Speaker 1: day and I was like, I can't talk. I'm a
Speaker 1: Joey McIntyre's show, I can't talk.
Speaker 3: So I just was like, justrified that I even thought
Speaker 3: of interrupting, didn't you.
Speaker 2: I didn't have it on my calendar that Andrea was
Speaker 2: going to the Joey mcdie.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I failed. You didn't know. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1: I just didn't need to blow you off, but I
Speaker 1: knew you would understand that blow me blew you away. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you circle back the next day. I was like, no,
Speaker 1: not a circle back.
Speaker 2: No, not a loop around, not a touch base, no nothing.
Speaker 1: No, I could you exited my mind? I thought of
Speaker 1: I didn't think of you again until right now. So
Speaker 1: sorry about that.
Speaker 3: Welcome to my world. This is if I have like
Speaker 3: zero object permanence, if it's a drawer, I.
Speaker 1: Forget I have it, okay, Like I have to look
Speaker 1: at things. So you're a visual Yeah, I'm a visual
Speaker 1: person too.
Speaker 2: Speaking of visuals, how was the Joey McIntyre It was
Speaker 2: so good?
Speaker 1: You get was the seats good? Were great? Like the whole.
Speaker 1: First of all, the whole weekend was one of the
Speaker 1: best weekends I've had in such a long time. My
Speaker 1: friends Katie from Connecticut Andrea from Arizona, Uh, they flew
Speaker 1: out and stayed with me for the weekend, and it
Speaker 1: was just such perfect timing. Not that we had planned
Speaker 1: it this way, but with you know, losing Holly a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, and I just in my half.
Speaker 1: I needed a distraction, I needed friends, I needed laughter,
Speaker 1: and they provided all of it. It was so fun.
Speaker 1: They went to They went with me to Felicity show
Speaker 1: Choir performance, her performance, which was fantastic. We went to Alcholo,
Speaker 1: which is fantastic. We went to a little Korean mall
Speaker 1: and got some skincare which was fantastic, and then we
Speaker 1: saw you know. The the ultimate was the Joe Mack
Speaker 1: his Freedom Tour, which kicked off in Anaheim at the
Speaker 1: House of Blues on Monday night, and he was fantastic.
Speaker 1: I expect nothing less. I mean I stressed all day
Speaker 1: about like logistics and what, you know, where are we
Speaker 1: gonna have dinner and what when do we have to
Speaker 1: check in? And where? No. I was just playing no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. But the logistics of me getting to
Speaker 1: this event almost as complicated as Planet a whole tour,
Speaker 1: because you know, it's like when does the box office open?
Speaker 1: On my tickets? At the box office, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Michael's like, why did you just text him and ask
Speaker 1: him where your tickets are? And I'm like, no, I
Speaker 1: don't want to disturb him. No, he's in like prep mode.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to disturb him, so I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: go up. But I mean, I feel like he should
Speaker 1: have let you know he's before that. He's a boy.
Speaker 1: He's a boy. He's just like, hang got you.
Speaker 3: But like this, you know, you gotta be like, yo,
Speaker 3: where's where do I pick him up?
Speaker 1: We'll call your pocket? What are we you talking? Well,
Speaker 1: the first mistake was we showed up an hour early,
Speaker 1: Like the ticketmaster said that the show started at seven,
Speaker 1: but it was doors at seven. Shows starts at eight,
Speaker 1: So he showed up two hours early and my tickets
Speaker 1: were not at will call. But she's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: the artist sometimes holds back tickets so he can give
Speaker 1: them to you in person. And I'm like, I try
Speaker 1: not to bother him, Like I don't want like, just
Speaker 1: if he is holding on to them.
Speaker 2: To give to you, he realizes there is going to
Speaker 2: be an interaction that is obviously not bothersome times.
Speaker 1: What if he's in sound check, what if he's like
Speaker 1: having a meal. I don't know. I didn't want to
Speaker 1: bother him. Probably wait and be like, yo, I'll hit
Speaker 1: you at fifteen. Anyways, the lovely tour manager shout out
Speaker 1: to Justin. He came out and didn't have tickets, but
Speaker 1: he was like, oh, let me personally escore you. We
Speaker 1: created a row for you. And I'm like what. So
Speaker 1: then I overanalyzed this and I'm like, did Joe forget
Speaker 1: about me and this is the last minute, let's add
Speaker 1: a row for Andrew because we're sold out? Or did
Speaker 1: was he like, Oh, she's a special guest. I'm going
Speaker 1: to create a row for her. I still haven't decided whether,
Speaker 1: you know what, how I'm going to interpret this gesture,
Speaker 1: But it was a lovely gesture. We had great season,
Speaker 1: not front row. We were in the back of like
Speaker 1: a section that was on the stage stage. No, no,
Speaker 1: I was the crown of every shot. I would have.
Speaker 1: I would have, but I absolutely would have. The show
Speaker 1: was fantastic. There's nothing better than solo Joe. I love
Speaker 1: all the new kids, but he really shines when it's
Speaker 1: just him. Yeah, saying all of his newest hits on
Speaker 1: his Freedom album. He's sang some deep cuts. He sings
Speaker 1: Please Don't Go Girl. I mean it was just the
Speaker 1: lighting was so good, he sings, was so much heart. Yeah.
Speaker 1: He wore a mesh shirt as a throwback to the nineties.
Speaker 1: It was just everything. No, no, it's perfection shirt. I
Speaker 1: love it shirt. Yes, And his hair was kind of
Speaker 1: like he had really high like the boy band hair
Speaker 1: was extra boy bandish. He looked a little bit like
Speaker 1: like a porcupine, very high. Yeah, I had like this sculp.
Speaker 1: It was well sculpted. Yeah. I was just Oh, it
Speaker 1: was such a great night. And we did get to
Speaker 1: go backstage and say hi to him. He was very
Speaker 1: kind and sat with us for ten minutes and we
Speaker 1: chatted just about that huge.
Speaker 3: Tour bother for him.
Speaker 1: I bet I thought it was really I didn't want
Speaker 1: to him. I never I don't have it. I show
Speaker 1: up without expectations. I just you know, it happened organically
Speaker 1: and it was so lovely and he's just so kind,
Speaker 1: So I'm sure he's listening to this. Thank you Joey
Speaker 1: McIntyre for it, obvious night. Who knows he's on tour
Speaker 1: right now. He's up in Sacramento on his way. I
Speaker 1: think Favor is next. Yeah, so travel, what are you

Speaker 1: To do that.
Speaker 2: This is I'm setting my way and I was like, God,

Speaker 2: off of like things that I've that we've seen in
Speaker 2: Whose Lines?
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a great a great place to find inspiration
Speaker 1: for improv. Comedy. Improv doesn't get better, and it's so intimidating.
Speaker 1: I really admire the actors that do that because that's hard.

Speaker 1: tough guy. Yeah, from the sewers. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know either. We got we have a whole season
Speaker 1: to find out, so I will be waiting with baited breath.
Speaker 1: So there's no teaser. We go straight to credits, and
Speaker 1: then we are in the kitchen. Jesse is feeding Nikki
Speaker 1: a bottle and jokes that the baby needs to save
Speaker 1: room for the peaking duck. He laughs at his own
Speaker 1: joke and says, oh, just a little solid food humor.
Speaker 1: I don't know the last.
Speaker 3: Gone with the burrito myself, But peaking duck is funny,
Speaker 3: king duck.
Speaker 1: Doesn't that a call back to another like when they
Speaker 1: did the peaking peaking with the duck, the ceramic duck
Speaker 1: in the kitchen, So I feel like that was a
Speaker 1: callback to that. But whatever, Okay, not the strongest start
Speaker 1: to the episode. But could have said fried chicken, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: cold fried chicken. It would have been funny. That would
Speaker 1: have been funnier, yea. So then Jesse sets Nicky's car
Speaker 1: seat right next to Alex's, and Becky walks downstairs, all
Speaker 1: dressed for work and admires her boys. She says, oh,
Speaker 1: I can't believe I have to go back to work already.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna miss my pooky bear so much, and Jesse
Speaker 1: reminds her you'll see them in an hour. You're putting
Speaker 1: them on your show today. Becky whinds, but what if
Speaker 1: they do something cute? What if they learn to talk?
Speaker 1: And Jesse sarcastically responds, I'll have them call you. Then
Speaker 1: Danny walks into the kitchen and tells Becky, they gotta go,
Speaker 1: he adds with remorse, today's our big farewell to Vicky show.
Speaker 1: And Becky puts a hand on her hip and Danny
Speaker 1: gives her a smile and are even bigger, welcome back
Speaker 1: Becky's show, and he gives Becky a kiss on the cheek.
Speaker 1: Jesse is surprised to see Danny's cheerful demeanor. He thought
Speaker 1: that he'd be down in the dumps about Vicky's last day.
Speaker 1: Danny forces a smile down me, mister up, mister life
Speaker 1: of the party. Oh yeah, man, let the good times roll.
Speaker 1: Then he quickly changes his tone and begins to sob
Speaker 1: Why did she have to go? I feel like we
Speaker 1: haven't seen a whole lot of Danny and Vicky's Like
Speaker 1: there's been a couple of miners couple, Yeah, but no,
Speaker 1: like real it was all the storylines were about them
Speaker 1: getting together. We haven't seen much of the current relationship.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we kind of went well, and it was sort
Speaker 2: of a sudden jump from like they were sort of
Speaker 2: liking each other to like she walked in the door
Speaker 2: and gave him a kiss. Right, we had that moment
Speaker 2: where we're like, oh, okay, we're there, right, yeah, it
Speaker 2: was never. There was never like an episode where it
Speaker 2: was like I think, I think, I think I'm gonna
Speaker 2: make it official, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then now she's leaving for Chicago. I know
Speaker 1: she comes back because she's in the Disney World episode
Speaker 1: whenever that is in the future, But I don't know
Speaker 1: is she in any other episodes? Like, I don't know
Speaker 1: what I was really enjoyed. Did you watch this one?
Speaker 1: You know what? Excuse me a hiccup? Did you let me.
Speaker 3: Try that again?
Speaker 1: Did you watch this episode? Do you know? Uh, you
Speaker 1: know what happens? Yeah, I know what happens, but she's
Speaker 1: I'm just do you not getting rich of wed? No?
Speaker 1: But I just spoil it, guys, But uh, Vicky stage,
Speaker 1: it was just this was sudden. This just felt sudden
Speaker 1: for me. I wish I could have seen more of
Speaker 1: like build up to make this goodbye, the alleged goodbye. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it wasn't a good not a good pay We have
Speaker 1: a note. We have a note from our wonderful poster Maddie.
Speaker 1: According to Google, Steph's birthday is January fourteenth, and DJ's
Speaker 1: birthday is February ninth. Okay, all right, all right, so
Speaker 1: like five days earlier. Okay, Like, I like, if you're
Speaker 1: still you're still in the same horse. It still a capricorn,
Speaker 1: Still a capricorn, right, yea, yeah, okay. So Joey walks
Speaker 1: into the kitchen and greets everyone while staring up at
Speaker 1: the ceiling. He's wearing his Ranger Joe uniform to remind
Speaker 1: all of us that he's still employed, and has mister
Speaker 1: Woodchuck at his side, who is also gazing at the ceiling.
Speaker 1: Everyone stops what they're doing to look up to Danny
Speaker 1: curiously asks what are we looking at? Ranger Joe. Joey
Speaker 1: admits he has a stiff neck, saying I sure hope
Speaker 1: my neck loosens up before my show or it's gonna
Speaker 1: be bird watching day, which I would love, I would
Speaker 1: tune in. I was like, this is right, you'd be like,
Speaker 1: move out of the way, Ranger Joe.
Speaker 3: Kimmy's coming for Iteah, we've got the turkey vultures are
Speaker 3: now out encircling my house.
Speaker 1: That's it's turkey vulture season. Those ugliest birds I've ever seen.
Speaker 3: I know because there were several that fell out of
Speaker 3: a nest in Zoe's dad's backyard. Showed me like they
Speaker 3: it looked like the fledging didn't maybe go or something.
Speaker 1: They were common. But yeah they're massive. Oh yeah, they're
Speaker 1: huge and ugly and but you're fascinating to watch. Oh totally.
Speaker 1: So then mister Woodchuck shines in. Yeah, we can look
Speaker 1: for woodpeckers. Becky makes a joke, well, Joey, keep your
Speaker 1: chin up. Ha I guess you have no choice, and
Speaker 1: then Danny, Becky and Joey exit the kitchen. You notice
Speaker 1: that Joey consistently has these anthropomorphic objects that are always
Speaker 1: matching what he's doing. The mannequin always was wearing the
Speaker 1: same outfit as him. Mister Woodchuck is like looking up
Speaker 1: like him. Yeah, this is a fascinating psychological study. Why
Speaker 1: is like what doesn't need a best friend?
Speaker 2: There's probably some some sort of like trauma in his
Speaker 2: in his childhood from that very strict father, and so
Speaker 2: he inadimate objects to uh sort of channel himself through
Speaker 2: it so he can be himself. But it's sort of
Speaker 2: through the lens of the puppet, so it's not really
Speaker 2: you know, it doesn't doesn't feel too personal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, subjection doesn't take on that Yeah, yeah, yeah, the
Speaker 1: emotion to do the things.
Speaker 2: But he yeah, Oh, I'm I'm going to go get
Speaker 2: a puppet.
Speaker 1: This makes a lot of sense and explains a lot
Speaker 1: about Joey Gladstone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and why he doesn't have a girlfriend.
Speaker 1: Right doesn't need one, He's got inadimant objects to talk to.
Speaker 1: On cue, Michelle, DJ and Stephanie walk downstairs, all ready
Speaker 1: for school. DJ is sternly telling Steph forget it. You
Speaker 1: cannot borrow my clothes. Stephanie begs please. DJ says no.
Speaker 1: They go back and forth until Steph says please please please.
Speaker 1: Michelle pipes up to take the reins. She tells DJ,
Speaker 1: I'll do it and wags her finger at Steph, saying no, no, no.
Speaker 1: DJ focuses her attention on Steph once more. Remember my
Speaker 1: clothes are untouchable, off limits. This means you understand, And
Speaker 1: with that she walks out the door. Steph solemnly responds,
Speaker 1: I understand. But as soon as DJ's out of the door,
Speaker 1: she turns to Michelle and unzips her jacket. Not I'm
Speaker 1: wearing DJ's sweater. Michelle gasps in complete shock. She's gonna
Speaker 1: have a cow. Jesse hands Michelle and stephanieither sit under
Speaker 1: the table. Yeah, the cow in the kitchen.
Speaker 3: There's a cow in the cow in the kitchen.
Speaker 1: Under the table. For anyone who doesn't know what we're
Speaker 1: talking about, there was an episode of Fuller House with
Speaker 1: a cow, a life sized real cow.
Speaker 2: That Jeff wanted to fit under the table that could
Speaker 2: not physically happened in this.
Speaker 1: And Jeff was like, well, what we have to make
Speaker 1: the joke work. So the cow has to fit under
Speaker 1: the table. And the handler's like, like, the cow wolt
Speaker 1: fit at the table.
Speaker 2: You're looking at the same cow. I am right, Yeah, anyways,
Speaker 2: I love that cow.
Speaker 1: Back to the cows. Okay, So Jesse hands you guys
Speaker 1: your lunches and these tiny little lunch like these are
Speaker 1: not the regular brown bag lunches. It's like their tiny
Speaker 1: little I don't know, pastry bags or something. But anyways,
Speaker 1: I was worried that you guys were going to be
Speaker 1: hungry at school later with your lack of lunch.
Speaker 2: The kids are they get to that age and they're like,
Speaker 2: they don't eat, they're eating anything all day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. That's why they, you know, raid the
Speaker 1: snack cupboard when they get home from school. Uh So,
Speaker 1: Jesse checks on the twins and then the phone rings.
Speaker 1: He answers it and excitedly tells the boys that it's
Speaker 1: the record company. Here we go? Which one this time?
Speaker 1: Which one?
Speaker 2: Which one the Wisch record said that already put them
Speaker 2: on tour or the one that canceled the tour or
Speaker 2: the one that said, I don't use which record company
Speaker 2: were it?
Speaker 1: Yes? I think it's intentionally vague. I don't know what are.
Speaker 3: We talking Yeah, just death Row? Like what record company
Speaker 3: are we talking about here?
Speaker 1: Jesse?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yes, please be more specific, Jesse. Uh so, he asks
Speaker 1: the person on the other line, tell me you love
Speaker 1: the song? You like the song? He starts to ramble, Oh, well,
Speaker 1: maybe you can learn to love it. I mean like
Speaker 1: as a kid, I hated blue cheese. I thought it
Speaker 1: was like eating sweat socks. But eventually and the person
Speaker 1: on the other end says something in Jesse's demeanor turns
Speaker 1: to sadness. Right, okay, I'm sorry too, and he hangs
Speaker 1: up the phone. He lets out a huge sigh and
Speaker 1: tells his sons, your old man got rejected again, but
Speaker 1: you still love me? Right? And the baby stare at
Speaker 1: him blankly. In response, he.
Speaker 5: He's gone from job to job and tour to record
Speaker 5: studio in the basement to the thing to add man,
Speaker 5: I think I think Jesse's.
Speaker 1: Doing he's he's an artist. Rejection.
Speaker 3: Yeah, rejection, very seriously, if you're gonna be an artist,
Speaker 3: you have to get used to rejection and insistent.
Speaker 1: Yeah it is not easy. He's he's comforting himself by
Speaker 1: trying to get validation from his infants, like, yeah, this
Speaker 1: is he's taken it. He's taking it badly. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what when you're a musician, when you're an artist,
Speaker 1: this is what happens. Sometimes you're out of work. Uh,
Speaker 1: And he says that in the same book, out of
Speaker 1: work high fives, out of work high fives, and he
Speaker 1: high fives his babies. Next, on the set of Wake
Speaker 1: Up San Francisco, First, Danny and Vicky start the show
Speaker 1: together and sadly, Vicky announces that this is her last
Speaker 1: day because Becky is back from maternity leave. She longingly
Speaker 1: looks at Danny it admits I'm gonna miss you, Danny.
Speaker 1: Danny stares right back, starts to lean in and says, oh, Vicky.
Speaker 1: He continues to almost kiss her on air, but thankfully
Speaker 1: he stops himself and says, you know, I just forgot
Speaker 1: we're still on camera. They both turned to the camera
Speaker 1: and awkwardly laugh. Then Danny announces that he has a
Speaker 1: surprise for her. I spoke to our station manager and
Speaker 1: he wants you to do the weather reports right here
Speaker 1: on Wake Up San Francisco. Isn't that wonderful? And Vicki
Speaker 1: WinCE's at the suggestion, Uh, it would be, except this morning,
Speaker 1: I was offered an incredible job anchoring the news in Chicago.
Speaker 1: It's a no brainer to me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she was a news anchor, right, the weather girl.
Speaker 1: That would be a demotion.
Speaker 3: Excuse me, not a weather meteorologist. Meteorology just sounded very sexist,
Speaker 3: and I Apologizell, it's not what I meant.
Speaker 2: That's okay, But it felt like that was what they
Speaker 2: were calling her, you know what I mean, That's what
Speaker 2: the It felt like, going from like, hey, you're actually
Speaker 2: a really downed news anchor.
Speaker 1: Would you like to host the weather? Yeah? It was
Speaker 1: a little no, there's anything. No, we need meteorologists, we
Speaker 1: need their important job that there.
Speaker 2: We actually uh have anything to have them meteorologize off
Speaker 2: of anymore, because I think we pretty much got rid
Speaker 2: of all those things.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you know, just Loo. Yeah, the sky is
Speaker 1: still there. Okay, So Danny wonders, Chicago, the windy City.
Speaker 1: You'll have to wear a hat, you'll get hat hair.
Speaker 1: Vicky admits that they'll have to talk about this after
Speaker 1: the show, and she tries to bring Becky on stage,
Speaker 1: but Danny won't let it go. Chicago, didn't they have
Speaker 1: a really big fire there? Vicky assures him it was
Speaker 1: over one hundred years ago. I'm sure it's out by now.
Speaker 2: I mean San Francisco too, Yeah, yeah, you really want
Speaker 2: to do you have some terrible fires.
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of disasters in both major cities.
Speaker 1: So this was, yeah, weak excuse for Danny, but he's desperate.
Speaker 1: He's grasping at straws. He doesn't want her to leave. Finally,
Speaker 1: Becky takes things into her own hands, stepping into the
Speaker 1: shot and introducing herself. Hi, I'm Rebecca Donaldson and I'm
Speaker 1: welcoming myself back to the show. Welcome back, Becky, and
Speaker 1: Vicky and Danny both smile. Welcome back, Becky. Becky proceeds
Speaker 1: with her segment, telling the viewers, I would like all
Speaker 1: of you to meet the two reasons that I've been
Speaker 1: out of work for the last eight weeks. Ah, eight weeks.
Speaker 1: I was wondering how long was this maternity leave?
Speaker 2: So two months, maybe longer than anybody gets in this country.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, that's a really long maternity right, so that's
Speaker 1: a europe maternity leave. Yeah. Yeah, sad but true. So
Speaker 1: she says, Nicky and Alex come on in, boys and
Speaker 1: this is my wonderful husband Jesse. Becky boasts that the
Speaker 1: boys are identical twins and jokes except Alex has a
Speaker 1: birthmark on his tissue, just like his daddy. Jesse is
Speaker 1: completely embarrassed and starts to walk off the set, but
Speaker 1: Becky forces him back and tells everyone she is so
Speaker 1: proud of him because today he's going to take care
Speaker 1: of the kids, do the shopping, do the laundry, and
Speaker 1: cook a wonderful dinner. Jesse tries to maintain some of
Speaker 1: his macho ness, and right after that, I'm going to
Speaker 1: rustle a bob kat with my bear hands. Sure you're Jesse,
Speaker 1: he's very threatened. He's very well yeah right, no, right,
Speaker 1: have you seen this guy in play sports? Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: he's this is just this is just the beginning of
Speaker 1: uh oh, I know this storyline. So yes, Jesse's upset,
Speaker 1: Jesse's threatened, Jesse's ubsess, He's just upset. Next, at the
Speaker 1: grocery store, Jesse is shopping with the boys. He jokingly
Speaker 1: weighs one of the babies on the produce scale, have
Speaker 1: mercy fourteen pounds? Have you guys been sneaking down to
Speaker 1: the kitchen eating cheeseburgers at night? He continues shopping with
Speaker 1: one baby strapped to his chest and the other seated
Speaker 1: in the shopping cart. He grabs a melon and explains
Speaker 1: to the boys, this is what you're gonna look like
Speaker 1: if you don't start growing hair. It's very obsessed with
Speaker 1: these boys growing hair.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it's like honeydew from the Muppets.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, that's super cool.
Speaker 3: So can we look at the grocery prices please and
Speaker 3: just have a moment.
Speaker 1: I was startled, stunned.
Speaker 2: Ninety nine cents for cauliflour and seventy nine cents for
Speaker 2: egg plants.
Speaker 1: Wow, wow, under a dollar? Under a dollar? Yes, I
Speaker 1: know it's it's depressing.
Speaker 2: It's depressing when you've got to take out a loan
Speaker 2: to get more than one egg plant these days. I know,
Speaker 2: if you want a dozen eggs, whipp forget it.
Speaker 1: That's not it. That's like a much payment. Yep, yeah,
Speaker 1: you better own own chickens, grow your own vegetables in
Speaker 1: the backyard with the.
Speaker 2: Other and easily spent like two and a half times
Speaker 2: as much.
Speaker 3: For what I always I was like, yeah, Trader Joe's
Speaker 3: what are you doing?
Speaker 1: I know, I know it's depressing. It is depressing to
Speaker 1: have to eat in this these days.
Speaker 2: But we can always dream of seventy nine cent egg plants,
Speaker 2: which sounds not the way I meant it.
Speaker 1: I mean, you can dream of that too, if.
Speaker 3: You like, I guess some people do for seventy eggs.
Speaker 3: That sounds disappointing, you know, not when you'd want to
Speaker 3: discount egg plant.
Speaker 1: So then stephan Michelle appear from one of the aisles.
Speaker 1: Stephanie has her arms full of junk food and states,
Speaker 1: I got our dinner, Uncle Jesse. Jesse shakes his head
Speaker 1: in disapproval. I'm not buying all that junk food. Michelle
Speaker 1: waves a box of vanilla cookies in his face. Well,
Speaker 1: you better buy these cookies. I already ate four. She
Speaker 1: shoves another cookie into her mouth. And corrects herself, I mean.
Speaker 3: Five love a good Nilla Waifer. Oh yeah, it's good stuff.
Speaker 1: She turns to find a row of featured cereal and
Speaker 1: screams at the top of her lungs, Billy Bunny Cereal.
Speaker 1: I gotta have it. Jesse tries to reason with her.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, just because there's some goofy
Speaker 1: character on the box doesn't mean the product is any good.
Speaker 1: Then something on the shelf catches his eye. He runs
Speaker 1: to pick up a jar and exclaims, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: Elvis peanut butter. Steph wonders, isn't that the same thing
Speaker 1: as Billy Bunny cereal? Mean you're not wrong, I'm not wrong,
Speaker 1: Jesse defends himself. No, it's not. Elvis is a man,
Speaker 1: not a cartoon. Now what do you guys want, smooth
Speaker 1: or hunka hunka chunka. I'll take both. That was clever.
Speaker 1: Hunka hunka chunka.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh that's actually that's good. That was clever.
Speaker 1: Jesse walks back to the cart and lovingly bends down
Speaker 1: to Nikki, but his face sours when he smells him
Speaker 1: he needs a diaper change before they head to the
Speaker 1: diaper aisle, Jesse has a temporary solution. He sticks an
Speaker 1: air freshener to the baby's bottom to help with the smell.
Speaker 3: Then he reminds that sound any weird chemical on your
Speaker 3: baby's body?
Speaker 1: It was, I know, remember those ones? Those are the
Speaker 1: word there smell.
Speaker 3: So often terrible yeahs, and it makes me want a gags.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh god, it smells like a puppet. It
Speaker 1: makes it worse. Yeah, whatever you whatever smell you're trying
Speaker 1: to get rid of, is.
Speaker 3: Much moreferable to those those distinct things. Yeah, gas station
Speaker 3: vibes totally.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So then he reminds Michelle and Stuff that they
Speaker 1: need milk and bread, So the girls run to the
Speaker 1: aisle on the right. Jesse yells out, no more junk
Speaker 1: food and on cue Michelle and Stuff run out of
Speaker 1: that aisle and over to the correct one. That's a
Speaker 1: good bit, good little bit there. Jesse continues to contradict
Speaker 1: himself as he runs over to the Elvis peanut butter
Speaker 1: and stalks up on an ungodly amount. Who needs that
Speaker 1: much peanut butter? Jesse does. As he's loading up his cart,
Speaker 1: another dad walks up to him and says, hey, I
Speaker 1: saw you on TV this morning. Obviously.
Speaker 2: Do you think that they meant to make him look
Speaker 2: like the live action version of Ned Flanders.
Speaker 1: Because he one, Oh yeah, he really does well. He's
Speaker 1: supposed to be. I mean, I think he's supposed to
Speaker 1: be like a nerd. He thought he was going to
Speaker 1: be going to neighbor.
Speaker 2: I was waiting for it, yeah, or pop out of
Speaker 2: a bush or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I was he Yeah, he's not. This isn't
Speaker 1: supposed to be a cool dad. He's supposed to be
Speaker 1: kind of a nerve. But he worried. The mustache, the sweater,
Speaker 1: the hair, the voice. He was Ned Flanders, he was
Speaker 1: in the flesh, he was. He nailed it. He absolutely
Speaker 1: nailed it. It was perfect. The man goes on to say
Speaker 1: you're Rebecca's husband, Jesse Donaldson, and Jesse looks like he
Speaker 1: got punched in the gut. He corrects the man, it's Kitsopolis,
Speaker 1: Jesse Kitsopolis. The man shrugs, whatever, I'm George. It's nice
Speaker 1: to meet another house husband, and he reaches out to
Speaker 1: shake Jesse's hand. Jesse chuckles and tells George that he
Speaker 1: is not a house husband. He's a musician. George nods
Speaker 1: with understanding. Yeah, I'm a screenwriter. Jesse continues to explain himself. Look,
Speaker 1: I'm just doing this because my career is temporarily on hold. Okay, again,
Speaker 1: George knows how he's feeling. I said the same thing
Speaker 1: to my wife when she went back to work. That
Speaker 1: was four years ago, and Jesse is in disbelief. So
Speaker 1: for four years, all you've done is take care of
Speaker 1: the kids in the house.
Speaker 3: This that line made me want to slap.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is this, This is.
Speaker 3: Was I was like, oh, this didn't age.
Speaker 1: Well yeah I know, yeah, yeah, yeah, and yeah, I've
Speaker 1: got I got I got more thoughts. I'll save I'll
Speaker 1: save them. But it was very nineteen ninety two. You
Speaker 1: wouldn't see this storyline today.
Speaker 3: Very nineteen seventy two, sixty two, really really two, I
Speaker 3: don't know, it was very Yeah it's old.
Speaker 1: Old school. Uh, George clarifies, well, of course not. I
Speaker 1: mean there's the shopping carpools and my favorite soap, General Hospital.
Speaker 1: Lovely nod to John's former show when he was on
Speaker 1: General Hospital. Then George says he has to run and
Speaker 1: tells Jesse he'll see him on Thursday for double coupon day.
Speaker 1: Jesse responds under his breath, Hope I can sleep Wednesday night.
Speaker 3: Then we switch the twins. You gotta save every cent
Speaker 3: you can.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you need as much sleep as you can get.
Speaker 1: We switch over to Steph and Michelle's grocery adventures. Now
Speaker 1: they're at a Funky Frank's sample table eating little hot dogs.
Speaker 1: Steff admits these Funky Franks are pretty good. I better
Speaker 1: try a few more, just to make sure. She grabs
Speaker 1: a hot dog and a mustard bottle. But when she
Speaker 1: squeezes the mustard, it lands all over DJ's sweater.
Speaker 2: In a totally not staged easy. Uh looks like it
Speaker 2: just happened sort of way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not at all, not at all staged. Your your
Speaker 3: prop work was excellent, Tear. I was like, oh, it
Speaker 3: was great, it really, but it's like, don't.
Speaker 1: Make it on the hot dog. I was right, don't
Speaker 1: make wait, make sure hold it. So Yeah, props are
Speaker 1: stressful when you're a kid, especially, props could be very
Speaker 1: stress when you have to do two props, one in
Speaker 1: each hand. That's it's hard to do.
Speaker 3: I can't act and do props at the same time.
Speaker 1: That's it's too much multitasking for us.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: So Michelle's eyes widen uh oh, and stuff starts to panic.
Speaker 1: What have I done? I got mustard on DJ's sweater.
Speaker 1: Michelle admits she's gonna have a cow. Steph is frantically
Speaker 1: wiping the sweater as she responds, tell me something I
Speaker 1: don't know, So Michelle does yesterday I dropped your toothbrush
Speaker 1: in the toilet. Stephanie looks at her in disbelief, and
Speaker 1: you're definitely, You're definitely got. So that was a great line.
Speaker 1: I mean, the delivery was just fantastic. So then Jesse
Speaker 1: walks over and tells them all they need now are
Speaker 1: paper towels. Michelle walks over to the nearby paper towel
Speaker 1: tower and says I'll get one. She goes to grab
Speaker 1: one on the bottom, but Jesse stops her. Hold it.
Speaker 1: You never take from the bottom, always from the top.
Speaker 1: Like this. You see, as he grabs a paper towel
Speaker 1: roll from the top, he accidentally bumps into it and
Speaker 1: knocks the whole thing down.
Speaker 2: I mean, this looked about as realistic as the mustard,
Speaker 2: so I didn't take it so hard, right, I.
Speaker 1: Was like, you know what, that wasn't.
Speaker 3: Really believable either, So I'm gonna take yeah, and yeah,
Speaker 3: I'll take it.
Speaker 1: No one's doing no one's doing believable accidental prop, prop
Speaker 1: and more.
Speaker 3: Accidents are so hard to do on camera because you.
Speaker 1: Have to be very right. You have to execute it
Speaker 1: exactly the way the director wants you to execute it,
Speaker 1: but make it look like.
Speaker 3: It's not make it look like it's an accident.
Speaker 1: It's actually very stressful. I totally agree. Uh, and Michelle's
Speaker 1: snarkily says, I could have done that. And you know,
Speaker 1: stuff is always getting into trouble with DJ's sweaters. You know,
Speaker 1: you stole the sweater and little shop of sweaters. She'd learn.
Speaker 1: I know, I take the sweaters. Just enough of the sweaters.
Speaker 1: Wear your own clothes, Stephanie. That's that's the lesson. Here
Speaker 1: in the kitchen, Jesse is cooking dinner while Michelle sets
Speaker 1: the table. Then steph walks down the stairs and announces,
Speaker 1: I'm too full to eat dinner. Now I know why
Speaker 1: they call them funky franks. So Jesse instructs Michelle to
Speaker 1: take one plate away. She pretends it's a magic trip,
Speaker 1: magic trick, saying now you see it, now you don't.
Speaker 1: Then a timer buzzes and Steph exclaims, that's my laundry.
Speaker 1: Jesse tells the girls he'll be right back. He just
Speaker 1: needs to check on the boys. Steph opens the dryer
Speaker 1: and tells her little sister, I threw DJ's sweater in.
Speaker 1: I hope that mustard stain came out. Then she holds
Speaker 1: up the sweater and screeches, ah, it shrank. Michelle is
Speaker 1: happy about this. That will fit my Barbie on cue.
Speaker 1: The door opens and DJ and Kimmy come walking in.
Speaker 1: Steph quickly tries to hide the sweater behind her back
Speaker 1: and slowly backs out of the kitchen. She casually says, stage,
Speaker 1: my loving sister, how nice to see you. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna go to the living room and practice my moonwalk.
Speaker 1: DJ and Kimmy sherry puzzled look as Steph shows off
Speaker 1: her moves and DJ scoffs Steph, the eighties are over.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed your moonwalk. That was a thank you, well
Speaker 1: executed moonwalk.
Speaker 2: You know it was better than I expected. Yeah, I expected,
Speaker 2: oh no, and that I didn't fall down backwards. I'm fine,
Speaker 2: but you're fine bits walking forwards that you have a trouble.
Speaker 1: It was the forward direction that's difficult. Then Jesse walks
Speaker 1: back in and tells DJ and Kimmy that they're just
Speaker 1: in time for dinner. DJ responds, Oh, sorry, uncle Jesse,
Speaker 1: but Kimmy and I are going to go study at
Speaker 1: the library. We'll catch a burger on the way. Jesse
Speaker 1: puts a hand on his hip. Is that the thanks
Speaker 1: I get for slaving over a hot stove all day?
Speaker 1: And John could not get this line right. I vividly
Speaker 1: remember him mixing up the words and saying like, stay,
Speaker 1: is this what I get for staving over a slow.
Speaker 2: Hot at once you get that in your head, you're like,
Speaker 2: that's it.
Speaker 1: I can't My mouth is not going to work the
Speaker 1: other way. Yes, I don't know how many takes we
Speaker 1: did of this, but he could not. Yeah, he just
Speaker 1: couldn't do it. But he apparently did it once because
Speaker 1: it made the final cut here. So Kimmy reacts, boy,
Speaker 1: you sound just like my mom, only more bitter. Jesse
Speaker 1: aggressively points to the door and responds, prompting Kimmy and
Speaker 1: DJ to leave. Michelle walks back to the table and sighs,
Speaker 1: there goes another plate. Then Joey walks in. This time
Speaker 1: he and mister Woodchuck are looking down at the floor.
Speaker 1: Jesse asks, did you lose something? Joey says, yeah, the
Speaker 1: use of my neck. I tried to crack it myself.
Speaker 1: Do you know it's amazing how many people need shoeshine?
Speaker 1: Why is he carrying the puppet in? I don't know,
Speaker 1: Like this is a bit I'm telling you. This is
Speaker 1: his anthropomorphic bits, right, that's right. I forgot his trauma response. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's yeah. The puppet talks for him, right right?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: This, yeah, this, I mean, Dave is committed to this
Speaker 1: so great, but it's kind often the way it's written.
Speaker 1: You So, did you get.
Speaker 2: Out of your car and put the puppet back on
Speaker 2: your hand before you unlocked the door after? Like you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, it's just how'd you drive home
Speaker 2: if you can only look at the ground?
Speaker 1: Were you on the bus? Did you take the puppet
Speaker 1: on the bus? Ticket? Hold on? There's a lot of questions.
Speaker 1: Don't pull that thread, Just don't pull that thread, like it.
Speaker 3: Does a puppet need a ticket on the bart system?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Oh, well this one does, because it's
Speaker 1: this one does. Joey thinks it's a real, real character,
Speaker 1: So yeah, I would say yes, So Jesse wonders where's
Speaker 1: Becky and Danny. Joey tells them they had to work late,
Speaker 1: which means they'll be late for dinner. Jesse instructs Michelle
Speaker 1: to take away two more plates, and she huffs, why
Speaker 1: do I even bother?
Speaker 6: Damn?
Speaker 1: They host a morning show and they're gonna miss dinner. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a long work day, very long. Worse people. I
Speaker 1: know they do morning shows.
Speaker 3: You're like, I love this job because I'm done by
Speaker 3: eleven thirty, Right.
Speaker 1: That's the whole point of getting up at four am.
Speaker 1: You're done?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know they have to produce it all themselves.
Speaker 1: Oh that's right. They do everything, including costuming and props
Speaker 1: and set design, hair makeup. Yeah. So Joey breaks some
Speaker 1: more news. I gotta go see a chiropractor, so I'm
Speaker 1: not going to be here for dinner either. Jesse holds
Speaker 1: up the number one to Michelle, so she removes another plate,
Speaker 1: asking what is this a joke? Then Joey asks Jesse
Speaker 1: for a favor, can you sew this button onto mister Woodchuck,
Speaker 1: and Jesse sarcastically responds, oh love to Joey walks out
Speaker 1: of the kitchen with his head held low. Boy, this
Speaker 1: floor needs a wax job, Jesse. He feels surprising for Danny.
Speaker 1: You think it would be freshly waxed, right, But Danny's
Speaker 1: been at the he's been at the set all day.
Speaker 1: He's been in Vicki Land.
Speaker 3: He neglected his floors, neglected the job. The floor waxing.
Speaker 1: It's understandable. Yep, so Jesse complains. Not only am I
Speaker 1: mister mom, I'm mister Woodchuck's mom. And he sets the
Speaker 1: puppet down on the counter. He grabs the pot of
Speaker 1: food and sets it on the table, and then he
Speaker 1: slumps down next to Michelle in defeat. She wonders, are
Speaker 1: you totally bummed? And he nods, yeah, totally. She insists,
Speaker 1: go ahead tell me all about it.
Speaker 3: Have a seat in my office, sir. She knows the
Speaker 3: doctor is in.
Speaker 1: That's a good therapist right there. She knows that he
Speaker 1: needs to talk. And she's just encouraging something wrong with you.
Speaker 3: You look like an adult in need of some emotional
Speaker 3: assistance from a child. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, at least he's using an actual human being
Speaker 1: and not a puppet or a mannequin. So true.
Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody in this house has some communications.
Speaker 1: You have some issues. Yeah, so, Jesse admits, I'm just afraid,
Speaker 1: you know what if I never get a record deal again.
Speaker 1: I mean, is this it for me? Didn't you already
Speaker 1: have a record deal and a confusion?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to ask Jeff about this. Jesse continues,
Speaker 1: I mean, is this it for me? Cooking, cleaning, watching
Speaker 1: the kids while Becky's at work. I got to make
Speaker 1: some changes in my life. Michelle asks, can we eat
Speaker 1: dinner first? Jesse laughs and scoops some dinner onto her plate, saying,
Speaker 1: I hope you're hungry because it's just you and me eating.
Speaker 1: Michelle responds, I think you forgot somebody on cue. Comet
Speaker 1: runs in and snatches his bowl from the ground. He's
Speaker 1: such a good boy. He's such a good boy. He's
Speaker 1: so happy in this scene, presents the bowl to Jesse,
Speaker 1: who serves him some food, saying bonea petite comet, and
Speaker 1: Comet goes to town on his chow so good. Next
Speaker 1: to the living room, Jesse is rocking the twins in
Speaker 1: their swings as he sews the button on mister Woodchuck.
Speaker 1: He tells the puppet, all right, there your button's on,
Speaker 1: you saw dust sucking tree freak. It's creative like that.
Speaker 1: He he Jesse loves to insult like everything. But I'm like,
Speaker 1: it's that funny. That's his communications.
Speaker 3: He's just help everything because he's just right right, because.
Speaker 1: It's just he's got to make it.
Speaker 3: He's got to make it stupid so that he feels
Speaker 3: better about himself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess that's excelling.
Speaker 2: You know, Dave has to distance himself or not Dave.
Speaker 2: Joey has to distance himself from the emotions with the puppet.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, and uh and Danny. I don't think has
Speaker 2: really ever dealt with the death of Pam.
Speaker 1: No, no, he hasn't spoke of her. He's just shoved
Speaker 1: that far down and it's not going to deal with
Speaker 1: that ever.
Speaker 3: You know what, it's good to know that even the
Speaker 3: Tanners struggle a little bit with Uh. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It explains a lot about this family. Actually, it explains
Speaker 1: an awful lot. So Jesse makes eye contact with the
Speaker 1: woodchuck and snarks. Oh, so you have no snappy comebacks?
Speaker 1: Since Joey's hand isn't up your back, huh.
Speaker 3: You know he wanted to say up your butt.
Speaker 1: I know. Oh yeah, that, I'm sure he did on
Speaker 1: several takes. I didn't make it to the to the
Speaker 1: final cut. So when mister Woodchuck doesn't respond, Jesse says,
Speaker 1: that's what I thought and tosses him onto a chair.
Speaker 1: Then beyn, I know, like that seems that seems illegal
Speaker 1: to be well, I should say that you're the one
Speaker 1: that broke mister woodchuck stand nineties broke his stand.
Speaker 3: And then he came to the next one with a
Speaker 3: half terrible hat stand. It didn't even prop him up.
Speaker 3: I was like, that's my fault.
Speaker 1: That's because of you. Jodie Sweet. I know you should
Speaker 1: feel bad, but that's okay. The puppet himself is still intact.
Speaker 1: I feel bad. So Becky and Danny walk in from work.
Speaker 1: Becky apologizes for missing dinner, and Danny begins to confide
Speaker 1: in his brother in law. I should be happy about
Speaker 1: Vicky's new job in Chicago, and I am, but I'm
Speaker 1: feeling a little guilty that I'm not happy enough, you know.
Speaker 1: Danny doesn't let anyone answer and just continues to babble.
Speaker 1: I think I hid my feelings pretty well, although I
Speaker 1: did weep all over her. Goodbye Ice cream cake. I'm
Speaker 1: fine about this, I really am. Then he laughs and asks,
Speaker 1: do you guys know any good therapists? I'll be leaving now,
Speaker 1: and he promptly exits the living room. Yeah, where there's
Speaker 1: one of the lives in the house. Right, Well, Jess's
Speaker 1: not going to share. Jesse's not going to share his therapist.
Speaker 2: Her client list. I mean, she's got so many she
Speaker 2: can't take.
Speaker 1: On another, she cannot take on one more client. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's very busy. So Becky and Jesse both sarcastically agree
Speaker 1: that he's taking this well. Then Becky asks Jesse about
Speaker 1: his day. He admits, well, the record company called. They
Speaker 1: didn't like my demo. Becky is sympathetic. They like the tour. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's going to be going to Japan. It's in some
Speaker 1: one of these upcomings. He hasn't even gone to Japan. Kay,
Speaker 1: So like, just wait, did he I think he did
Speaker 1: does go to Japan? But did he already? No? No,
Speaker 1: I don't know what season that is. But yeah, just
Speaker 1: hang tight there, Jesse. Your your moment to shine will come.
Speaker 1: Just you know, calm down. Jesse goes on to say,
Speaker 1: it's all right, I'm shaking things up. I got myself
Speaker 1: a gig tonight. I'm playing with an oldies band at
Speaker 1: the Airport Lounge. And Becky is surprised by this the
Speaker 1: airport lounge. Honey, isn't that a step down? Kind of
Speaker 1: that's kind of harsh hard, I know, I agree. I thought, Hey,
Speaker 1: a job is a job, and when you're an artist,
Speaker 1: you take what you I was kind of proud of
Speaker 1: Jesse for just taking whatever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I'm gonna do this just feel
Speaker 3: a little better about myself. I have something to do,
Speaker 3: and that's really what it's.
Speaker 1: About, right Becky. This is the one rare occasion when
Speaker 1: Becky supportive person where I'm.
Speaker 3: Like, wow, Becky, that was yeah, Yeah, I agree, I
Speaker 3: totally agree.
Speaker 1: Jesse defends himself, Nah, it's music, it's a paycheck, and
Speaker 1: then he jokes besides, I got a real nice coloring
Speaker 1: book and those little wings. Becky can't hide her sadness.
Speaker 1: I've been gone all day. I mean, this was supposed
Speaker 1: to be our time to other. Jesse responds with frustration, Well,
Speaker 1: this is my time to make some money for my family.
Speaker 1: Becky counters, I make more than enough money to support
Speaker 1: our family, and Jesse's tone changes thanks for reminding me.
Speaker 1: Becky asks, what you have some problem with me making
Speaker 1: a decent living. Jesse snaps, no, I have a problem
Speaker 1: with me making a decent living.
Speaker 3: That's basically yes, yes, yes, that's just a longer answer yes,
Speaker 3: too many words to say yes.
Speaker 1: Becky scoffs. Oh, okay, so now I know what argument
Speaker 1: I'm in. This is about your stubborn, macho pride ding
Speaker 1: ding ding ding ding Right on the nose, Jesse angrily responds,
Speaker 1: what pride. I don't have any pride. I lost my pride,
Speaker 1: and he walks toward the door and says, I'm going
Speaker 1: to go get some pride.
Speaker 2: Honey, you got enough. Yes, you've got enough. You got
Speaker 2: too much.
Speaker 1: You don't need any more. You don't need no more.
Speaker 1: He grabs his jacket, a motorcycle helmet, and bitterly says,
Speaker 1: say goodbye to ster Donaldson. Becky is left alone in
Speaker 1: the living room with concern written all over her face.
Speaker 3: Spray, so get back on that bike after breaking both
Speaker 3: of his arms.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's right. Well yeah, when he when he
Speaker 1: rides his motorcycle, when he's upset like this, bad things happen.
Speaker 1: He could be.
Speaker 3: On the edge of a parking structure in no time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, totally totally. But this this okay, so this episode,
Speaker 1: it didn't it didn't age well these Jesse's view on masculinity.
Speaker 1: You know, his identities all tied up with with masculinity,
Speaker 1: and he's got this old school view of masculinity that
Speaker 1: no doubt undoubtedly came from Nick, his dad, who had
Speaker 1: a similar and also was a very typical and there's
Speaker 1: you know, look, there's a lot of people that still
Speaker 1: feel that way.
Speaker 2: But it's just an interesting thing where you know, you
Speaker 2: see him saying like, oh, all I'm gonna do is
Speaker 2: just you know, take care of the house and the
Speaker 2: kids and the thing, and then this and you're.
Speaker 1: Like, oh, so who was supposed to do that? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And that's just and that's just you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I think that's the thing that we've all kind of
Speaker 2: figured out now, is like there's nothing just about it
Speaker 2: that's as much of a full time job, maybe not
Speaker 2: more than you know, anything else.
Speaker 1: And yeah, so it's not it's not even really about
Speaker 1: Jesse's need to provide financially. It's the problem is that
Speaker 1: the de values housework, which is traditionally seen as women's
Speaker 1: women's feminine work, and how people don't they just like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's just it's just right care Well know, the most
Speaker 1: successful men out there had a woman supporting him and
Speaker 1: raising the babies and making sure.
Speaker 2: That you know, so it's kind of like that it's
Speaker 2: got to be and like, yeah, it's in this, you know,
Speaker 2: as we here live in twenty twenty five, I think
Speaker 2: we would hope that this episode would maybe be handled
Speaker 2: a little differently, but also find some ways to like
Speaker 2: because and here's the thing is I do get. I
Speaker 2: get the under the conversation, which is like I want
Speaker 2: to feel like I'm contributing. True, yes, but it's the
Speaker 2: discounting of how much what you are doing is contributing. Yes,
Speaker 2: that it's not all about money. That it's that that
Speaker 2: is just as valuable and you know you should that
Speaker 2: it's worth your it's you know, cost your time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's important work. While Jesse Jesse.
Speaker 6: Twins bro this is not easy to think what's going
Speaker 6: to happen, arguably harder than hosting a morning show, but
Speaker 6: both you know, jessely finds his worth in his financial contributions,
Speaker 6: and it's like, no, there's multiple ways to contribute to
Speaker 6: the family.
Speaker 1: And so yeah, he.
Speaker 2: Definitely And there's a lot of his his self worth
Speaker 2: tied up in in how he's seen uh as a
Speaker 2: masculine right, a praditional sort of Yeah, yeah, a masculine provider.
Speaker 1: And I also think it's not just the financial component.
Speaker 1: I think it's also like the public uh adoration, like
Speaker 1: he needs to be acknowledged for how good he is
Speaker 1: at his job whatever that is, and he needs a
Speaker 1: lot of childcare and house care. How you know they
Speaker 1: don't They aren't acknowledged for doing a good job. So
Speaker 1: I think it's all tied up in gender roles and
Speaker 1: views and uh sure, so yeah so I and so
Speaker 1: I don't even blame Jesse here.
Speaker 3: This is just a culture I see, like where like
Speaker 3: what it is. It's just the way the priorities that
Speaker 3: he places are a little uh it's all.
Speaker 1: What is the word gender restrictive? I guess Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I would agree with that.
Speaker 3: This is because let me tell you men, for the
Speaker 3: men listening out there, they probably know this. If you
Speaker 3: want a happy life, do all that take help, take
Speaker 3: care of the kids, make.
Speaker 2: Some dinner, do some laundry. Let me tell you you
Speaker 2: it will pay off for you.
Speaker 3: Yes, guys, that makes for That makes for a happy
Speaker 3: partnership too.
Speaker 1: Yes, I do think we've come a long way, at
Speaker 1: least in the relationships I've had, as far as splitting
Speaker 1: the housework and the childcare and stuff like. Thank god
Speaker 1: we are living in these modern times. We've come a
Speaker 1: long way, and this episode proves it.
Speaker 2: Look, all I'm saying is you're really not getting any
Speaker 2: if you're not at least helping wash a dish once
Speaker 2: in a while.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. There is nothing sexier than
Speaker 1: a man doing some dishes. Yeah, just saying to turn on. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: moving right along. Up in Michelle and Stephanie's room, Joey
Speaker 1: walks in with his head finally looking semi normal. He
Speaker 1: asks steph if she knows where the heating pad is.
Speaker 1: She says her dad keeps it in his top drawer
Speaker 1: because he preheats his socks in the winter.
Speaker 3: That sounds delightful, that does.
Speaker 1: That's a great idea, actually, a heated sock drawer.
Speaker 3: For Gotten it now.
Speaker 1: Stephanie asks Joey how his neck is doing. He admits, oh, oh,
Speaker 1: it's much better. I just can't make any sudden moves
Speaker 1: Then Michelle walks in wearing DJ's sweater and shouts, look
Speaker 1: what fits me. Stephanie's jaw drops and her eyes wide
Speaker 1: and Michelle. Joey's head whips towards Michelle and he asks
Speaker 1: what and he immediately wins is in pain? Mister Woodchuck responds,
Speaker 1: way to go stupid. As they walk out of the room,
Speaker 1: Puppet's talking or Dave like they just didn't know what
Speaker 1: to do with him in this episode. You know, It's
Speaker 1: like he wasn't really part of the A or the
Speaker 1: B storyline, so they're just like, here have a bad.
Speaker 3: Neck and a puppet and a puppet. Yeah, so that's
Speaker 3: all right.
Speaker 1: Dave does great with whatever material he's given, Oh for sure. Uh.
Speaker 1: Then DJ walks in with Kimmy and notices Michelle's outfit.
Speaker 1: She absent mindedly comments, Hey, I have the exact same
Speaker 1: sweater in my closet. Steph responds, well, it's a small
Speaker 1: world after all, and lets out a nervous laugh. And
Speaker 1: then I couldn't get the song out of my head.
Speaker 1: DJ continues to examine the sweater and that one has
Speaker 1: a button missing right where this one has a button missing.
Speaker 1: Can someone explain this? Michelle innocently says, I just wear them,
Speaker 1: I don't shrink them. DJ looks at Stephanie for an answer,
Speaker 1: and she admits, all right, this is your sweater. I
Speaker 1: stole it. I stained it, I shrunk it. I should
Speaker 1: have buried it. Michelle chimes next time again, next time,
Speaker 1: lesson learned. Michelle says, DJ, have that cow, and Steph apologizes.
Speaker 1: I am so sorry. DJ. I'll do anything to make
Speaker 1: it up to you. DJ looks at Kimmy. Well, make
Speaker 1: it up to Kimmy. I borrowed that sweater from her
Speaker 1: last summer recognition crosses Kimmy's face. Oh yeah, that is
Speaker 1: my sweater. She walks over to Stephanie and continues, So, Steph,
Speaker 1: you'll do anything to make it up to me. Stephanie
Speaker 1: immediately regrets her words, saying this is my worst nightmare. Okay, Kimmy,
Speaker 1: I deserve this. What do you want? Kimmy walks over
Speaker 1: to the table and starts to take off her shoe. Well, actually,
Speaker 1: I haven't had a pedicure in my whole life. Jimmy
Speaker 1: removes her shoe and puts her foot on the table.
Speaker 1: And I obviously have painted toes in this scene, so
Speaker 1: that was right. Whatever, everyone it's recoils in horror and
Speaker 1: says ew gross. Jimmy starts to remove her sock. Michelle screams,
Speaker 1: not the sock, run for it, and the girls hurry
Speaker 1: out of the room, covering their noses. I mean, your
Speaker 1: face looks horrified. I feel like we're still early in
Speaker 1: the sock like I'm not so annoyed yet as I
Speaker 1: was by the end of the series in season eight.
Speaker 1: But yeah, this is just one the you know, we're
Speaker 1: still at the very beginning of the sock jokes, so
Speaker 1: yeh whatever. Next, at the San Francisco International Airport, Jesse
Speaker 1: is singing with an oldies band called the Diplomats and
Speaker 1: they're performing the song Glowworm by the Middle Brothers. Jesse's
Speaker 1: on piano, and the entire band is wearing matching plaid
Speaker 1: jackets and bow ties.
Speaker 2: They were kind of they could have pulled it off
Speaker 2: as like a hipster vibe, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: just oh, just wear it with confidence. Well, you'd somebody
Speaker 2: in you know, silver Lake would have been wearing that
Speaker 2: probably yesterday.
Speaker 1: No, but this, I'm very upset at this episode. I've
Speaker 1: been mad since nineteen ninety two. You don't even know.
Speaker 7: This, oh, because it was gonna be Jeff got this
Speaker 7: idea from my favorite musical, Forever Plaid, right, which is
Speaker 7: a musical about a four part harmony band four guys
Speaker 7: who were wearing.
Speaker 1: Plaid tuxedo jackets. Right, And so Jeff was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: this would be great to have you know these guys,
Speaker 1: these these Forever Plaid guys do this bit with Jesse.
Speaker 1: And I got so excited and I told the Forever
Speaker 1: Plaid guys, I'm just like, this is great. You might
Speaker 1: be able to get on the show. This is gonna
Speaker 1: be so fun. And then we show up for like
Speaker 1: the first stay rehearsal and it's these old codgers wearing
Speaker 1: these pastel plaid jackets, and I wash. I was crushed,
Speaker 1: and I get it, and now as an adult in hindsight,
Speaker 1: I get it. I'm like, it's a funnier bit that Jesse,
Speaker 1: this young hot dude, is performing with these old codgers.
Speaker 1: But I was devastated that it couldn't be my front
Speaker 1: Plaid guys.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, I'm devastated for you.
Speaker 1: I've been resentful ever since.
Speaker 3: So you have your plaid jacket. I have my pink bunny.
Speaker 1: Ye see, we both I get it. Sometimes there's just
Speaker 1: the thing that sticks with you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you go, I really wanted that in this podcasting
Speaker 3: we are.
Speaker 1: We are getting it all out on this podcast and
Speaker 1: healing our inner trauma. Right, all these injustices against just
Speaker 1: it's just.
Speaker 3: All of them we're gonna be Yeah, we're working out
Speaker 3: our trauma.
Speaker 1: Yeah, at least it's not with puppets. So Jesse thanks
Speaker 1: the crowd. As Danny, Becky, and Vicki walk in, he
Speaker 1: asks them what they're doing here, and Becky explains, well,
Speaker 1: we thought we'd come to see you. She questions, I
Speaker 1: thought you said this was an oldies band, and Jesse
Speaker 1: awkwardly nods towards his bandmates and Becky gives an awkward smile. Ah,
Speaker 1: I get it. Jesse says he'll talk to her after
Speaker 1: the set. Meanwhile, Joey is sitting next to a tough
Speaker 1: looking guy and his neck is stuck looking off to
Speaker 1: the side directly at this man. He notices, and the
Speaker 1: man gruffly asks, Hey, buddy, what are you staring at.
Speaker 1: Joey replies, Oh, I'm not staring. I just have a
Speaker 1: stiff neck. This is like Dave's expression is so funny
Speaker 1: and it's so awkward. I did really enjoy this.
Speaker 2: His character, he built the whole thing, yeah, over the shoulder,
Speaker 2: and he just had a character that was always walking
Speaker 2: around talking over his shoulders.
Speaker 1: This is just I love Dave so much. This is
Speaker 1: so funny. So the man threatens, you want me to
Speaker 1: adjust it for you, and Joey designs he'll just adjust
Speaker 1: his chair instead. Then Jesse begins to tell the crowd
Speaker 1: what number they'll be playing next. When the tough guy
Speaker 1: walks toward him, Jesse happily asks what his song request is,
Speaker 1: and the man simply states, watch my luggage while I
Speaker 1: go to the john.
Speaker 2: That is the thing they tell you not to terrorists
Speaker 2: anybody's luggage.
Speaker 1: Especially some guy that just got out of jail, right like.
Speaker 2: This is that thing is full of uh it's Tarantela's
Speaker 2: that you're not allowed to have.
Speaker 1: Yeah, cocaine, yea illegal illegal animals, illegal plants, and maybe
Speaker 1: some drugs. Drug There is a lot that could be
Speaker 1: in that bag. So Jesse jokes, oh who wrote that one?
Speaker 1: Gershwin and IRV the Drummer gives him the uh the
Speaker 1: shot shot. I do like this bit with IRV they
Speaker 1: do it a couple of times. It's funny Yeah. Jesse
Speaker 1: gets back to his music and starts playing. As time
Speaker 1: goes by from the film Casablanca, Danny and Vicki begin
Speaker 1: to recreate a similar farewell scene to the Will Always
Speaker 1: Have Paris ending. Vicky insists on taking the weather job
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, but Danny won't allow it. Overhead speaker
Speaker 1: Brian Cale announces final boarding call for flight nineteen to Chicago.
Speaker 1: Danny stands up and dramatically quotes Casablanca, Vicky, you've got
Speaker 1: to get on that plane or you're gonna regret it.
Speaker 1: Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for
Speaker 1: the rest of your life. Vicky replies with just as
Speaker 1: much drama. You're right, Oh, Danny, I'm gonna miss you.
Speaker 1: He responds, I'm gonna miss you too. Goodbye, sweetheart, and
Speaker 1: they share a very passionate kiss. She quickly runs off
Speaker 1: and Danny slumps into his seat with sadness, but then
Speaker 1: Vicky runs back to him and says, I can't do it.
Speaker 1: Danny tells her she has to be strong, but Vicky explains, no,
Speaker 1: I can't do it because I don't have luggage or
Speaker 1: a ticket. Tanny replies, you mean I have to go
Speaker 1: through this whole goodbye again tomorrow. Vicky takes inspiration from
Speaker 1: Casablanca again. Yes, but we'll always have the terminal lounge.
Speaker 2: Back when you could just walk into an airport, walk
Speaker 2: your family to the gate.
Speaker 1: That's I don't remember those days even. That feels like
Speaker 1: so long ago, when you could just yeah, walk your
Speaker 1: loved one right up to the gate.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, wave the window window I do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's just a total, whole, totally different world. Uh So, next,
Speaker 1: Jesse finishes his song decides to take a break. Joey
Speaker 1: compliments Jesse's band, saying it makes him look young. Then
Speaker 1: he asks to be pointed to the to the bathroom.
Speaker 1: He walks past the tough guy from earlier and shields
Speaker 1: his eyes so he doesn't stare at him again.
Speaker 3: And this is this is the same I'm hiding characters,
Speaker 3: except he usually does it with two fingers right, But
Speaker 3: he's doing the.
Speaker 1: Yeah I can't see you all in this.
Speaker 2: Scene like, and then at the end he's doing this
Speaker 2: little This entire scene is Dave doing bits that nobody
Speaker 2: else knows except for the cast, and every one of them.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Oh, I know that character guy.
Speaker 2: He just makes up these and all of them were
Speaker 2: in this scene.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's like the greatest nobody else except us will
Speaker 1: ever be able to appreciate it. Yeah, the stiff tr
Speaker 1: the hiding behind you know, can't see, you can't see,
Speaker 1: you can't see, and then the little shimmy at the end. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is all of Dave's best hits. And I'm just thinking,
Speaker 1: like the tough guy. Last time they saw each other,
Speaker 1: Dave was wearing a dress, had a wig in the
Speaker 1: jail cells.
Speaker 2: This guy's probably like I ripped this guy's the neck
Speaker 2: and the thing and the dress and the thing.
Speaker 3: At least he didn't have this puppet at the airport.
Speaker 1: One same grace, right, So then Becky and Jesse start
Speaker 1: to chat. Becky asks him if this is really what
Speaker 1: he wants to do, and he sighs, no, this is
Speaker 1: really what I have to do. And Becky questions seeing
Speaker 1: Glowworm in an airport lounge. He admits, it's not the
Speaker 1: coolest gig in the world, but it's still music, and
Speaker 1: you gotta admit Irv is one bad mama in his
Speaker 1: own right. Becky wonders, what about your music Jesse insists,
Speaker 1: I'm still going to work on my music, and if
Speaker 1: I get lucky, it'll be great. I'll get it. I'll
Speaker 1: get a shot. But right now, I have to contribute
Speaker 1: to my family. Becky argues, but you do contribute. You're
Speaker 1: a great husband, you're a great father, and Jesse interrupts her.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about money now, whether I make a million
Speaker 1: dollars or one dollar, I can't just let you go
Speaker 1: to work and make all the money for this family.
Speaker 1: I'm a man. You know, maybe I'm old fashioned, but
Speaker 1: that's who I am. See, well, Jesse, we could work
Speaker 1: that he gets all his self worth over his financial
Speaker 1: contributions and publication in.
Speaker 2: This situation, that'll be one of those things. It's like,
Speaker 2: it's I get that with there's an expectation that sort
Speaker 2: of Nick, his father, society has put on him, that
Speaker 2: like he needs to be the one going out and
Speaker 2: doing stuff.
Speaker 3: And you know, Becky's like, dude.
Speaker 1: I guess we're working together. Yeah, well you noticed that,
Speaker 1: bet that it's not flipped. Like Becky never feels guilty
Speaker 1: for not being at home with kids and doing the
Speaker 1: mother what's traditionally mothering duties. So she's not she's not.
Speaker 1: She's like, I'm good.
Speaker 3: I make enough family and I'm a mom and I
Speaker 3: work and we do.
Speaker 1: They have this three thousand square foot attic and they
Speaker 1: don't even pay for it.
Speaker 3: Doesn't need to pay for diapers again, and they built
Speaker 3: you a recording studio.
Speaker 2: You don't even need a recording studio. All your friends
Speaker 2: play their instruments and bring them over.
Speaker 1: You don't got to pay musicians. No utilities, I'm sure
Speaker 1: are included in the Danny Tanner welcome package. You know,
Speaker 1: they just buy diapers, formula. Maybe that's that's that's all
Speaker 1: they have.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, Mattie said he just has to buy
Speaker 2: seventy nine cent egg plants.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's true. This guy a lot of.
Speaker 3: Egg plants, egg plants for I Bucks. Yes, you know, absolutely.
Speaker 5: So.
Speaker 1: Becky smiles and says, and that's who I love. God
Speaker 1: bless you, Becky.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, thank god you do, Becky.
Speaker 1: She kisses him and apologizes if she hurt his feelings,
Speaker 1: and she's even willing to back him up, back him
Speaker 1: up if he wants to be a diplomat. He kisses
Speaker 1: her forehead and walks back to the stage to work
Speaker 1: on the tuneage. In this joint, and he addresses his
Speaker 1: fellow bandmates, calling them the Dips. He says, now, I know,
Speaker 1: deep deep down inside you, there's got to be some
Speaker 1: kind of wild rock and roll maniac just dying to
Speaker 1: get out. Huh. They all just stare at him blankly,
Speaker 1: and he shrugs, all right, we'll fake it and tells
Speaker 1: them to play a little rock and roll music In
Speaker 1: e Vicky and Danny get up to dance. Becky and
Speaker 1: Joey do the same. Then Joey's next snaps back into
Speaker 1: place and he's magically.
Speaker 2: Cured and able to do his little dance and doing
Speaker 2: his little little jimmy, which the you know, the Olsen
Speaker 2: twins would do that too, but David Dawns they did
Speaker 2: in the in the recording booth when we came down
Speaker 2: to the.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, that's his brand.
Speaker 2: New recording studio, and he was in there and he's
Speaker 2: doing his weird little dance.
Speaker 3: It's the same dance.
Speaker 1: It's it's Dave like. To this day, he still does
Speaker 1: that little dance and he loves it. The whole airport
Speaker 1: lounge is up and moving and dancing and enjoying the
Speaker 1: Diplomat's music. And that is our show. Though I know
Speaker 1: what was in that bag, right, and he never comes
Speaker 1: back to get it, Like, what was he doing? It
Speaker 1: was a long bathroom break. I'm just gonna say he
Speaker 1: had too many seventy nine and ink plants. He was
Speaker 1: stuck in the bathroom for a while. Digg blends do
Speaker 1: that too. I don't know. I mean maybe these too
Speaker 1: many vegetables in general, you get kind of gassy.
Speaker 3: I think I still think it's connected somehow to some
Speaker 3: sort of nefarious criminal organization.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with that. I agree.
Speaker 3: So this was this was this was This was an
Speaker 3: episode yet not my favorite, not my favorite.
Speaker 1: I'm choosing to look at it as like this archaeological
Speaker 1: artifact of this is what life was like in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety two, and I'm glad, we am glad we've all
Speaker 1: changed since then. Although it was.
Speaker 2: But we even even Jesse admits in it, He's like,
Speaker 2: I'm old fashioned, so we know that this sort of
Speaker 2: mindset is like kind of out of date.
Speaker 1: He acknowledges this, which I appreciate. Honestly, I think he
Speaker 1: should have gotten more credit for just taking whatever job.
Speaker 1: You know, this random airport lounge job.
Speaker 2: Well, does it make you happy? Are you enjoying playing music?
Speaker 2: Then rocket right, go for it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Do you hate this? Do you feel terrible? Then
Speaker 1: don't do it? Yes, that's it. I think that's we
Speaker 1: Jesse needs to.
Speaker 2: Work on his his uh intrinsic self worth on, you know,
Speaker 2: sort of finding it within himself.
Speaker 1: Maybe Michelle will help him get to that by Michelle
Speaker 1: needs to put this in her notes and work on
Speaker 1: this in future sessions, because he's good at unloading on her,
Speaker 1: but he's not good at listening to whatever feedback She
Speaker 1: has to help him putting it into new practice. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but got a couple more seasons, got a couple more seasons.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't love this episode between the Forever
Speaker 1: Plaid plagiarism and the Genders episode for you right, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you.
Speaker 2: You know I feel the Jackets anymore. I liked him originally,
Speaker 2: Now I think they're crap.
Speaker 1: No, burn them. I don't like them. No, I'm plaid.
Speaker 1: It's full plaid. It's not forever plaid, it's faux plaid.
Speaker 1: But I feel better now that I've gotten this off
Speaker 1: my chest, and now you and all the fan ritos
Speaker 1: are now aware of my feelings about this, and now
Speaker 1: you're going to get plaid jackets. Oh gosh, I have some.
Speaker 1: I have my forever plaid leather jacket I bet I
Speaker 1: got for my sixteenth birthday. Yeah, one of my prize,
Speaker 1: your love of plaid. It was amazing. Oh. I took
Speaker 1: you at least twelve times to that place.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, at least you and Janie and we
Speaker 3: loved it and we love it.
Speaker 1: Did you have any? Were there any? Everywhere? He looks
Speaker 1: the only one I have. I already mentioned Brian Kale
Speaker 1: doing all of the announcements everywhere you listen, Yes, did
Speaker 1: you have Yeah? Did you have any? I didn't. I didn't. Oh.
Speaker 2: I did notice that the Tanners were recycling back in
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety two, you know, they had a little recycling
Speaker 2: binds there, and I was like, okay, I noticed that.
Speaker 1: Good for them. Yeah, this. I did a waste management
Speaker 1: commercial probably right around this time, in the early nineties.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think recycling was becoming.
Speaker 2: Saying Captain Planet really did that? Yeah, reduce, reuse, recycle, Yeah,
Speaker 2: recycle reused.
Speaker 1: I don't know that was a big campaign, you know that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they went hard with that. Can look at
Speaker 1: all the good it did Hey, I recycle. I still recycle.

Speaker 1: better right now.
