Speaker 1: My little lip gloss. Oh there you go. Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 2: Now that you know, people are gonna potentially watch little
Speaker 2: clips of this because we've.
Speaker 1: Because I couldn't get enough last week, so I had
Speaker 1: to come back.
Speaker 2: I'm so glad about that this giant zi on my
Speaker 2: chin decided to join us for uh, for an episode
Speaker 2: when we're probably definitely gonna post definitely, I mean it
Speaker 2: needs it.
Speaker 3: Some microphone really at this point.
Speaker 1: That's okay. It's part of the studio audience along with
Speaker 1: mister Bear.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we each special guests, special, very special guests,
Speaker 2: very gay.
Speaker 1: Guess who I saw yesterday? I will tell you this earlier,
Speaker 1: I saw Gwen. I spent the afternoon with Gwen Victor
Speaker 1: or dialog coach from Fuller. She's just one of the
Speaker 1: most amazing on the planet. Love her. But no, she
Speaker 1: came over to my house for the afternoon because Michael,
Speaker 1: my boyfriend, who's a real estate photographer, he's joined forces
Speaker 1: with with Gwen because Michael does video. So there's this
Speaker 1: new trend where agents are on camera now, yes, so
Speaker 1: they want to be on camera and Hi, welcome to
Speaker 1: my newest listing one, two, three, four Main Street. But
Speaker 1: the agents are terrible at it, most terrified. It's just
Speaker 1: not in their wheelhouse. They're used to being behind the camera,
Speaker 1: not in front of the camera. So Michael's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I see a need, and so let's let me invite
Speaker 1: Gwen to join. And so she's like the acting coach
Speaker 1: now for real estate agents who want to be on
Speaker 1: camera but aren't comfortable on camera. So she came over
Speaker 1: and they shot some videos, like some old teaser videos
Speaker 1: just to kind of introduce who Gwen is. But I thought,
Speaker 1: this is this is great. She's so good, Like she's
Speaker 1: just so good and right, just little tiny minute changes
Speaker 1: that change the whole performance, you know, and she makes
Speaker 1: you feel like confident.
Speaker 2: So I feel like she'll be a really great person
Speaker 2: to have in there with people who are like this
Speaker 2: feels really weird.
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, no, it's perfect. It's just somebody to
Speaker 1: help you with the script or to help you. Like
Speaker 1: Gwen said, what do you do with your hands? Like
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't know what to do with
Speaker 1: their hands.
Speaker 3: I still don't know what to do with my hands
Speaker 3: when I'm.
Speaker 2: Talking, you know, Like that's why I love address with
Speaker 2: pockets or pants, because I could put a hand in
Speaker 2: my pot. Otherwise I'm like, I don't have a purse. This
Speaker 2: feels I want to just cross my arms, but that
Speaker 2: doesn't look good on camera. Oh well that's not everything.
Speaker 1: Over John John Stamos, he's like the master of what
Speaker 1: to do with his hands. Like that's why he's always
Speaker 1: touched in people or putting his arm around people. Or
Speaker 1: he got fried chicken, like that's why he's always holding
Speaker 1: on to a part of It's his nervous energy to
Speaker 1: do something with his hands. But yeah, he's always like
Speaker 1: if you notice, he's always like grabbing on to somebody
Speaker 1: or like holding a rug or or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you always busy hands. That's what I remember. Was
Speaker 3: it Brian Kle that said that to us?
Speaker 1: No, it must be.
Speaker 2: Brian or an acting teacher of mine who was like,
Speaker 2: if you have busy hands, it like everything just suddenly
Speaker 2: feels more grounded.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does. It's more natural than like standing, I
Speaker 1: don't stand there? Hi, Uh well right right right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Stand like something AI. Yes, but I told Gwenn about
Speaker 1: the live show in case she wants to come and
Speaker 1: see everybody, She's going to try to come. That would
Speaker 1: be amazing, But she leaves on a trip the next day,
Speaker 1: so she might not come anyways. Uh yeah, so good
Speaker 1: to see her, she says, hello, she sends her love.
Speaker 2: That's so wonderful. You know, I saw Sony at my
Speaker 2: live show. She came to the comedy pageant. Yep, yeah,
Speaker 2: she did come out. It was very fun.
Speaker 1: Yay, oh good. I love that. She's so she's such
Speaker 1: a sweetest. Yeah, I love that girl, my daughter. I'll
Speaker 1: take credit, you know, take partial credit, partial partial.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that was a great with anti influence. I'm sure.
Speaker 1: No, it's because of us.
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 2: Like she's now in our little you know, coven with
Speaker 2: she's porch talk time.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, she's part of she's one of us. She's
Speaker 1: not just the kid, right, the kid actor. No, she's
Speaker 1: she's over twenty one. She can go out for drinks
Speaker 1: right with us. She can hang for dinner.
Speaker 2: Sony has basically been this person since she was like fifteen,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like she's always been the
Speaker 2: person where I was like, you could, I mean, you
Speaker 2: could hang out with us?
Speaker 1: But yeah yeah yeah no, now it's legit.
Speaker 3: It's legit now.
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, she's a legal drinking hit. She can even
Speaker 2: have a cocktail so weird.
Speaker 1: Well, let's get into today. Welcome back to how Rude
Speaker 1: Tanner Ritos. I am Andrea Barber and I'm Jodie Sweeten,
Speaker 1: and today we're discussing season four, episode twenty five, The Graduates.
Speaker 1: It originally aired April twenty sixth, nineteen ninety one, and
Speaker 1: it goes a little something like this, Danny dates a
Speaker 1: college student boy from the same time.
Speaker 2: I mean it was just such a strange, like just
Speaker 2: that first sentence, You're like, what.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no context, college student. It's very scandalous. It's
Speaker 1: to get your attention, you know. At the same time,
Speaker 1: DJ graduates from junior high and Michelle graduates from preschool.
Speaker 1: Stephanie feels left out of the graduation festivities, so the
Speaker 1: family tries to cheer her up by making a graduation
Speaker 1: ceremony for her. Oh super sweet. It was directed by
Speaker 1: Joels Wick, it was written by Ellen Guiless, and we
Speaker 1: have several guest stars this week. Jennifer Nash stars as
Speaker 1: Kirsten the college student. The aforementioned college student. She appeared
Speaker 1: on Blossom, Coach, Star Trek, The Next Generation Home Improvement,
Speaker 1: Mister Belvedere, and most recently, she wrote directed a series
Speaker 1: called The Last Saturday Night In but it was in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, so I assume it got right. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it met a terrible face because of the pandemic and
Speaker 1: all the strikes and all that. But yeah, no, she's
Speaker 1: We did not kill her career, so thank god she
Speaker 1: always run. Yeah, that survived the the full house lore.
Speaker 1: Then we have Roseanne Katan. I'm gonna say Katan, Sure,
Speaker 1: Roseanne Katan. She returns as missus Manning, the preschool teacher.
Speaker 1: We last saw her in episode four oh six Pinch
Speaker 1: for a Pinch, and unfortunately this is her last appearance.
Speaker 3: She was graduating preschool. No more preschool teacher sating.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so it's a bummer because she's great. She's
Speaker 1: really great in this rule. Then we have Hank Garrett
Speaker 1: as Jerry Jacobs. He played Gene Ashwell in twelve episodes
Speaker 1: of Max's Headroom, He played the police in seven episodes
Speaker 1: of Santa Barbara, and he played dial tone in twenty
Speaker 1: one episodes of g I Joe. I don't know what
Speaker 1: that means, but it thrills me for some reason. Okay,
Speaker 1: dial tone.
Speaker 2: First of all, kids these days are like, what's a
Speaker 2: dial tone?
Speaker 1: You know, like they would.
Speaker 2: Have no idea, right, So I just I want to
Speaker 2: know for twenty one episodes, did he just go.
Speaker 1: You know, like was that it? Or yeah? I was
Speaker 1: he like the time? Yeah? Like was that his like name?
Speaker 3: Maybe?
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe it's a nickname die like Diet like they
Speaker 1: all had like dial Tone. Yeah, I don't know, like
Speaker 1: military nicknames for each other. I don't know. I was.
Speaker 2: I did not watch a ton of g I Joe
Speaker 2: I was more she ra he man kind of person.
Speaker 1: Yeah, same, same. Well, we're go back and watch it
Speaker 1: to catch all these twenty one appearances as dial Tone,
Speaker 1: and last but not least, we have Miko Hughes returning
Speaker 1: once again as Miko. We start with the teaser in
Speaker 1: Joey's room. Joey is playing a bluesy tune on his
Speaker 1: harmonica when Michelle walks in wearing her pjs. She asks,
Speaker 1: have you seen my Piggy? Joey says no and asks
Speaker 1: if he's lost. Michelle siys I looked everywhere. Joey tells
Speaker 1: her that the one thing that helps him after losing
Speaker 1: the stuffed animal is to play the blues.
Speaker 2: It's a well known, it's what most therapists to recommend.
Speaker 1: It's a remedy, right, He's the number one remedy recommended
Speaker 1: by nine Stuffed Animal.
Speaker 2: You should play the blues on our harmonica. It's nothing
Speaker 2: like it, I'm telling you. Really, heals an excuse to
Speaker 2: play harm Basically, what I've determined from the last two
Speaker 2: teasers is that it is both a feature of musical
Speaker 2: talents by an adult and Michelle uh bossing people around.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yes, that's exactly what.
Speaker 2: That's all you need for a teaser, right, Is there
Speaker 2: an adult that can play an instrument?
Speaker 3: Does Michelle want to tell them to do something?
Speaker 1: Combine it?
Speaker 3: Now you've got a teaser.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like mad libs with Michelle, but it's hurt
Speaker 1: different people in different activities, but it's kind of all
Speaker 1: the same. So Joey says he'll start her off with
Speaker 1: the music and then she can tell him the story.
Speaker 1: He plays the tune and then sings, Michelle lost her Piggy,
Speaker 1: and she follows with, oh, where could he be? Joey
Speaker 1: plays the tune and she continues, He's not in my room,
Speaker 1: and then she smiles, I just remembered, and she finishes
Speaker 1: her verse with I left him in the kitchen. There
Speaker 1: we go, she runs away. It kind of worked. Joey
Speaker 1: was right, it works, you know, yeah, playing the blues help.
Speaker 1: Joey then continues to play and makes up his own song,
Speaker 1: my baby had done left me, He done left me
Speaker 1: for a pig. He sings some oh yeahs at the
Speaker 1: end and the crowd cheers. Super cute teaser. He really
Speaker 1: liked this one. I thought, oh my gosh, she was
Speaker 1: just so cute with her singing, and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was very cute. And Dave is an amazing
Speaker 2: harmonica player.
Speaker 1: He is, yeah, one of his special tricks, and he
Speaker 1: would bust out that harmonica even off stage.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he was just like, yeah, just play that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, yep. So next in the kitchen, Becky, Jesse, Joey,
Speaker 1: and Danny are gathered in the kitchen for breakfast. Becky
Speaker 1: proudly tells them that their waffles are ready, but when
Speaker 1: she opens the waffle maker, they're spread out and much
Speaker 1: the worst.
Speaker 2: You just don't get the when you open the waffle
Speaker 2: maker too quick, ruins everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta wait till it's just browned.
Speaker 2: Just yeah, Although she is dressed fabulously to be making waffles,
Speaker 2: I mean I know they're heading out the door for
Speaker 2: Wake Up San Francisco and that they get in wardrobe
Speaker 2: before they leave the house. True, yeah, but I would
Speaker 2: at least wear an apron. You know, it's a very
Speaker 2: cute outfit.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Why didn't she wear an apron? Well, it's about fashion,
Speaker 1: not function. Becky wants to look fabs, you know. But yeah,
Speaker 1: this is a running gag with her. This Becky can't
Speaker 1: cook trope right, Like, isn't this mentioned several times throughout
Speaker 1: the series? Yah, yeah, I think so. So she tries
Speaker 1: to make the best of it. She tells the guys
Speaker 1: to grab a fork and it's all you can scrape.
Speaker 1: Jesse decides he's in a serial mood this morning, and
Speaker 1: Joey and Danny quickly agree. Making their way to the
Speaker 1: dining table, Joey asks Danny how his blind date went
Speaker 1: last night. Danny tells him not so good. We played
Speaker 1: the old yes Your Age game and she guessed I
Speaker 1: was thirty three. The nerve of that woman. Jesse breaks
Speaker 1: it to him, you are thirty three, and Danny states
Speaker 1: the obvious it's calmon courtesy to knock off four or
Speaker 1: five years, and Joey chimes in maybe she thought she
Speaker 1: did oh good bird, oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but also maybe I don't know, who knows, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Thirty three very different in nineteen ninety one than it
Speaker 3: does now.
Speaker 1: It really, Bob always seemed older, like he always seemed
Speaker 1: like he was in his forty like to us.
Speaker 2: There's always that thing though of like everyone of a
Speaker 2: certain age when you're young just seems like you're like, no,
Speaker 2: they've they're at least forty.
Speaker 3: Everyone's at least forty.
Speaker 1: Forty, right, every everyone that's an adult is forty.
Speaker 2: Rightly, because forty, you're like, that's over.
Speaker 1: The hills, you know. Yeah, yeah, Well, and then Bob,
Speaker 1: they dressed him kind of dowdy, you know, as Danny Tanners.
Speaker 3: In nineties sort of. It was you were either like short,
Speaker 3: half boot wearing.
Speaker 2: You know, padded blazer, or you were kind of like
Speaker 2: the Laura Ashley version which we will see later in
Speaker 2: this episode where I am dressed like a doily, so
Speaker 2: you know, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I fel like the hair.
Speaker 2: Everything it wasn't nothing was like youthful about it.
Speaker 3: It was all very like.
Speaker 1: Sprayed, and yeah, it definitely trended towards older, but it's
Speaker 1: the nineties. You know, it's only nineteen ninety one. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of nineties left, yes, in this decade. So
Speaker 1: Danny gives Joey a death stare, and Joey doubles down.
Speaker 1: You do have a few gray hairs, and Danny argues
Speaker 1: that he does not. Joey proves it by plucking out
Speaker 1: the first gray hair that he sees. Jesse decides to
Speaker 1: join in on the fund, plucking out another gray hair
Speaker 1: that he spots. Then Becky walks by and plucks out another. Damn,
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to do that, doesn't It isn't that
Speaker 1: the Whole Wives tale that the hairs multiply if you
Speaker 1: pluck one out.
Speaker 3: I don't think that's how hair works.
Speaker 1: Well I don't think so either, but that's what's Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I was told.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Otherwise I should have a lot more hair than I do,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Not that I'm plucking.
Speaker 2: I don't have any grays, But just if if, like
Speaker 2: pulling one out was replicated more, I feel like every
Speaker 2: time I combed my hair and just shedded that more
Speaker 2: hair would be growing, like some sort of.
Speaker 1: True first a pet. Well, okay, so maybe it's not true.
Speaker 1: Did you know random? Oh oh god, did you know
Speaker 1: you're channeling me?
Speaker 3: You're in the office and random at your office.
Speaker 1: Let's go random, tangent and probably maybe a little too
Speaker 1: much information one of my Okay, so I do have
Speaker 1: gray hair, and I get mine okay because I'm older
Speaker 1: than you. But uh I found a grey eyelash. Huh,
Speaker 1: I have a gray eyelash, but grant I put mass
Speaker 1: scara on it, so you can't.
Speaker 2: I will be honest. When you said this might be
Speaker 2: too much information and you were like, I have a
Speaker 2: g I was like, where are we going? Where are
Speaker 2: we going? Yeah?
Speaker 3: No, yeah, no, a great, I'll tell you.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that story off off air.
Speaker 2: That is interesting though I've never I didn't know, I've
Speaker 2: never seen eyelashes go gray.
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if I'm going to get more gray eyelashes
Speaker 1: or if it's just like one like the like a statement.
Speaker 3: Like like one of those stripes, like those weird like.
Speaker 1: Calleen, that newscaster that always had.
Speaker 3: That right right, just one white stripe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So maybe I was gonna stay like that, or
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna have all gray eyelashes someday, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Fascinating Leslie can get him tempted now though, so you'll
Speaker 2: never know, yes, Adamton or see just Masscara, it's easy
Speaker 2: to cover up if they start going great, leave him
Speaker 2: for a minute, because I need to see what this
Speaker 2: looks like. Yeah, just for my own personal edification.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll do that just for you, thank you, thank you. Okay.
Speaker 1: So anyways, they've picked out Danny's gray hairs. They show
Speaker 1: him their findings and he's not happy about this. He
Speaker 1: tells them to leave the three hairs on the table
Speaker 1: because he may need them for a hair transplant. Then
Speaker 1: Michelle walks downstairs and says hello people. They all wish
Speaker 1: her a good morning, and Danny decides it's a good
Speaker 1: idea to ask her how old he looks. Michelle taps
Speaker 1: her lips in concentration before declaring ninety two. Danny is
Speaker 1: visibly hurt by this assumption and thanks his daughter for
Speaker 1: the reality check. Come on, she's four, right, of course,
Speaker 1: he's ninety two to her?
Speaker 2: Right, you know, ninety two is thirty three, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean? Like, you're like, I don't know it's
Speaker 2: more than five?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yes, he's older than the sisters, and that's all
Speaker 1: that matters to Michelle. Michelle asks the guys if they
Speaker 1: want to hear her graduation song. It was graduation, graduation,
Speaker 1: graduation song, so cute, But Jesse's not interested. He doesn't
Speaker 1: even pretend like he's interested. He tells her no offense,
Speaker 1: But the Wheels on the Bus isn't exactly the coolest
Speaker 1: song in the world.
Speaker 3: You see, get over it. You live in a house
Speaker 3: like the toddler.
Speaker 1: I know she's a tallish it.
Speaker 2: I will I will second him on the fact that
Speaker 2: sometimes you're like, just don't say. I mean, I'm just
Speaker 2: glad that my kids old for baby Shark, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I get it. Sometimes you just don't want to.
Speaker 1: Hear it because then it'll be in your head forever.
Speaker 3: Now it's in mine.
Speaker 1: So Michelle pouts and Jesse changes his tone, instantly telling
Speaker 1: her hit it. Michelle sings Wheels on the bus, complete
Speaker 1: with hand motions, and Jesse reluctantly follows along with her.
Speaker 1: Then Michelle shouts everybody but the other adults don't sing along.
Speaker 1: Joey suggests that she wait to sing that song in
Speaker 1: the car with the other kids. Michelle nods with understanding,
Speaker 1: and Jesse thanks Joey for the suggestion. Joey tells him,
Speaker 1: no problem, it's your day to drive carpool, and then
Speaker 1: he wheezes a laugh again. Jesse rolls his eyes. He
Speaker 1: gets up and carries Michelle out the door, and she
Speaker 1: sings wheels on the bus all the way out. Then
Speaker 1: Stephan DJ run downstairs. Danny tries to redeem himself from
Speaker 1: Michelle's previous guests and asks DJ how old he looks.
Speaker 3: Don't ask a teenager.
Speaker 2: They'll give you an even worse answer than a toddler,
Speaker 2: except they'll meet.
Speaker 3: They'll they'll know it's mean and think it's funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll answer it night, just to watch drop.
Speaker 3: You know, yes, yeah, so DJ.
Speaker 1: Yeah. She gives it to him straight. I don't know
Speaker 1: you're my dad. You look old, and Danny looks like
Speaker 1: he's about to cry. Becky asks DJ how her speech
Speaker 1: for graduation is going. She admits that the speech is fine,
Speaker 1: she's just worried about speaking in front of three hundred people.
Speaker 1: Joey tries to help her out, saying it's easier to
Speaker 1: speak in front of big crowds if you picture everyone
Speaker 1: in their underwear. I you never understand this. That would
Speaker 1: be distracting to me, not right. I would be like,
Speaker 1: my nerves, Why did you guys find clothes? Yeah? I don't.
Speaker 1: I'd be concerned. I couldn't.
Speaker 2: You would have I think secondhand embarrassment for all of
Speaker 2: those people sitting in.
Speaker 3: A theater naked.
Speaker 2: Basically, so I feel like it wouldn't make me more
Speaker 2: comfortable in the least. No no its, And then I'd
Speaker 2: be like, why am I picturing people in their underwear?
Speaker 1: Why can't I?
Speaker 3: What's what's wrong?
Speaker 1: Why am I doing what's wrong with me? Yes, this
Speaker 1: is my advice. This is not sage advice, for sure,
Speaker 1: but it's but it's.
Speaker 3: I don't find it to be.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not good advice. It's just typical. It's not right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well yeah, there's a lot of that out there.
Speaker 1: So DJ is confused by this. She says why, and
Speaker 1: Joey shrugs, I don't know. It's just fun. Girls grab
Speaker 1: their lunches and say goodbye. But before Steph leaves, she
Speaker 1: asks her dad, why don't I get a graduation? Danny
Speaker 1: assures her, oh, you will, but you're just going from
Speaker 1: third grade to fourth grade. Stephanie's appalled. Just it so happens.
Speaker 1: I'm going from lower elementary into upper elementary. I'll be
Speaker 1: playing on a completely different playground with no monkey bars.
Speaker 1: This is a very big deal. And nobody cares. How rude.
Speaker 2: Really really bothering her righteous indignation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, she's she's very upset about this and it
Speaker 1: needs to be remedied.
Speaker 2: And let me tell you, at the mention of monkey bars,
Speaker 2: the callouses on my hands right here, I felt them
Speaker 2: crack and could smell the metal on my hands, you know,
Speaker 2: I was like just that sweaty metal and and and
Speaker 2: they just they're like ripping right here, and they'd hurt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the callouses appear instantly too. It's not like you
Speaker 1: have to climb for a while. Instant. Oh, it's just right.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and god forbid you do it on a hot day.
Speaker 1: You'll learn that.
Speaker 3: Lesson real quick.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yes, it's hazardous, it's hazardous.
Speaker 2: But so yeah, but monkey bars, monkey bars, Like, if
Speaker 2: I tried to do monkey bars today, I just fall.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, No, I I when there.
Speaker 3: Was monkey bars to you know, monkey across.
Speaker 1: No, I couldn't do that in fourth grade. And I
Speaker 1: definitely can't do that now.
Speaker 2: I used to flip upside down on them, you know,
Speaker 2: you hook your knees and I'd be terrified now, like
Speaker 2: I'm gonna break my neck?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, how did you not break your neck? Like
Speaker 1: you're the most clumsy person I know?
Speaker 2: Only walking walking on usually my biggest struggle because it's
Speaker 2: like this is simple, and so I check out and
Speaker 2: and I'm.
Speaker 3: Not like present and doing something else.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why. That's that's that explains.
Speaker 2: But when I'm dancing, like, I'm fine, sure, when I
Speaker 2: dance nothing, you know, it's because every I'm fully engaged.
Speaker 3: And present in myself.
Speaker 1: But walking you're walking, I'm like, I'm using that.
Speaker 2: That's just thinking time for where I'm going to be
Speaker 2: and what just happened, and not where I'm going.
Speaker 1: This this makes a lot of sense. This explains a
Speaker 1: lot about you, Tody so much so. Stephanie storms out,
Speaker 1: and Danny's size, Oh man, I am getting old. DJ's
Speaker 1: graduating junior high, Michelle's graduating preschool, and stuff is about
Speaker 1: to go to a playground with no monkey bars. Like
Speaker 1: he reminds him, this is all a part of life,
Speaker 1: and Joey nods in agreement. Yeah, pretty soon, the girls
Speaker 1: will move out, get married, have kids. Before you know it,
Speaker 1: you'll be old, bald and alone.
Speaker 3: Joey's killing it is really, he's really on.
Speaker 1: He's just on a jag.
Speaker 3: Off, you know.
Speaker 1: He pats Danny on the chest and tells him to
Speaker 1: have a nice day, and he walks out.
Speaker 2: Payback, right, Yeah, I don't know what Danny did or said,
Speaker 2: but Joey was.
Speaker 1: That was Joey mad.
Speaker 3: That was angry Joey.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yep, yep. There's no mercy whatsoever. Next we
Speaker 1: are on the set of Wake Up San Francisco. Danny
Speaker 1: and Becky are joined by a fitness instructor on the show,
Speaker 1: and lucky for them, they're doing jumping jacks, but Danny
Speaker 1: hasn't quite mastered the movement yet.
Speaker 2: Bless Laurie for having to be jumping around and doing
Speaker 2: aerobics in.
Speaker 3: An eighties you know.
Speaker 2: I mean not like she didn't pull it, like she
Speaker 2: was fine, but still I would just hate I would
Speaker 2: hate it.
Speaker 1: I know, you get so conscious and she was just
Speaker 1: wearing like an eighties workout gear in the Shape Up episode.
Speaker 3: Right, that's right, how we have we've prepped for this before.
Speaker 2: That's right, I forgot We've prepped for never mind, I
Speaker 2: don't feel the second time it's old.
Speaker 1: She's used to this torture. By now, Becky thanks the instructor,
Speaker 1: Jerry Jacobs, and promotes his new home workout video, Body
Speaker 1: by Jair. Jerry Mutt reminds the host that the most
Speaker 1: important thing to do after every workout is stretch. He
Speaker 1: looks right at Danny and adds especially for us older guys. Right, Danny, Damn, Danny.
Speaker 2: Doesn't I better? Joe Joey paid him to say that.
Speaker 2: Joe's like twenty bucks here.
Speaker 1: What are the odds? Right? So Joey took the ten
Speaker 1: bucks from last episode.
Speaker 3: And this ry like, I'm gonna put that to good use.
Speaker 1: So Danny doesn't know how to respond. He breathlessly asks, older,
Speaker 1: what do you mean? How old do I look? Do
Speaker 1: I have any gray hairs? As Jerry his scalp, Becky
Speaker 1: signs them off. Join us tomorrow and wake up San Francisco.
Speaker 1: As we watched, Danny age gracefully. She's just trying to
Speaker 1: keep the show together. You know. She's like, oh boy,
Speaker 1: how do we get out? How do I outro out
Speaker 1: of this awkward? Awkward segment. So after they wrap, Danny
Speaker 1: tells one of the crew members that he needs more
Speaker 1: makeup under his eyes next time he looks tired or something.
Speaker 1: Then a PA runs out onto the set and tells
Speaker 1: Danny he had a great show. He thanks her. Her
Speaker 1: name is Kirsten, and she also thanks him because Danny
Speaker 1: is the one who let her do this college internship
Speaker 1: on the show. She admits she was surprised during that
Speaker 1: exercise segment. Danny wentzys, Oh, I'm sorry, I haven't done
Speaker 1: squat thrusts since grade school, and she laughs and tells
Speaker 1: him I meant when he called you an older guy,
Speaker 1: I mean you can't be more than what twenty seven
Speaker 1: twenty eight. Danny is hooked immediately. He casually spawns I
Speaker 1: guess I could be, but who'd believe it? Huh. Kirsten
Speaker 1: goes on to say he presents such an aura of
Speaker 1: wisdom and maturity. Danny tells her she is spot on.
Speaker 1: Kirsten laughs and blurts out, you are so cute, and
Speaker 1: then she tells Danny she better get back to class,
Speaker 1: and she starts to walk away. Danny tells her to
Speaker 1: wait up. He asks, if you're not doing anything tonight,
Speaker 1: maybe you and I could like hang out. Kirsten squeals, cool,
Speaker 1: do you like slaughter? Danny pauses and responds, I'm basically
Speaker 1: non violent, and Kirsten clarifies slaughter at the band. Danny
Speaker 1: plays it off. Of course, of course I know. I'm
Speaker 1: a major slaughter head.
Speaker 2: No one in this family just be like, no, I've
Speaker 2: never heard of them. You know, Jay does it, Danny
Speaker 2: does it. Everyone is just like, yeah, no, this isn't
Speaker 2: gonna bite me any at all. I totally know.
Speaker 1: What this is, right, No, No one's honest, like everyone
Speaker 1: has to go along with they know nothing about.
Speaker 3: It's evolved very much a show.
Speaker 1: So literally, yeah, it's a sitcom. It's a misunderstanding. Yep. Uh.
Speaker 1: So Kirsten is so excited she has tickets for tonight.
Speaker 1: She says she'll pick him up after her last class
Speaker 1: and he can be her date. Danny smiles, Awesome.
Speaker 3: This feels like a Humge problem with hr.
Speaker 2: The second she was like, oh, thanks for letting me
Speaker 2: do my college internship on the show.
Speaker 3: So Danny's the one responsible for it.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm this feels weird. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: get it. I get it.
Speaker 3: But poor Danny. He's just he's having a vulnerable moment.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: Everyone has just told.
Speaker 1: Me old, Yeah, he's having a pre midlife crisis. He's
Speaker 1: just wanting to I don't know. Yeah, he's wanted to
Speaker 1: capture his youth. And this girl has flattered her quite
Speaker 1: a bit. So next we are in Michelle's classroom. Michelle
Speaker 1: and her classmates are singing wheels on the bus with
Speaker 1: their teacher, Missus Manning, when Uncle Jesse walks in. When
Speaker 1: he hears the song, he tries to sneak back out,
Speaker 1: but Missus Manning spots him. The kids all yell hi,
Speaker 1: Uncle Jesse. Jesse explains he's a little early to pick
Speaker 1: up Michelle, but he can just wait in the corner,
Speaker 1: quiet as a mouse. But Missus Manning has other plans.
Speaker 1: She brings Jesse over to the magic carpet and asks
Speaker 1: if he likes their graduation song. Jesse says, oh, it's okay,
Speaker 1: but Michelle calls his bluff in front of everyone. You
Speaker 1: said it was not cool.
Speaker 3: Michelle's honest, at least, she's very honest.
Speaker 1: She's over her lying phase and she's all right now.
Speaker 2: She's either brutally honest or just feeding you a line.
Speaker 3: You know, there's no in between.
Speaker 1: There's no middle ground. Yep. Jesse sighs, all right, I'm busted.
Speaker 1: The song is a loser. So Missus Manning tells her students,
Speaker 1: perhaps uncle Jesse can teach us a song that's a winner.
Speaker 1: Well done, Missus Manning, well done.
Speaker 3: All right, you bet Jesse, you and your big ideas.
Speaker 1: I love it. Jesse quickly shuts this idea down, saying
Speaker 1: he's too busy for that. He suggests they just pick
Speaker 1: a cool song, and Aaron sneers, I bet you don't
Speaker 1: know any cool songs. Jesse argues that he knows millions
Speaker 1: of them, so Aaron tells him to name one. Jesse
Speaker 1: says Viva Las Vegas, and Aaron states, never heard of it.
Speaker 1: Aaron tells Michelle, your uncle's a monkey head, and Michelle
Speaker 1: argues he's not a monkey head. He knows lots of
Speaker 1: cool songs.
Speaker 3: Also by the Monkeys.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe he's a monkey head, maybe you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Maybe he's just really into monkeys.
Speaker 1: I love the monkeys. That was another that was my
Speaker 1: pre New Kids on the Block. Yeah, I loved the monkeys.
Speaker 1: I'm all about you, boy, band.
Speaker 2: Do you get really excited when you see them at
Speaker 2: Jeff's then?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Mickey, Yeah, yeah I did. I never met him,
Speaker 1: but yeah, no, I did see him from afar.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, now that I know this information, just wait, well,
Speaker 2: I mean I think most of them have passed on. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't think the chances of me telling anything to
Speaker 2: them is probably pretty slim.
Speaker 1: But probably Mickey's still around. Yeah, yeah, he's still around.
Speaker 2: It's Jeff party. I'm watch out, Michael, here comes Mackey.
Speaker 1: It's it's that's you know, Jeff's. That's part of the
Speaker 1: fever dream of going to a Jeff Franklin party is
Speaker 1: that there's just random musicians and acts like people you
Speaker 1: would never expect to be there. It was like Mickey Dolans, like.
Speaker 2: The night of the Small Dinner when Mickey it was
Speaker 2: Mickey Dolan's and I'm.
Speaker 1: Sitting there was like twelve or fourteen of us.
Speaker 2: Around the table, including Mickey Dolans, Bobby Brown, Tom Jones,
Speaker 2: and Priscilla Presley, who I was sitting next.
Speaker 1: To, and I was like, I don't I don't.
Speaker 2: Know joke right, Yeah, they all of these people walk
Speaker 2: into Jeff's house and then yeah, and then comedy ensues.
Speaker 1: It was it was great, It was great. It's just
Speaker 1: a legendary, legendary.
Speaker 3: Back to the monkey Head.
Speaker 1: So back to the Monkeyhead. Aaron and Michelle argue back
Speaker 1: and forth, and Jesse joins in on arguing with the
Speaker 1: preschooler as well. He's nothing if not mature, right. He
Speaker 1: lets his stubbornness get the best of him when he
Speaker 1: eventually volunteers to teach the kids a cool song. Missus
Speaker 1: Manning and the kids cheer for Uncle Jesse and he sighs,
Speaker 1: just call me Uncle monkey Head. The kids do as
Speaker 1: they're told, shouting Uncle monkey Head at the top of
Speaker 1: their lungs. Even Missus Manning calls him the silly nickname
Speaker 1: and tells the kids that Uncle monkey Head will be
Speaker 1: helping with their graduation show. Look what she got into, Jesse,
Speaker 1: Look what you did well because you were a little
Speaker 1: too honest with your opinions. The kids give a rowdy
Speaker 1: round of applause, and then Aaron stands up and shouts
Speaker 1: yet the monkey Head and the preschooler's run up to
Speaker 1: Jesse and attack him. He breaks free from the monkey
Speaker 1: pile for a second to remind the children to watch
Speaker 1: the monkey hair. Huh huh. Next, in the living room,
Speaker 1: Danny is jumping around singing rock and roll all night
Speaker 1: while sporting a neon outfit that still has the tags
Speaker 1: on it. He's dressed, He's ready for Slaughterhouse. The doorbell rings,
Speaker 1: Danny happily answers it, and Kirsten walks in, wearing a
Speaker 1: leather skirt and a red leather jacket with fringe. She
Speaker 1: compliments Danny's pants and he said he's had them for years,
Speaker 1: but she notices the price tag on the pants, and
Speaker 1: Danny lies, oh, I got a good deal and I'm
Speaker 1: darn proud of it. She laughs, and he enthusiastically says,
Speaker 1: let's go get slaughterized. Lets nerds. He's so nerdy, right,
Speaker 1: but she's buying it. I guess she loves it, like
Speaker 1: this is her jam. She likes nerdy men.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's great other than the HR thing, but whatever.
Speaker 1: Right, you know, we're ignoring the red flags for right now.
Speaker 1: Kirsten asks if she can use the bathroom real quick
Speaker 1: to do her hair check, and as she's running away,
Speaker 1: she mentions, oh, my tickets fell through, but don't worry.
Speaker 1: I know an usher who can sneak us in. Danny's
Speaker 1: immediate response is, won't we get in trouble? But when
Speaker 1: Kirsten gives him a confused look, he clarifies, I mean,
Speaker 1: I hope so, because I live for trouble. Huh. She
Speaker 1: screams with excitement and then runs away.
Speaker 2: I'm not being judgy, but the way she ran, well,
Speaker 2: and I know it's part of the character.
Speaker 3: They're like trying to make her look like a child,
Speaker 3: but could.
Speaker 2: You imagine running that way through someone's house that you're
Speaker 2: on a date with.
Speaker 1: Its like you're she's running to the playground.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, you're like, you're running to the playground.
Speaker 2: Like it made us a kind of an uncomfortable situation.
Speaker 1: Even more so where you were like, yeah, you're really deadly, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I know they wanted that was sort of
Speaker 3: the point, but for me, it just I'm like, are
Speaker 3: you okay?
Speaker 1: Do you know how to run? Or d you know Danny?
Speaker 1: You know, Danny's you know what he's blinded by.
Speaker 3: Danny is just as gangly.
Speaker 2: So really this could be actually a match made in
Speaker 2: heaven because I mean, you see Danny run, I'm sure
Speaker 2: he looks much the same.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've seen him dance before.
Speaker 2: Yeah, shooting and everybody this could be that, they could
Speaker 2: they might be fine. It's like those blowlatable flailing arm guys. Yes,
Speaker 2: so that's there's I think it's a family guy episode.
Speaker 2: The wacky flailing inflatable arm whatever. It's like a whole yeah, anyway,
Speaker 2: it's so great.
Speaker 3: I used to have one on my do not like
Speaker 3: a six foot tall one, but like a yeah.
Speaker 1: Yes, I had a giant Yeah, just.
Speaker 2: A giant, six foot tall, wacky, waving and flavable arm
Speaker 2: guy just on my desk.
Speaker 1: Well, you have high ceilings in here, so true. So
Speaker 1: Danny is alone in the living room, so he starts
Speaker 1: to dance and sing again. When the entire family walks
Speaker 1: in the front door to witness this, he looks at
Speaker 1: them flustered and asks, what are you people doing home
Speaker 1: so early? You're supposed to be out eating dinner. Joey says,
Speaker 1: they don't call it fast food for nothing. Dj asks
Speaker 1: her dad, aren't you going on a date tonight? And
Speaker 1: Jesse chimes in and have you looked in a mirror?
Speaker 1: Danny nervously asks, what is this the third degree? You're
Speaker 1: not even supposed to be here. He quickly tries to
Speaker 1: rush them into the kitchen for dessert, but Kirsten runs
Speaker 1: out of the bathroom just in time to meet them
Speaker 1: all blailing away. She says, hi everybody, and they all
Speaker 1: look at her with utter confusion. As they say hi,
Speaker 1: Michelle asks, are you here to play with DJ?
Speaker 3: So uncomfortable?
Speaker 1: Awkward? Wow, that's such a kid thing to do to
Speaker 1: say what.
Speaker 2: It?
Speaker 1: But right?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I was like, and we know that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Michelle's brutally on and she holds back nothing. She's
Speaker 2: not in lier mode right now. She's in I'm gonna
Speaker 2: tell you everything mode.
Speaker 1: Brutal honesty. Yes, Danny decides it's time to interrupt, so
Speaker 1: he tells Michelle, no, she's here to play with me.
Speaker 1: Sus keep getting worse and worse. He introduces the family
Speaker 1: to Kirsten his date, and Kimmy asks, where are you
Speaker 1: taking her?
Speaker 2: Chuckie cheese, Damn Kimmy, damn brutal.
Speaker 1: I got so much satisfaction out of that berry. Oh
Speaker 1: it is good. I loved it. Kirsten tells them Danny
Speaker 1: and I are sneaking into the Slaughter concert. DJ's eyes
Speaker 1: go wide, Dad, You're gonna see slaughter you're so lucky.
Speaker 1: And to make him squirm, Jesse asks Danny what his
Speaker 1: favorite Slaughter song is. Danny hesitates before saying, oh, I
Speaker 1: like their early stuff. But Kimmy breaks it to him.
Speaker 1: Nice try, mister, t that they only have one album.
Speaker 1: Danny glares at her as he explains, I meant early
Speaker 1: in their album first side, first cut, and then he
Speaker 1: tells Aj to take Kimmy up in her room to
Speaker 1: work on the graduation speech. He's just like, go away,
Speaker 1: yeah anyway. By then, Danny tells Michelle to go up
Speaker 1: to her room and work on her graduation song. He
Speaker 1: gets to Stephanie and draws a blank, so she tells
Speaker 1: him what she's gonna do. I'll go upstairs and think
Speaker 1: about how everybody else gets a graduation and I get
Speaker 1: dittaly squat. Such a middle child that is holding this grudge.
Speaker 1: Just a middle child.
Speaker 3: She's constantly overlooked. This child has moved into the bathroom.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is a kid who is you know, just
Speaker 2: I mean, she gets overlooked, but someone who at least
Speaker 2: pays a little attention to her. And again Michelle is
Speaker 2: just rolling solo, you know. So Steph is the kind
Speaker 2: of the next step after that.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, no, she's she has a right to be
Speaker 1: holding a grudge, to be cranky about absolutely. Danny motions
Speaker 1: his date towards the front door, and Joey follows after them.
Speaker 1: He impersonates Walter Brennan, saying do kids run along now?
Speaker 1: And by golly have fun. Kirsten gasps, hey, great, Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 1: They look at her in disbelief, and Danny has to
Speaker 1: break the news that he was actually doing Walter Brennan,
Speaker 1: complete with the little limp and the yep the country
Speaker 1: bumpkin stuff. Kirsten nods, Oh, well, anyway, we won't be
Speaker 1: out too late. I have to be back at the
Speaker 1: sorority house by twelve thirty, and Jesse jokingly extends Danny's
Speaker 1: curfew to twelve forty five. Danny puts on a smile
Speaker 1: and says, wow on a school night.
Speaker 3: Gee.
Speaker 1: Thanks. He tells Kirsten how much these guys love to
Speaker 1: joke around, but when she's out of earshot, he turns
Speaker 1: to them and threatens I'll get you for this when
Speaker 1: they're gone. Joey turns to Becky and Jesse, asking Reagan.
Speaker 3: I mean she wasn't up on the Walter Brennan trivia.
Speaker 1: No, well, no, she's too young. It's not not her generation,
Speaker 1: that's she, but she knows Reagan's regular.
Speaker 2: Sure you know everyone here is like, yeah, who doesn't
Speaker 2: know Walter Brennan.
Speaker 1: Right, especially people under the age of thirty.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Next, we are at the preschool graduation. Everyone is in
Speaker 1: their seats. Steph comments, so this is preschool graduation? Did
Speaker 1: I mention I never got one. I never got a
Speaker 1: kindergarten graduation either, and DJ responds, Well, the important thing
Speaker 1: is you're not bitter.
Speaker 2: Eh.
Speaker 3: Why damn she got a k was that she got
Speaker 3: a kindergarten graduation?
Speaker 1: Why is she got a kindergarten? Yeah, because nobody showed up.
Speaker 1: They forgot. Yeah, maybe they forgot to bring her to
Speaker 1: school that day.
Speaker 2: Oh no, yeah, that might have been what it was
Speaker 2: or Steph or Steph.
Speaker 3: But at least she's dressed like a napkin.
Speaker 1: She's like this Laura Ashley dress. This looks like some
Speaker 1: jam of style. Do you like it? Really great? I've just.
Speaker 2: Oh god, the call, the wide white collar with the lace,
Speaker 2: and the puffy sleeves and the and I think I
Speaker 2: even had tights on.
Speaker 3: Oh I hate tight.
Speaker 1: Hate tights so hot, I'm sweating.
Speaker 2: I refuse to wear any sort of pantyhose tights now.
Speaker 3: Once once my mom.
Speaker 2: Could no longer be like you have to wear tights
Speaker 2: with that, I was like bye again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so uncomfortable. So missus Manning takes the stage alongside Jess.
Speaker 1: Alongside Jesse, she welcomes everyone to the Meadowcrest Preschool graduation
Speaker 1: and tells the crowd that today's program was put together
Speaker 1: by Jesse Kittzopolis. He thanks the crowd, and Becky excitedly
Speaker 1: snaps a picture of him. Jesse announces, let's bring out
Speaker 1: our proud grads, shall we? The graduation song begins to play,
Speaker 1: and the preschoolers walk out in their pastel colored paper
Speaker 1: gowns and flat hats. So cute.
Speaker 3: It was adorable.
Speaker 2: But I have to say that the paper gowns were
Speaker 2: giving me doctor's office.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you took a little like yeah, gen like
Speaker 1: a gender reveal with the pastel. Yeah, but it was
Speaker 1: like no, it was like the you know, the the
Speaker 1: paper on and yeah, like at the gynecologists, yeah, regular.
Speaker 2: Doctor sometimes they have you know, how you put that onto,
Speaker 2: but you know, but yeah, that's I bet it felt
Speaker 2: like they just took that and poked a hole through
Speaker 2: it for the head.
Speaker 1: I bet that's what they did. They just you know,
Speaker 1: they they stole some supplies and the great medical office.
Speaker 2: And I'm sure Sound didn't at all hate the wrestling
Speaker 2: of all of that paper.
Speaker 1: They have to a d r this whole scene, like
Speaker 1: that's that's a lot of right. It's a lot of
Speaker 1: preschoolers in wrestling outfits. That is a nightmare for Sound.
Speaker 1: But stuff is immediately bitter Again, did I mention I
Speaker 1: never got a robe or a flat hat? Real? Danny
Speaker 1: snaps a cute picture of Michelle and the preschoolers line
Speaker 1: up near Jesse. He tells them to go get ready,
Speaker 1: and they run behind the curtain to take the stage.
Speaker 1: Jesse tells the crowd this year, our kids have learned
Speaker 1: about sharing respect, and most importantly, they learned not to
Speaker 1: put their mouths on the drinking fountain. Very important, It's
Speaker 1: super important. Becky holds up the camera and Jesse flashes
Speaker 1: a quick pose. Then he tells the audience that the
Speaker 1: graduated preschoolers are a little older, a little wiser, and
Speaker 1: thanks to him, a lot hipper. He pulls back the
Speaker 1: curtain to introduce Jesse's little Rippers. Each of the kids
Speaker 1: is holding a pretend instrument and Jesse turns on twist
Speaker 1: and shout for them to rock out to.
Speaker 2: You know, I've got to say that I was looking
Speaker 2: for like a clip on rattail, which one of you
Speaker 2: is rattail ripper?
Speaker 1: He should have put mullets on all all these kids all.
Speaker 3: If everyone needed a or a rattail.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, and there needed to be a redheaded one
Speaker 1: to play the part of Gary. Yeah, this is it
Speaker 1: was still very This was adorable. This was very cute,
Speaker 1: so stink and cute. I wonder how long it took
Speaker 1: to film.
Speaker 2: This, because right, a lot of kids don't have to
Speaker 2: take And how much dancing did Adria do?
Speaker 1: Oh you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: You know Adria Later who we have had.
Speaker 2: On the show before, but was the baby wrangler and
Speaker 2: worked with Ashley and Mary Kate and was the person
Speaker 2: who sort of fed them their lines off screen. And
Speaker 2: she would be I'm sure she was right next to
Speaker 2: the camera just twisting and shouting.
Speaker 1: Twisting it. She would go full out yep, right behind
Speaker 1: the camera, just not even insecure about it at all,
Speaker 1: just going for it. I love them, so Michelle is
Speaker 1: the lead singer. The rest of the kids are her
Speaker 1: backup vocals.
Speaker 3: As everyone else is in the world. Basically, the kids.
Speaker 1: End the song by screaming and everyone applauds the performance.
Speaker 1: Michelle introduces them as the class of nineteen ninety one
Speaker 1: and they all throw their hats in the air. This
Speaker 1: is so cute and get a great payoff. Loved this.
Speaker 1: This was just a great scene. Ambitious, but a great scene. Next,
Speaker 1: we are all back in Joey's room and all the
Speaker 1: adults are there when Danny calls Stephanie in. When she arrives,
Speaker 1: Joey proudly announces Stephanie Judith Tanner, this is your graduation ceremony.
Speaker 1: All of them start to sing the graduation song as
Speaker 1: Danny puts on a bathrobe around her and Jesse places
Speaker 1: a makeshift flat hat on her head. Steph is be
Speaker 1: She tells them this is a dream come true and asks,
Speaker 1: how did you ever know I wanted this? Gee?
Speaker 3: Did I mention it?
Speaker 1: Like you read my mind? First, they present to her
Speaker 1: a graduation trophy. She realizes it's a bowling trophy, but
Speaker 1: Joey explains, oh, well, that man is proudly bowling his
Speaker 1: way into the fourth grade. Then Becky hands her a
Speaker 1: rapped press and steph nervously asks are these bowling shoes?
Speaker 1: And Becky tells her to open it to find out.
Speaker 1: She opens the box and gasps it's her very first
Speaker 1: pair of high heels. Yes, I mean using the word
Speaker 1: high liberally, the tiny little half an inch or whatever.
Speaker 1: But it's so cute.
Speaker 3: Oh good. The neighbor's drilling something.
Speaker 1: Oh good, are you just right here?
Speaker 3: And we're good now?
Speaker 1: But are we good now?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I didn't hear it from okay, good wherever I am
Speaker 1: and we're fine.
Speaker 3: He was just momentary.
Speaker 1: Stephanie is ecstatic. She thanks everyone for the gift, and
Speaker 1: they shower her with hugs andress.
Speaker 2: Do you remember, though, like being so excited, Like when
Speaker 2: your mom finally was like, okay, fine, you can wear
Speaker 2: like a little you know, like a one inch heel
Speaker 2: for an inch and a half.
Speaker 1: Oh. I felt so grown up, so grown up. That
Speaker 1: is the pinnacle of being grown, right, is wearing your
Speaker 1: first pair and your first brawl.
Speaker 2: And now I would just be like, don't do it,
Speaker 2: don't do it. Yeah, for either one those things, it's
Speaker 2: a trap.
Speaker 1: Yes, don't don't save forever, right, don't shave your legs,
Speaker 1: you know, all the stuff that you like want to
Speaker 1: do as a kid.
Speaker 2: Like, then you get older you're like, oh, this is
Speaker 2: really terrible and time consuming.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, you're like, I never want to wear heels again.
Speaker 1: But but your first pair little webs heels. Oh, by
Speaker 1: the thing, super cute, very very grown up. Yes. Danny
Speaker 1: hears loud rock music playing in the next room. He
Speaker 1: runs over to the girls room, where DJ and Kirsten
Speaker 1: are dancing to the music. He scolds DJ and reminds
Speaker 1: her she isn't the only person in this house, and
Speaker 1: then he spots Kirsten right beside her. She laughs at
Speaker 1: him and says, whoa, you sound just like my dad.
Speaker 3: That's wo wow, that's what every guy wants to hear.
Speaker 1: Oh, es, this is she's ny, very bright, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't she's kind of probably like twenty or twenty one,
Speaker 1: you know, she's not she hasn't had a whole lot
Speaker 1: of world experience.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't say that.
Speaker 1: Just don't say that. That's wrong on many levels. Danny,
Speaker 1: for some reason, is not embarrassed. He tells her, well,
Speaker 1: maybe that's because I am a dad, And that's how
Speaker 1: dads sound when they talk to kids, right, this is.
Speaker 3: Like there's just some like give us yeah, no, I
Speaker 3: don't even know. I don't even know. Like it's not
Speaker 3: passive aggressive, Like it wasn't played.
Speaker 1: That way at all.
Speaker 3: But when you like read it, you're like.
Speaker 1: Oh damn, that was hard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, both of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're old. Well you're a child. It's a
Speaker 1: lover's quarrel here. So Kirsten explains that she came by
Speaker 1: early to give DJ a tape and figured that she
Speaker 1: and Danny could get some pizza before the dance. Danny
Speaker 1: asks his daughter if she could give him a second
Speaker 1: with Kirsten. DJ doesn't argue, but she begs Kirsten to
Speaker 1: tell her where she buys her clothes before the dance.
Speaker 1: This high school. Yeah, DJ's like, hey, I got a friend,
Speaker 1: you know, this is sharing fashion tips. Kirsten suggests the
Speaker 1: next time she goes shopping, they can go together. DJ's
Speaker 1: exclaims that this is great. I finally have a friend
Speaker 1: with a car a transportation motivation. DJ leaves the room
Speaker 1: and Danny initiates the breakup conversation. He tells Kirsten, I
Speaker 1: think you're a wonderful girl, I mean woman, I mean person.
Speaker 1: But look, you're twenty one and I'm thirty three. Kirsten
Speaker 1: cuts him off. Are you trying to say you don't
Speaker 1: want to see me again? And Danny nervously says no, no, no,
Speaker 1: absolutely not. Yes. Kirsten tries to tell him that age
Speaker 1: doesn't matter and that she really likes him. Danny nods,
Speaker 1: I like you too, but I haven't been completely honest
Speaker 1: with you. I'm not really a slaughterhead, and I hated
Speaker 1: sneaking into that concert. I mailed them a check today.
Speaker 2: After your own heart aby, like I am Danny Tanner
Speaker 2: also ninety.
Speaker 3: I can look at him writing a check.
Speaker 1: I don't care, like it's like I love this.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: That's the right thing to do. Write it well, pay
Speaker 1: them back. But yeah, you write a check, why not
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one, I'm living in the nineties. Uh So
Speaker 1: Danny was hoping that they could still be friends. Kirston
Speaker 1: says she'd like that, but before they become just friends,
Speaker 1: she decides to lean in and kiss him right way
Speaker 1: to make it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just.
Speaker 1: That this is an awkward place I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: To bring up, because he's also just been like, you're
Speaker 2: way too young for me, and then he's like totally,
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: Now it's just the whole thing. I was like, And
Speaker 3: I'm also looking.
Speaker 2: You know, the eyes of an adult woman at this point,
Speaker 2: like it's you know crue.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's He tries he like tries to dad
Speaker 1: her at first, and she tries to kiss.
Speaker 2: Is accord, sort of as the Senorita Mosley Oh interaction.
Speaker 1: You know, Danny needs a better picker. Man, He's like
Speaker 1: not picking the right way to go after. Man, where's Vicky, Like,
Speaker 1: let's get Vicky. Let's get Vicky here. When Kirsten leaves
Speaker 1: and says goodbye to Danny, he stares at the door
Speaker 1: and whimpers in defeat. Now the ironic thing here is that,
Speaker 1: so there's twelve years between Kirsten and Danny. Then Bob's
Speaker 1: wife Kelly, there's twenty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was what is I was like, this is
Speaker 2: the time of you know, the tales all the time.
Speaker 2: Everybody always said, you know, yeah, because they're they're you
Speaker 2: know what, I'm not going to trash anybody on this
Speaker 2: show because I'm just going to keep digging myself a hole.
Speaker 1: No, I'm not trashing anybody I'm just saying it's no.
Speaker 2: I just meant I was going to say because men
Speaker 2: are typically incredibly immature and don't grow up until they're
Speaker 2: like forty. But then I was like, oh, that mightn't
Speaker 2: you know, not apply to some of the male audience
Speaker 2: listening to our show. And then I thought that there's
Speaker 2: probably not a huge male audience listening to our show.
Speaker 2: But then I said I'm going to shut up and
Speaker 2: started talking.
Speaker 3: Now stop.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. But
Speaker 1: there's also a difference between a twenty one year old
Speaker 1: and then you know, Kelly was like thirty something when
Speaker 1: they met. So that's totally different life stages, way more
Speaker 1: appropriate later in life than fresh out of college.
Speaker 3: She's not even out of college. She's doing an internship.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she's still in college. That's right.
Speaker 2: And I would like to say that Manny has said
Speaker 2: that we don't mature ever, So okay, I didn't say it.
Speaker 1: I did say has timed in. There you have it, pemple.
Speaker 1: So next in the kitchen, Danny is playing his acoustic
Speaker 1: guitar as he sings about a young girl. DJ walks
Speaker 1: up behind him, wearing her graduation cap and gown and asks,
Speaker 1: are you going through some kind of crisis. Danny admits
Speaker 1: it's a mini crisis, but he'll be fine. Danny looks
Speaker 1: at Dj and smiles, I can't believe my little baby
Speaker 1: is graduating. She reminds him. It's not until tomorrow, but
Speaker 1: today she has to practice reading a speech with a
Speaker 1: tassel in her face. She asks Danny if he'd like
Speaker 1: to hear it, and he says yes. She recites the
Speaker 1: first half of her speech, which focuses on their next
Speaker 1: journey into high school. Danny asks, what about the last
Speaker 1: fourteen years? Sounds like you're saying your life hasn't even
Speaker 1: started yet. DJ feels like it hasn't. When she gets
Speaker 1: to high school, she'll get to go out on dates,
Speaker 1: stay up really late, backpack across Europe with her boyfriend.
Speaker 3: She's got ideas.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's got plans. You know, she's a firstborn type a.
Speaker 1: She has planned out her life. Danny stops her, saying
Speaker 1: they can fight about that later, but his point is
Speaker 1: don't miss out on what's happening right now just because
Speaker 1: you're waiting for something better to come along. You can't
Speaker 1: live for the future, just like you can't live in
Speaker 1: the past. DJ clarifies, but I'm not living in the past.
Speaker 1: Danny nods, I know you're not, but I was. I
Speaker 1: was trying to pretend I was twenty one again. That
Speaker 1: was pretty silly, huh you, J smiles. I have to admit,
Speaker 1: Kimmy and I were laughing at you in those neon
Speaker 1: pants for hours. They both laugh at the memory and
Speaker 1: give each other a big hug. Then Steph comes strutting
Speaker 1: in wearing her new high heels. She shows them off
Speaker 1: to her dad, saying, you can't believe how cool it
Speaker 1: is up here, like a whole, entire, whole entire. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're so tall.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Danny's like, I have no idea what it's like
Speaker 3: to be taller.
Speaker 1: She walks over to Danny and gives him a big hug,
Speaker 1: and then Michelle walks in wearing her pjs. She sniffs
Speaker 1: the air and asks, do I smell chocolate cake?
Speaker 3: The nose of a bloodhound?
Speaker 1: She's got that, Yeah, she's got the note of a
Speaker 1: sugar sugar bencher. Danny smiles, Yes, you do. Weren't you
Speaker 1: in bed sound asleep? Michelle tells him my nose woke
Speaker 1: me up.
Speaker 2: She heard the It was trying to get that plastic
Speaker 2: top off the cake thing. You know, there's no quiet
Speaker 2: way to do that, and it just yeah, yeah, that's
Speaker 2: what yeh, that's.
Speaker 1: What she heard. That could wake up for really, everyone's
Speaker 1: gonna know. She walks up to Danny and he places
Speaker 1: her on his lap, giving her a big kiss. He
Speaker 1: looks around at his girls and says, I may not
Speaker 1: be twenty one anymore, but thirty three is feeling pretty
Speaker 1: good right about. Oh oh, He asks out loud, can
Speaker 1: life be any better than this? And Michelle answers, it
Speaker 1: would be better if I had some chocolate cake, And
Speaker 1: that's her show. Such a sweet ending with his The
Speaker 1: three the four of you together is a sweet little ding.
Speaker 2: And it's sort of you know, we're at the end
Speaker 2: of season four, so we're setting up that, you know,

Speaker 3: It's Steph starting fourth grade.
