Speaker 1: Hello, he Lou helleu, he Lou good, Andrea Barber, Joe,
Speaker 1: what are you, sweeten?
Speaker 2: Oh that was an extended cut.
Speaker 3: I like, I am awake, I am caffeinated.
Speaker 2: Am proud.
Speaker 3: Thank you. You know.
Speaker 1: I have to say, Andrea, I've weirdly become more of
Speaker 1: a morning person. I'm not now, don't get don't get crazy,
Speaker 1: don't get crazy. I'm not like your version probably of
Speaker 1: morning person. But I am definitely I've gotten myself in
Speaker 1: a routine, like over the past I don't know, like
Speaker 1: little for a month or so at getting up early,
Speaker 1: like having a routine, drinking my water, getting my exercise.
Speaker 2: Like, so I am. I have been inspired by you. Aby.
Speaker 3: Your journey in middle age is well on.
Speaker 2: It's great.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, so this is right. I wake up
Speaker 1: with the sun at seven in the morning. I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, well, let's do this now.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, oh, time to do your Crossford puzzles
Speaker 3: with your coffee and do your world I do.
Speaker 1: I do word searches with my coffee. Actually, thank you
Speaker 1: very much. They're like, it's a mindfulness word search. So
Speaker 1: I'm looking for you know, words, Yeah, mindfulness.
Speaker 3: Okay, Wow, that's a.
Speaker 2: Good person, something to brag about on that on the podcast.
Speaker 1: But you know what, I I just wanted to say
Speaker 1: it because I found I found dare I say a
Speaker 1: little bit of joy in the morning. But it's also
Speaker 1: it's also because the sun is up earlier. I've decided
Speaker 1: that whenever we turn the clocks back, I'm I'm going.
Speaker 2: To have to fly south.
Speaker 1: I don't know how much further south, somewhere towards the equator,
Speaker 1: the equator, but I I I can't. I can't live
Speaker 1: like this. I can't live with the with the four
Speaker 1: thirty PM. I'm in heaven right now because it's like
Speaker 1: it's p forty five and it's still light outside, and
Speaker 1: I know it's only getting longer.
Speaker 3: So yeah, oh yeah, this is We're in the heyday, right,
Speaker 3: We're in your head the days a day long.
Speaker 2: I am, That's what I'm saying. I am.
Speaker 1: I One am realizing that my seasonal effective disorder is
Speaker 1: no joke, because all of a sudden spring came and
Speaker 1: I'm back to life. And two, I am now a
Speaker 1: migrating bird and I will have to leave several months
Speaker 1: out of the year, so I disappear and I am suddenly
Speaker 1: podcasting from some beach on a tropical location.
Speaker 2: You'll know why.
Speaker 1: It is just it's because I had to. I literally
Speaker 1: had my depression was gonna win.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah for the winter. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm a I am I'm I'm a snowbird. I'm an
Speaker 1: I'm an early snowbird. I'm just leave that middle age
Speaker 1: is hitting me and I'm like, you know what I
Speaker 1: need to I need to travel away from the cold.
Speaker 3: You need to migrate, yep, I do I do you
Speaker 3: need to? Did you watch this eclipse that happened yesday?
Speaker 1: You're one of the best part of it. At twelve
Speaker 1: twenty four, I went, oh.
Speaker 2: The eclipse like it was over. But when it ended
Speaker 2: at twelve.
Speaker 1: Twenty two, Joey, you missed it by you don't know
Speaker 1: what I.
Speaker 3: Was for some reason two hours? How did you miss? Hey?
Speaker 2: I know what I well what the sun was still out.
Speaker 3: Here sort of Well, in your defense, it was not
Speaker 3: as exciting in Los Angeles as it was everywhere.
Speaker 1: It's not if you're not in the path of totality.
Speaker 1: It's not as like, oh my gosh. You're like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's all an eclipse, which is super cool, and my
Speaker 1: little nerd brain thinks it's awesome. But yeah, we weren't
Speaker 1: in the path of totality like Texas or whatever. We
Speaker 1: were like, which would have been super cool to see.
Speaker 1: Do you remember Tara Canvas's makeup artists, She and her
Speaker 1: daughter and Jeffrey's daughter.
Speaker 2: They she is a huge like star.
Speaker 1: What would you say, constellation cosmology? Not constellation, constellations the
Speaker 1: shaping of stars, but cosmology would be hold on, I'll
Speaker 1: get really random here, but yeah, I don't like cosmology anyway.
Speaker 1: She likes the stars. So, but she has traveled to
Speaker 1: go and see eclipses. And I was listening to some
Speaker 1: story on like NPR or something with real nerd alert
Speaker 1: be careful.
Speaker 2: But this this older.
Speaker 1: Gentleman who has flown all over the world to see
Speaker 1: nearly as like as many eclipses as he could get
Speaker 1: to in his lifetime, like total eclipses.
Speaker 2: So I think it's very cool. But I missed it
Speaker 2: by two.
Speaker 1: Minutes, so of course that's yeah, but you know, you
Speaker 1: can't look at it. I probably stupidly would have been like,
Speaker 1: oh what if you can still see ah? And then
Speaker 1: that's it, and then you know, my eye.
Speaker 3: I get a little resentful because they hype this thing up.
Speaker 3: They're like, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity, once
Speaker 3: in a lifetime solar eclipse. I'm like, well until next year,
Speaker 3: Like what about the one six months ago? What about
Speaker 3: the one in twenty seventeen. It's not once in a
Speaker 3: lifetime if it happens every soul.
Speaker 1: But you know, well, true, but I believe it was
Speaker 1: the amount and of totality, was it not? And also
Speaker 1: the fact that it was over a populated area, because
Speaker 1: we have eclipses all the time, but they happen over
Speaker 1: the North Pole or Antarctic or not probably that because
Speaker 1: they wouldn't be that high up, but over the oceans
Speaker 1: and stuff like that people.
Speaker 2: Don't get to see. But I think there was something
Speaker 2: about this one that was well, yeah, I think because
Speaker 2: it was a totally it was a total.
Speaker 3: Eclipse for a lot of the eastern board of the
Speaker 3: United States, So.
Speaker 2: Right, right, and total eclipses are not.
Speaker 1: We have a lot of partial eclipse, but we do
Speaker 1: not have a lot of total eclipses.
Speaker 3: We need to change the verbiage, then we need to
Speaker 3: change the I am a person of words.
Speaker 2: What do you want to change? Well, there's a lot
Speaker 2: of time eclipse.
Speaker 1: Yeah, total eclipse is potentially a once in a lifetime
Speaker 1: than because.
Speaker 2: We don't have personal eclipses.
Speaker 3: So for the people in Texas and all the other
Speaker 3: states that got total total, a total eclipse, but once
Speaker 3: I don't for them, it wasn't for me. I'll see
Speaker 3: another one some day or partial, maybe a total if
Speaker 3: I travel some day.
Speaker 2: But the part but what you're.
Speaker 1: What I feel like you're failing to understand is that
Speaker 1: a partial and a total are different, and totals don't
Speaker 1: happen all the time.
Speaker 3: Okay, well in the once in a lifetime total eclipse,
Speaker 3: well I think happens again in twenty two years, so
Speaker 3: it's not once in a lifetime, but it's it's well
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 1: Maybe if you're like ninety, I haven't gone out and
Speaker 1: seen one yet, that is probably once in your.
Speaker 3: Life, once in that lifetime.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, it depends on how long a lifetime
Speaker 2: we're talking.
Speaker 1: This is true, and with advances these days, we could
Speaker 1: be seeing three four eclipses.
Speaker 2: In a lifetime, all of the eclipses, all of them forever.
Speaker 3: Swee.
Speaker 1: I'm watching three body problem, which is why I'm also
Speaker 1: like very into my little space brain.
Speaker 3: This is this is the new our new segment. This
Speaker 3: is Jody's random facts of uselessness.
Speaker 2: This is I creased to have.
Speaker 1: I had a random board when I lived with some
Speaker 1: friends in a communal living in Malibu.
Speaker 2: We'll just call it that.
Speaker 1: But I had a to do without what you will,
Speaker 1: But I know I had a board and every morning
Speaker 1: I had it said Jody's random Snapple fact of the day,
Speaker 1: and I would write a random fact on the board
Speaker 1: every day.
Speaker 3: So it this fits.
Speaker 1: I can't believe I just admitted that all publicly, and
Speaker 1: we should probably do our show now because people are like, please,
Speaker 1: I can't listen to these nerds any longer.
Speaker 3: Before they unsubscribe. Let's get into the recap.
Speaker 2: Please, right, and my voice is gone. I went out
Speaker 2: two late nights in a row.
Speaker 3: Oh no, you can't do that.
Speaker 1: On Friday night, and I had the strangest interactions with
Speaker 1: people I cannot me and two of my friends. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: three of my friends went out. I can't even begin
Speaker 1: to describe. I posted it on my stories and I
Speaker 1: was like, I.
Speaker 3: Don't get to check your stories, okay.
Speaker 1: All it said was like, I don't even I can't
Speaker 1: even begin to describe this. Let's just say it involved magicians,
Speaker 1: Raphael and his exes, me having an allergy attack and
Speaker 1: being offered all various sorts of substance, and like, I
Speaker 1: was like this and people were like you want I'm.
Speaker 2: Like no, I'm literally sneezing.
Speaker 1: But it was and then and then I can't even
Speaker 1: but it was a wild night. And I still don't
Speaker 1: think I've recovered, and I don't have my voice back yet.
Speaker 1: So wow, because I'm a morning person, now you're a
Speaker 1: morning person.
Speaker 3: It can't go out late.
Speaker 1: Now I can't sleep in. I slept till like ten,
Speaker 1: and I felt like it was two thirty.
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, See, if you're gonna be a morning person,
Speaker 3: you have to commit to the early beddome.
Speaker 2: It was the eclipse.
Speaker 1: I was staying up, you see, the once in a
Speaker 1: lifetime eclipse that I missed by two minutes.
Speaker 3: It's really then you.
Speaker 1: Just kept staying up all night just to like maybe,
Speaker 1: and I haven't slept since then.
Speaker 3: Well, this will be a great recap. This will be fully.
Speaker 1: It's gonna hinged, as opposed to partially, well, it's totally
Speaker 1: total unhinged. Is one life, once in a lifetime event.
Speaker 1: Partial unhinged is a little more common. That's eclips Yes,
Speaker 1: the eclipse, right, there's a total unhinged and partial partial unhinged.
Speaker 3: Okay, well, let's try to stick to partial unhinged in
Speaker 3: solidarity with our partial eclipse.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it was a total eclipse. We need to
Speaker 2: be totally.
Speaker 3: Unpartial for us. For me, like, I'm very self centered,
Speaker 3: I'm talking about from my viewpoint.
Speaker 1: So literally, the world, it literally revolves around you, which
Speaker 1: is why you always sell the partial eclipse.
Speaker 3: Okay, got it, that is the tld R. Yes, the
Speaker 3: world revolves around me anyways, but let's get into it.
Speaker 2: Let's do it.
Speaker 3: Welcome back to how Rude Tanerto's I am your partially
Speaker 3: unhinged co host Andrea Barber and I.
Speaker 1: May or may not be totally unhinged for once in
Speaker 1: my lifetime and yours, and I'm Jody Sweeten.
Speaker 3: Today we are discussing season two, episode fifteen, titled Pal Joey,
Speaker 3: and this title refers to the nineteen fifty seven film

Speaker 3: bed as she teaches Michelle a lesson. Now you're never
Speaker 3: too young to learn who's cute and who's not. She
Speaker 3: stands up and introduces Michelle to a poster of George Michael.
Speaker 3: Michelle exclaims, cute, Like George Michael looked hot. I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: like that post was hot.
Speaker 2: He was so hot. He was so hot. You know,
Speaker 2: he just was hiding his true self, which was a shame. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but starting with Wham.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was hot. He was hot. Man.
Speaker 1: Just my husband's actually a loved Wham as a kid.
Speaker 1: He was like it was like one of his first
Speaker 1: albums that he bought.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh so good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Wham he was it him and Patrick's cuazy yep,
Speaker 1: and George Michael. I think what I told the story
Speaker 1: was a concert that went to with Candice.
Speaker 2: Mmm w Yeah that's right. Oh that's the first concert.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh love that. So DJ tells Michelle that George
Speaker 3: Michael was cute when he was with Wham, but he's
Speaker 3: graduated to rad. Michelle grins rad yep. Then DJ shows
Speaker 3: her a picture of Michael J. Fox and says, the
Speaker 3: bad news is he's married. The good news is he's
Speaker 3: our size.
Speaker 2: Oh I know he is.
Speaker 1: He's a petite man, he is, but I had to laugh.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, it's George Michael J.
Speaker 2: Fox.
Speaker 3: Oh y Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of run repetition here.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah. DJ lays out her magazines and tells Michelle
Speaker 3: to pick the cutest guy. Uh. Michelle points down at
Speaker 3: the book in her lap and says big Bird. DJ
Speaker 3: questions her answer and points out, no one even knows
Speaker 3: if he's a guy. Michelle leans down and kisses the book.
Speaker 2: Very cute teaser, Yeah, non binary, big bird.
Speaker 3: Do you remember when we saw Big Bird? We were
Speaker 3: walking through New York Central Park who I remember, and
Speaker 3: we saw a picture, saw big Bird.
Speaker 2: We saw Big Bird and was it Oscar? Yeah?
Speaker 3: There was somebody there was, yeah, a sidekick.
Speaker 1: There was a side Yeah, in in Central Park.
Speaker 2: They were puppets obviously hobby.
Speaker 1: Sorry ruining for anyone, but yeah, it wasn't just actual
Speaker 1: Big Bird and Oscar like sitting in the park.
Speaker 2: There were you know people.
Speaker 1: But I we were walking around and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, we have to get our picture and
Speaker 1: you were like what.
Speaker 2: I was like, it's big Bird. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm a huge Sesame Street fan, So I actually agree
Speaker 1: with Michelle on this one.
Speaker 2: I think Big Bird's kind of.
Speaker 3: Cute, kind of cute. I'm and I'm still wondering why
Speaker 3: that why Big Bird was in Central Park. I didn't
Speaker 3: think it was like a buskert asking for money. I
Speaker 3: don't know if it.
Speaker 2: Was, because like a Sesame Street is a New York show.
Speaker 3: So he was just walking around, like just walking around
Speaker 3: Central Parks taking selfie for free.
Speaker 2: No, it's not for free. We gave him money. I
Speaker 2: get like ten bucks. Oh yeah that's what.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if there's a person in a costume and they're like, hey,
Speaker 1: you want a picture, it.
Speaker 2: Ate for free. That's what I thought.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't remember never seeing the Spider Man's
Speaker 1: on the Hollywood and Highland.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, there's nothing for you about those.
Speaker 3: There was no like little bucket or hat out where
Speaker 3: you could throw your chain.
Speaker 2: Threw it in Oscar's trash can. I think I did.
Speaker 3: The trash can was the tip jar? Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think I was like, here you go.
Speaker 2: Oscar slipped them a little.
Speaker 3: You know, it was very nice, very nice of you.
Speaker 3: I thought they were doing this out of the generosity
Speaker 3: of their hearts.
Speaker 2: Maybe they were.
Speaker 1: Maybe you know what, maybe when we're old, someday we
Speaker 1: will take over as I'll be Oscar, you can be
Speaker 1: big Bird.
Speaker 2: We'll sit in the park and we'll just see what happens.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see who comes up and asks for selfie
Speaker 3: or just wants to chat. Okay, all right, Well that
Speaker 3: that here we go partially unhinged. It's already starting. We're
Speaker 3: knocking out of the teaser yet.
Speaker 2: Boy.
Speaker 3: So we roll the opening credits, and then we're in
Speaker 3: the kitchen where Michelle and Danny are mopping the floor
Speaker 3: together while standing on paper towels to ensure a perfectly
Speaker 3: clean floor. Danny announces it's time to teach her the
Speaker 3: Tanner family motto, clean is good and dirt is bad.
Speaker 3: Michelle repeats after him.
Speaker 2: It feels like a like a a motto could get
Speaker 2: done a.
Speaker 1: Little more with that, if that's gonna be your family motto,
Speaker 1: Like the thing that is stitched on your coat of
Speaker 1: arms on your family crest.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it needed like a rhyme or like yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: it needed something else.
Speaker 2: It felt a little thrown together, but it's fine. It's fine.
Speaker 3: It's part of Danny's manipulation and trying to manipulate the
Speaker 3: girls into thinking it's one way to hold to have
Speaker 3: a house.
Speaker 1: The family crest has two mops over it and like
Speaker 1: a bucket, and then it's just yeah, the coat of
Speaker 1: arms is good and dirt is bad. Yeah, and it's
Speaker 1: like some rubber gloves in one corner of the crest.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's an amazing crest family crest.
Speaker 1: I really yeah, I feel like someone should draw the
Speaker 1: Tanner family crest.
Speaker 3: Someone is right now, right now, and.
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see it. Yep, that's yeah.
Speaker 3: Please tag us in your phone because we want to
Speaker 3: see these drawings. So Jesse and Joey's strolling through the
Speaker 3: back door laughing a.
Speaker 2: It's a power laugh, power house. That was a joke
Speaker 2: that Dave used to do.
Speaker 1: He would just do that loud laugh and called it
Speaker 1: a power laugh, and then he'd end in the saying
Speaker 1: full house that.
Speaker 2: But he'd do it when we were out in public.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, just to draw attention to himself for no reason. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that brought back a core memory. When I heard them
Speaker 3: doing that laugh, I was like, oh, here we go.
Speaker 3: They worked it into the show. Oh my, yes, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: So Danny stops them. Wait, he just cleaned the floor.
Speaker 3: Jesse sarcastically suggests that if they hang a vine above
Speaker 3: the door, they could swing into the house like Tarzan.
Speaker 3: Joey does allowed Tarzan call, and the boys jump from
Speaker 3: the doorway onto the carpet. Jesse slings the paper towel
Speaker 3: rolled down the stairs to prevent them from touching the floor.
Speaker 3: Joey jokes, don't get any dirt on those paper towels.
Speaker 3: They both get a kick out of this and head
Speaker 3: down stairs and Dave is stepping everywhere except the paper towel.
Speaker 2: The paper towel, right, which was a very Joey thing
Speaker 2: to do.
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, that tracks. Also, did you notice
Speaker 3: the baby gate is conveniently taken off of this? It's like,
Speaker 3: I just conveniently placed to give me right.
Speaker 1: Well the one time, the baby's in the room too,
Speaker 1: and we're like, way, don't need the gates.
Speaker 2: She's here, it's here.
Speaker 3: The joke has to work, the baby, the baby gate
Speaker 3: had to go. So Danny smiles and tells Michelle, look
Speaker 3: at those nutty guys. If it wasn't for me, Joey
Speaker 3: and Jesse would never have met. Now they're inseparable. Isn't
Speaker 3: life ironic? And Michelle agrees yep. Then Steph, Harry, and
Speaker 3: DJ arrive home and Michelle yells, stop dirt bad. Before
Speaker 3: they enter the kitchen, DJ realizes that Danny tot Michelle
Speaker 3: the Tanner family motto.
Speaker 2: Danny, so this is a well known thing.
Speaker 3: It's well known. Yeah, it doesn't rhyme, but it's well known.
Speaker 3: Danny says, he's very very I'm so glad. Danny says
Speaker 3: he's working on a new family motto, don't make fun
Speaker 3: of Dad until you can afford your own apartment. That now,
Speaker 3: that's a good, good one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, does rhyme, but also does it rhyme, doesn't rhyme,
Speaker 1: it's you know what, Maybe he should hand it over
Speaker 1: to Jesse and Joey and they should come up with
Speaker 1: a jingle.
Speaker 2: Yeah they.
Speaker 1: Jingle.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, that's a much better idea. They could write
Speaker 3: something much better than these these gems that Dan keeps
Speaker 3: throwing out.
Speaker 2: I will help with the family motto. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So Danny picks up Michelle and slides over to the
Speaker 3: kids on his paper towels. He tells them these are
Speaker 3: for you. As he steps out of the room, Steph,
Speaker 3: DJ and Harry step right over the towels, walking directly
Speaker 3: on the kitchen floor. Steph brings Harry over to the
Speaker 3: counter to start their math homework. Harry sighs, forget it.
Speaker 3: I can't learn subtraction. I'm going to quit school and
Speaker 3: join the boy Scouts. Stuff judges was like a good plan, Yeah,
Speaker 3: but stuff judges him. She says, I don't want my
Speaker 3: boyfriend to be a first grade dropout. How embarrassing. Steph's
Speaker 3: got stand.
Speaker 2: You know, stefs. Yeah. Steph's like, no, Harry, this is
Speaker 2: this is not gonna work.
Speaker 3: Yeah. DJ tries to help, using oranges as an example,
Speaker 3: to teach him subtraction in real life. This this brought
Speaker 3: me right back to the time I got notes on oranges.
Speaker 3: How that's what's fuller house?
Speaker 2: More oranges?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I got can you many notes repeatedly about
Speaker 3: how to handle oranges and how to cut them on
Speaker 3: the kitchen island? Well, this is crucial, crucial orange, crucial.
Speaker 2: Crucial, crucial orange manipulation.
Speaker 3: Yeah, crucial orange.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah it was.
Speaker 1: There was a storyline happening amongst you and the cutting
Speaker 1: of the of the oranges. Jimmy had a very vivid
Speaker 1: memory that was coming back back.
Speaker 3: To the oranges. Harry understands this subtraction and he compliments DJ. Thanks, DJ,
Speaker 3: you are the smartest woman in the world. And Steph
Speaker 3: sarcastically adds, oh yeah, four minus two real genius, which.
Speaker 1: Is sort of an insult to Harry really because like
Speaker 1: she's like, yeah, you didn't get this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's genius, buddy.
Speaker 3: It's like a double insult to DJ and to Harry.
Speaker 1: But four minus two I feel like, by the time
Speaker 1: here are they, they're in first grade.
Speaker 3: Now you should have learned that in kindergarten. You know,
Speaker 3: first graders need to know ye, yeah, four minus two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's okay.
Speaker 3: Harry proceeds to ask DJ where babies come from, and
Speaker 3: she tells him to stick to fruit. Yeah. Don't just
Speaker 3: don't go down that path, hany can't.
Speaker 2: You can't even subtract. You don't need to be Yeah,
Speaker 2: you need to be adding things together.
Speaker 3: Sure. Uh. And in the next scene, we are in
Speaker 3: Jesse and Joey's new office, also known as Joey's Room.
Speaker 3: Joey and Jesse toast to having their first cup of
Speaker 3: coffee in their new office, Double J Creative Services. They
Speaker 3: immediately wins at the taste of the coffee, and Joey notes,
Speaker 3: next time, we got to remember to plug that coffee
Speaker 3: machine in.
Speaker 1: Now I have a question, yes, because don't they work
Speaker 1: for the company, for the ad company mister Malatesta when.
Speaker 3: Mister Malatesta's employees.
Speaker 1: Yeah? Right, So how are they Double J Creative Services?
Speaker 1: Are they a little like company within a company.
Speaker 3: I I think this is just for them, Like, I
Speaker 3: don't think this is anything official. They haven't filed anything
Speaker 3: or LLC yet.
Speaker 1: It's just they're doing this just as they sign built.
Speaker 2: But that's just for their own.
Speaker 3: It's a Tanner House there's always a banner, there's you know.
Speaker 1: It's true, there is always are very big on banners
Speaker 1: and merch.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you bring up a good point that they
Speaker 3: are employees of mister malt.
Speaker 2: I was like, wait a minute, yeah, I think they're
Speaker 2: okay anyway, all right.
Speaker 3: Uh So, since they're using Joey's room as their new office,
Speaker 3: Jesse thinks they should update the decor. Right now, the
Speaker 3: room has a hockey dummy puppets nailed to the wall,
Speaker 3: and mister potato head Joey thinks it makes the place fun,
Speaker 3: but Jesse doesn't see it that way. Eventually, Joey wins
Speaker 3: him over with his pee Wee Herman impression. Danny walks
Speaker 3: downstairs with Michelle and compliments with the two of them
Speaker 3: have done with their office. Jesse and Joey both laugh,
Speaker 3: imitating pee Weee together like this is grating. Like if
Speaker 3: there's one impression I don't love, it's the pee Wee Herman.
Speaker 2: But pee Wee was big at the time.
Speaker 3: I know, I know.
Speaker 2: Do you remember do you remember going to pee Wee's playhouse? No?
Speaker 2: Do we go to pe Don't know?
Speaker 1: I did because my stand in at the time, and
Speaker 1: I feel terrible. I forget her name. I want to
Speaker 1: say Ashley, No.
Speaker 2: Maybe not.
Speaker 1: Anyway, she was married to one of the puppeteers on
Speaker 1: Pee Wee Herman, and so we got to go to
Speaker 1: set one day, but we were definitely told to not
Speaker 1: speak to pee Wee.
Speaker 3: Oh really Okay, so it's not Yeah, well he was
Speaker 3: in the in the zone. You know, he had to
Speaker 3: get prepared and carry goes.
Speaker 1: It was apparently known for not being super warm and
Speaker 1: friendly at the time, but you know he's but the
Speaker 1: speak ill of but but no, but that kind of
Speaker 1: was the thing was. It was always kind of known,
Speaker 1: like it wasn't super you know, outwardly friendly on set.
Speaker 1: But but it was still really really cool to see.
Speaker 1: But I do agree that the Pee Wee Herman really
Speaker 1: and I'm a Pee's Big Adventure fan, right right, it's.
Speaker 2: A lot it was.
Speaker 3: It got excessive in this scene. So but that's that's
Speaker 3: a personal thing.
Speaker 2: I just yeah, yeah, pee Wee pee wee in you need.
Speaker 3: Mall, Yeah, you need pee wee and pee wee amount.
Speaker 2: Pee in, pee wee and pee Weee amounts.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So Danny mentions that it's Jesse's turn to babysit
Speaker 3: tonight and asks Joey if he wants to grab a
Speaker 3: bite in Chinatown and catch a movie. The telephone rings,
Speaker 3: and Michelle races over to answer it. Hello, Hi man,
Speaker 3: hold on, Jesse. Jesse turns around, Well, it looks like
Speaker 3: we have found ourselves a secret terry. He picks up
Speaker 3: the phone to speak with mister Malatesta, who informs Jesse
Speaker 3: that there is a major crisis with the Chippy chunk
Speaker 3: nut cookie account. Jesse explains to Joey it seems they
Speaker 3: found more chunk nuts in the chippies in the chewy chocolates,
Speaker 3: so all the chewy chocolates chip chunk nuts have to
Speaker 3: be called nutty chewy chunk chips. What those?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: How did John's I can't say, I'm.
Speaker 2: Literally I was like, Wow, that was a hell of
Speaker 2: a talk twister.
Speaker 3: How did John memorize that? Because he's notorious for not
Speaker 3: saying the right words and not remember anything right books.
Speaker 1: Every once in a while you just got to be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I have to know this one, this one's the one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he probably practiced.
Speaker 1: He practiced, I mean he John is a very accomplished actor,
Speaker 1: and he you know when when when he needs to
Speaker 1: he's on it, and you know, usually then he just
Speaker 1: kind of has fun and you know, is a little
Speaker 1: more loose with things. But this one with the with
Speaker 1: the chippy chunk nut cookie, you know you have to.
Speaker 3: You can't phone that in.
Speaker 2: You're changing.
Speaker 1: No, no, chippy chunk nuts that now have to be
Speaker 1: called nutty chewy junk chips.
Speaker 3: No, that is I My mind's blown. It reminds me
Speaker 3: of the pilot of Fuller House when John couldn't get
Speaker 3: the taco truck line or something, and so they finally
Speaker 3: gave it to Laurie because John couldn't get it right.
Speaker 3: So they were like, Lury, just take this line about
Speaker 3: something with the twins and their their fish truck or
Speaker 3: taco truck or whatever. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: John couldn't get that line. So Laurie's like, I'll do it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: But anyways, props to John forgetting this line.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was impressed.
Speaker 3: So Joey asks how can they do that? Followed by
Speaker 3: Danny asking how can they say that? Jesse and Joey
Speaker 3: are gonna have to work tonight. Danny's bummed because he's
Speaker 3: been looking forward to hanging out with Joey for at
Speaker 3: least thirty seconds, Danny says they can hang out tomorrow.
Speaker 3: He and Joey can go to the gym and shoot hoops,
Speaker 3: just like the old days. They'd be playing for the
Speaker 3: same stakes too. Loser does the other guy's homework. The
Speaker 3: phone rings, and Joey says he'll answer it, but Jesse
Speaker 3: stops him. They have a scretary. Now. Michelle answers hi
Speaker 3: man by man, Jesse stands up and scold, so that's it,
Speaker 3: young lady. You're fired, Pack up your stuff and get
Speaker 3: out of our office. Then Jesse and Joey both exclaim office,
Speaker 3: I'll ah pee wee herman, and Michelle sticks out her
Speaker 3: tongue and screams ah mimicking them.
Speaker 1: Audience goes, I mean you remember why the secret word, right,
Speaker 1: so every time somebody mentioned the secret word, you'd get
Speaker 1: all you scream peewee thing. But those of people out
Speaker 1: there that have probably never seen pee wee, oh.
Speaker 3: Yes, no, it was classic. And I just love this
Speaker 3: little bit at the end with Michelle, right, yeah, super funny.
Speaker 1: It reminded me of that that photo of Albert Einstein
Speaker 1: when he's sticking his tongue out.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, very similar, very similar. So next, in
Speaker 3: the living room, DJ walks in through the front door
Speaker 3: wearing a very militant button down shirt. It's giving Janet
Speaker 3: Jackson rhythm.
Speaker 2: That was Yeah, I think that was around that time. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there was definitely shoulder pads in it.
Speaker 3: There were definitely shoulder pads in there. Yeah, And she
Speaker 3: calls mail call. Steph walks over to see if there's
Speaker 3: anything for her. DJ sorts through the mail and hands
Speaker 3: Stephanie the mail for resident and occupant. Then she gets
Speaker 3: to the detergent sample and the girls agree that's for dad.
Speaker 3: Harry walks in shortly after, carrying a large heart shaped
Speaker 3: lollipop that reads I Love you. Steph thinks it's for her,
Speaker 3: and she admires the sweet gesture, but Harry replies, it's
Speaker 3: for DJ. What Steph is flabbergotte, like Harry on he
Speaker 3: went from the perfect partner to this, Like, come on, Harry,
Speaker 3: what right we think you know someone you think you know,
Speaker 3: but you don't. You don't know. Steph says, behind, you're
Speaker 3: in love with DJ. Harry Takiyama, How can this be true? True?
Speaker 3: He responds, sorry, Chief, but ever since yesterday, all I
Speaker 3: want to do is subtract. He hands a lollipop to
Speaker 3: DJ and asks if she would like to have lunch
Speaker 3: with him tomorrow. DJ answers, well, thanks for asking me,
Speaker 3: but lucky for me, I'm having lunch with Kimmy tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Harry nods understandingly, no problem. I'll bring a friend. We'll
Speaker 3: double Wow.
Speaker 2: Harry's front of me, Harry standing right here.
Speaker 3: You know, so out of character for Harry, so out
Speaker 3: of character for him.
Speaker 2: I forgot, I forgot? How how you know this hurts?
Speaker 3: Like? This really hurt painful. It's really painful.
Speaker 2: You think you know someone.
Speaker 3: Harry says by to DJ, calling her honey, and then
Speaker 3: he says bye to Chief and Steph shouts at him,
Speaker 3: don't call me Chief, Seriously, I don't blame her like
Speaker 3: that pet name that's out the window now m mm
Speaker 3: after this betrayal, Right, Steph closes the door behind Harry
Speaker 3: and whips around to DJ. You rat, you scun you
Speaker 3: skunky rat, you stole my man stuff. Walks away, and
Speaker 3: DJ sarcastically comments, man, I have ken dolls bigger than him.
Speaker 3: I mean it's kind of true. Wow. Wow, Yeah, that
Speaker 3: was a hard scene to watch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that hurt.
Speaker 3: So next weere in the gym, Joey's warming up with
Speaker 3: the basketball as Danny stretches. Joey emphasizes Gumby doesn't stretch
Speaker 3: as much as you do, and Danny reminds him that
Speaker 3: a proper warm up prevents injury. They begin the game,
Speaker 3: and for some reason, Joey's wearing sweatpants with ripped knees.
Speaker 3: I didn't know that was a style back then.
Speaker 1: Were they sweats or were they like the athletic I
Speaker 1: don't well, I thought they were like black gans.
Speaker 3: Maybe they were jeans. I just assumed he'd be wearing
Speaker 3: athletic like gear or sweats or like sweatproof athletic pants.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but the knees were ripped, So okay,
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe he's playing basket, I mean apparently.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, they mentioned that they haven't played basketball
Speaker 1: together since nineteen seventy two, which really feels like a
Speaker 1: very long time. It does seventeen years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that they're a little rusty. They're a little rusty a.
Speaker 1: Little bit, although Danny has an excellent blue Adidas tracksuit.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he was ready, like he was ready for
Speaker 3: this gig to go. Yeah, So Danny's dribbling Joey points
Speaker 3: behind him. Hey, look, the girl's locker room is open.
Speaker 3: Danny gets distracted and Joey grabs the ball, making a basket.
Speaker 3: Danny defends himself. The only reason I still fall for
Speaker 3: that is because of the one time it really was open.
Speaker 3: They continue playing, I know, I know. They continue playing,
Speaker 3: and Joey attempts to distract him again, but to no avail.
Speaker 3: Danny holds the ball above his head. Isn't this great?
Speaker 3: I'm still taller than you. He recalls the last time
Speaker 3: they played basketball together in nineteen seventy two.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a long time.
Speaker 3: It's a long time ago.
Speaker 2: Although, to be fair, when's the last time I played basketball? Really?
Speaker 2: When's the first time I played? Yeah? So, yeah, it's
Speaker 2: grade might as well be seventy two for me. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So Jesse walks in right then and interrupts the game.
Speaker 3: He tells Joey they saved the cookie account. He mentions
Speaker 3: that a bunch of people from the agency are going
Speaker 3: to Hippos to celebrate, so Irene is going to watch
Speaker 3: the girls. Joey excitedly tells Jesse he's in and he
Speaker 3: begins to follow him out of the door. Then he
Speaker 3: hesitates as he remembers he promised Danny he would hang
Speaker 3: out with him tonight. Danny protests, Oh no, no, don't
Speaker 3: let me ruin your fun. Go party with strangers. Joey
Speaker 3: offers to play Sudden Death next basket wins. Danny sarcastically responds, well,
Speaker 3: thanks for squeezing me in pale.
Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of hurtful. I feel just kind of dumped him.
Speaker 3: I feel bad for Danny and this, I really feel
Speaker 3: for him. They start playing again, and Joey calls a
Speaker 3: foul against Danny because of wristing. Danny doesn't even know
Speaker 3: what that is, but Jesse.
Speaker 1: I cannot imagine the three of them getting through this scene.
Speaker 3: Talking about wristin.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? I would like you know that.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: Bob and Dave were like, don't look at me when
Speaker 1: I say this, don't look at the.
Speaker 3: Top of my forehead, don't look me in the eye.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could, but I could see.
Speaker 1: The smirks like underneath every time they would say something,
Speaker 1: or one of them would say it and the other
Speaker 1: ones would be like, yeah.
Speaker 3: They was just dying to break and make jokes. Oh man, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm glad we weren't in this scene. Yes, so Jesse
Speaker 3: was a witness, and he confirms that Joey got wristed Danny.
Speaker 3: It just keeps keeps on going, right. Danny's upset. He
Speaker 3: begins to storm out, thanking Joey for the quality time
Speaker 3: that they got to together. Joey asks what the big
Speaker 3: deal is, and Danny tells him, if I have to
Speaker 3: explain it to you, then I don't know why we
Speaker 3: were friends in the first place. Very true, Yeah, true, yeah.
Speaker 3: Joey accuses him of acting like a little kid, and
Speaker 3: Danny retorts, I am not. Now, give me back my ball.
Speaker 3: We cut to a commercial break.
Speaker 1: A question though, why was John? Why did John walk
Speaker 1: in the scene with a with a cola can?
Speaker 3: He always has something, whether it's it's not if it's
Speaker 3: not fried chicken, it's a.
Speaker 2: I was like, what are you where?
Speaker 3: Why? Well, it was yeah, usually there's no.
Speaker 2: Well not even that. It's just one of those things.
Speaker 1: Usually it's like, you know, you walk into a scene
Speaker 1: with a prop or a like there's a there's a purse,
Speaker 1: and it just didn't feel it was just an interesting
Speaker 1: There's a couple of times that he's done that.
Speaker 2: Maybe he was uh, maybe he was parched.
Speaker 3: He maybe he's just parched.
Speaker 2: Maybeah them very thirsty.
Speaker 3: You're right. Usually a prop like that, it serves a purpose,
Speaker 3: like it's going to be part of the storyline, or
Speaker 3: it's as like.
Speaker 1: What's gonna happen? Are they gonna pour it on somebody?
Speaker 3: Yeah, John was just thirsty. That's it. Sure, and we're
Speaker 3: back in stephan DJ's room. DJ walks into her room
Speaker 3: to find Michelle's crib is where Steph's bed usually is. Hi, DJ,
Speaker 3: Michelle enthusiastically says, while wave in at her big sister.
Speaker 3: DJ asks what she's doing in here, and Michelle shrugs,
Speaker 3: I don't know. Steph struts in, carrying the rest of
Speaker 3: Michelle's stuff. She thanks Michelle for switching rooms with her.
Speaker 3: DJ addresses Stephanie, There's no way I'm sharing a room
Speaker 3: with a two year old. Steph replies, There's no way
Speaker 3: I'm sharing a room with a no good, skunky, ratty, rotten,
Speaker 3: lameoid boyfriend stealer. That was just it was almost as
Speaker 3: good as the chunky, chunky chipnuts. Wh Yeah. DJ tells
Speaker 3: her to get over it and explains that Harry is
Speaker 3: just a first grade kid with a crush on an
Speaker 3: attractive older woman. Steph ignores DJ's statement and tells Michelle
Speaker 3: watch out, Michelle. She'll be your best buddy until you've
Speaker 3: got something she wants, and then nothing is safe. DJ
Speaker 3: tries to assure Michelle she can trust her, but Michelle
Speaker 3: throws her arm over her stuffed animal and exclaims, my bunny.
Speaker 1: I have to say, the kids in this family can
Speaker 1: move furniture like nobody I've seen.
Speaker 3: You could start your own moving movers.
Speaker 1: Steph moved an entire bed dresser drag a crib with
Speaker 1: a baby with a baby in it.
Speaker 2: Across the hallway through a doorway.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that the crib wouldn't fit through the door,
Speaker 1: so Steph either had to reconstruct it in her room
Speaker 1: or take off the door frame.
Speaker 2: There was a lot a.
Speaker 1: Lot happening and between DJ moving from upstairs to the
Speaker 1: basement in like the first few episodes and Steph moving
Speaker 1: across the hall, these kids need to start a moving company.
Speaker 3: I'm telling that we are children of the eighties. We
Speaker 3: were self sufficient. This generation is not like.
Speaker 2: The three beredroom apartment by myself right.
Speaker 3: We were left alone to our own devices. We got
Speaker 3: it done like that.
Speaker 2: Is hauling a full twin size mattress on her back.
Speaker 3: Brilliant, so brilliant. Where are we? Oh, we're in the
Speaker 3: living room. Danny is vacuuming the couch and himself. He
Speaker 3: appears to be stress cleaning.
Speaker 2: Very dangerous activity. Oh yeah, vacuuming yourself.
Speaker 3: Joey and Jesse walk in, noticing the vacuum attached to Danny. Well,
Speaker 3: it had to happen. The vacuum finally turned on him,
Speaker 3: Joey jokes. Joey walks over to Danny, asking what's going
Speaker 3: on with him, but Danny ignores him, continuing to vacuum instead.
Speaker 3: Joey clean, I can relate to this rage cleaning.
Speaker 2: Oh rage cleaning.
Speaker 1: Wipe down a counter with such anger. If it wasn't
Speaker 1: made a tile, I would have disintegrated it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's a best Yeah. Joey unplugs the vacuum
Speaker 3: and Danny threatens never pull my plug when I'm cleaning
Speaker 3: again again.
Speaker 1: I mean, I couldn't say if I had to look
Speaker 1: you dead in the eye and say that, I couldn't
Speaker 1: be like I I'm sorry looking at your forehead again.
Speaker 3: Right, Something's never changed. Joey and Danny launch into an argument.
Speaker 3: Jesse quickly tries to stop it, shouting whoa who Fred
Speaker 3: and Ethel. Jesse asks if they're really going to ruin
Speaker 3: a twenty year friendship, and Danny explains how he and
Speaker 3: Joey became friends in the first place. On the day
Speaker 3: we met, I saved his butt. Joey argues it was
Speaker 3: actually him that saved Danny's butt. Danny begins to tell
Speaker 3: a story from the fifth grade. He and Joey had
Speaker 3: just finished lunch. The year was nineteen sixty eight, and
Speaker 3: we fade to a flashback scene. Flashback, we see a
Speaker 3: young Danny sitting on a bench in the schoolyard, which
Speaker 3: looks like the exact same set as dj and Stephanie's school.
Speaker 1: Also, there is only one school in all of San Francisco,
Speaker 1: one elementary school. One back ever been remodeled since nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty eight. The population's remained pretty steadily consistent and they
Speaker 1: haven't had to do anything.
Speaker 2: So luckily that school is still there.
Speaker 3: Untouched, untouched, the same kids in the background and everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's weird.
Speaker 1: It's sort of like the Shining where you're like, those
Speaker 1: are the same people, right.
Speaker 3: So young Danny is holding a tissue to his bloody nose.
Speaker 3: A teacher is reprimanding young Joey and sits him down
Speaker 3: next to Danny. In the meantime, another dark haired boy
Speaker 3: who looks a lot like Jesse is chasing two girls,
Speaker 3: trying to kiss them.
Speaker 1: So, then, does this mean that Danny knew Pam, because
Speaker 1: that would have Pam is at the school because her
Speaker 1: younger brother, Jesse's there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. Well, and Jesse's several years younger.
Speaker 1: Then, he's a couple years younger, right, he's so he's
Speaker 1: probably if they're in fifth grade, he's probably in like
Speaker 1: the first grade, second grade something like that. I'd say,
Speaker 1: look like second third maybe, okay, second third.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Pam, Yeah, Pam should be there, right, unless
Speaker 3: she was homeschooled or something. But yeah, they should have
Speaker 3: already met. Yeah yeah, Wow, they should have cast a
Speaker 3: young Pam Like, what a missed opportunity? Right? Oh? Man, well, right,
Speaker 3: then a bully walks up to the bench to tease
Speaker 3: young Danny. He's the one who threw a ball at
Speaker 3: Danny's head that caused the nosebleed. Joey stands up from
Speaker 3: the bench to compliment the bully on his hair. The
Speaker 3: bully takes the compliment and Joey adds, who cut it
Speaker 3: rotal router? All the kids laugh.
Speaker 1: The days of the Flowbie, when you'd attached the thing
Speaker 1: to your vacuum cleaner. Oh yeah, yes exactly, because that's
Speaker 1: never a bad idea again, vacuum cleaning yourself.
Speaker 2: But let's put a haircut on.
Speaker 3: Let's yeah with the hair version of that, right? Uh.
Speaker 3: The bully can't think of a comeback, and Joey fires
Speaker 3: off another one. Is that your head? Or did your
Speaker 3: neck blow a bubble? Everybody laughs again, and Joey thanks
Speaker 3: the crowd, doing his typical cut it out. These kids
Speaker 3: are great, Like I just gotta say, they were hilarious.
Speaker 3: This kid has Dave's mannerisms, totally Dave's mannerisms.
Speaker 1: And but weirdly, he reminded me a little bit of
Speaker 1: Mark Sandrowski.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he looked a little bit like Mark.
Speaker 2: He looked a little bit like Marx. Now.
Speaker 1: Mark Sandrowski was Dave's best friend who originally came up
Speaker 1: with cut it Out, as Dave told us on the show.
Speaker 1: But I don't know why the kid maybe it was
Speaker 1: like the kind of the short hair, but just his
Speaker 1: like his mannerisms, like he reminded me a little bit
Speaker 1: of Mark Sandrowski.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I just found it funny that he actually
Speaker 2: was the one that I.
Speaker 3: Can totally see that. And Mark was our stage manager.
Speaker 2: Yeah, now he's you know, Emmy Award winning director.
Speaker 3: Yep, yep, yep. I'm telling you that stage, that stage
Speaker 3: twenty four, it was either magic or we killed.
Speaker 1: Careers like we either it either went great for you
Speaker 1: or you never worked in the business again.
Speaker 3: Yep. So Joey sits back down on the bench and
Speaker 3: Danny asks where he got all those good jokes. Joey
Speaker 3: pulls out a book called one thousand and one Insults.
Speaker 3: We see young Jesse running away from the two girls,
Speaker 3: this time yelling one at a time. Just then the
Speaker 3: bully brings over Miss Borland to tattle on Joey. Danny
Speaker 3: sticks up for him, saying Joseph has been a perfect angel.
Speaker 3: The bully, whose name we learn is Sheldon, calls Danny
Speaker 3: a liar, but Miss Borland stops Sheldon, revealing that Danny
Speaker 3: has never been in trouble a day in his life.
Speaker 3: She takes Sheldon to Therincipal's office, Joey and Danny both
Speaker 3: thank one another, and Joey points out that they saved
Speaker 3: each other, which means they are soul brothers. To make
Speaker 3: it official, Joey says they have to bury something really
Speaker 3: important to them. Danny hesitates, won't we get dirty? Then
Speaker 3: he backtracks, saying he'll just be careful. They do this
Speaker 3: soul shake handshake awkwardly.
Speaker 2: Then there was that moment.
Speaker 3: I don't even know if I want to talk about it. Okay,
Speaker 3: maybe we don't talk about.
Speaker 1: It, but it was the sole handshake was I I mean,
Speaker 1: I agree with the kid in the background, Well, just
Speaker 1: you can't call that a soul handshake, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: just call it a handshake, like there's just a handshake
Speaker 1: that trying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because it was not it was.
Speaker 3: It's not agreed agreed.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So it's definitely a minorly problematic moment. And that I
Speaker 1: was like, I don't is it.
Speaker 3: I was like, this isn't happening? Is this happening?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, again one of those nineteen eighty nine jokes. Wow yeah,
Speaker 2: oh yeah.
Speaker 3: So missus Borland brings over the boy in the green
Speaker 3: sweatshirt and scolds him until you learn to stop chasing
Speaker 3: the girls. Jesse kutzopolisk, You're gonna sit right here with me,
Speaker 3: and Young Jesse exclaims, have mercy. I love it. Young
Speaker 3: Jesse's even in the traditional teal the Jesse color like
Speaker 3: the tea blue green, Tino right, it's this was very lover.
Speaker 2: He is never strayed far from from who he was.
Speaker 3: Yeahs still the same all these years later.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So the flashback ends and we're back in the living room.
Speaker 3: We see Jesse sitting on the couch with a smile
Speaker 3: on his face. I used to have fantasies about Miss
Speaker 3: Borland dancing on Laughing with a socket to Me painted
Speaker 3: on her tummy.
Speaker 2: Do you get that? No, with socket to me? Not
Speaker 2: a socket with stock it to me?
Speaker 1: So h Goldie Hawn when she was On Laughing in
Speaker 1: the seventies, which was a like a sort of an
Speaker 1: SNL type skin comedy review show whatever.
Speaker 2: They would have. They had this big like uh.
Speaker 1: Part where and the different people would pop out from
Speaker 1: behind different doors like little doors and things like that.
Speaker 2: But she had uh sock it to me.
Speaker 1: She would dance in like a little bikini and she
Speaker 1: had sock it to me painted on her tummy. And
Speaker 1: she would like do like the little like the swim
Speaker 1: and the you know whatever.
Speaker 2: It was like it was a thing. But yeah, ok
Speaker 2: it was her in a bathing suit on laughing.
Speaker 3: Okay, so that's it's a cute girl with Okay, got it? Yeah,
Speaker 3: a lot more sense. I thought it was random, So
Speaker 3: I'm glad to know. Yeah what exactly?
Speaker 2: Yes, that's yeah.
Speaker 1: Now I will all take us down that history lane
Speaker 1: there and explain to everyone what in the hell we're talking.
Speaker 3: So Jesse snaps himself back to reality, telling Danny that
Speaker 3: was a beautiful story. The boys were there for each other.
Speaker 3: Danny emphasizes were there for each other. Joey shakes his head.
Speaker 3: I should have let Sheldon cream you. Jesse tries to
Speaker 3: bring them back together, reminding them how much history they have.
Speaker 3: Danny insists everything is in the past. He decides he's
Speaker 3: gonna dig up the box they buried because he doesn't
Speaker 3: want his stuff resting next to Joey's for all of eternity.
Speaker 3: Joey follows him out because he wants his stuff too,
Speaker 3: but he doesn't remember where they buried it. This leaves
Speaker 3: Jesse to ponder in the living room. Miss borland I
Speaker 3: wonder if I still have her number?
Speaker 2: Wait? Yes, why did he have Miss Borland's number?
Speaker 3: Because he's Jesse Cassopolis. He's already getting phone numbers at
Speaker 3: age seven or whatever he want?
Speaker 2: Why is she given her phone number to a seven
Speaker 2: year old? Yeah, that's weird.
Speaker 3: I was like, what again? A joke that wouldn't really
Speaker 3: work these days?
Speaker 2: But just wait, what is that is? What is the
Speaker 2: implication there?
Speaker 3: Well, and last week he threw his little black book
Speaker 3: into the fire, so he doesn't He definitely doesn't have
Speaker 3: her number.
Speaker 2: Now have her number?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I lost to have her number numbers?
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's committed to back.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure since nineteen seventy two or sixty eight
Speaker 1: or whatever that flashback was, she may have changed her number.
Speaker 3: If she was smart, she changed her phone number.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: So next we are in the hallway. DJ carries Michelle
Speaker 3: out of her room, saying she can't live there. Once
Speaker 3: Michelle is dropped off, Steph immediately brings her back into
Speaker 3: the hallway, reminding her she lives with DJ. Now. Michelle
Speaker 3: holds her hands up and shrugs, what a day. Harry
Speaker 3: walks upstairs and greets the girls. Hi, Steph, Hi, honey, Harry.
Speaker 3: Harry read the room.
Speaker 2: You're pushing it, buddy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's ballsy.
Speaker 2: Steph's gonna Steph is ready to smack you. Yeah, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. You can't just walk walk up
Speaker 2: and no.
Speaker 3: This is no Harry's got a lot to learn.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, yeah, yeah, you know, I really this
Speaker 2: one hurts.
Speaker 3: It hurts, It does cut deep. So Steph bitterly tells
Speaker 3: DJ her boyfriend is here. DJ argues that he is
Speaker 3: not her boyfriend. All she did was teach him how
Speaker 3: to subtract. Steph insists that DJ hypnotized him with oranges
Speaker 3: and put him in a love.
Speaker 2: Trance, as one does.
Speaker 3: Yes, Jesse steps in and makes everyone go to his
Speaker 3: room to play a game of Junior Love Connection. Steph
Speaker 3: rolls her eyes. I'd rather play divorce Court.
Speaker 2: That's called foreshadowing.
Speaker 3: Michelle is already in Jesse's room, lying on his bed
Speaker 3: with her legs crossed as she reads his mail. Jesse
Speaker 3: tells her to stop because it's personal, and then he
Speaker 3: realizes what am I saying? He walks Michelle out. Jesse
Speaker 3: tells DJ to nicely tell Harry how she really feels.
Speaker 3: She flatly says, kid you don't have a prayer, and
Speaker 3: Jesse responds nicer huh. DJ walks over to Steph and
Speaker 3: points out the great girl that Harry already has. Harry
Speaker 3: looks at Steph. Sorry, chief, forgive me. Steph shakes her
Speaker 3: head in your dreams, goody good. Yeah, it's not that easy.
Speaker 2: No, it is not that easy.
Speaker 3: Make him work, you know, I admire Stephanie.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Jesse grabs Harry's arms and pretends to be him, using
Speaker 3: his arms for emphasis. He pleads take me back, take
Speaker 3: me back, and DJ does the same, with Steph exclaiming, oh, Harry,
Speaker 3: I forgive you. They reach out their hands and shake
Speaker 3: on it and Steph gives it. Okay, you're my boyfriend again.
Speaker 3: This was a fun little scene to watch.
Speaker 1: You guys are doing that, and you can see on
Speaker 1: me and Nathan's faces like we could hardly keep our Yeah. Ok,
Speaker 1: this is straight, and I'm pretty sure we cracked up
Speaker 1: multiple times while being puppeted around by them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can definitely see just how much funny guys
Speaker 3: are having with this. Yeah. So Harry raises his hands
Speaker 3: in relief, Steph pokes him and then exclaims you're it
Speaker 3: as they both ran out of the room. Dj sits
Speaker 3: with Jesse on his bed and sighs. Love is weird,
Speaker 3: and Jesse admits, trust me, babe, it gets a lot weirder.
Speaker 1: True, and you still wind up poking each other and
Speaker 1: saying you're it and then running out.
Speaker 3: Of the room.
Speaker 2: Yes. Uh.
Speaker 3: Next in the school yard, Danny is digging in the
Speaker 3: school yard and Joey comments, you dig slower than you
Speaker 3: play basketball. There goes that glacier again.
Speaker 1: Also, they haven't re landscaped the yard since nineteen sixty eight.
Speaker 2: No rights dug up a new plant.
Speaker 3: They didn't go very deep, like they're just in a
Speaker 3: planter with a couple of scoops of.
Speaker 1: Dirts, the same little plants and dirt since nineteen sixty eight,
Speaker 1: no one has touched it.
Speaker 3: You know, schools. But the school's budget it was slashed,
Speaker 3: and that they couldn't landscape.
Speaker 2: Don't.
Speaker 1: We can't buy a new dirt. We have to use
Speaker 1: the old dirt. Yeah, that the late sixties dirt.
Speaker 3: Keep it. It's all in all that makes sense.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 3: Danny hands the shovel to Joey, telling him to dig.
Speaker 3: On Joey's first dig, he hits something. Danny reaches in
Speaker 3: to pull out what looks like a rusty paint can.
Speaker 3: He opens it and finds his old Giant's cap. He
Speaker 3: puts it on his head and it's obviously quite small.
Speaker 3: Joey finds his very first insult book. Danny pulls out
Speaker 3: a piece of paper and Joey reminds him it's their pledge.
Speaker 3: He reads it out loud. This is to prove that
Speaker 3: on February twenty third, nineteen sixty eight, we pledge on
Speaker 3: our most sacred possessions to be soul brothers for life,
Speaker 3: even if one guy moves real far away. Right on
Speaker 3: Get Down, Stay Funky, Signed Daniel, Ernest Tanner, and Joseph
Speaker 3: Alvin Gladstone.
Speaker 1: All I could think of was Alvin and the Chipmunks
Speaker 1: and Ernest goes to camp.
Speaker 2: These are this is all I was.
Speaker 3: Like, Wait, yeah, this, I was not expecting these these
Speaker 3: middle names. I don't think we've ever heard him before.
Speaker 1: Know if we ever hear I don't know if we
Speaker 1: ever hear their middle names. We've been introduced to Danny's
Speaker 1: middle name and the family motto.
Speaker 3: That's a lot for one episode.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a lot of official background information.
Speaker 3: Danny admits we have horrible middle names, but Joey points
Speaker 3: out that they did keep their pledge. Danny recalls how
Speaker 3: they did everything together growing up, and Joey emphasizes that
Speaker 3: they still do everything together. Danny tells him it's not
Speaker 3: the same and shares his real feelings with Joey. Ever
Speaker 3: since you and Jesse became good buddies and now your partners,
Speaker 3: I don't know, I feel left out. Joey asks why
Speaker 3: Danny didn't tell him this in the first place. Danny
Speaker 3: says he didn't want him to get the wrong idea
Speaker 3: because he's glad they're friends. Joey assures Danny he will
Speaker 3: always be his best friend. It even says so right
Speaker 3: there in the pledge. Danny siys, I've been acting like
Speaker 3: a jerk. Joey doesn't disagree, but he had a good reason.
Speaker 3: Joey apologizes as well and tells Danny to remember that
Speaker 3: no matter what happens, they are always there for each other.
Speaker 3: And then they do their soul shake hand shake. Joey
Speaker 3: wants to bury their stuff again and dig it up
Speaker 3: when they're old men. Danny comments, well, by then, I'll
Speaker 3: be so shriveled up this cat might cap might fix me,
Speaker 3: fit me, Jesus.
Speaker 2: Well, it could fix him too, it might it could.
Speaker 3: Yeah, fit him or fix him?
Speaker 2: Yep, right, I mean that cap could do a lot it.
Speaker 3: Can They stick the hat, the book, and their pledge
Speaker 3: back into the paint. Can. Danny pauses, saying some things missing.
Speaker 3: We see a little dissolved to indicate that some time
Speaker 3: has passed, and Jesse is now walking towards them irritated.
Speaker 3: You guys are nuts. I had to stash the girls
Speaker 3: at the Gibblers, rush down here just to bring you
Speaker 3: my blow dryer, Joey tells him they needed his most
Speaker 3: prized possession. Danny asks Jesse to sign the pledge, which
Speaker 3: will officially initiate the three of them as best friends forever.
Speaker 3: Jesse's touched, but he has to say, if my hair
Speaker 3: looks like hell tomorrow, I'm coming back here and digging
Speaker 3: that thing up. Joey says they all have to do
Speaker 3: the official soul brother handshake. Jesse is apprehensive, so Danny
Speaker 3: suggests they could all hug instead. Jesse doesn't hesitate. He'll
Speaker 3: do the handshake instead of a hug, And that's our show,
Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh man, you know.
Speaker 1: I also have to say that paint can, which was
Speaker 1: quite rusty, quickly kept those items inside in incredibly immaculate condition,
Speaker 1: well preserved twenty plus years.
Speaker 3: Yes, it was almost like it was hermetically sealed so
Speaker 3: that no airflow could get in there, because yeah, they
Speaker 3: were in great shape.
Speaker 2: Although, oh my god.
Speaker 1: So that's one of those things when you think about
Speaker 1: you're like, how god, was what thirty years and you're like, no,
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty eight to like nineteen eighty eight when the
Speaker 1: or ish when the show twenty years, that's.
Speaker 3: Only twenty years. Yeah wow wow, yeah, okay, so twenty
Speaker 3: years is not that long in comparing in comparison.
Speaker 2: But that paper held up really well. It is like, wow,
Speaker 2: that that's it. Paper held up better than the handshake.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that. That's it. Yeah, it really did.
Speaker 3: It did.
Speaker 1: But this was but it was such a cute It
Speaker 1: was a very cute episode. I liked getting to see uh,
Speaker 1: Danny and Joey as as kids.
Speaker 3: Yes, that was the best part of the episode.
Speaker 2: And Jesse as as a kid.
Speaker 3: Super fun. Love those flashback scenes. I wish we had
Speaker 3: more of them.
Speaker 2: And apparently now we know they all grew up in
Speaker 2: San Francisco.
Speaker 3: Yeah, at that same schoolyard with the same dirt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not much has changed in San Francisco. You know,
Speaker 1: things just stay the same. That's what I hear about
Speaker 1: that city all the time. But now it was I
Speaker 1: love this, like finding out kind of the background of
Speaker 1: how Joey and Danny became friends. Yeah, and yeah, and
Speaker 1: seeing them like they've known each other their whole lives.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is long. Yeah, longer than Jesse and Danny
Speaker 3: have known each other. Longer than Pam and Danny maybe, But.
Speaker 2: Now I don't know. Now I have questions.
Speaker 3: We have questions.
Speaker 1: I have questions because now obviously they went to school together.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe she went to a different school. Maybe she
Speaker 3: was a transfer. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we need Jeff Franklin to explain this. Come on,
Speaker 1: I don't think everyone. I don't think anyone ever really
Speaker 1: thought about it. Were like whatever, it's fine, But I
Speaker 1: have thoughts right now, I'm like, wait, what is the
Speaker 1: what's the lore? How are all of these people connected?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we need another flashback scene. We need to know
Speaker 3: the answers to these questions.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna go write one, and we're
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna perform it so.
Speaker 2: For anyone else, just for our own edification, so that we.
Speaker 1: Know what's going in your garage. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I've
Speaker 1: got costumes.
Speaker 2: Don't worry.
Speaker 3: Did you have any?
Speaker 2: Every where?
Speaker 3: Everywhere you looks I had one?
Speaker 2: Okay, everywhere you look?
Speaker 1: Moment And it happened in the beginning, Oh oh tell me,
Speaker 1: And it was it was very minor. But in that
Speaker 1: first scene when DJ and Steph and Harry uh come
Speaker 1: into the kitchen, right, do you notice what DJ is.
Speaker 2: Eating this time?
Speaker 3: Not an orange? What is she? No? What is she eating?
Speaker 2: Cold fried chicken? She is?
Speaker 1: I didn't notice that she is also eating cold fried chicken.
Speaker 2: So it is a uh.
Speaker 1: It has been passed down from uncle to niece that
Speaker 1: cold fried chicken is the preferred snack pay of the house.
Speaker 3: This is now a running theme throughout the entire Tanner
Speaker 3: House with all the characters.
Speaker 2: Cold fried chicken and oranges. That's what we exist on.
Speaker 3: I wonder, like, how did that taste? Like? You know,
Speaker 3: prop food is never.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was like it was greasy fried chicken
Speaker 1: that had then then was then cold. It was just
Speaker 1: really salty and cold.
Speaker 2: It wasn't great.
Speaker 3: But you're sound like you're really eating, you know, it's
Speaker 3: not like you're eating.
Speaker 1: I do remember as a kid though, picking off the
Speaker 1: chicken skin the cold chickens.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was salty.
Speaker 3: It was good, come on, like a salt.
Speaker 1: It just really what it was just like, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's the fried chicken skin on the fried chickens.
Speaker 2: That's what we all are there for. The meat is
Speaker 2: really into that.
Speaker 1: That's secondary to the totally secondary, right, I just want
Speaker 1: the fried stuff, and so I would just like take
Speaker 1: little pinches off of it, and it was Yeah.
Speaker 3: It was just salty.
Speaker 1: Okay, So yeah, cold fried chicken made it appearance nice,
Speaker 1: very nice.
Speaker 2: Did you have one?
Speaker 3: I do have one, but I sort of cheated because
Speaker 3: this is a little fact I read online. I didn't
Speaker 3: actually know this until I read this.
Speaker 2: Fat.
Speaker 1: So this is every not necessarily everywhere you look, but
Speaker 1: everywhere someone looks.
Speaker 3: Everywhere someone else looks, everywhere somebody else.
Speaker 2: I'm coffeeing it, got it? Got it?
Speaker 3: Okay, everywhere you plag your eyes.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: So Danny's Giants cap that he buried in the playground
Speaker 3: in nineteen sixty eight, right, that's a goof because apparently
Speaker 3: the Giants didn't start wearing that particular cap until nineteen
Speaker 3: seventy seven.
Speaker 1: Uh, I was gonna say, I was like, I wonder
Speaker 1: if it's if it's the same you know, logo, because
Speaker 1: they tend to change their sports teams overtimes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, apparently Danny was ahead of his time wearing Well, Danny's.
Speaker 2: A time traveler. Yeah. Yeah, that's a whole other thing.
Speaker 3: That's a whole other episode, right.
Speaker 1: Which explains why the buried thing is still there because
Speaker 1: at some point he had to travel forward in time
Speaker 1: and yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, okay, okay, it all makes sense now.
Speaker 1: It all makes sense. And somehow it's tied into a total.
Speaker 3: Solar eclipse, total eclipse of the heart, Total solar eclipse
Speaker 3: of the Heart.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 3: Oh, Bonnie Tyler residuals on these clips dazed, you know, right,
Speaker 3: it's like a nice little paycheck for her.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, it's like every time you're shooting and someone says, okay,
Speaker 1: we're going to turn around, and everyone sings turn around,
Speaker 1: and you're like, why do we do this?
Speaker 2: Why? Why? I hate myself that I sing this every time?
Speaker 3: But you can't resist. You can't resist.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's true, just like I couldn't resist the appeal
Speaker 1: of this week's episode.
Speaker 2: It was adorable. I love seeing the guys as little kids.
