cookie jar or whatever last week.
Speaker 2: Yeah he's not. He's not the most responsible adult. And
Speaker 2: they don't. They don't have as much history as Jesse
Speaker 2: and Danny their ringers.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you guys just met when like we all
Speaker 1: moved in kind of Well no, no, because now remember
Speaker 1: we go back to elementary school and.
Speaker 3: They that's true, they knew each other in elementary school.
Speaker 1: But the cannon of full house is ify at best
Speaker 1: because I feel like they sort of met each other, well,
Speaker 1: they knew.
Speaker 2: Of each other, they were never close.
Speaker 3: It wasn't like Danny and Joey, who are best friends, right,
Speaker 3: you know it was.
Speaker 1: I guesses younger than to Okay, anyway, sorry for the
Speaker 1: side tangent, but.
Speaker 2: No, I agree.
Speaker 3: I agree, I I think this is a weird choice.
Speaker 1: He either needs to choose Danny or both of them,
Speaker 1: but choosing just Joey that's.
Speaker 2: That's yeah, I should be off the table.
Speaker 3: So Danny gives Joey a handshake and congratulates him. He
Speaker 3: plasters a fake smile onto his face as he walks away,
Speaker 3: not making eye contact with.
Speaker 2: Jesse or Becky.
Speaker 3: Jesse approaches him and says, I'd like you to be
Speaker 3: my head usher. Danny tries to pretend like he's excited
Speaker 3: at this news, but it's not too convincing, so Becky
Speaker 3: tries to add some encouragement. Well, if for any reason
Speaker 3: Joey is unable to perform his duties as best man,
Speaker 3: or he does anything to disgrace his position, the head
Speaker 3: usher steps.
Speaker 2: Up and assumes the crown.
Speaker 3: Danny, disappointedly responds, if needed, I'm ready to serve. Jesse
Speaker 3: pats him on the shoulder and thanks him for taking
Speaker 3: this so well. Danny tries to make light of the situation. Hey,
Speaker 3: I could still win the swimsuit competition, which is not
Speaker 3: a funny joke.
Speaker 1: But okay, that's it's just it could we can't do
Speaker 1: that because.
Speaker 3: Also I was so distracted by their bad cardigans, like
Speaker 3: Bob and Dave are wearing terrible cardigans.
Speaker 2: Joey's shirt is.
Speaker 1: John doesn't even John has like a sweater vest. It's
Speaker 1: like a it's like someone it's like a giant argyle
Speaker 1: sock that someone turned into a vest.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and with denim sleeves. Yeah, it's it's really just
Speaker 3: it's all bad.
Speaker 2: Wait, maybe he's not in that vest yet. Is he
Speaker 2: in the vest?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just like an argyle vest. So maybe he's
Speaker 3: got a denim.
Speaker 2: Shirt under it. In the mill, he has like a
Speaker 2: vest and a white T shirt.
Speaker 3: I think, oh, maybe that's the next scene. But he
Speaker 3: was in that all denim looks, so maybe I'm thinking
Speaker 3: of that den denim on denim on DENI denim. Later on,
Speaker 3: in the living room, Danny is singing an extra sad
Speaker 3: version of Tom Dooley. Yes, he's strummled his guitar. Jesse
Speaker 3: appears on the stairs and watches his friend with worry.
Speaker 3: He interrupts Danny's singing sash and asks, this happy little
Speaker 3: hanging tune wouldn't have anything to do with me picking
Speaker 3: Joey as my best man, would it.
Speaker 2: Danny shakes his head.
Speaker 3: Not at all.
Speaker 2: When you think about.
Speaker 3: Best man or head usher, there's really not much of
Speaker 3: a difference. The best man gets to stand next to
Speaker 3: the groom, give him a ring, make the toast, basically
Speaker 3: be the star of the wedding. The audience laughs, a
Speaker 3: little skills, a little petty. Oh, Danny's so petty.
Speaker 2: He's any author and he's so petty. Yeah, Danny's pretty petty.
Speaker 2: I'm kind of here for petty.
Speaker 1: Danny like, I just like it, right, Look, I always
Speaker 1: have all the time in the world to be petty.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well it's giving like just hints of Bob too,
Speaker 3: because he would get friend, Oh my god, never hear
Speaker 3: the end of it.
Speaker 2: Never never, Why don't you like me? Why? What's wrong? Right?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: What did I do? Like just for you? Forever?
Speaker 3: For years that would go on. He would let things go,
Speaker 3: So Danny continues the comparison. The head usher gets to say,
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Those seats are for the family. Jesse asks,
Speaker 3: he's trying to make him feel bad because it's working
Speaker 3: Danny and says he'd never do that to him. Then
Speaker 3: he does his own rendition of Sweet Chariot, where he
Speaker 3: sings and then acts as head usher for the wedding.
Speaker 3: Thank God, DJ and her friend Julie interrupt the scene
Speaker 3: and come back through the doors. DJ tells her dad
Speaker 3: they need help, and Julie explains, it's my cousin, Steve.
Speaker 3: He's in town for the big science fair and he
Speaker 3: won't quit bugging us. DJ explains Julie and I are
Speaker 3: trying to write an article for the school paper, but
Speaker 3: her cousin is kind of a She looks to Julie
Speaker 3: for the right word, and Julie suggests pain in the butt.
Speaker 3: Then there is a distinctive knock at the door and
Speaker 3: Julie tells the family that that is Steve. DJ frantically
Speaker 3: tells her dad you never saw us, and if he
Speaker 3: asks where we are, we were never here and we're
Speaker 3: never coming back. The girls quickly run away and Jesse
Speaker 3: goes to open the door. He asks Danny how annoying
Speaker 3: could one kid be? An? On cue?
Speaker 2: Steve Verkle enters the house. He's donna perfect setup is
Speaker 2: so great?
Speaker 3: Uh, Steve shouts honey, I'm home, and the audience goes wild.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sure this was yeah, this was.
Speaker 3: This was the hyperle Verklemania. Like he had dolls, he
Speaker 3: had books, he had like everything.
Speaker 1: This was.
Speaker 2: He was very big at the time.
Speaker 3: So finally the clapping subsides, and Steve introduces himself to Jesse.
Speaker 3: Steve Verkle at your service. Jesse gives him an apprehensive
Speaker 3: look before explaining DJ and Julie we're never here and
Speaker 3: they're never coming back. But Steve is unfazed. That's okay,
Speaker 3: I'll wait. He walks over to Danny and notices the guitar.
Speaker 3: He excitedly asks, do you have a spare accordion?
Speaker 1: We can jam.
Speaker 3: Danny jokes that his accordion is in the shop, and then.
Speaker 1: He tears have to have an accordion with all the
Speaker 1: other crack that they just magically seem to have. Someone
Speaker 1: somewhere there's you know what, there's an accordion in Joey's room.
Speaker 2: I think, oh, I think I could be imagining it,
Speaker 2: but well there should be if there's not. But yeah,
Speaker 2: they have somewhere on a there's a there's an accordion.
Speaker 3: That Jesse routinely sets up the entire band in the
Speaker 3: living room. There's like those with all of the tambourines
Speaker 3: the drums, like, yeah, there's got to be an accordion
Speaker 3: somewhere in that house.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because obviously if you have a tambourine, you
Speaker 1: have an accordion, Like you can't have one without the other.
Speaker 2: No, god, no, no, what would you do?
Speaker 3: So Danny introduces himself to Steve, shakes his hand, and
Speaker 3: proceeds to introduce Jesse as well, and then he tells
Speaker 3: Steve that Joey isn't there.
Speaker 2: He explains that Joey.
Speaker 3: Is Jesse's best man and he's just the head usher.
Speaker 3: Erkle notes, Geez, Danny, you sound a little bitter. May
Speaker 3: I suggest that you just suck it up and get
Speaker 3: on with your life. Jesse agrees with him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got a point. He's not wrong, right, No,
Speaker 2: he's not. He's like, hey, how about you be an adult? Right?
Speaker 2: If I mean, really, if we're going maturity wise, Jesse
Speaker 2: should have picked Michelle to be his best man.
Speaker 1: I'm actually surprised that that wasn't a storyline, honestly, honestly, yes,
Speaker 1: So Steve announces.
Speaker 3: Boy, I'm hungry, got any cheese. He starts to walk
Speaker 3: towards the kitchen, but Danny quickly stops him. He explains, Uh,
Speaker 3: you can't go in there because we're out of cheese.
Speaker 3: Arkle responds, no problem. Oh, I'll just pour a glass
Speaker 3: of milk and wait for it to curdle. Jesse runs
Speaker 3: after him and stands in front of the kitchen door
Speaker 3: so he can't enter. He tries distract an Arkle. I
Speaker 3: can't help, but notice that you walk like you still
Speaker 3: have the hangar in your shirt, which is kind of
Speaker 3: the perfect description about yeah, it's yeah with his yeah,
Speaker 3: his his shoulders are up to his ears, and you
Speaker 3: know it's a stiff little it's hysterical. This whole bit
Speaker 3: is so hysterical.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 3: Steve thanks him for the compliment, and then Jesse admits,
Speaker 3: I'd like to help you because, quite frankly, you need help.
Speaker 3: Jesse explains that he needs to let loose and be
Speaker 3: cool when he walks. Erkle copies Jesse's movements and he
Speaker 3: sure is given it his all. Then Jesse shows off
Speaker 3: his cool strut and Erkle admits it's very inspiring. He
Speaker 3: takes a crack at this strutting, and his moves are
Speaker 3: even more awkward than before.
Speaker 2: I literally laughed out loud at this. This was hilarious.
Speaker 3: This is Julia White, and.
Speaker 1: You know what, I could not stop thinking this this
Speaker 1: whole episode, but particularly in this scene.
Speaker 2: I was like, man, he just went for it. He committed.
Speaker 1: He's just committed to being as weird and as nerdy
Speaker 1: and silly as possible. And his physical comedy was brilliant
Speaker 1: and his timing was amazing. Yeah, And I was like,
Speaker 1: I mean he was what ar how old.
Speaker 2: Were you guys? Fourteen? Fourteen? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was just can you imagine me fifteen and acting.
Speaker 1: Like well, I mean I don't know you to a
Speaker 1: certain degree, I can relate to this, but yeah, like
Speaker 1: just knows he's not self conscious at all.
Speaker 3: He just yeah, one hundred and ten percent, Yeah, gives it.
Speaker 2: It was all it was. This little strut was really funny.
Speaker 3: Oh it was a little like like his fit embodies
Speaker 3: this weird party.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he really does. It's so perfect.
Speaker 3: So Jesse tells him, well, that's close enough, and Erkle
Speaker 3: admits that was a walk on the wild side, and
Speaker 3: then he decides to teach Jesse a thing or two,
Speaker 3: suggesting that he try the strut with his elbows out,
Speaker 3: as it's much better for circulation. Jesse tries the Erkle
Speaker 3: walk and admits that the blood is flowing nicely, but
Speaker 3: then he stops himself and shouts, what am I doing?
Speaker 2: And John and.
Speaker 3: Julie recently recreated this bit on John thet Graham Yeah,
Speaker 3: two weeks ago, but yeah they were. They were recreating
Speaker 3: the Jesse streut, the cool shrut, and so it was
Speaker 3: really really funny.
Speaker 2: Got into it.
Speaker 3: So Steve pivots the conversation and suggests another way to
Speaker 3: kill time telling their life stories.
Speaker 2: He'll go first.
Speaker 3: Steve begins to tell them his birth story in a
Speaker 3: great detail, and that's when Danny and Jesse realize they've
Speaker 3: had enough. They grab Urkele by the shoulders and tell
Speaker 3: him the girls are in the kitchen, and he happily
Speaker 3: says good day, gentlemen and goes into the other room.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine just walking into someone's house like that
Speaker 1: and being like, by i'll see you later, like and
Speaker 1: just heading into another room.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't phaze us. You guys are like, this
Speaker 2: sidekicks from this town. It's from Chicago.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's just making himself at home, you know. So
Speaker 3: we hear Rkle call out to the girls and they
Speaker 3: both in horror, but Danny and Jesse don't bother to intervene.
Speaker 3: Then Joey and Steph walk through the door. Joey announces
Speaker 3: guess who got some new glasses, and Stephanie adds guess
Speaker 3: who never wants to wear them. Danny assures Stephanie she
Speaker 3: probably looks cute in them, but she could not disagree more,
Speaker 3: saying she actually looks like a dweb. Jesse tries to
Speaker 3: make her feel better by pulling out his own pair
Speaker 3: of readers and putting them on. He asks Steph if
Speaker 3: he looks like a total dweb, and she admits, well,
Speaker 3: not totally. Danny encourages her to put on her glasses
Speaker 3: so they can see. She reluctantly puts on the circular
Speaker 3: frames and keeps them on for one second before taking
Speaker 3: them off again.
Speaker 2: What in the whares waldo were these glasses? This was
Speaker 2: a terrible choice, did they?
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess they didn't have fashionable this was
Speaker 3: you know, in the nineteen ninety one, but yeah, but
Speaker 3: they didn't.
Speaker 1: Those were Yeah, this is duck face bad. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: not even Harry on the same glass.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they were. That's see. Yeah, thick, round
Speaker 2: tortoise shell thing.
Speaker 1: I guess that's the thing though, right is you got
Speaker 1: to make it obnoxious enough that Steph would be embarrassed
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3: If they were cute glasses, that wouldn't propel the storyline.
Speaker 3: You know, the steaks wouldn't be as high, right, So yeah,
Speaker 3: those were particularly I mean, you looked adorable in them,
Speaker 3: but those they were bad glasses, savory they I look like,
Speaker 3: where's Waldo?
Speaker 2: Where's he?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 1: Give me a red and white striped shirt and hide
Speaker 1: me in a crowd, you know, like that that's it.
Speaker 1: And to be fair, around this time, I did love
Speaker 1: Where's Waldo? So maybe that was my inspiration. Maybe I
Speaker 1: was like, can we get the roundest glasses possible?
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, there we go. It was inspired an inspired choice.
Speaker 3: So Stephanie quickly states, there you saw, and Danny insays
Speaker 3: that she looked sharp. Jesse agrees, saying she looks very sophisticated,
Speaker 3: and Joey reminds her that that's what he's been saying
Speaker 3: since they left the eye do Steph runs up the
Speaker 3: stairs and sighs, thanks, but I know you're just being
Speaker 3: nice because you're my family. She walks away and the
Speaker 3: crowd awes. The guys turned to each other and looked defeated,
Speaker 3: and then Jesse can't help but wonder if he looks
Speaker 3: like a dweeb in his glasses. Jolly and Danny shake
Speaker 3: their heads and say no in unison, and Jesse sighs,
Speaker 3: you're just being nice because.
Speaker 2: You're my family.
Speaker 3: A great scene. There was a lot packed into this scene.
Speaker 1: There was Jeffanie walks in with glasses, rkles here, there's
Speaker 1: a strut competition, we got bobbling guitar. Yeah, there's packed
Speaker 1: a lot happening, and like every cast member practically is
Speaker 1: in this scene. It's yeah, there's a world DJ and
Speaker 1: her friend running in. Yeah, because yeah.
Speaker 2: It was a lot happening in this scene.
Speaker 1: The scene was like I'd say, like thirty five percent
Speaker 1: of the entire show easily.
Speaker 3: Yes, poor Joel zick Zwick who had to direct this, right, Oh,
Speaker 3: that must have been a hard scene to all we needed.
Speaker 2: Next was the dog. Oh, yeah, where's the dog. We
Speaker 2: haven't seen the dog in a while.
Speaker 1: He's with Michelle, he's clean, in the house. Yeah, yeah, yea,
Speaker 1: they're fine. I mean they might be eating things that
Speaker 1: they shouldn't be, but it's okay.
Speaker 2: They're brushing their teeth in the bathroom. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, she's standing on top of the dog since snowbody
Speaker 1: her step stools, she has to actually crawl on top
Speaker 1: of commet in order to get these things done because
Speaker 1: no one's paying attention.
Speaker 3: She's very practical, you know, she's doing what she has
Speaker 3: to to survive.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Hey, they're folks.

Speaker 3: So up in the girls room, Stephanie walks in. I
Speaker 3: love that you're wearing like your Sunday best to go
Speaker 3: to the eye doctor. You're wearing like this pink floral dress.
Speaker 1: That's when she's like, I look like a total dweve.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, honey, it's not the glasses. Like
Speaker 1: it took like a like a doily from my mother's house,
Speaker 1: tucked it into my neck.
Speaker 2: It was giving lots of doily.
Speaker 3: It was didn't feel Steph like, no, it didn't. And
Speaker 3: in the next scene or in the classroom scene, you're
Speaker 3: still You're still dressed really nice. It's you need the
Speaker 3: Scottie dogs. You need the Scotti dogs, the matching s
Speaker 3: Frenchy like, yeah, that's the cool stuff.
Speaker 2: Look with this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this was a little to Laura Ashley for me,
Speaker 1: way too Laura Ashley for Stephanie Tanner.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 3: So Steph spots Comet sitting on DJ's bed.
Speaker 2: Oh there's the dog there. She takes a seat next to.
Speaker 3: Him and asks, what do you think of my new glasses?
Speaker 3: I know you'll be honest. She puts them on and
Speaker 3: smiles at him, but the dog immediately turns away from her,
Speaker 3: and Stephanie looks disappointed.
Speaker 2: I knew it.
Speaker 3: I'm the biggest geek in third grade. She keeps her
Speaker 3: glasses on and takes a look at herself in the mirror,
Speaker 3: but her reflection is a distorted image of her, and
Speaker 3: the frames on her glasses look much larger than they
Speaker 3: actually are, which.
Speaker 2: Is hard to do because they're giant to beget with giant.
Speaker 3: Now, this was like literally objects in mirror are larger
Speaker 3: than they appear.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, yeah, they were great. They were plenty big. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was that the fish eye lens again, Like, how
Speaker 1: did they do? Yeah, fish eye, which we saw I think.
Speaker 2: In so it makes like it just distorts everything from
Speaker 2: like the center out. Oh oh yeah, okay, very cool.
Speaker 3: Not nearly as scary as the last time they used it,
Speaker 3: when everybody was like it was all of the adults,
Speaker 3: you know, Michelle, that was horrifying.
Speaker 2: This was tame by comparison.
Speaker 3: Stephanie gasp at the sight of herself and quickly takes
Speaker 3: off the glasses. She sits back on the bed, overcome
Speaker 3: with grief.
Speaker 1: Overcome with grief. She's tragic. She's taking it heart. Yeah
Speaker 1: she doesn't, you know, she's self conscious.
Speaker 3: I understand it. This is this is something the kids
Speaker 3: go through. So there's a sad commercial break, and when
Speaker 3: we come back, we're back in the girls room. It's
Speaker 3: a little later on. Julie and DJ come running in
Speaker 3: and frantically search the room. Julie declares, I think we
Speaker 3: lost him. DJ begins to shut the door and Steve
Speaker 3: appears from behind it, asking lost too. DJ matter of
Speaker 3: factly states, oh, just some pesky kid that keeps following
Speaker 3: us around. Steve admits some people just don't know when
Speaker 3: they're not wanted. This kid's confidence.
Speaker 1: Hiding in someone's bedroom in a house that he doesn't
Speaker 1: know the people. If it wasn't rkle, right, if it
Speaker 1: wasn't hurting, well, you can put it to different music
Speaker 1: again and it would be like just if you lip sync,
Speaker 1: it'd be like, actually erkele attacks.
Speaker 3: The call is coming from inside the house, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3: So Michelle enters the room, still holding her piggy bank.
Speaker 3: She greets DJ and then Julie and then turns to
Speaker 3: Steve and says, hi, kid, I don't know. DJ introduces
Speaker 3: Steve to Michelle and he tells the youngster it's a
Speaker 3: pleasure to meet you, Michelle, and she asks why do
Speaker 3: you talk like Mickey Mouse. Steve responds, that's because I'm
Speaker 3: from Chicago. Michelle cheerfully asks want to feed my piggy,
Speaker 3: and he happily reaches into his pocket and puts a
Speaker 3: penny in the bank. Then he decides to lend her
Speaker 3: some facts. Did you know that, with prevailing interest rates
Speaker 3: that penny will be worth worth almost three cents at
Speaker 3: the turn of the century? Michelle nods yes, I did.
Speaker 2: Of course she does. She she's been reading the Wall
Speaker 2: Street Journal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, She's like, dumg, I'm my knowledge, right, yeah, I
Speaker 3: know knowledge interest rates.
Speaker 2: Please.
Speaker 3: Stephanie walks into the room and DJ introduces her to
Speaker 3: Steve and he gives her a warm hello. Stephanie gives
Speaker 3: him a faint smile. Nice to meet you, Steve. I
Speaker 3: don't mean to be rude, but I don't really feel
Speaker 3: like company right now.
Speaker 2: DJ asks if everything is okay, and Stuff tells her
Speaker 2: she just feels like being alone.
Speaker 3: Steve gathers up all of the girls and pushes them
Speaker 3: out the door so they can give Stephanie some privacy.
Speaker 3: He even jokes, let's make like Tom and cruise. But
Speaker 3: after he pushes the last of the girls out, he
Speaker 3: stays in the room with steph obviously not getting the hint.
Speaker 2: Again he's just shut the door and locked himself in
Speaker 2: the room.
Speaker 1: With right, Yeah, and that's what I'm saying like I
Speaker 1: just if you look at it, you're like that's odd,
Speaker 1: you know, like, yeah, rcle only Urkle could get Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's obviously we're just being silly and it's harmless, but
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 2: I mean, you're like this kid just walked in to
Speaker 2: these people's house.
Speaker 1: Yeah, around doors and like walking running a girl the
Speaker 1: girls room. Yeah, it's I'd be a little more Yeah,
Speaker 1: i'd be a little concerned. You girls are hiding from him,
Speaker 1: Like what is this get up to?
Speaker 2: You know, let's start of a dateline episode. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 2: it is. That's what happens.
Speaker 3: So Steve walks back over to Stephanie and asks why
Speaker 3: so melancholic? Maybe Steph looks at him in disbelief. I
Speaker 3: can't tell you my problems. I don't even know you, yes, exactly,
Speaker 3: like Stephanie's telling it like it is.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you ro Why are you in my room?
Speaker 1: Like I said, I don't want company, and you kicked
Speaker 1: my family out and now you're here.
Speaker 3: She's Stuff just tells it like it is, you know,
Speaker 3: And I'm proud of Stuff for speaking up and stating
Speaker 3: her needs like I used to meet alone. Like let's
Speaker 3: celebrate this. Let's celebrate putting ourselves first and verbalizing what.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had that the other day. She got the
Speaker 2: car and she was like, I just had a really
Speaker 2: rough day, Like I just I don't want to talk.
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, that's great, you communicate it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's no Yeah, you didn't just get in the car
Speaker 1: and move bad mood.
Speaker 2: You're like, hey, I'm in a bad bit. I don't
Speaker 2: feel like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, great, everyone's allowed to be in a bad mood
Speaker 3: and have some alone time.
Speaker 2: Right as long as none of Steve Verkle's in your house.
Speaker 2: You know, he won't let that let that happen.
Speaker 3: So Steve decides that this is the perfect time to
Speaker 3: tell her his whole life story, starting with the moment
Speaker 3: he was born. Stephanie finally cuts him off, telling him fine,
Speaker 3: she'll talk. She explains, I just got my first pair
Speaker 3: of glasses. Steve excitedly replied, ah, well, welcome to the club.
Speaker 3: You know, some people look far more attractive with glasses
Speaker 3: than without.
Speaker 2: Take me for example.
Speaker 3: He stands up and removes his glasses, proudly stating, as
Speaker 3: good as I look now, and then he puts his
Speaker 3: glasses back on and boasts, See how much studlier I become.
Speaker 2: His face during this was hilarious. He's every little molecule of.
Speaker 1: His face right, looks very much like you, Kimmy, like
Speaker 1: your your facial expressions and your body language and like everything.
Speaker 2: Like you're just so in it. It's it's it just
Speaker 2: takes over. It just takes over.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you would say that to me. You're just like, oh,
Speaker 3: there's the kid. You're doing the Kimmy, the Kimmy look,
Speaker 3: you know what I Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's yeah, like a like a bird that's sort of
Speaker 2: at attention. Yeah, yeah, totally so.
Speaker 3: Steph sarcastically responds, truly amazing. But if I wear these
Speaker 3: to school and she puts her new glasses on, all
Speaker 3: the kids are going to tease me. Erkele lends his
Speaker 3: two cents. Oh sure, in a class of thirty, you
Speaker 3: may have fifteen or twenty misguided souls that say hey
Speaker 3: four eyes or yo Coke bottles or heypasa window face.
Speaker 2: But that won't bother you, will it.
Speaker 3: Stephanie takes off her glasses and wonders window face. Steve
Speaker 3: carries along. The trick is to make them laugh with
Speaker 3: you before they laugh at you, and he's talking very
Speaker 3: close to you. I don't know if that's like a
Speaker 3: character choice.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was like again, I was like, why is he
Speaker 2: so close to me?
Speaker 3: Is is that a thing with Erkele that he doesn't understand,
Speaker 3: like like body space and giving people like an appropriate
Speaker 3: amount of personal body.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I guess mea. It must be a
Speaker 2: character trait or it was. It had to be a choice.
Speaker 1: It's like Julia's yeah, because he's always like he's annoying,
Speaker 1: so therefore he's just in your space when you don't
Speaker 1: want it to be.
Speaker 2: I guess yeah, no, it was. I was like, gotta
Speaker 2: get very close, sit on the other listen at the table.
Speaker 2: He sits on your bed. I know you. It's very funny. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So Steve concludes his inspirational speech with always remember to
Speaker 3: hold your head up high, or else those suckers will
Speaker 3: slide off your nose. He points to his glasses and
Speaker 3: laughs at his own funny comment, and Stuff simply nods
Speaker 3: and gives him a fake smile in.
Speaker 2: Return, And that's it. Can I leave my room now?
Speaker 2: Can I go? Yes?
Speaker 3: Well then and then we don't see him again. This
Speaker 3: is his only I thought he'd be in more of
Speaker 3: the episode. But these are his only two scenes. He's
Speaker 3: in two scenes.
Speaker 2: That's it. He doesn't come back.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so I thought, oh, that's a that's a well.
Speaker 2: Maybe because Family Matters.
Speaker 1: Taped on Friday, I was gonna sit, they probably pre
Speaker 1: tape his two scenes and that was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so I'm thinking, and Julia had to
Speaker 3: do Yeah, I had to do double time that week,
Speaker 3: so yeah, put him in two scents.
Speaker 2: That's enough.
Speaker 3: You don't want too much rcle you know, that's well, Yeah,
Speaker 3: a little bit goes a long way, absolutely.
Speaker 5: So.
Speaker 3: Next in the kitchen, Danny is doing the dishes when
Speaker 3: Jesse walks in. He's carrying a bucket of cleaning supplies
Speaker 3: and suggests, why don't you and I spend some quality
Speaker 3: time together. Huh, let's go out and clean some grout,
Speaker 3: shall we. Danny gives him a half hearted smile. I
Speaker 3: know you're just being nice to me because you didn't
Speaker 3: make me your best man, and Jesse admits he's right.
Speaker 3: In fact, he doesn't even know what grout is. He
Speaker 3: changes the topic and tells Danny this has been bugging
Speaker 3: me all night. I think I made the wrong choice.
Speaker 3: So he decides to call Joey upstairs, despite Danny's efforts
Speaker 3: to stop him, because he wants to take care of
Speaker 3: this right now. Once Joey is upstairs, Jesse breaks the news.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, but I think I may have made a
Speaker 3: mistake what I picked you for best man. Joey begins
Speaker 3: to beg if I did anything to disgrace my position,
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Just please don't make me head usher. Jesse laughs,
Speaker 3: before asking the guys to let him finish. He continues,
Speaker 3: I don't think I should have picked just you. I mean,
Speaker 3: I have two best friends, so I pick both of you.
Speaker 1: Yet again, Jesse just takes a long time coming around
Speaker 1: to a pretty simple idea.
Speaker 3: He eventually gets there, but gets there, and I mean,
Speaker 3: I know that this is the best storyline, but they
Speaker 3: didn't even show how he got. Like there wasn't a
Speaker 3: scene or something where he comes to a realization or whatever,
Speaker 3: like this just all happened off screen. He suddenly decided, Hey,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna make them both my best you know, isn't
Speaker 3: there usually Yeah, well, I.
Speaker 2: Think he saw how pathetic Danny was being.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's the guilt, Tren. I can't live in
Speaker 1: a house like this yeah, the Tom Dooley song. Yeah, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: it's the swing loose.
Speaker 2: Yeah. He was like, I can't, I can't maintain this.
Speaker 3: So Joey argues that he can't have two best man's.
Speaker 3: Danny nods in a agreement. It's breaking tradition and it's
Speaker 3: bad grammar. Jesse wonders when he's ever cared about breaking tradition.
Speaker 3: He's the guy who didn't wear that cardboard hat at
Speaker 3: graduation because he was afraid of ruining his cough.
Speaker 1: This is another having seen John's actual hair from his
Speaker 1: high school like senior photo.
Speaker 2: Oh, that actually almost tracks blacky hair.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, but it's like feathered and a little red.
Speaker 1: It's more like Loretta's.
Speaker 2: Color and it's yeah, and it's like uh fa feathering. Yeah,
Speaker 2: oh it was.
Speaker 4: It was.
Speaker 2: It was a picture. It was a thing.
Speaker 3: But this is another inconsistency because Jesse says in a
Speaker 3: few seasons that he gets his g ed because he
Speaker 3: never graduated from high school.
Speaker 2: In season Sexo, well that's why he didn't wear the
Speaker 2: cardboard hat.
Speaker 1: At graduation, because he actually wasn't participating in graduation. So
Speaker 1: I just I didn't even wear the hat because I
Speaker 1: wasn't graduating that.
Speaker 2: But that's a whole other that doesn't apply.
Speaker 3: He just left that out. Okay, so we left that out.
Speaker 2: That's an erroneous fact.
Speaker 1: It was an erroneous fact. It was an erroneous facts, not.
Speaker 2: An androgynous fact or in what was I don't know anyways? Erogenous?
Speaker 2: Did you say androgynous? And I don't know what I said?
Speaker 1: I can't You said erogenous, and now just said and androgynous.
Speaker 2: I never knew there were so many words that sounded.
Speaker 3: Similar or erroneous. How do you say it for real?
Speaker 2: Erroneous? Erroneously? What did I say then? Or something?
Speaker 4: Er er?
Speaker 2: That's right? Got it? This is I need maybe I
Speaker 2: need to go back to school. I get my ged
Speaker 2: because I can't pronounce anything.
Speaker 3: So Joey grins and tells the guys that the two
Speaker 3: best men thing is okay with him, If it's okay
Speaker 3: with Danny. Danny shakes his head with relief. Anything's better
Speaker 3: than being head usher. Jesse happily pulls them in and
Speaker 3: thanks them, shouting my boys, my boys. Next we're in
Speaker 3: the classroom, Stephanie's classroom.
Speaker 2: Oh I love a good classroom scene.
Speaker 3: The teacher tells her students to take out their library
Speaker 3: books for silent reading time. I loved silent reading time.
Speaker 2: Silent reading time was the best, like best whatever book
Speaker 2: you had.
Speaker 1: And that was always like library I remember if you
Speaker 1: got your work done, and I would usually get my
Speaker 1: work done pretty bick, then you.
Speaker 2: Can free read. And I was like, let me get
Speaker 2: this work done so I can read.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was the kid that would get in trouble,
Speaker 1: like reading at my desk while the teacher was doing
Speaker 1: something and I'd.
Speaker 2: Just be reading a book. She was like, what are
Speaker 2: you doing. I was like, it's Matilda, It's really good. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, man, free reading time was the best.
Speaker 1: This problem still is if I can sit and read
Speaker 1: without anybody bothering me.
Speaker 2: Heaven, that's a vacation right there.
Speaker 3: So Stephanie opens her book and starts to read without
Speaker 3: her glasses, which means she has to hold the book
Speaker 3: extremely close to her face. Her teacher notices and asks Stephanie.
Speaker 3: This immediately gets Steph's attention, and she responds, yes, miss Claire.
Speaker 3: Miss Claire tells her, your dad called this morning. He
Speaker 3: told me he got you new reading glasses. Steph nods
Speaker 3: and tells a teacher that she has them in her bag.
Speaker 3: Miss Claire suggests that since they're reading, maybe it'd be
Speaker 3: a good time to try them on. Steph apprehensively responds,
Speaker 3: maybe it would. Despite her teacher's best efforts, Stephanie still
Speaker 3: doesn't put her glasses on, but then one of her
Speaker 3: classmates chimes in, hey, you got glasses, let's see. In
Speaker 3: that moment, Steph remembers the distorted version of what she
Speaker 3: looked like in the mirror with her glasses on, and
Speaker 3: then she imagines Erkele and his advice we get this
Speaker 3: special floating heads special effect, which was we must have
Speaker 3: had extra money in the budget this week for.
Speaker 2: The special right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Rkle is saying in the Floating Head the
Speaker 3: trick is to make them laugh with you before they
Speaker 3: laugh at you. Steph takes the words into consideration as
Speaker 3: she puts her new glasses on. Then when she turns
Speaker 3: around to show her classmates, there are slinky eyeballs attached
Speaker 3: to them. The entire class laughs at the goofy site,
Speaker 3: and stuff plays along. My glasses fit great, but my
Speaker 3: eyeballs are loose. Miss Clara is watching intently as Steph
Speaker 3: stands up to address the entire class. She tells them,
Speaker 3: I'm just kidding. Those weren't my real glasses. Then she
Speaker 3: takes a pair of giant yellow glasses out of her
Speaker 3: backpack and says these are the kids burst out laughing,
Speaker 3: and stuff continues.
Speaker 2: Oh no, my head shrunk, like you're legit doing.
Speaker 1: A set like you, yes, out of tight five you know,
Speaker 1: just hold on, let me yet, sure, I'll get up.
Speaker 2: Okay, fine, I mean even the teacher's paying attention.
Speaker 1: She's like, I'll let you finish your your jokes here
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna then we're gonna have a problem.
Speaker 3: But yeah, oh yeah, you don't even need a microphone.
Speaker 3: You're just like I just I got my backpack full
Speaker 3: of tricks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hold on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's she's a prop comment. She's basically the carrot
Speaker 1: top of third grade.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, and she's got a captive audience. These third
Speaker 3: graders can't go anywhere.
Speaker 2: It's not right.
Speaker 1: Not only that, what third grader do you know doesn't
Speaker 1: want to just sit and fool around? Yeah that's point.
Speaker 1: Stephan knows our audience.
Speaker 2: She's like, here we go. This is Stuff's moment.
Speaker 1: I'm working on it all night. Yeah, yeah, it's really good.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with the googly eyes. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: to the big sung.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: She's been thinking, she's had it all planned out.
Speaker 2: She has rehearsed this.
Speaker 1: I mean, like this is Joey plenty. She's been to
Speaker 1: several night clubs. I hadn't seen him, so Philip Stiller
Speaker 1: like Philip Still, Yeah.
Speaker 2: She Steph is she She knows what she's doing. Steph's
Speaker 2: gonna be just fine.
Speaker 3: So the class the class keeps laughing at Stephanie, and
Speaker 3: Miss Claire approaches Stephanie again and asks to see her
Speaker 3: at her desk and the whole class ooh.
Speaker 2: I remember that. Do you remember that? Like somebody would
Speaker 2: get in trouble in the classes?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 3: It's the worst feeling too, if you're at the center
Speaker 3: of it. He's like everybody.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Steph is not done yet. She tells her classmates, I.
Speaker 1: Didn't get her flash, I didn't get my light hold on.
Speaker 1: Nobody told me right, Nobody told me I have to
Speaker 1: wrap it up in sixty seconds.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, she's not done, uh, she tells.
Speaker 3: She tells her classmates to behave themselves because she has
Speaker 3: eyes in the back of her head, and she places
Speaker 3: a pair of glasses on the back of her head
Speaker 3: to prove it. Miss Claire is not amused. She signals
Speaker 3: Steph over to her desk once again, and Stephanie hesitantly
Speaker 3: walks over.
Speaker 2: I don't know, march so many times, usually because I
Speaker 2: was making jokes a class. Well, I relate deeply to
Speaker 2: Steph on this. Other than the wall of classes, I
Speaker 2: didn't think it was that bad. I mean, was she
Speaker 2: disrupting the class, sure, but it's free reading times. It
Speaker 2: didn't seem like she was disrupting.
Speaker 1: I mean, it seemed like the teacher was letting her
Speaker 1: have her moment at what are you doing? Right the
Speaker 1: second she stood up, the teacher would have been like, hey,
Speaker 1: step Steph, what do you stop?
Speaker 3: And this is actually a very healthy way of dealing
Speaker 3: with your insecurities about wearing glasses.
Speaker 2: You make jokes about it, this is well maybe that's
Speaker 2: why she let her go. Maybe Ms Claire was like, look,
Speaker 2: I get it, she's trying to whatever, but like, also,
Speaker 2: don't do that, Miss Claire.
Speaker 3: You know, she she knows, she's she's she's been around
Speaker 3: the block once or twice. Yes, we're in the living
Speaker 3: room Michelle is searching through the couch cushions and exclaims,
Speaker 3: all right and nicol. She sticks it right in her
Speaker 3: piggy bank. When she goes back to searching, she announces,
Speaker 3: all right, cheeto and she eats it.
Speaker 2: Oh, Michelle, it's just what happens when you leave a
Speaker 2: child alone. They're eating couch cheetos.
Speaker 1: If this child has been reduced so like digging for
Speaker 1: loose change.
Speaker 2: Couch cheetos. She's like a ram Michelle. Yeah, but at
Speaker 2: least she looks cute, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: She does her hair and her outfits always look great,
Speaker 1: but they don't really pay much attention to her.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: To be seen, not to be heard, kind of right.
Speaker 1: She has to feed herself, so she's looking for stale cheetahs.
Speaker 1: She's like, I gotta yeah, I'm gonna try and buy
Speaker 1: a couple of noodle at the gas stations.
Speaker 2: Right, oh man.
Speaker 3: So just then she hears a familiar tune playing outside,
Speaker 3: and she lights up ice cream Man, Ice cream Man.
Speaker 3: She runs outside and yells to the truck, wait.
Speaker 2: For me, I have money now. She's running out into
Speaker 2: the street. What a four year old. I was like, wait,
Speaker 2: towards the door.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's stairs, there's traffic, like there's San Francisco.
Speaker 2: There's a lot out there. This poor kid, I know.
Speaker 2: And she's got it. Now she has to like earn
Speaker 2: her own money to feed herself too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again she's got She has some serious dietary issues.
Speaker 1: Sugar bodice, sugar ice cream, cheetos. Yeah, it's gonna have
Speaker 1: hyperion by the time she's in the middle school.
Speaker 3: She needs to find some other self soothing mechanisms because
Speaker 3: the sugar binge is just right.
Speaker 2: That can't be right. I mean she's gonna pick up
Speaker 2: smoking pretty soon. Oh man.
Speaker 3: So Michelle runs over to her piggy bank and shakes
Speaker 3: it furiously, saying, give me back my money, you pig.
Speaker 3: And that's when DJ walks in. She asks Michelle, what
Speaker 3: are you doing? And Michelle explains, I need ice cream
Speaker 3: rip its head off?
Speaker 1: Do you wow?
Speaker 2: Violent? This is how she gets You're right, she's kind
Speaker 2: of feral. Yeah, she did this. I will I will
Speaker 2: cut a bitch, she will. She will.
Speaker 3: She will rescind her polite police badge to steal your
Speaker 3: cupcake out the window.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: She is just like I will do anything.
Speaker 2: Pressure fix.
Speaker 3: So DJ tells her little sister to get a grip.
Speaker 3: The whole point of a piggybank is to save money
Speaker 3: for something very important, and Michelle argues ice cream is
Speaker 3: very important. Then the music outside disappears and DJ tells
Speaker 3: Michelle that the ice cream Man is gone. Michelle winds,
Speaker 3: is he really gone? And then she gives DJ a
Speaker 3: well practiced puppy dog face. DJ laughs and tells her
Speaker 3: to put the lip away. She lets Michelle in on
Speaker 3: a little secret. There's a box of fudge sickles hidden
Speaker 3: in the back of the freezer. Michelle tells her it's
Speaker 3: not the same, and then Joey runs in breathlessly.
Speaker 2: Asking did I just hear the ice cream man?
Speaker 3: DJ explains that she just he just missed him, but
Speaker 3: she'll show him where the fudge sickles are hidden in
Speaker 3: the freezer. Joey puts his hands on his hips and size.
Speaker 3: It's not the same, Joey, Joey and Michelle. They're one
Speaker 3: and the same.
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, what was your favorite ice cream when
Speaker 1: you got stuff from the ice cream mammis your favorite?
Speaker 2: Big Sticks?
Speaker 3: I'm like a like a like a Sherbert. I'm a
Speaker 3: Sherbert flavored type of person.
Speaker 2: So yeah, the big.
Speaker 1: Sticks to this day, man, that brings me right back
Speaker 1: to childhood for sure.
Speaker 2: I like the I like the bomb pops. What are
Speaker 2: the bomb pops?
Speaker 1: They were like the ones that they were like the red, white,
Speaker 1: and blue and you like they were like a weird
Speaker 1: little shape or the like banana chocolate ones.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yum.
Speaker 3: I like chocolate, traditional ice cream sandwich, just a regular You're.
Speaker 1: A pure You're a you're a traditionalist. You like the Yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I want to go find ice cream pink panther one
Speaker 1: with the gumball eyes.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, do they still look like so hard and
Speaker 2: you huh yeah? Or ice cream trust a thing? Or
Speaker 2: did they do away with it?
Speaker 1: I mean I don't, like they'll usually it'll be like
Speaker 1: at a park or something, or there will be like
Speaker 1: a lot of times, I mean up here, it'll be
Speaker 1: there's just like the ice cream vendors in the park.
Speaker 2: So it's like, yeah, like uh like grout vendors and stuff.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, okay, So they're not going through the neighbor
Speaker 3: picking up kids.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I mean I hope not.
Speaker 3: But it's a lot safer to be in a public
Speaker 3: location as opposed to like being the scary truck driver.
Speaker 1: Dude, that's right, and that's all I mean. Also, maybe
Speaker 1: in the suburbs they still do.
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's a little too urban here where
Speaker 2: I'm at. Trew Warrant the ice cream man.
Speaker 3: You know, well, I'm determined to find one. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: go find me an ice cream fan.
Speaker 2: Later, I feel like, I feel like Uber EAT's probably killed.
Speaker 2: Uh the ice creaman's vibe, you know. Yeah, it's too bad.
Speaker 2: Turn it okay? Well, anyways, I see, I'll let you know. Yeah,
Speaker 2: call me. I will call you.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 3: Next, in the girls room, Joey walks in as Steph
Speaker 3: is focused on her writing. He asks what she's working on,
Speaker 3: and she explains it's just some homework. He picks up
Speaker 3: one of the completed pieces of paper and reads, I
Speaker 3: will not disrupt the class. I will not disrupt the class.
Speaker 2: How many times did I write that?
Speaker 1: Sense?
Speaker 2: In my life? In real life, you had to write
Speaker 2: it will not right?
Speaker 1: Well, it started fifty, and then for the second infraction,
Speaker 1: then you got to go up to like one one
Speaker 1: hundred or like one hundred and fifty. I was up
Speaker 1: in like the two hundreds. I couldn't stop talking. Maybe
Speaker 1: the German woman who thinks haven't changed. Yeah, it's always yeah,
Speaker 1: I've always changed, couldn't change, couldn't stop talking.
Speaker 2: Ye, there was always a joke to be made. There's
Speaker 2: something funny to be said. I know you're the comic relief.
Speaker 2: I know it's I appreciate that about you. Yeah, my
Speaker 2: teachers didn't. But that's okay. That's okay.
Speaker 3: So Joey says, did you by chance disrupt the class today?
Speaker 3: And Steph sighs, Yeah, I snuck into your joke bag
Speaker 3: and borrowed all your funny glasses. The teacher put them
Speaker 3: in her desk, but you can have them back at
Speaker 3: the end of the year. Joey points out, that's not
Speaker 3: like you to act up in class. She explains that
Speaker 3: she had to make them laugh with her before they
Speaker 3: could laugh at her. Joey nods with understanding. Ah, I
Speaker 3: get it, the class clown routine. I did that once,
Speaker 3: except I was the chubby kid. They used to call
Speaker 3: me Walrus, so I would go and he grabs two
Speaker 3: pencils and sticks them into his mouth to mimic walrus
Speaker 3: tusks while mimicking walrus noises.
Speaker 2: Which is a talent really that Dave has it really
Speaker 2: is I'm having visions of breadsticks. Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: Had a certain wedding. Oh yeah, you could do this
Speaker 3: at was it Bob's wedding or Chris Chris's wedding? Say
Speaker 3: it was the same locations, same locate. Yeah, I'm sure
Speaker 3: he does it at every wedding.
Speaker 1: Where there's large small bread like skinny breadsticks available.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the skinny bread sticks.
Speaker 3: I mean it was you know, it was a nice
Speaker 3: formal dinner and then there's David's breadsticks. Anyways, so Joey
Speaker 3: tells Steph kids can be pretty cruel sometimes. What did
Speaker 3: they say to you? And Steph tells them that one
Speaker 3: kid said you got glasses?
Speaker 2: Let me see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean she really did kind of jump just
Speaker 1: right into worst case scenario.
Speaker 3: She did. She wasn't gonna just let it leave anything
Speaker 3: to chance. She jumped around right. Joey looks at her
Speaker 3: with confusion.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 3: She emphasizes that he said it pretty loud, So Joey
Speaker 3: clarifies none of the kids actually teased you. Stephanie argues
Speaker 3: that they would have, so Joey has to remind her
Speaker 3: anybody who would tease you is a jerk, because with
Speaker 3: or without your glasses, you are the most beautiful third
Speaker 3: grader I know. She gives him a genuine smile in response,
Speaker 3: and Joey continues, I want you to take a good
Speaker 3: look at yourself in the mirror with those glasses on,
Speaker 3: and you'll see that you look just fine. Steph insists,
Speaker 3: I already have. Trust me, it was not a pretty sight,
Speaker 3: but Joey tells her you saw what you were afraid
Speaker 3: of rather than what was really there. He forces her
Speaker 3: to go over to the mirror and tell him what
Speaker 3: she really sees. Steph reluctantly does so, but when she
Speaker 3: sees her reflection with the glasses on, she smiles.
Speaker 2: She falls all ye, she found him. It is just
Speaker 2: like hey, yeah, I hold him.
Speaker 3: She tells Joey, Hey, it's hey, it's me, and Joey
Speaker 3: tells her, no, it's the new and improved you. Because
Speaker 3: now you can read. She grant and thanks, I mean I.
Speaker 1: Can see you know I could read already right right
Speaker 1: right now, you can actually you can actually the words,
Speaker 1: right yeah yeah, so she grins, Thanks, Joey, I feel better.
Speaker 3: She gives him a big hug and a kiss on
Speaker 3: the cheek. Joey looks at her and says, I think
Speaker 3: you look pretty mature, and Stuff is surprised. Really, do
Speaker 3: you think I could pass for a fourth grader? Joey
Speaker 3: suggests that she puts the stem of her glasses in
Speaker 3: her mouth and think upper elementary school. Steph pries it
Speaker 3: out and Joey tells her that's fifth grade stuff. Puts
Speaker 3: the glasses back on. It strikes a pose. Joey tells
Speaker 3: her that's high fashion model. She strikes another pose, and
Speaker 3: Joey continues to flatter her, boosting her confidence tenfold.
Speaker 2: And that's our show.
Speaker 1: I love the last little moment too with Dave and
Speaker 1: I like you can see it's like a cute moment
Speaker 1: and then he just like grabs me and gives me
Speaker 1: a big kiss on the head.
Speaker 3: It was very do that chemistry was real. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: that was a sweet moment. Great episode. This, Yeah, this
Speaker 3: was a This was a great episode.
Speaker 1: I didn't remember that Rkle and the glasses episode were
Speaker 1: the same one. Oh that makes sense, because you know
Speaker 1: that's kind of the whole thing that brings him.
Speaker 2: Or whatever is the glasses conversation.
Speaker 3: But yeah, well and that's what I that's why I
Speaker 3: think this this was a really well done crossover episode
Speaker 3: because it wasn't like you shoehorned in this popular character.
Speaker 1: There was actually a reason you just had him hiding
Speaker 1: behind a door of the character's bedroom.
Speaker 3: Aside from terrifying the Tanner girls, he also provided some
Speaker 3: advice to who better to provide you with advice about
Speaker 3: glasses than Brkele, So it's true.
Speaker 2: It was great. They didn't overuse him.
Speaker 3: It was two scenes and he was damaged the house,
Speaker 3: like it was perfect.
Speaker 2: So funny. He was so so funny.
Speaker 1: I just I, you know, because I didn't really watch shows, syncoms, whatever.
Speaker 1: You know, you don't really like you've seen bits and
Speaker 1: pieces obviously of things, but like I didn't watch the show,
Speaker 1: so I forgot just how brilliant he was, Like really
Speaker 1: really great character.
Speaker 2: It's just and in it, stuck with it.
Speaker 1: Just I was really impressed because I genuinely laughed, like
Speaker 1: I was really Like there were moments that just his
Speaker 1: face or the way he did something really just struck
Speaker 1: me as genuinely funny. Not like sitcom, but just something
Speaker 1: that he really played with and did and and made merkle,
Speaker 1: you know, and it was Yeah, it was really really great.
Speaker 3: So Julia is just a it's a it's a masterclass
Speaker 3: in physical comedy.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Surele is such an extreme character, like the wardrobe is
Speaker 3: extreme and the voice is extreme, so it's easy for
Speaker 3: those little nuances to get lost, like the facial movements,
Speaker 3: but the micro movements. But he is a master from
Speaker 3: head to toe, Like it's those little movements that make
Speaker 3: such a difference, you.
Speaker 1: Know, for a young person to really be a And also,
Speaker 1: as you know, it's so hard to commit to something
Speaker 1: stupid when you're that age.
Speaker 2: Now you're like, oh please, I have no problem.
Speaker 1: But like at that age and Bridgie, that middle school
Speaker 1: early high school age, like to commit to being outlandish and.
Speaker 2: Ridiculous publicly, it takes a lot of courage. It's a
Speaker 2: big ask. Yeah, it's a big ask for teenagers.
Speaker 3: And you just have to kind of disassociate and just say,
Speaker 3: I'm not going to think about my friends making fun
Speaker 3: of me. I'm not going to think about how weird
Speaker 3: I look in I'm our audience of millions. You just
Speaker 3: have to put your head down and do it. It's
Speaker 3: like you're just you're in the scene. It's just you
Speaker 3: and your scene partner.
Speaker 1: And That's the thing is I remember like acting coaches
Speaker 1: and stuff always saying like, if you commit, the audience
Speaker 1: will go with you. If they can tell that you're
Speaker 1: only half committed or like you think it looks dumb,
Speaker 1: they're not going to laugh.
Speaker 2: They're going to be like, oh, they're going to feel
Speaker 2: bad for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, you know if you if you just go
Speaker 1: for it, then they're like, oh, okay, we're just laughing
Speaker 1: at this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the best advice.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: You cannot have something like Steve Rkle or gimme Gibbs
Speaker 2: or give me.
Speaker 1: No, you can't go for it because they're not self
Speaker 1: conscious of themselves. No, have to just be be that person. Well,
Speaker 1: this was a really fun show.
Speaker 2: It was cute. Uh, steph needs some.
Speaker 1: Better taste and glasses, but they need to And I
Speaker 1: get stuck with these too.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, these are the ones that I wear. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I know that's terrible. Who somebody?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess they just didn't have as many. There
Speaker 3: weren't like, yeah, fashionable glasses back then. I guess kles
Speaker 3: glasses weren't as offensive as Stephanie's classes.
Speaker 2: Yours were just very it was the exclusive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thick rimmed, that's what and uh round but that
Speaker 1: and the Laura Ashley dress, you know really that was that.
Speaker 3: Was a look. Yeah. Did you have any Everywharrey looks
Speaker 3: or recognize anyone in the class?
Speaker 1: I did so.
Speaker 2: In the classroom, I had uh several everywhere he looks.
Speaker 2: Oh good.
Speaker 1: Uh. Sitting directly behind me was Joel's Wick's daughter Hillary, Oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: Then and then behind her and like over a row
Speaker 1: so you could see him, was was Jamie Joels Wick's son.
Speaker 2: Oh and Joel. I remember.
Speaker 1: Joel would always joke he was like, oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean this is what you do.
Speaker 2: You have kids and you put him on a kid scene.
Speaker 2: You know, it's like that's just the perks, right.
Speaker 1: And then Alison, who was Keith's daughter, Keith Richmond's daughter
Speaker 1: was sitting like the row over and I believe one
Speaker 1: of our makeup artists daughter was behind the red headed kid.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: The classroom was full of quite a few, uh, quite
Speaker 2: a few familiar faces. Oh that's so neat, and like
Speaker 2: I was friends with.
Speaker 1: Them, Like they would come to my birthday parties. Like
Speaker 1: I got to know the kids of everybody we worked
Speaker 1: with too.
Speaker 3: It was you know, yeah, because they was like, you
Speaker 3: didn't have a Kimmy Gibbler, I mean with j.
Speaker 2: Until Gia and and uh and that whole thing. But no,
Speaker 2: I didn't.
Speaker 3: You needed people your own age on the set. And
Speaker 3: so these were the only time.
Speaker 1: I was always so excited when you were like, Hi, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, talk to me, play with please? Yeah, oh
Speaker 1: did you have any mine?
Speaker 2: Is just an observation.
Speaker 1: I noticed that rcle never uses his catchphrase in this
Speaker 1: episode the.
Speaker 2: Did I do that?
Speaker 1: He never, He never used it, which spelt deliberate. I
Speaker 1: don't know, because he's so there.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe it's a it's a legal thing.
Speaker 1: You can't cross pollinate your h your catchphrase catch I wonder.
Speaker 3: I wondered if it was deliberate like family matters are
Speaker 3: like no, you can't use the catchphrase, or if they
Speaker 3: just didn't find a reason.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, I also they didn't really find read. He
Speaker 2: didn't do anything or not anything. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3: Usually he like destroys the house and then it's like
Speaker 3: I do that. So yeah there was he just locked
Speaker 3: an eight year old in her room and held us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was it, you know.
Speaker 1: And he asked about cheese, which was also a very
Speaker 1: racle thing to do, which, to be fair, I do
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 2: I love cheese. I walk into a friend's house, I'm likeyoh,
Speaker 2: I'm hungry. You got some cheese?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's worth waiting for the kurdl you know, the cheese.
Speaker 2: I don't know about that.
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I mean it is, because
Speaker 1: that's what cheese is, but not in person. I don't
Speaker 1: need to look at it. You'd be waiting a long time,
Speaker 1: I think, so. Yeah, I don't think that's exactly how
Speaker 1: you make cheese. I think it needs a cave or
Speaker 1: something like somewhere dark. I don't know, never made cheese.
Speaker 2: Okay, put it on your bucket list.
