Speaker 2: Oh my god, one of my favorites, up there with
Speaker 2: Small Wonder, you know what I mean in believability and
Speaker 2: entertaining in technology. I'm just the the the video effects.
Speaker 2: It basically was like someone playing with little miniature dinosaurs
Speaker 2: and then like like little green army people and they
Speaker 2: were like this is actually a scene, but it was
Speaker 2: great Land of the Lost and the slee stacks like
Speaker 2: they like only lived in the dark.
Speaker 1: They live underground or in a cave or in the dark,
Speaker 1: and so when they have to come to the surface
Speaker 1: of the earth, the sun is so blinding that they
Speaker 1: just like they're like, yeah, like that's the sound they
Speaker 1: make like uh, their.
Speaker 2: Eyes, it's they cover their eyes and they make weird

Speaker 2: things are gonna it's gonna kind of hit the fan.
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 3: It's like this dog.
Speaker 1: Animals, pets can predict earthquakes, so it's right.
Speaker 2: He's like, I feel like something is gonna go really wrong. No, anyway,
Speaker 2: he's so he's been out of town, which is both
Speaker 2: good and bad. I didn't have anyone in the house
Speaker 2: to avoid. The kids were with me a little bit
Speaker 2: over the weekend, but then for the past few days
Speaker 2: the dad's had kept them. But I this poor dog
Speaker 2: because she is used to, you know, me Scout works
Speaker 2: from home. She's used to like multiple walks a day,
Speaker 2: We're going on adventures.
Speaker 3: Things are great.
Speaker 2: And now my sag comes along and she's just like, hey,
Speaker 2: I'm like.
Speaker 3: OK, look, we're gonna do it like two walks a day.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I had to call I had to call.
Speaker 2: Celia over to come and walk the dog, and she
Speaker 2: sent me chicken motsa ball soup and then came over
Speaker 2: and made me soup.
Speaker 1: And yeah, well good, I'm glad. I'm glad she was
Speaker 1: around to rescue you. Rescue Lisa from from boredom.
Speaker 2: The dog was just laying there listlessly on the ground,
Speaker 2: like I hate my life?
Speaker 3: Why does it suck? Why are you lame?
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's any dog. She needs exercise like every day.
Speaker 1: I'm sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm with the amount of reachigots she needs.
Speaker 2: But but then Celia also brought something over to me
Speaker 2: that reminded me of you. What And I don't know
Speaker 2: why she brought it to me when I was sick,
Speaker 2: but the timing of it.
Speaker 1: It's it's a book.
Speaker 2: It's a sorry, it's your problem now because I'm dead
Speaker 2: and it's to me. It's just basically like a book
Speaker 2: where you can write all of your stuff.
Speaker 3: I think most of.
Speaker 2: This probably I have in some sort of a will
Speaker 2: or something that I think I'm working on one.
Speaker 1: Of those, yes, But.
Speaker 2: But anyway, it just reminded me of you because of
Speaker 2: the funeral file files, Like, oh, that's a that's a
Speaker 2: handy addition to the funeral file.
Speaker 3: Out there people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great if you're looking to Bill like
Speaker 1: a pack, you know, like we'll do funeral file lessons.
Speaker 1: Get Darren my brother, So basically.
Speaker 3: But where basically Darren should.
Speaker 2: Start giving those out like uh, like banks did with toasters,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like you sign up for
Speaker 2: an account with with Darren to plan your the end
Speaker 2: of your life.
Speaker 3: You get a little planner.
Speaker 1: For You's like I think that would gift literally a
Speaker 1: partying gift.
Speaker 2: It really got all the information, so it's almost like
Speaker 2: a work book, you know what I mean. Get and
Speaker 2: then they can turn it in and then he just
Speaker 2: goes from there. Doesn't even have to really interact with people,
Speaker 2: just let them write it.
Speaker 1: All that that's a great gift, that is useful. Darren,
Speaker 1: You're welcome. We'll take We'll take our ten Darren. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: up with this idea.
Speaker 3: No, but yeah.
Speaker 2: So that's been my last few days. I have binge
Speaker 2: watched Severance.

Speaker 1: talking about it though.
Speaker 2: Oh my my my, ah.
Speaker 1: My brain.
Speaker 3: Explode.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: It's so good and so weird, and.
Speaker 2: It's funny at times. It's almost satirical at times of
Speaker 2: like corporate culture. It's also really dark and there's really
Speaker 2: twisted stuff like.
Speaker 1: It's let's right up your alley.
Speaker 2: It is all over the no but it's brilliant. It
Speaker 2: is brilliant, and I like the actors in it. Oh
Speaker 2: my god, Patricia Arquette plays this character who is insane and.
Speaker 3: She's so good.
Speaker 1: Oh, she's so good.
Speaker 3: Anyway, I highly recommend it.
Speaker 2: It's on Apple Plus or Apple TV or I don't know,
Speaker 2: whatever the whatever whatever streamer, but I.
Speaker 3: It's it's really great.
Speaker 2: It's been on my list for a while because people
Speaker 2: were talking about it and I like, blew through the
Speaker 2: first season and I'm a couple like two.
Speaker 1: I'm on season or episode two of season two. So
Speaker 1: how many seasons are there? Only two? It was just
Speaker 1: two so far? Okay, okay, two and.
Speaker 2: Their streamer seasons, you know, so it's like nine episodes, right,
Speaker 2: it's not I'm not investing, which is great for me
Speaker 2: as a binge watcher, not great for me as an actor, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, for season wise work. But but anyway, I'm

Speaker 1: sweetest thing This is like April the Giraffe all over again.
Speaker 1: Remember I was watching that when we were doing Fuller.
Speaker 2: You guys, can I tell you when April the Giraffe,
Speaker 2: which was what twenty eighteen nineteen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she was pregnant.
Speaker 2: April the Giraffe was set to give birth and wasn't
Speaker 2: it Like they don't know how long the Giraffe was pregnant,
Speaker 2: so they're like, we don't know.
Speaker 3: It looks like it could be anytime.
Speaker 2: So there's basically a watch like they have no idea
Speaker 2: when it's coming, but it's like like two.
Speaker 1: Or three week period. It could just show up at
Speaker 1: any point.
Speaker 2: Andrea had her phone on her on set what set
Speaker 2: on the live stream hidden places. It would be like
Speaker 2: under a pillow in a drawer in the alcove or something.
Speaker 2: We'd be doing rehearsal.
Speaker 1: We'd be shooting and she'd be like.
Speaker 2: Hold on, I need to go check my phone, and
Speaker 2: she'd come back and she's.
Speaker 3: Like, Nope, no baby draft yet.
Speaker 2: I was like, so yeah, So I can only imagine now,
Speaker 2: have you I mean, is that just all you've been doing?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's on in every room in the house wherever
Speaker 1: I go. I can keep up exciting.
Speaker 3: Seriously, Yeah, what could I lie about that?
Speaker 1: No, you wouldn't. That's the best part, Michael. Michael's like,
Speaker 1: just like watch anything else, you know what.
Speaker 3: I'm so over these stupid birds.
Speaker 1: The babies are growing like, they're very It's way more
Speaker 1: exciting than the draft pregnant going on, Like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's so.
Speaker 2: You're like, there's no you know, it's not like a
Speaker 2: little pan or anything. You're like, hey, you guys, are
Speaker 2: y'all are out there? They survived a storm.
Speaker 1: The storm was very scary. The storm. We all were
Speaker 1: like collectively holding our breast right to make.
Speaker 3: Sure they survived this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'm I'm with you on this. I mean
Speaker 2: I don't have it on in every room in my house.
Speaker 2: I you know, I don't know every two or three
Speaker 2: days have clicked on a story about it.
Speaker 1: But it's probably enough. But now I'm just going to text.
Speaker 3: You and be like I need minute by minute updates.
Speaker 1: It's great. The babies are getting they're getting very big.
Speaker 1: They're fighting, fighting over the food, even though there's plenty
Speaker 1: of poodle. Yeah, no, it's I'm learning all species. Did
Speaker 1: you know that they keep I think this is all eagles,
Speaker 1: but definitely the babies. They have a crop. It's called
Speaker 1: a crop, and it's like a little to go box
Speaker 1: in their neck, right, and it's like keeps. They keep
Speaker 1: the food there and then just access it whenever they want.
Speaker 2: Heard that at some point because the crop sounds familiar.
Speaker 2: But you know me, I probably read it in some
Speaker 2: weird thing when I was looking up some.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, right, yeah, but that's.
Speaker 3: Fascinating, you know what it is. I think maybe I'm
Speaker 3: thinking of like a.
Speaker 1: Pellic oh because they have a similar big yeah storage system,
Speaker 1: which is crazy. Oh yeah, you could store a whole
Speaker 1: refrigerator in there. Man. This is such a good idea though. Man,
Speaker 1: this would be if we could do this as humans
Speaker 1: with toddlers, Like great, just fill up your crop kids,
Speaker 1: and then you don't have to feed them snacks fifty
Speaker 1: times a day.
Speaker 3: Or you could give them like a little snack holder, you.
Speaker 1: Know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I don't know that they need like a throat pocket.
Speaker 2: I mean I feel like I feel like if you
Speaker 2: overalls would do it, you know, just a little front
Speaker 2: pouch here.
Speaker 1: They'll find a way to lose it, insane. It has
Speaker 1: to be inside their body in the throat. Okay, so
Speaker 1: they don't lose it.
Speaker 2: Well, right, so they don't lose it, and so that
Speaker 2: they're just like they don't have to even.
Speaker 3: Bug you about it.
Speaker 1: No, and they don't. They're not spelling goldfish all over your.
Speaker 2: Car like you know, you know what that alone said,
Speaker 2: that alone we did.

Speaker 1: And last, but certainly not least, we have Marcus Nunneley
Speaker 1: as Anthony. He has two credits Full House and the
Speaker 1: Ties that Bind Marcus or Marquise. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: was wondering, is it Marquise or Marcus Marquise Marquise Nuneley fantastic.
Speaker 1: This kid is so great. How he's like giveing DJ so.
Speaker 2: Much grief about I have no patience.
Speaker 1: It was excellent. He was fantastic. So we start with
Speaker 1: the teaser in Jesse's room. Jesse is playing his drums
Speaker 1: very loudly when Michelle appears at the doorway with a
Speaker 1: big grit on her face.
Speaker 2: Do you remember the drum set in John's dressing room. Yes, yes, yeah, so.
Speaker 3: John, we all had dressing rooms like upstairs.
Speaker 2: Well, this was when we moved to Warner. I'm trying
Speaker 2: to remember how it was when we were in at Sony.
Speaker 1: We were still he's.
Speaker 2: Still stairs but like off on his anyway, he always
Speaker 2: had like a music room because John loves music and
Speaker 2: it's his weight online. But he always had a drum
Speaker 2: set in his dressing room and he would play the drums.
Speaker 1: Just like this, just like this teaser. Yeah he did,
Speaker 1: you know. It was like.
Speaker 2: And yeah, and you'd go pop your head in and
Speaker 2: you know, kind of bop along kind of like Michelle did.
Speaker 3: And yeah.
Speaker 2: It was again one of those moments where I was like,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, this was like we actually did this around set.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: It's so John, and it's it's so John to have
Speaker 1: a full, a full drum set. It's not like just
Speaker 1: a guitar. He can strum no noween scenes. No, it
Speaker 1: is a full a drum set. John wanted to be
Speaker 1: a musician.
Speaker 2: He was he wanted to be a drummer, and he
Speaker 2: just it so happened that he was, you know, also
Speaker 2: a pretty face and wound up on General Hospital.
Speaker 3: Right, so right, you know, and it worked out well.
Speaker 1: But he's that was his first love, so it was oh, yep, yep,
Speaker 1: this this did bring back a lot of memories. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so Michelle's dancing along to these drum beats. Once he finishes,
Speaker 1: she happily declares, it's my turn. Jesse is enthused that
Speaker 1: Michelle wants to be just like him, so he plops
Speaker 1: her on the stool and hands her two drumsticks. He
Speaker 1: gives her a quick lesson on how to play, but
Speaker 1: it is extremely complicated the way he's explaining it, so
Speaker 1: Michelle gives him a confused look and asks, are you
Speaker 1: talking to me? Realization hits and he says, oh, forget
Speaker 1: all that, just bang the heck out of him, and
Speaker 1: Michelle does that. She plays the drums to her little
Speaker 1: heart's content. Jesse lifts her up and she holds the
Speaker 1: drumsticks in the air as he shouts rock and roll,
Speaker 1: and she says, we love you San Francisco and bangs
Speaker 1: on the simple yay, super curious. Yeah, Michelle looks adorable.
Speaker 1: She's got like kind of a gibbler esque like this
Speaker 1: polka dot.
Speaker 3: We are we're entering the nineties, can you feel it?
Speaker 3: You know it's it's happening.
Speaker 1: Is getting worse by the minute.
Speaker 2: Yeah, matchie, matchie, the scrunchies, the side pony.
Speaker 1: Yeah she had a matching scrunchy, the Poka dot scrunchies.
Speaker 1: It's fantastic.

Speaker 1: as he says hi to Steph. He tells her that
Speaker 1: they just got back from preschool and Michelle has something
Speaker 1: to show her. Michelle says, want to see what I got,
Speaker 1: and Steph nods sure, why not. Michelle reminds her, you
Speaker 1: have to say please. Stuff rolls her eyes. I'm not
Speaker 1: that interested, right.
Speaker 3: Like it's true? Well, hold on, I don't yeah, I
Speaker 3: don't want to have to work for it.
Speaker 1: Barely interested originally. Now you're definitely not interested.
Speaker 3: Now I got a beg for it.
Speaker 1: Nothing, So Danny begs her to play along. Apparently it's
Speaker 1: politeness week at preschool. Michelle is now an officer of
Speaker 1: the Polite Police. They start him young yep. Michelle narrows
Speaker 1: her eyes at Stephanie and pulls back her card again
Speaker 1: to reveal a star attached to her overalls. She threatens,
Speaker 1: I'll be watching you, mister amazing delivery. This was just
Speaker 1: timing with the pulling of the card. Again and the
Speaker 1: like she just she nailed that whole bit. She gets
Speaker 1: out of her chair and pokes Stefph on the shoulder
Speaker 1: and smiles and says, have a very nice day, then,
Speaker 1: do you. J and Kimmy burst through the door. DJ
Speaker 1: makes a beeline for her dad and gives him a
Speaker 1: big hug, saying, boy, I missed you. How's the greatest
Speaker 1: dad in the history of Dad's feeling today?
Speaker 2: Yeah, just nothing like when your kid walks in. My
Speaker 2: mom uses it when I go, Mama, what you want?
Speaker 3: And I was like, how does she know?
Speaker 2: It?
Speaker 1: Said Mama?
Speaker 2: And now there is a tone and a mom when
Speaker 2: they come in the room.
Speaker 1: And you're like, oh you want money or a rad Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can tell just by the intonation of the voice,
Speaker 1: or like if it's even remotely nice, you're like, oh
Speaker 1: they want someone? Do they want they want something?
Speaker 2: Well, it's not even nice, it's it's it's little and high.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'm like, okay, like here we go, here
Speaker 1: we go. So Danny is definitely suspicious, and Kimmy suggests
Speaker 1: to DJ compliment him on his shoe, sock and pant combination.
Speaker 1: Dad's love that and my hair is noticeably shorter. I
Speaker 1: don't know if it was cut or just really curl.
Speaker 3: It was it was it was really.
Speaker 1: Curly, super curly. Yeah, and at least I thought it
Speaker 1: was an improvement.
Speaker 2: You and I have switched hair textures. I am now
Speaker 2: straight hair and you have curly hair.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got the Stephanie dippity do hair style.
Speaker 3: It's super curly.
Speaker 1: Was your hair?
Speaker 3: And your hair is like wavy sort of but not
Speaker 3: curly crazy.
Speaker 1: But it's no, it's not curly curly, so I don't remember.
Speaker 3: It was the nineties, man.

Speaker 2: lot of fan bangs. I mean, Candae is you know.
Speaker 1: Oh she's got Yeah. The feather wine looked like.
Speaker 3: A small explosion on the front of my head.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my bangs are looking more suspiciously like yours. This
Speaker 1: was definitely a technique that Frankie developed.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, everybody.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and a small round not like a big one
Speaker 2: that kind of let them flip No, no, no, like
Speaker 2: a nice little tight one, tight one. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh is that the secret? Okay?
Speaker 2: Well, and then you had to then you had to
Speaker 2: flip it back. You had to get the round brush
Speaker 2: and that sort of reverse action going. So it really
Speaker 2: looked like a bird nest. Yeah right, yeah, it is
Speaker 2: like a bros front, you know. Yeah, Oh, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: that's it. I'm cutting banks today. I need the bird
Speaker 2: nest bank, so I can, you know, to go along
Speaker 2: with my bald eagle watching. Oh my god, people are
Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna have a wellness check on you, okay,
Speaker 2: because you do like cut banks in times of crisis,
Speaker 2: and I'm it's I'm gonna be like, you know what though,
Speaker 2: if now is the time to cut bangs, if ever
Speaker 2: there was one, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: You know what I say, crisis level, crisis level banks.
Speaker 1: Let's let's go everybody banks for everybody. But my mouth
Speaker 1: is still still so dang awkward. I'm still trying to
Speaker 1: get used to those clear braces, and I can just
Speaker 1: see my mouth struggling to like, watch my diction. I
Speaker 1: can't watch my diction.
Speaker 3: It's hard to watch your diction with braces.
Speaker 2: And usually most kids don't have to really worry about.
Speaker 1: That, right very you know, Yeah, it was very distracting
Speaker 1: for me to watch myself. But that's okay. That's when
Speaker 1: you're a teenager. This is what you do. Right. So
Speaker 1: DJ ushers Danny over to a chair so he can
Speaker 1: be comfortable, and Stephanie warns, be careful, dad. She needs money,
Speaker 1: and lots of it. DJ asks how she knows, and
Speaker 1: Stephanie points out the obvious. We go back eight years.
Speaker 1: We all know when it's kiss up time. She takes
Speaker 1: her sandwich and leaves the room. Yeah. I mean you
Speaker 1: have a good point. I love that you just drop
Speaker 1: this knowledge and you take your sandwich to go.
Speaker 3: Like, I'm not an idiot.
Speaker 2: I'd be eight years old, almost nine, but I'm not dumb.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, yeah, No, you're just like I'm here to
Speaker 2: drop my truth.
Speaker 3: Like, have your moment. You know, I don't want to
Speaker 3: ruin it, so yeah, go for it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So Danny asks DJ how much she needs, and
Speaker 1: she prefaces this money's not for anything fun, it's for clothes,
Speaker 1: a basic necessity of life. Danny asks again how much,
Speaker 1: and DJ continues to beat around the bush. She tells
Speaker 1: him they're the coolest tennis shoes and they're only eighty
Speaker 1: bucks her shoe. Danny bursts out in laughter, so Kimmy
Speaker 1: and DJ follow suit. Then DJ wonders why are they laughing?
Speaker 1: Danny says it's because he actually thought she was asking
Speaker 1: for one hundred and sixty dollars sneakers, and DJ says,
Speaker 1: I did. Danny laughs again, So Kimmy chimes in, these
Speaker 1: aren't just sneakers, these are blowouts, and DJ explains what
Speaker 1: why they're so rad? They inhale and exhale as you ask.
Speaker 1: When she was like, but they're so rad, I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god. This was oh, welcome to nineteen ninety
Speaker 1: one from the ninety one so great, and Hi Lisa,
Speaker 1: I seea.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh yeah, well that was why I had
Speaker 2: to step away from him, because she was scratching at
Speaker 2: the door.
Speaker 1: Okay, I know she needs her mom.
Speaker 3: It's her time.
Speaker 1: It's ten thirty.
Speaker 3: She goes on a little do do do do oh.
Speaker 2: So she's like, I'm here, You're supposed to do things
Speaker 2: and I'm like, sorry, sorrybra, I'm working.
Speaker 1: She gets to be the studio audience she gets today.
Speaker 3: Yes, she's adorable.
Speaker 1: So yeah, blowouts, the inhale and exhale as you walk.
Speaker 1: I can't think of any sort of did we have these?
Speaker 3: This was a k nights the pump sneakers.
Speaker 1: And that you would pump up the tongue.
Speaker 3: Is that?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: That's and there was that and then like yeah, you
Speaker 2: Georgias were just coming out around this time.
Speaker 1: It was like you'll jump.
Speaker 2: High, you know, Okay, okay, yeah, so this was like
Speaker 2: the this was I mean, I feel like Jensen would
Speaker 2: probably be the expert on this, but I feel like
Speaker 2: this was really kind of the start of you know,
Speaker 2: of like the sneaker head era.
Speaker 1: Yeah, trendy, trendy sneakers. Yeaheah, this was the start of it. Okay,
Speaker 1: so love it. DJ's like, she's a sneakerhead. We didn't
Speaker 1: even know. I did not know that.
Speaker 2: He's got a secret wall in that house which you
Speaker 2: push it away and it's just.
Speaker 1: Stacks and stacks sneakers. Yeah, boxes of expensive tennis shoes. Hey,
Speaker 1: everybody's got something, you know. So DJ says if she
Speaker 1: doesn't get these, she's going to be a total geek,
Speaker 1: and Kimmy nudges Danny and says, you know how that feels,
Speaker 1: mister t.
Speaker 3: I left such a brilliant exchange between you two. I
Speaker 3: laughed out loud.
Speaker 1: It was great. So Kimmy and Danny have a little
Speaker 1: stearing contest before Danny retorts. It takes one to know
Speaker 1: one like.
Speaker 3: This is a face. It was perfect.
Speaker 1: It was perfect, like this is the beginning of the
Speaker 1: Kimmy and Danny sparring matches, and I love it so much.
Speaker 1: I was trying to take it.
Speaker 3: Was also this one.
Speaker 1: Was it mean like this was funny scene? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it wasn't mean very appropriate. Uh no, it was just
Speaker 1: the right amount of teasing without crossing the line. So
Speaker 1: I loved it. Bob's fantastic between sparring with Bob and
Speaker 1: sparring with you. It's just like, this was my favorite
Speaker 1: thing right on the show. So Danny reminds DJ she
Speaker 1: doesn't always need to go with the crowd. In fact,
Speaker 1: when he was a kid, he went out and bought
Speaker 1: some sensible sands a belt pants with an adjustable waist
Speaker 1: band while the other kids were buying evil Knievel jumpsuits.
Speaker 2: I don't even know what in the seventies sands a
Speaker 2: belt pants are other than the fact that if I
Speaker 2: break the word down.
Speaker 3: Or sands s a n s is one.
Speaker 1: Word without without a.
Speaker 2: Belt, and then you just combine it so it's in
Speaker 2: a like like an adjustable waistband.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what they were. Yeah, it was just like these,
Speaker 1: like just straight pants with the adjustable waistband. It was
Speaker 1: I thought they were nice, Like I looked them up.
Speaker 1: They looked nice. That looked like something that pilots would
Speaker 1: wear or I guess bowlers in this case, although I
Speaker 1: don't I don't know about that, but yeah, no, they
Speaker 1: I mean they were It's no evil Knievl jumpsuit.
Speaker 3: Should I do you want a pair? I mean you
Speaker 3: sound really into it.
Speaker 1: No, No, it's I feel like it's more year towards
Speaker 1: the band.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm gonna I'm gonna package it together with.
Speaker 2: Pants and the and that sorr's your problem now because
Speaker 2: I'm dead, because I think you're injuring your way very
Speaker 2: very close.
Speaker 1: Yeah, once you wear those, it's just you know, once you.
Speaker 3: Wear those, it's over.
Speaker 2: Yeah, those those orthopedic shoes that your grandma would wear,
Speaker 2: or like the big black wrap around you know, like yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well hey anything was an adjustable waistban. I'm
Speaker 1: a fan. I just gotta say, you.
Speaker 2: Know, well, you gotta be comfortable when you're sitting around
Speaker 2: watching eaglets.
Speaker 1: Yes, right. My whole style is evolving during this podcast,
Speaker 1: and perhaps not in a good way. So Danny ends
Speaker 1: the conversation with the reference to Sanzebell pants, and DJ
Speaker 1: is prepared with a Plan B. She asks her dad,
Speaker 1: wouldn't it be great if I never had to weasel
Speaker 1: money out of you? Again, Danny admits he likes Plan
Speaker 1: B so far. DJ continues, I can earn my own
Speaker 1: money by getting a job. There's a photographer down at
Speaker 1: the mall, and he said I could be his part
Speaker 1: time assistant. There you go, all right, there you go.
Speaker 1: Danny worries about her schoolwork since her science grade has
Speaker 1: been slipping, and this is when Kimmy steps in and
Speaker 1: assures him I give you my personal guarantee that DJ
Speaker 1: will raise her grade in science, and Danny sarcastically responds, oh,
Speaker 1: the Gibler guarantee. Well that changes.
Speaker 2: Everything, right, A Gibler guarantee on anything academics is worth nothing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it actually does the opposite of what's intended to do.
Speaker 3: Don't worry, I'm going to tutor her. Well, there goes
Speaker 3: that idiot.
Speaker 1: So DJ begs Danny to give her a chance. She's
Speaker 1: fourteen years old and she's ready for adult responsibilities. Danny
Speaker 1: finally gives in, if you can keep your grades up,
Speaker 1: you can take the job. DJ gives him a big
Speaker 1: hug and thanks him, and then Kimmy gives him a
Speaker 1: big hug and says thanks mister T. And Danny can't
Speaker 1: help but wonder why Kimmy's so happy. She explains DJ's
Speaker 1: getting blowouts and we have the same size feet, and
Speaker 1: then they give Danny a kiss on the cheek, ending
Speaker 1: to the scene. That was cute. That was it was
Speaker 1: very cute. And Candice and I almost have the same
Speaker 1: size feet. She's a size six, I'm a size five,
Speaker 1: so we're just one size apart.
Speaker 3: You have those tiny, tiny little feet.
Speaker 1: I have very very I guarantee my feet have not
Speaker 1: grown since this episode, Like they just stopped growing.
Speaker 3: They just stopped growing.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, thank god you're not like super tall.
Speaker 2: That would be right, that would be unwieldy, you know,
Speaker 2: be able to balance over all the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm glad I stopped growing five to two
Speaker 1: size five feet.
Speaker 2: That's okay, Or it would also be oppositely weird if
Speaker 2: you were your height and had gigantic feet, Yes, that would.
Speaker 1: Be so, that's right. That's an episode coming up when
Speaker 1: Michelle grows really big feet, do you remember? Oh my god, great? Yeah,
Speaker 1: talk about horrifying dream sequences. There's quite a few in
Speaker 1: this series. So next to Jesse's room, Jesse's playing the
Speaker 1: guitar and Becky rushes in he's he moved.
Speaker 3: The drum set obviously, Uh carried it up to the ad.
Speaker 2: Because you know, letting a drum set around is one
Speaker 2: of the easier things to do.
Speaker 3: I'm sure staircases in Victorian homes, DJ.
Speaker 1: And Steph know how to move rooms in like an hour.
Speaker 1: So he just got the.
Speaker 2: Little house dobby the house elf do they have running
Speaker 2: around that it does all this stuff for them, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. We don't see the people that
Speaker 2: are actually making the house run.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the little elves that are running around. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: there has to be there's something because three flights of stairs. Heck,
Speaker 1: no way. So Becky says, my folks called today and
Speaker 1: they have this wacky idea that since we're engaged, we
Speaker 1: should actually set a date in a place for the wedding.
Speaker 1: Jesse rolls his eyes and says, time to say the
Speaker 1: magic word Graceland. Becky's unamused, like the rest of us.
Speaker 1: Right here we go, here we go, though it's his
Speaker 1: dream to get married at that tacky place. She believes
Speaker 1: there there are more benefits to getting married in her
Speaker 1: hometown of Valentine, Nebraska. It's named Valentine, it's the city
Speaker 1: of law.
Speaker 3: You know. Come on, this is.
Speaker 1: A no brainer. Come on. But Jesse glares at her
Speaker 1: and challenges her to name one benefit. Becky size, it's
Speaker 1: not Graceland. Excellent point. It's true that nothing more needs
Speaker 1: to be said. It's not Graceland. They argue, talking over
Speaker 1: one another to try to get their points across, and
Speaker 1: that's when Joey darts into the room. He interrupts their
Speaker 1: fighting to ask Jesse for his credit card. Joey admits
Speaker 1: he's way over his limit and the shopping Network is
Speaker 1: offering a special on the Barney Rebel bath collection.
Speaker 3: This entire thing.
Speaker 2: He ran in the room and I was like, what
Speaker 2: thinks this person should be responsible for children?
Speaker 1: How is you know what I mean? How is he
Speaker 1: over his limit on his credit card? What is hen
Speaker 1: rent he does? And pay?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: Does he have a car payment? I don't even have?
Speaker 3: I mean, have you seen the basement?
Speaker 2: It's I mean, there's a lot the puppets don't buy
Speaker 2: themselves salts. Okay, yeah, nu, these days, you know you
Speaker 2: got to find them outfits full hockey uniforms.
Speaker 1: You know how much that costs A lot. That explains
Speaker 1: why he's over his credit card limit. But goodness, gracious,
Speaker 1: this is great. So Jesse Scoff's no way you still
Speaker 1: haven't paid me back for that California Raisin chess set. Okay,
Speaker 1: get this. I had to look it up. I had
Speaker 1: to look it up. There is a raisin brand chess set. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's on eBay for the low price of sixty dollars.
Speaker 1: It's just wait, there's a raisin brand.
Speaker 2: Ess, Say what is what it's is a raisin brand
Speaker 2: chess What are the characters of raisin brand? What do
Speaker 2: you even?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 1: What the house?
Speaker 3: Was it just a bunch of raisins? Was it just
Speaker 3: a raisin? And then your pawns are little brand.
Speaker 1: Flakes, like what is it? I don't know, but the
Speaker 1: don't keep them apart, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: You have got two colored raisins, golden raisins and regular raisins.
Speaker 1: Well you okay, I think you've out a lot more than.
Speaker 3: If someone eats their chest set.
Speaker 2: I just don't this doesn't feel this sixty dollars feels
Speaker 2: expensive for just like a handful of Raisin brand thrown
Speaker 2: on a checkerboard, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Well, it's the full cereal box. So this is like
Speaker 1: the unopened apparently the unopened cereal box that you just
Speaker 1: cut the cardboard and then you have your chest set.
Speaker 1: The description didn't say what the little pawns were though,
Speaker 1: so I don't know. Maybe it is you you use
Speaker 1: the Raisins. Those Raisins after how many years, twenty years,
Speaker 1: thirty years, those have.
Speaker 2: Got to be pretty dried out. That banana taped to
Speaker 2: the wall piece of art.
Speaker 3: It doesn't.
Speaker 1: It's just not as.
Speaker 2: Much as somebody tells you on eBay that this is
Speaker 2: this is the original, it's not.
Speaker 1: No, it's Raisins amazing. Similarly, there is now there is
Speaker 1: a California Raisins board game, not a chest set, like
Speaker 1: Jesse said, it's a board game. It looks very similar
Speaker 1: to Shoots and Ladders.
Speaker 2: Is it like like them on their way like the
Speaker 2: first there on the vine and they're nice full little
Speaker 2: grapes and then what they shrivel up.
Speaker 1: And die like is that is.
Speaker 3: That's basically a raisin you know.
Speaker 2: Well, it doesn't evolves off to get crushed and make wine,
Speaker 2: and some go to the Welches factory like I don't.
Speaker 1: It doesn't end well for any of them. You put
Speaker 1: way more forethought into this than any has or any
Speaker 1: of the creators.
Speaker 3: This is just off the top of my head.
Speaker 2: If I had forethought, I would have a list of questions.
Speaker 3: I think we've gotten a little off track.
Speaker 1: Let's go back to I. There's the way. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I did research.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you the research, whether you want
Speaker 1: to hear it or not.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I always want to hear random research.
Speaker 1: Okay, Barney Rubbel bubble bath is a real thing from
Speaker 1: the nineteen sixties. Oh you knew this, Okay.
Speaker 3: I thought for sure they had made huge They would have.
Speaker 2: You had like the old because I like to go
Speaker 2: to antique stores and vineae stores, so you'll see them
Speaker 2: all the time, like the old.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Like it's like the bath containers and they would have
Speaker 2: like the head of whatever on it, and it would
Speaker 2: be yeah, and that was a whole.
Speaker 1: I had them when I was a kid. Oh okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: So I mean not.
Speaker 2: I don't think I had Biden have Barney rubble ones.
Speaker 2: But I but yes, I I remember those. Yeah, that
Speaker 2: was the thing.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's great.
Speaker 2: Do you not have any character bubble baths? What kind
Speaker 2: of sad sheltered?
Speaker 1: Had a very sad silty What was that, Bathy? I
Speaker 1: think it's just plain dove like, I I'm sorry, I
Speaker 1: must my mom was punishing me clearly. Barney rubbel bubble baths, right, fantastic.
Speaker 1: You can find the Barney rubble bubble bath on eBay
Speaker 1: as well. Becky chin in and tells Joey that she
Speaker 1: will buy him the Rebel bubble Bath, but in return,
Speaker 1: she wants him to sell Jesse on the idea of
Speaker 1: a Nebraska wedding. So Joey starts to brainstorm the best
Speaker 1: way to sell Nebraska. He puts on his best Midwestern
Speaker 1: impression Alla Walter Brennan, Grandpa Amos in the real McCoys.
Speaker 1: He does that whole like, oh boy, it was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, someone committed amilies all from the Midwest. I can't
Speaker 2: say it was entirely wrong, but no, but it was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: it was definitely yeah.
Speaker 3: You're like, oh it was I don't know, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Dave committed, though you know these bits were not committed
Speaker 1: unless he committed.
Speaker 2: I mean, sure, the nice folks, the great weather, other
Speaker 2: than the you know, tornadoes, Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, they're down to earth or friendly.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm thinking dances. Never mind Kansas and tornadoes.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure there's other natural disasters in the Midwest,
Speaker 1: and you know that's okay. So Joey urges Jesse to
Speaker 1: just picture it. And that's when which is.
Speaker 3: All just picture It is a setup as if you
Speaker 3: hear those three words on a sitcom, you're about to
Speaker 3: enter a dream seat.
Speaker 1: Yep, that that is. It's a Pavlovian response. You have
Speaker 1: you have to have a dream second.
Speaker 3: One picture right and there it.
Speaker 1: So enter Jesse's dream sequence. He's dressed in overalls, paired
Speaker 1: with a white T shirt and a black top hat
Speaker 1: and a bow tie. He approaches a goat and asks
Speaker 1: if he's seen his fiance anywhere, and just then Becky
Speaker 1: rides in on a tractor, wearing an overly poofy dress,
Speaker 1: braided pigtails sticking straight out, and black stuff over her
Speaker 1: two front teeth to make it look like she is
Speaker 1: missing teeth. What is happening, dude? You got me?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 1: And we haven't even gotten to the second one yet, so.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: This was just again it's an excuse for costumes, but
Speaker 2: it is very it is very weird and probably offensive
Speaker 2: to uh large swaths of the country.
Speaker 1: Well probably, yes, it was sa sense the but the
Speaker 1: dress was cute.
Speaker 3: Just imagine though all that were They had to go
Speaker 3: out to a farm somewhere, or they had to, you know,
Speaker 3: go shoot all of that. And the best part is
Speaker 3: is when you take it outside of the studio, all
Speaker 3: of a sudden you switch to like film.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then when you come back to the stuff
Speaker 2: you shoot in studio, you're on tape.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it looks it looks different.
Speaker 2: It looks different, like the quality of it looks a
Speaker 2: little bit different, which is always interesting.
Speaker 1: You throw in a goat, an unpredictable goat, like, man,
Speaker 1: how long could it take to get this shot right? Amazing?
Speaker 1: Uh So Becky calls out to him in a country
Speaker 1: accent and exclaims time to get hitched. Farm boy Jesse.
Speaker 1: He complains about being dressed like a Beverly hillbilly, but
Speaker 1: Becky insists he's cuter than a hound dog and a
Speaker 1: hair in.
Speaker 3: It sounds like something my dad would say.
Speaker 1: Second, totally pictures Sam.
Speaker 3: This is sam ism cuter and a hound dog and
Speaker 3: a hairnet.
Speaker 1: You know Sam is. She jumps into Jesse's arms and
Speaker 1: gives him a big smile. Jesse takes in her new
Speaker 1: look and cringes have mercy. She pulls him in for
Speaker 1: a big kiss, and his eyes widen with terror. I
Speaker 1: don't know how Jeff convinced these adults keep doing these
Speaker 1: dream sequences, like we had the weird Michelle one when
Speaker 1: her first day school.
Speaker 3: I mean, it was you're contractually obligated.
Speaker 1: At some point you just go, oh god, can you
Speaker 1: imagine John complain? John would complain about this and be like.
Speaker 2: Remember remember the episode I fought with the clown Remember
Speaker 2: that episode?
Speaker 1: Yes, that just sometimes you just gotta suck it up
Speaker 1: and do it, you know what I mean? Oh gosh, yeah,
Speaker 1: Well they they committed. I gotta admit they committed.
Speaker 2: And if you're gonna be in it, you go full
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, go for it. But sometimes
Speaker 2: you just gotta fight the clowns.
Speaker 1: I guess, pick and choose your battles. That's why John
Speaker 1: agreed to this. I don't know, but it was. It
Speaker 1: was a thing that we saw. That's all I gotta
Speaker 1: say about this.
Speaker 3: Well, sitcom dream sequences are always been terrifying.
Speaker 1: Yes, so thank god. This stream sequence ends and Jess
Speaker 1: is shell shocked. He says, I'm not getting married on
Speaker 1: hee haw and then he runs up to Becky and
Speaker 1: takes a good look at her teeth to make sure
Speaker 1: that dream wasn't a reality. Jesse begs Joey to explain
Speaker 1: the virtues of a classy, elegant wedding at Graceland. Joey
Speaker 1: approaches this by imitating Robin Leech from Lifestyles of the
Speaker 1: Rich and Famous, and he shouts in Becky's face, imagine
Speaker 1: yourself at Graceland, and he highlights all the wonders of
Speaker 1: this estate before yelling her to picture it. And that's
Speaker 1: when Becky's dream sequence begins, also nearly as horrifying. So
Speaker 1: at Graceland, which really just looks like a gate at
Speaker 1: the studio that they put some decor arm. It was
Speaker 1: Culver Study. It was the front of every Sony. It
Speaker 1: looked like Sony stud.
Speaker 3: Not Sony Culver Study.
Speaker 2: Okay, you remember we were Sony was where we were,
Speaker 2: and Sony was had been Lorimar had been MGM. That
Speaker 2: was kind of like in the center of col she
Speaker 2: you went down uh not Braddock, but if you went
Speaker 2: down Culver or whatever to and kind of off a
Speaker 2: little bit like I guess east and south of that
Speaker 2: was Culver Studios with that big white house.
Speaker 1: Oh oh oh, a big white.
Speaker 3: House and the lawn and all of that.
Speaker 2: And then behind that was Culver Studios, and that was
Speaker 2: I think where they shot I Love Lucy and stuff,
Speaker 2: or they shot a bunch of stuff and it's been
Speaker 2: there forever.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, it doesn't look at.
Speaker 2: All like that now, but I believe it was the
Speaker 2: gates in front.
Speaker 3: Of that building.
Speaker 2: Okay, totally wrong, but I think that was it. And
Speaker 2: then they just put the little music notes all over
Speaker 2: them or whatever.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: These were clearly just sort of stuck on with tape.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: Did they not have a budget for a set? Like
Speaker 1: why why are they? It was kind of a phoned
Speaker 1: in location, so like why why that? Did you want
Speaker 1: them to fly to Graceland? I mean something that looked
Speaker 1: more like Graceland than just throwing nineteen.
Speaker 2: No one was paying that close attention, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean? Remember Land of the Lost. Okay, that's all
Speaker 2: I have to say, Land of the Lost, we were
Speaker 2: small wonder we were watching that.
Speaker 1: Okay, so this is very believable. Actually, if if wow,
Speaker 1: did they are?
Speaker 2: You know that there's a large percentage of people out
Speaker 2: there that like, wait, they didn't go to Graceland.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, guys, really sorry. They spent the whole budget
Speaker 1: on costumes, I guess or Becky's bee hive, like, they
Speaker 1: must have blown the budget on that. So Jesse hops
Speaker 1: out of his red convertible dressed in his best Elvis jumpsuit. Parent,
Speaker 1: would you pick.
Speaker 3: That era of the Elvis? You know I was wondering, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I was thinking more always go for the cute fifties.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Elvis, Well campy, this is this whole thing is campy.
Speaker 1: So got to go for the campy. You need a
Speaker 1: good suit. Yeah. So he's talking in his Elvis boy
Speaker 1: and tells Becky to join him. That's when we see
Speaker 1: Becky with hair five times the size of Priscilla Presley's.
Speaker 1: She looks like she's in physical pain, admitting she can
Speaker 1: barely hold her head up with this particular hairstyle. She
Speaker 1: looks great though, like I really like the dark hair
Speaker 1: and the frost of yes, like fantastical. You really can. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Jesse insists she looks prettier than a fried peanut butter
Speaker 1: and nan or sandwich, and then she was so delicious.
Speaker 1: It does sound good. My mom used to a little
Speaker 1: drizzle of honey on top the best little afternoon snack.
Speaker 1: So Becky looks at him with hers.
Speaker 2: I listen to us, and I'm like, we sound like
Speaker 2: the some occasionally we'll go off on a little comment
Speaker 2: and we sound like those the two ladies from SNL.
Speaker 2: That's it where they're the librarians have their own NBR
Speaker 2: like NPR show that just occasionally we'll say something, I'm like.
Speaker 1: Ah, either the SNL girls or the grumpy muppet balcony
Speaker 1: muppets that are right judging everything got larryd.
Speaker 3: Waldorf.
Speaker 1: Sorry I didn't know their name. Sorry, of course stricted me.
Speaker 1: So Becky looks at him. She's got these over the
Speaker 1: top fake eyelashes and hot pink lipstick, and she reminds
Speaker 1: him her name is Rebecca, but he continues to call
Speaker 1: her Priscilla a few more times, and he decides that
Speaker 1: they need to make her beehive even bigger. He strikes
Speaker 1: a pose with the cape that is attached to the jumpsuit,
Speaker 1: and Becky passes out at this awful sight. She snaps
Speaker 1: back to reality and approaches her fiance with fire in
Speaker 1: her eyes. My name is Rebecca and I'm not getting
Speaker 1: married with a hairdoo like Marge Simpson.
Speaker 2: And that joke has lasted through the years because the
Speaker 2: Simpsons will never die.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, they are predicting the future.
Speaker 1: But they are. Yeah, isn't that cart That's very uncanny.
Speaker 1: But someone's a time traveler. So they argue again. They
Speaker 1: talk over each other again, so Joey again has to interrupt.
Speaker 1: He suggests they learn to compromise before they're married. He
Speaker 1: throws out the idea that they get married here in
Speaker 1: San Francisco, where they live and where all their friends are.
Speaker 3: Shocking, what a thought.
Speaker 1: Becky and Jesse love this idea, and they agree that
Speaker 1: they'll get married in San Francisco. Becky suggests that they
Speaker 1: also get married on the most romantic day of the year,
Speaker 1: and Jesse agrees on Elvis's birthday. God let it go like,
Speaker 1: let this good, Jesse, Yes, stop shoehorning Elvis into your line.
Speaker 2: Right, I'd be concerned if I were back I'd be like,
Speaker 2: I don't. I think this is borderline concerning, very very so.
Speaker 1: Becky says, no Valentine's Day. Jesse loves that idea too,
Speaker 1: and they immediately become a happy couple again.
Speaker 2: Second mention of more dream sequences, what oh.
Speaker 1: As long as it ends the dream sequences, right, I think? Please?
Speaker 1: Yeh No, I was just remarking that Becky has mentioned
Speaker 1: Valentine twice in one scene Valentine, Nebraska, and now they're
Speaker 1: getting married. She's got a thing for the day of love.
Speaker 2: I guess it's yeah. I feel like there's some sort
Speaker 2: of are we supposed to pay attention to this? Maybe
Speaker 2: I watched too much Drupe Crime, you.
Speaker 1: Know what I mean? Yes, for shadow attention.
Speaker 3: This person's gonna come come back now.
Speaker 1: It's not that deep.
Speaker 5: The writers just like I just picked something right. You
Speaker 5: met Michelle Lally in the hit Bravo show The Valley.
Speaker 5: You met me literally during the most difficult chapter in
Speaker 5: my life. Now it's time for you to meet the
Speaker 5: real Meet Michelle Sennie. Yes, I changed my name and
Speaker 5: I want you to follow me on my journey to
Speaker 5: the pursuit of sassiness. So much has happened to me before, during,
Speaker 5: and after the show. Before you can really understand the
Speaker 5: eight weeks that you saw on TV, I think you
Speaker 5: have to know what was going on from the very beginning,
Speaker 5: from being raised by two immigrant parents, paying my own
Speaker 5: way through college and working at Hooters, to starting my
Speaker 5: own real estate empire, getting married, having a baby during COVID,
Speaker 5: to that very same marriage falling apart on national TV,
Speaker 5: to losing my mom, to eventually finding love again. There
Speaker 5: is so much to unpack and share. I'm on the
Speaker 5: pursuit of happiness and most importantly, I'm on the pursuit
Speaker 5: of sassiness. Listen to Pursuit of Sasiness starting on March
Speaker 5: seventeenth on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you
Speaker 5: get your podcasts.
Speaker 1: So Becky thanks Joey for the help, and he nods
Speaker 1: you're welcome. Now, well, somebody please give me a credit card.
Speaker 1: If I call now, they'll throw in a free Bam
Speaker 1: Bam soap on a rope And I could not find
Speaker 1: that on the internet, by the way.
Speaker 3: That's disappointing.
Speaker 1: Jesse hands him his credit card and Jesse walks away,
Speaker 1: or Joey walks away Jesse hold each other while happiness
Speaker 1: radiates from both of their faces. Jesse admits he can
Speaker 1: hardly believe they're getting married in six weeks. Becky screams
Speaker 1: at the top of her lungs. In response, she reiterates,
Speaker 1: six weeks. We have a million things to do, and
Speaker 1: she begins to rattle off a whole list, So Jesse
Speaker 1: interrupts her to suggest, well, why don't we just elope,
Speaker 1: and in response, Becky lists off all the things they'd
Speaker 1: need to do to a lope. She storms out of
Speaker 1: the room and determination still listing off all of her
Speaker 1: to dos.
Speaker 3: Six weeks though, Yeah, that is six, like six weeks.
Speaker 1: They've been engaged for fourteen episodes. Now, why are we
Speaker 1: rushing it now? Like is it sweeps week?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: Why the rush for day? I don't know this was
Speaker 1: I mean maybe just to create more drama. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably, Yeah, that's I mean, that's what it is.
Speaker 2: It creates you if you have a short window of
Speaker 2: time to do something extraordinary in you know.
Speaker 1: It's odd though, because they were picking out cake samples
Speaker 1: of episodes ago. But Becky doesn't have a dress, they
Speaker 1: don't have a location, they don't like.
Speaker 2: They're picking out cake samdals, but you don't have a location. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: that shows their priorities. Cake is a priority in the
Speaker 2: full house.
Speaker 3: This was probably.
Speaker 2: I would gather that the people who were writing this
Speaker 2: probably didn't have a ton of experience in planning weddings.
Speaker 1: No, probably not. They're just like cake, yeah, time for great.
Speaker 1: They were like, sure you get cake, right? I mean that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's a thing in there dread. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Six weeks plenty of time to plan a wedding, she writes.
Speaker 3: Now I think they yeah, but I think it just gives.
Speaker 1: It a little bit of it just raises the steaks
Speaker 1: as this raises the stakes.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: So next we are at the mall in the photographer's studio.
Speaker 1: The little boy is sitting in front of a rainbow mural,
Speaker 1: but there is no sign of joy on his face.
Speaker 1: His mom is begging him to smile, and the photographer
Speaker 1: is standing by in anticipation, but this boy refusesographer tells
Speaker 1: the mom to leave it to the professionals, and he
Speaker 1: calls out for his happy helper and DJ walks out
Speaker 1: dressed like raggedy ann. The photographer is this whole thing?
Speaker 3: You could see it?
Speaker 1: She mortified. She does not like doing like kookie stuff
Speaker 1: like you know, she.
Speaker 2: Does not like the silly or like looking stupid, and
Speaker 2: that was yeah.
Speaker 1: Yes, no anything like. She like, she never would have
Speaker 1: been able to do the Gibbler character because that was
Speaker 1: far too embarrassing, like ridiculous things. But yeah, you could
Speaker 1: tell she well, at.
Speaker 2: Fourteen, who wants to dress like fourteen? Worse than Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're like.
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to do that anyways, so uh. The photographer
Speaker 1: instructs her to help the child smile, so DJ bends
Speaker 1: down in front of him and enthusiastically introduces herself as
Speaker 1: the happy helper. She asks the boy to give her
Speaker 1: a big smile, and he shouts no in her face,
Speaker 1: so she resorts to doing a bunch of silly faces
Speaker 1: to try and make him laugh, but the boy stares
Speaker 1: at her stone faced and says, that's not funny.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, it wasn't funny.
Speaker 1: It wasn't funny. It wasn't funny. I mean this kid
Speaker 1: had this kid had you know something he was not.
Speaker 1: He wasn't having. She talked to Steph.
Speaker 2: I feel like they'd have a lot to talk about,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like the reality of situations. There's like what are we doing? Like,
Speaker 1: why is this happy hoper in front of me making
Speaker 1: a fool out of herself? So DJ grabs a stuffed
Speaker 1: hippo out of one of the toy chests and shows
Speaker 1: the boy how he can zippo and flipo before admitting
Speaker 1: she really feels like a dippo, and again the boy
Speaker 1: reminds her she's not funny. So DJ asks what it'll
Speaker 1: take to make him laugh, and the boy demands be
Speaker 1: a duck. DJ says okay and waddles around the floor,
Speaker 1: saying quack quack. I'm sure.
Speaker 3: I wonder if he did this the rest of his life,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? I wonder if it's just
Speaker 3: what it was like if.
Speaker 1: This was his thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is negotiating this, yeah, her negotiator or just
Speaker 2: like this is what he's into, Like be a duck,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, yeah, okay, hey whatever, whatever does it for you?
Speaker 2: Boy?
Speaker 1: Okay? Right? And it does? He smiles. He gives her
Speaker 1: a huge smile. The photographer snaps a picture and tells
Speaker 1: the mom what a beautiful child. Is that going to
Speaker 1: be cash or card? She responds, check, and they make
Speaker 1: their way over to the register. You're people, my people.
Speaker 1: She's writing a check. She's writing this check.
Speaker 3: Yay, but it's nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 1: Just don't get to notice that. Okay, hey, I sometimes
Speaker 1: I don't want to write a check, but sometimes I
Speaker 1: have to write a check. Someone's forcing you to write
Speaker 1: a check. Us I just wrote one. The other day.
Speaker 1: I had a guy putting up blind the blinds guy
Speaker 1: that he's not blind, but he's puts blinds up on windows, right,
Speaker 1: and he wanted a check. He doesn't want doesn't I
Speaker 1: offered Zell, I offered Venmo, I offered PayPal, and he
Speaker 1: was just like, no, I really just want to. And
Speaker 1: I was like, I almost called you and put him
Speaker 1: on the phone with you, because.
Speaker 2: I was like, see, my friend doesn't believe that people still,
Speaker 2: I know, people still accept checks.
Speaker 3: I like to make fun of you about it.
Speaker 1: I know, Okay, then I do it.
Speaker 2: I had been doing that one guy, just writing checks, yes,
Speaker 2: keeping keeping the check printers alive, you.
Speaker 1: Know, only just the two of us, yes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. Do you get the custom checks with like
Speaker 3: the little cats on them?
Speaker 1: I used to, but I know I don't want to.
Speaker 1: Like when I when I fill my first checking account
Speaker 1: that I opened when I must have been like eighteen.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I was so excited to order like the
Speaker 1: custom checks and I was like into florals and I
Speaker 1: never did the cartoons. Why are you you're so judging me?
Speaker 1: Right now?
Speaker 2: Get that express because I probably had the same I
Speaker 2: probably had like dogs online or something, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. I'm just I'm laughing at the absolute old
Speaker 2: schoolness of it.
Speaker 1: It's oh, yeah, no, it's it's you know. That was cool.
Speaker 1: I felt like such an adult by having personalized checks
Speaker 1: with personal flowers on or whatever I picked. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was a sign.
Speaker 3: Of little leg for a photo shoot.
Speaker 1: Yes, So, while DJ is tidying up, Kimmy appears. She
Speaker 1: laughs at the sight of DJ, who looks like she's
Speaker 1: at her wits end. She asks, Kimmy, do you really
Speaker 1: have to come by every day and laugh at me?
Speaker 1: And Kimmy corrects her, I'm not laughing at you. I'm
Speaker 1: laughing with you. Only you're not joining in like a
Speaker 1: true best friend, does I know? Come on, Kimmy, like
Speaker 1: this is just mean. She she's one of those aigan
Speaker 1: DJ on to earn the money to buy the blowouts
Speaker 1: that Kimmy was then going to steal for her own closet.
Speaker 2: But first of all, if your friend was dressed as
Speaker 2: a clown at the mall, would you not go by
Speaker 2: every day and laugh a little bit at them? If
Speaker 2: your best friend, Because I can tell you right now,
Speaker 2: I absolutely would.
Speaker 1: You would? You absolutely would, Yes, you would not pass
Speaker 1: up that opportunity. I'm just saying, Oh, poor Dj, Okay, well,
Speaker 1: bookmark this outfit that I'm wearing. It's gonna be my
Speaker 1: everywhere you look later on. Oh okay, that's mental note.
Speaker 3: I don't remember what it was, but we will, okay.
Speaker 1: Uh, it was the floral. It was the green sweater
Speaker 1: with it was all floral, floral plants, floral sweater with
Speaker 1: the green. Okay, So Kimmy begs DJ to go on
Speaker 1: break because two cute boys want to buy them pizza.
Speaker 1: She points over to the boys and they give a
Speaker 1: little wave in response. DJ's humiliated. I don't want anyone
Speaker 1: cute seeing me like this. Jimmy says, how about afterwork?
Speaker 1: And DJ says, I have to go home, eat dinner,
Speaker 1: and then try and stay awake long enough to study
Speaker 1: for my science test. Kimmy frowns and response, poor kid,
Speaker 1: you're working like a dog and dressing like a dweeb.
Speaker 1: You must really want those blowouts.
Speaker 2: Damn, Kimmy, she's just unforgiving, ruthless, ruthless. Right, Yeah, He's like, meanwhile,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go hang out with these two guys, And
Speaker 2: how is Kimmy hitting all these guys? Like, Wow, she's
Speaker 2: got because she's not confidence, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: She's just said she got that kind of energy.
Speaker 1: She really does, and you know that must be it.
Speaker 1: That must be it, because anyone that dresses like that
Speaker 1: and acts like that begets confidence. That's all confidence. Yes,
Speaker 1: So DJ admits it's about more than just the shoes.
Speaker 1: She's trying to be a responsible adult, and Kimmy suggests,
Speaker 1: then I'd lose the clown suit, and she turns to leave,
Speaker 1: telling the boys to come on. DJ watches them in disappointment.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So, back in the kitchen, Michelle is sitting at the
Speaker 1: table with her little Sheriff's star pinned to her chest.
Speaker 1: She's holding up a treat for Comet, who sits on
Speaker 1: his hind legs and begs. In response, Michelle reminds him
Speaker 1: it's not polite to beg. She instructs the dog to
Speaker 1: say please, so Comet arcs, Michelle nods in approval and
Speaker 1: hands him the treat as a reward. The dog runs
Speaker 1: away and Michelle shouts, you forgot to say thank you,
Speaker 1: like she's really this is going to her head like
Speaker 1: you know, this polite police thing again.
Speaker 2: The one thing we don't need is Michelle in a
Speaker 2: position of power, right, okay, you know now she needed
Speaker 2: authority over I mean she's already everyone's therapist and now
Speaker 2: she's now she's making the rules.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is this is not good.
Speaker 3: This poor dog, absolutely and Michelle is an example of that.
Speaker 1: So DJ and Kimmy walk in. Michelle wishes them a
Speaker 1: good afternoon. Give me and DJ roll their eyes before
Speaker 1: saying in Unison, good afternoon Michelle. DJ nervously asks if
Speaker 1: their dad is home, and Michelle politely tells her, no.
Speaker 3: I'm just hanging out here by myself.
Speaker 1: Well, of course, why would Danny be watching her took off?
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I'm alone from school.
Speaker 1: Home alone training the dog like this is what she does.
Speaker 1: DJ lets out a sigh of relief. That means at
Speaker 1: least she'll stay out of trouble for a few minutes,
Speaker 1: but Kimmy reminds her she doesn't have to show her
Speaker 1: dad the science test. DJ begs to differ. I promised
Speaker 1: him i'd raise my grade and he knows I'm getting
Speaker 1: my test back today. She pulls the test out of
Speaker 1: her backpack and says, when he says this, I'm dead.
Speaker 1: Her paper has a giant red F written on the front.
Speaker 2: That was so painful, man, when your test would get
Speaker 2: handed back to you.
Speaker 1: You didn't do well on one.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, like today where it goes back to like
Speaker 3: your school year.
Speaker 2: What it's all electronic, Like, yeah, people knew they'd be
Speaker 2: side eyeing you and be like.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, as the teacher passes out the tests, you
Speaker 1: would look to see what your friend got and yeah, yeah, sure.
Speaker 3: But the writing on the top of it, Yes, it was.
Speaker 1: A little strange that this test didn't have like more
Speaker 1: red markings on it, like this is what you got
Speaker 1: wrong or I needed more claireification here. But that's okay.
Speaker 3: Just I mean, once she starts, once they start reading it,
Speaker 3: it's obvious why it's just just an.
Speaker 1: F, just an F. Like there's no no, no, no
Speaker 1: words needed, It's just an F. DJ slumps into her
Speaker 1: chair and puts her head in her hands. This is
Speaker 1: the first f she's ever received. Michelle interrupts her pity
Speaker 1: party by reminding DJ there's no elbows on the table.
Speaker 1: Miss Michelle read the room like, this is not the time, right,
Speaker 1: Like gosh, yeah, she just wants to boss people around.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: DJ is certain that her dad is going to make
Speaker 1: her quit this job, so Kimmy decides to step in.
Speaker 1: She grabs DJ's paper and pulls out a red pen
Speaker 1: of her own. She makes Kimmy has a red pen
Speaker 1: handily available right here, she does, you know, I love
Speaker 1: me a good red pen, you know me. She makes
Speaker 1: a mark on the paper and then reveals the most
Speaker 1: unconvincing A in the history of education, Like that's why
Speaker 1: was it so square?
Speaker 2: It was like, well, how else are you going to
Speaker 2: turn an F into an A?
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got it.
Speaker 2: I think the joke is is that obviously no one's
Speaker 2: going to buy that, kimmey.
Speaker 1: True, okay, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like, who in their right mind is gonna be fooled
Speaker 2: by fooled?
Speaker 1: This is true, Danny's fooled. But I feel like she
Speaker 1: should have gone for a B. It would have been
Speaker 1: able to make the f.
Speaker 2: B and never Yeah, if you're gonna cheat, never go
Speaker 2: for the top top you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: You want to.
Speaker 2: Blend in, go a little just a little below yep,
Speaker 2: like passing but not crazy.
Speaker 1: Sy but not perfect. Yeah, yeah, Jimmy, really.
Speaker 3: That I am encouraging that at all. I'm just saying
Speaker 3: that's true.
Speaker 1: We do not encourage forgery. Children who are listening to this.
Speaker 1: So DJ snatches the paper out of her hands and
Speaker 1: shouts how did you do that? And Michelle, butson, it's
Speaker 1: not polite to yell.
Speaker 3: With the pen. How did you do that? Why did you?
Speaker 1: Why did you do that? Right? Why how did you
Speaker 1: do and watched you with a red pen? It's easy.
Speaker 1: Michelle frowns and yells at DJ. You forgot to say please.
Speaker 1: DJ's had enough. She pulls Michelle out of her chair,
Speaker 1: walks her into the living room, and as she's being
Speaker 1: carried out, Michelle repeats over and over, this is not polite,
Speaker 1: This is not polite. DJ puts her of the show,
Speaker 1: just removing Michelle.
Speaker 3: Thank yeah, you over there.
Speaker 1: DJ puts her down and says thank you, and Michelle replies,
Speaker 1: you are not welcome, and then walks off it's great,
Speaker 1: great delivery, though, you know it was. It was.
Speaker 3: It was very funny.
Speaker 2: It's weird now, like you know, everybody, we just were
Speaker 2: joking around.
Speaker 3: Yeah it was.
Speaker 2: It was cute and funny. But if it was real life,
Speaker 2: you'd be so so sick of it.
Speaker 1: So, after all that's handled, DJ looks at Kimmy with dread.
Speaker 1: I have to go to work, and you know, you
Speaker 1: really messed me up by giving me that A. Now
Speaker 1: I can't show it to my dad, give me questions
Speaker 1: why not. It's a perfect forgery.
Speaker 2: And this is why Kimmy is failing school because she's
Speaker 2: like that totally looks like, wow, you would write an A.
Speaker 2: Everyone's like explains a lot in like qnea form, like
Speaker 2: what do you like what?
Speaker 1: This is why Kimmy got only accepted to Clown College
Speaker 1: a few seasons later.
Speaker 3: Because well, she took the outfit from DJ's work.
Speaker 1: Who got the last laugh? There? Ell, it's true. So
Speaker 1: DJ reminds Kimmy that it's wrong, it's dishonest, it's deceitful.
Speaker 1: She picks up the paper and stops herself. It really
Speaker 1: does look like an A. Yeah, no, no, I know what.
Speaker 1: Maybe you've got a on the test.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, anyone is fooled by this A.
Speaker 3: I we need to check this A.
Speaker 1: This A is burned into my brain like just it's
Speaker 1: like the scarlet letter of terrible as. Yeah it is
Speaker 1: that should.
Speaker 2: Be like like it's what like a like a A
Speaker 2: see and say would type as an A. You know
Speaker 2: what I mean, if you had to, like it had
Speaker 2: to be like straight lines over little.
Speaker 1: Square yeah, an angular? Yeah, this is this This is
Speaker 1: like the cover photo of this episode. That's all I
Speaker 1: remember about this episode is that terrible A. So next
Speaker 1: at the mall, two twin babies are seated for pictures
Speaker 1: and DJ is dressed in her usual get up as
Speaker 1: she waddles around the floor, quacking and trying to get
Speaker 1: the babies to smile. Then do you, Danny Stephan Michelle
Speaker 1: walk in. Danny proudly snaps a picture of his daughter
Speaker 1: and she frowns, Oh great, more humiliation.
Speaker 2: I have to say that I forgot how uh like
Speaker 2: you can sneakily take pictures now, like with your phone.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: It was you were obvious when you were taking a
Speaker 2: picture in nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you had a noise there was a flash.
Speaker 1: You had to hold a thing up to your face there. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: and the and the photographer guy does not even notice
Speaker 1: that this strange man has walked in with a camera,
Speaker 1: walked into a photography studio with his own camera and
Speaker 1: is taking pictures of the assistant like this is not
Speaker 1: a red flag? Come on a photographer? H so oh so,
Speaker 1: DJ goes over to her family and asks what are
Speaker 1: they doing here? Danny explains that they were in the
Speaker 1: neighborhood and he had his camera, so why not stop
Speaker 1: by and say hi? Stephanie asks, do you know you
Speaker 1: have a mop on your head? Oh? Steph to point
Speaker 1: out the obvious, you know right, DJ glares at her, Yes,
Speaker 1: it's part of my uniform, and Steph asks, can I
Speaker 1: borrow your uniform next Halloween? She just oh, stephan is
Speaker 1: just so. She's not letting this go No. DJ rolls
Speaker 1: her eyes in response, and then directs her attention back
Speaker 1: to Danny. She tells him she has to get back
Speaker 1: to work, but Danny says, if I'm not mistaken, and
Speaker 1: I'm not, wasn't your science test do back today? How'd
Speaker 1: you do? DJ tries to avoid this conversation, telling her
Speaker 1: Dad that she should really get back to work, but
Speaker 1: Danny wants to hear how she did. He asks if
Speaker 1: she brought the test with her. DJ nods and walks
Speaker 1: over to grab the test from her backpack, admitting, I'll
Speaker 1: show you, but there's something I should really tell you.
Speaker 1: Danny stares at the paper in awe, you got an A.
Speaker 1: This is going right up on the refrigerator.
Speaker 3: Now, Danny, I'm starting to question you a little bit.
Speaker 1: Or do you think THEA is?
Speaker 3: Actually?
Speaker 1: Is this fool so many people? Kimmy's not the dumb one.
Speaker 1: Everybody else is the dumb one.
Speaker 3: Jimmy's like, I'm just meeting you guys where you're at.
Speaker 1: Okay? She she has a good read on the Tanners
Speaker 1: and their gullibility. Yes, So DJ takes the paper from
Speaker 1: him and begins to explain this isn't really what, but
Speaker 1: Danny cuts her off. He admits, I'm a little embarrassed
Speaker 1: to tell you this, but I had my doubts about you,
Speaker 1: but you just proved to me that you can hold
Speaker 1: a job and actually improve on your schoolwork. I have
Speaker 1: never been so proud. And then he asks, what is
Speaker 1: it you wanted to tell me? How many sitcom misunderstandings
Speaker 1: would be easily solved if people would just stop interrupting
Speaker 1: and let the other person finish a sentence.
Speaker 2: Well, because in sitcom land only one person can speak
Speaker 2: at a time. That the rules of engagement are totally
Speaker 2: different than they are in the real world.
Speaker 1: They are, yes, they are no rules don't apply your socializity.
Speaker 1: It's not like let me talk.
Speaker 2: No, it is like, oh no, I've stopped talking and
Speaker 2: you're talking, and you're taking us down this road and
Speaker 2: now I have to follow you.
Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah, it is so true and it's it's such
Speaker 1: a trope and it's hysterical.
Speaker 3: I don't know why, but when Danny said I had
Speaker 3: my doubts about you that one, I felt like, how
Speaker 3: that's just kind of hurt.
Speaker 1: Well, I guess doubts that he could juggle the job
Speaker 1: and the science test. I know that. I like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I just feel like.
Speaker 2: Like I really thought you'd suck, but here we are,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like it's a brutal it's a little brutal.
Speaker 2: Like I know what the sentiment was struck me as like,
Speaker 2: especially for dj something your friend would say, but like
Speaker 2: when your parents.
Speaker 1: Like I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think you would make it.
Speaker 1: I never really thought you would fail.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's something they say to you when you're
Speaker 2: like thirty five, and you know what I mean, and
Speaker 2: they're like telling you the truth about who you were
Speaker 2: as a child.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, no, well it's it's DJ is such
Speaker 1: a straight A student that. Yeah, Danny shouldn't really be
Speaker 1: surprised by the the A because you know, that's that's
Speaker 1: how she do So DJ, of course, just can't bring
Speaker 1: herself to say what she wanted to say. Instead, she
Speaker 1: tells him there's a sale on sponges down at Broombarn.
Speaker 1: Oh is that next to Pickleton? Yes, I got it.
Speaker 1: Excellentographer makes his way over to the family and he
Speaker 1: tells Danny what beautiful children? Can I help you people?
Speaker 1: Danny admits, we had no intention of having any pictures taken,
Speaker 1: but your bright young assistant convinced me to get some
Speaker 1: shots of my sweet little Michelle over there. Dja's boss
Speaker 1: is happy to hear this. He asks her to start
Speaker 1: happy helping, so DJ grabs Michelle's hand and pretends like
Speaker 1: she doesn't know her. Danny tells a photographer that bright
Speaker 1: young lady in the clown costume is fabulous. Better give
Speaker 1: her a raise. But what the heck do I know?
Speaker 1: I've never seen her before in my life. Danny shut up, Like, Danny,
Speaker 1: you are making stop talking.
Speaker 3: You know that's one thing Danny cannot do.
Speaker 1: He cannot do it. So DJ asks Michelle to say cheese,
Speaker 1: but Michelle reminds her, you mean say cheese. Please. DJ
Speaker 1: corrects herself and Michelle does as she's told. She holds
Speaker 1: her hands up to her chin and poses sweetly for
Speaker 1: the camera. Danny fakes a gasp. This is amazing, My
Speaker 1: sweet little Michelle has never smiled in her entire life. Michelle,
Speaker 1: I honestly asking more questions about that. I'd be like,
Speaker 1: really the photographer. The photographer is either like, I'll put
Speaker 1: up with this kook as long as I get his
Speaker 1: money and he doesn't have to write a check.
Speaker 2: But honestly, no, as long as he writes me a check,
Speaker 2: I'm good. You know he doesn't Care's nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 2: Everybody's writing checks, checks.
Speaker 1: For groceries, checks for photo studios, checks for everything. Yes,
Speaker 1: you know. Okay, So back in the kitchen, Stephanie brings
Speaker 1: a glass of milk and a hostess cupcake on a
Speaker 1: plate over to the table to eat. This is very,
Speaker 1: very formal for a cupcake plate and only one. Come on,
Speaker 1: come on, this is not believable. Michelle is eyeing her
Speaker 1: dessert and asks, may I have that cupcake please? Stephanie responds, no,
Speaker 1: you may not. Michelle argues, but I was polite and
Speaker 1: I said please. Stephanie counters, I was polite too, I
Speaker 1: said no, you may not. Michelle snaps. She pulls the
Speaker 1: star off of her sweatshirt and slams it on the table.
Speaker 1: She angrily states, guess what politeness week is over? She
Speaker 1: grabs cupcake and runs out of the room with it
Speaker 1: and stuff. Shows what happens.
Speaker 3: When you tell Michelle no, right right? She loses it.
Speaker 1: She loses it the first time. Yes, she was just
Speaker 1: like I'm not getting what I want by sugar. Have
Speaker 1: you noticed, yeah, the cake between the cake obsession, the
Speaker 1: sugar benches. Yeah, yep. This is how she's self soothing
Speaker 1: in this family where she's left alone. She left alone
Speaker 1: a lot, right, Yeah, She's like, I'll just I'll fill
Speaker 1: that void in my heart with cake and cupcakes. This
Speaker 1: is how she copes. So Jesse walks into the kitchen
Speaker 1: and sees DJ's science test hanging on the fridge. At first,
Speaker 1: he admires the a, but then he holds it up
Speaker 1: to the light and realizes it's fake.
Speaker 2: Finally, only one that figured it, And I mean I
Speaker 2: know why, Yeah, yeah, I get the whole family.
Speaker 1: He's the only one, yep, and that only one that
Speaker 1: knows what an a looks like in the family. I
Speaker 1: guess he's the only one that knows what a forgery
Speaker 1: looks like because he did it all throughout high school.
Speaker 1: At that moment, DJ runs down the stairs. She notices
Speaker 1: Jesse eyeing her paper, so she tries to sneak back up,
Speaker 1: but he spots her. He casually mentions her a paper
Speaker 1: and she tells him, oh, it was nothing, So Jesse
Speaker 1: decides to read her answers aloud so he can see
Speaker 1: what an A paper looks like. On question one, DJ said,
Speaker 1: photosynthesis is the process of photos being synthesized, and then
Speaker 1: he wonders what an F paper looks like. He places
Speaker 1: his fingers over Kimmy's forgery and shows her it looks
Speaker 1: something like this, the big f. DJ asks how he knew,
Speaker 1: and Jesse scoffs at the question, telling Telly DJ, he
Speaker 1: used to change forties to nineties, zero's to hundreds, and
Speaker 1: he brags about the time he changed awful to awesome.
Speaker 1: Kind of impressive. Actually, yeah. DJ stares at him in shock,
Speaker 1: and Jesse finally stops himself. He tells her the point
Speaker 1: is it was wrong and what she did is wrong too.
Speaker 1: DJ tries to defend herself, Kimmy was the one who
Speaker 1: changed the grade. Jesse points out, yes, but you didn't
Speaker 1: do anything about it, did you. When she has no response,
Speaker 1: he asks, you know what you have to do with
Speaker 1: this paper, don't you? And DJ hopes keep my mouth
Speaker 1: shut and do better next time. Jesse shakes his head no,
Speaker 1: and DJ accepts defeat. She asks where her dad is,
Speaker 1: and Jesse points her towards the living room, where Danny
Speaker 1: is rotating couch cushions. This was good. This was a
Speaker 1: good little the moment between Jesse and This was a good.
Speaker 1: He knows about.
Speaker 3: Forgery and screwed up plenty of times.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's passing that knowledge down to DJ. Now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so in the living room, sure enough, Danny is rotating
Speaker 1: couch cushions, which is actually, I do this, this is necessary.
Speaker 3: I was like oh, am rot there's always one that
Speaker 3: you sit on all the time. You got to switch
Speaker 3: it out with the other.
Speaker 1: You got to switch it out so you don't get away,
Speaker 1: so you don't. Yeah, yeah, no, this is smart. This
Speaker 1: is not neurotic.
Speaker 3: No, this is not neurotic. This is this is good housekeeping.
Speaker 1: Good housekeeping, I totally agree. DJ approaches him with the
Speaker 1: paper in her hand and decides to give and he
Speaker 1: decides to give her a helpful hint, always rotate your
Speaker 1: couch cushions every twenty twenty five thousand sits. DJ tells
Speaker 1: them they need to talk, so they sit on the
Speaker 1: newly rotated cushions. She asks Danny, you know what I
Speaker 1: like about you best? And Danny guesses my charm, my rugged,
Speaker 1: good looks, and DJ says, you're forgiving nature. She takes
Speaker 1: a deep breath before admitting my science grade was an
Speaker 1: F and Kimmy changed it to an A. Danny stares
Speaker 1: at the paper in awe and says, I'm guessing she
Speaker 1: doesn't have the authority to do this. DJ tries to
Speaker 1: tell her dad how sorry she is, but with work
Speaker 1: and all of her other classes, she didn't have time
Speaker 1: to study for the test. Danny sternly tells her, then
Speaker 1: you should have come to me and told me what
Speaker 1: was going on. You wanted to be a responsible adult,
Speaker 1: and this was the least responsible thing you could have done.
Speaker 1: DJ size, I just wanted to prove that I could
Speaker 1: earn my own money. Danny tells her that's all out
Speaker 1: the window. Now she's gonna have to quit her job,
Speaker 1: and he won't allow her to hang out at the
Speaker 1: mall until her grade is up. DJ sighs, Okay, I
Speaker 1: guess I'll go back to being a kid again. Danny
Speaker 1: softens his tone and puts his arm around his daughter.
Speaker 1: He tells her there's nothing wrong with being a kid.
Speaker 1: In fact, she should enjoy it. She's got the rest
Speaker 1: of her life to be an adult. So it's so true.
Speaker 1: DJ admits, well, I guess if being an adult means
Speaker 1: wearing a red mop on my head, I can handle
Speaker 1: being a kid a little bit longer. Danny laughs, like it.
Speaker 2: I feel like it does metaphorically, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I feel like much of the time as an adult
Speaker 2: you're dressed as a clown.
Speaker 1: It's just in your own mind.
Speaker 3: You're right, you know.
Speaker 1: This isn't worth it?
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this sucks. Yeah it works. Yep. Uh so
Speaker 1: where am I?
Speaker 3: Danny last interrupted.
Speaker 1: No, that's okay, Danny tells her, in case I forgot
Speaker 1: to mention it, you're a pretty great kid. She gives
Speaker 1: him a big hug and thanks him for the compliment,
Speaker 1: and then she pulls out her first and last paycheck.
Speaker 1: They both look at it, and Danny wonders, are you
Speaker 1: going to use it to help pay for those blowouts?
Speaker 1: And DJ is surprised he would ask such a thing.
Speaker 1: Are you kidding pay one hundred and sixty dollars for shoes?
Speaker 1: Do you know how much quacking and waddling I had
Speaker 1: to do to earn this money? It's going in the bank.
Speaker 1: Not so like kids are so willing to spend your money,
Speaker 1: but when it's their money, they don't want to spend
Speaker 1: any of it, right, Yeah, no.
Speaker 2: My kids, My kids will spend like they'll try and
Speaker 2: sort of spend their money.
Speaker 1: Are they good at saving? Are they good at saving
Speaker 1: their money? No? No, I mean they're saving them.
Speaker 2: They're good at spending the money. They don't have any
Speaker 2: problem being like, oh I wouldn't buy that. They're like no,
Speaker 2: I would totally buy that. Yes, it's worth it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Danny nods approvingly. It looks like DJ's understanding
Speaker 1: the value of a dollar. She nods an agreement. I am,
Speaker 1: and I appreciate how you're gonna feel when I ask
Speaker 1: you this. Can I have a raise on my allowance?
Speaker 1: Danny pivots the conversation back to the couch cushions, but
Speaker 1: DJ tries to plead her case. They argue back and
Speaker 1: forth as the audience chairs, And that is our show,
Speaker 1: loving it? Hi? That was that was That was an episode.
Speaker 1: That was a not a bad episode.
Speaker 2: It was a cute episode and very like relevant to
Speaker 2: that stage of life. I know, you know Zoe has

Speaker 1: picked out and I wore at home.
Speaker 3: It did seem quite tame.
Speaker 1: It seemed tame, camble like the floor. It was not attractive,
Speaker 1: but it was tamer than Kimmy's normal wacky pattern situation.
Speaker 2: This was It was like a knit cardigan with sort
Speaker 2: of three D flowers. Yeah, onto it right.
Speaker 1: It looked like, you know, a grandmother's couch or something.
Speaker 1: You know. It was. It was not fashionable, but not
Speaker 1: very gibbler. This was my own.
Speaker 2: Maybe you really do you think maybe you really hated

Speaker 2: like you brought.
Speaker 1: That in or something, wondering why, like, was there a
Speaker 1: budgetary issue, Like, no, it was probably Yeah. I didn't
