Hey, Fana Ritos. Welcome back to an all new episode of How Rude Tanner Ritos. I'm Andrea Barber, and today I have a very special guest co hosting with me. It's Candace Cameron Burray. Candace is filling in for Jody while she's out of the country, and I couldn't be more thrilled to have my TV bff recapping this episode with me today.
Welcome Candace.
Thank you. I'm so happy to be back on Yeah. Yeah, I can't wait to recap this episode. I'm so glad you were available. You're willing like this was.
I'm thrilled. I'm so thrilled to get to do.
This with yours.
Oh, thank you.
Yeah, thanks for asking me. I was super happy and even watching this episode.
I haven't watched Full House in so long.
Oh yeah, so many years. I mean probably at least ten years, if not more than that. Oh my gosh, probably longer. But yeah, I've watched more Fuller House episodes. But it was wild. I was like, I'm watching the episode, I'm laughing out loud, and then I was like, oh, now, I like I understand why this show's never been off the air in thirty five years. I'm like, this is so sweet, it's so.
Cute, like all the things it was wild that's how that's the same thing I'm feeling too.
I'm just like, oh, now I get it.
Like the show has stay in power first of all, Like it has aged very very well. These lessons are so timeless, the characters are so lovable, and yeah, I have such a greater appreciation for Full Outs now then I know when we were on.
It, because exactly it was.
Just like a fun or whatever when we were kids, and yeah, it's yeah, it's way more meaningful now.
Yeah, exactly, And looking watching an episode and we're in season three right now, so this is what.
Nineteen ninety ninety, nineteen ninety.
That's so long ago, and you watched this episode and realized that the lesson that's learned in this one has stood the test of time. I'm like, these are the exact same things that happened to me as a parent, and the same thing that any young parent that I know now that has young kids, they're dealing with the same thing. Like there's just some lessons that are timeless and will never change. And that's what all the lessons were about on Full house. Yeah, yeah, why I didn't realize that in the moments, like dang, I mean we were teens, I know, so we didn't get it, and now we get it.
And it's even more amazing when you think that is well, at least the first sea and there weren't many writers with kids, like Jeff never had kids, and right, you know a lot of them never had kids until Mark and Dennis came on and they had kids, and so I yeah, Mark what We interviewed Mark a couple of weeks ago and he was telling us how you know, he and Demnis were the one of the only writers with kids, so they were able to provide a lot crazy and yeah that's good.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, but wild when you think about it. I know, right, yes, one of the most classic iconic family symptoms. But the writers didn't have kids. Crazy really it's crazy, No.
I think they Jeff definitely did good with hiring more writers that had experience with parenting.
That was a good call.
Well, I'm so excited that I get to see you again. I've seen you so much, like considering we went like a year without seeing each other.
I know, and now it made me mad. I was like this cannot happen again. So I was like, we're making a date, We're going out, We're putting another date on the calendar. And now, yeah we've seen each other three or four times, and.
Yeah we saw each other Nineties Con. Nineties Con is always a blast. And then we went to Michael Campion's magic show, which was so cute.
It was so great, it really was. It was wonderful and it's great to see him again.
He's I know, and he's such a good magician.
I know, I know, he's a man, like he's a man.
It's weird to see the kids from Fuller House grown up and you know, doing their own thing and you know, exploring their own careers. I wonder if that's how Bob, Dave and John and Laurie felt.
About us, like when we grew up.
Sure, you know when I'm similar, like a sense of pride and just awe, you know, I'm like, oh, I know you.
For ten years totally. That was the other thing watching this episode back, I'm thinking to myself, oh my gosh, John, Dave, Lorie they're like twenty six here right Yet to me, I still look at them and I feel like, no, they're in their forties there because as a young kid, I thought they were so old, and so it's still that's where my mind, like the correlation is just I just automatically there's no way they could be twenty five or twenty six here. Yeah, it's bizarre.
Yeah, when I'm watching the episodes, I still think that they're forty because they seemed they seem the same age as our parents when we were doing the show. Yeah, and now I still think of them. It's a weird time work because I still think of him as in their forties even though they're in their sixties now.
It's just blows around. I saw all, I saw everyone. I was so bummed that you weren't there. But at the scleroderma event, that was oh fun Misto. But I was talking with John and we were talking about Jeff's Jeff Franklin's birthday. He's turning seventy wow next year, And I was like, how was Jeff turning seventy? First of all, he just doesn't look like it, no, and he but I'm like where did we get there? And John was like how old are you? And I'm like, I'm forty eight, and he was just like that freaked him out, like, how am I almost fifty? You know, because I don't feel fifty, just like in our mind, they're forever going to be forty year olds. In their mind. I think we are forever children for sure.
Absolutely absolutely. I think that's why they were kind of I feel like they were kind of thrown for a loop a little bit when we started Fuller House because they're like, oh, they're actually adults, like they know what they're doing, and you know, you kind of fall back into those same those same relationships where it's like, Okay, they're the elders and we're the we're the kids, and yeah, you know, it's yeah, it's just a funny dynamic.
I love it.
It is it is me too.
This is the This is the first episode of this podcast we recorded since Dave came out with his news that he has stage three non Hodgkins lymphoma.
So I just wanted to talk about that just a little bit.
He's so positive about it. Like, ironically, the person who's taking this news the best, I think is Dave, because he's been so positive and accepting and committed to getting the message out how important it is for getting detection and getting tested for you know, breast cancer or any of the cancer's kolonoscopies, mammograms, like this is the age, this is the stage we're in now exactly.
I know, and I know, I mean, he has such a great outlook on it. But I know it also helps with because of Melissa, his wife, who is in the wellness and health and fitness, so she is a wealth of information for him. But also she's a very positive person. So the two of them together it is a great combo when you're dealing with something so terrible that they're keeping I think that the two of them together are keeping them both prioritized in seeing the positives, staying on track, not letting you know, what if, what if the unknown get to them before they get to that state, do you know what I mean. It's like, let's just do what we have to do and not worry about the worst happening unless the worst happens. So they're both really wonderful together.
I'm so glad he has her because she's such a rock and she's so she is giving of herself and her title, like she will sacrifice anything for me or for anyone really, Like she's just that type of person.
But She's a great, wonderful person. Yeah, I know.
So it was it was that the.
News when he when he had called me, he and Mel called me together, and you know, much earlier before it went out to the press, and I I kind of couldn't believe it for a couple of weeks. Yeah, it was just like okay, okay, and I knew it with head knowledge, but it just didn't sink into my heart yet. And I just don't think I wanted it to, because I'm like, this just isn't happening, Gorge denial, It will be a little bit in denial. And I really was with Dave. It was a I think still because of the loss of Bob. I was like this, you know, we're this can't happen. This can't happen. It can't happen again.
Yeah.
But then after Dave announced it and then we knew it was public with everyone, and that was the first time I actually cried because I talked to him just a few days after, or actually I talked to him the day he did the Today Show interview and they called, or I called, and they were in the car on their way back to the airport, and I was just like we were talking, we were laughing, we were joking, the interview was so great and we were talking all things, and then I was just like, I just like and it was the first time I.
Had just cried over it.
Yeah, and you know, it just it's all of that kind of stuff. Everyone handles it so differently. And I've been praying for him every day and.
He they know that.
And that's where I feel really strong in what I can do and how I can be helpful. Of course, like I can't, but I'll do anything any of my friends asked me to do. But I'm not a doctor, so you I feel helpless. But the one place I know I can help is that I can pray for him every day and have been. But that was just like, in talking those things through, I just let I lost it for the first time.
So while you were on the phone with him, yeah wait did you wait? Oh?
With him?
Did he crack a joke? Did he could have inappropriated?
He was actually so sweet because we joked so much before that, and then when I was crying, he was just like he just felt it, you know, and he yeah, it was it was sweet, But I didn't I didn't want to be the crying person, right, positive person, but it's just a hard reality to take that I couldn't quite It didn't sink in for a while for me.
Yeah, well that's understandable. And I'm sure on some level it's touching for him that you love him.
I mean, we all do.
We love him so much that we're so affected by it. But at the same time, I don't want him to feel like he has to take care of our emotions, like he's got enough, but.
Not at all.
A little cry, I'm sure is very you know, touching. Yeah, And yeah, for me it was.
Yeah.
He was like he texted me when he found out, and he was just so positive. He's just like, yeah, I'm going to beat this, like this is so treatable, Like he just talked about it like it was cold almost, you know. And I was like, right, yeah, is he in denial too, But no, he's just been so positive. And I think it was seeing him with his head shaved on the Today Show. I mean, even though his hairs, you know, it's been short, but just seeing his head shaved, and then he posted a picture of himself with getting chemo, with his chemo port, I was just like, oh, that really, it really sunk in for me. Then yeah, oh he's really he's really doing it, like you know, it's yeah, you never know what David, Like, is he joking about this whole thing? You kind of hope he's just making a really bad, inappropriate joke, And when you realize he's not joking, it's yeah.
Hard news to accept, but it is. But the thing is, it is very treatable. And I've I know I not personally, but have also received so many messages from people that have had the same type of cancer at the same stage and have been in full remission for many years.
So it is.
Treatable and goodness, and yeah, we're just he's going to keep staying on the positive path and the right path, you know, with what he needs to do. And I really truly trust and have no doubt that he will beat it.
Yes, absolutely, And he's got just an army of people supporting him and loving him, and his full house family. Obviously we're going to be there for him whatever he needs, whatever he needs, you know, if it's a well timed fart or a joke or a smile or a hug, you know, whatever he needs.
You Dave, we love you.
We love you, Dave.
Yeah, we're always going to come stay at your house moving in.
I wish like our schedules could coordinate so we could all go stay in his house totally.
I'm gonna I'll let you know when I go because I'm going to go out. And I told Laurie i'd let her know too, So maybe maybe we could stay on a go together. You know, that would be fun.
I think they've got the room for us for sure, and if not, that's fine. I'll sleep anywhere. But that would be great. He would I would love that. He would love that.
Mel would love that. Oh. I know, I love you, Dave, but I really love your wife. He's like, you don't care about me, you just want to hang out with Mel. I'm like, well, it's kind of true, but I do love you, Dave.
Mel is the best. Well, let's get into this recap. I'm so excited to talk about this episode with you today. We are discussing season three, episode twenty two, titled Three Men and Another Baby. It originally aired on April thirteenth, nineteen ninety, and it goes a little something like this. Michelle is jealous when Danny agrees to Babysit, a Neighbors Infant Overnight. Also DJ's math homework stumps Joey. It was directed by Billy Fausta.
Any of the cigarettes and coffee?
Do you remember Billy Foster? I like, I so you do, Okay, I do.
He had like short, short white hair, and he did. He always had coffee.
And a cigarette.
He's directed a lot of Season three, like he's like the I thought Joel was more involved in these early seasons, but no, it's been Billy Foster like almost all of these episodes. Yeah, he's he was a force. I love, I love, Oh he's he's directed. Sorry, now I'm already getting off topic.
I know, did you guys have him on the show.
No, but he's done.
He's done a lot of those, like very special episodes like the beer drinking episode. We just did that one last week, or like thirteen candles. Like he's done, and I love I love how. I've talked about this before, but I love how he frames his shots where like you'll like DJ will be sitting on her bed with her pillow person but she's wearing all of them makeup from the junior you know, she dressed up with that crazy makeup for Junior High the first day of Junior High. And I just love that he has that shot of like the mirror and DJ sad with her pillow person, and it's like it's like it's a juxtaposition between DJ's being she's a child, but she's growing into a woman and so she's hanging on to her childhood with her pillow person, but she really wants to grow up and be be a woman makeup. So I just I really have appreciated his directing skills. Yeah, anyway, let me not get off too much off track here. This was written by Lenny Rips. Love Lenny Reps.
Love Lenny.
He's the best. And we have several guest stars this week. We have Barry Kivel returns as Michael Kagan. We saw him a few episodes ago in Misadventures in Babysit.
I remember they were the parents that I baby sat in the guts stuck or he got stuck in banister and the butter and the thing.
Yeah, these are the same parents. They were like they were they were hit like hippie hippy hippy parents.
Yeah.
They were going to like a Grateful Dead concert.
Yeah, and I think they were so funny in that episode that that's why they brought them back specifically, I think I believe it Yes or someone else, but I think they were just so funny. We were like, they just have to be the other neighbor couple that keeps popping up. Yeah.
I wish they were in more episodes too. This is their their last episode. I just think it's funny that they don't even mentioned the kid that got his head stuck in the banister. It's all about the infant in this episode. No, but I'm like, what happened to the kid? And it is, you know, the butter on his head.
I know he's sleeping at a friend's house.
Yeah, come on, Jeff, write a little throwaway line or something about that. And next we have Joan Leesman. She of course is returning as Joyce Kagan, so she was in Misadventures and Babysitting obviously, but she also played Jonie in season one's Joey's Place, so she's This is the Debbie Gregory effect where you have one actor that's playing multiple parts and it's never referent funny. So she played only different character in season one funny, Yeah, and now she's yeah now she's the neighbor with multiple children. So yeah, this is their last episode of Full House unfortunately, but that's okay. We appreciated them. They did great work for the day episodes last, but certainly not least. We have Cameron McGovern and Jason McGovern as baby Tony. Uh. They're one and only credit on IMDb, which seems to be a trend. We this is a trend. Lots of people like The Lost Kills, the Careers, so many child actors they never act again.
So no, well, at least I would think that he was they or the boys were young enough that it might have just been the parent's decision going we don't ever want to do that again.
Right, Oh yeah, it's it's st I can. I obviously don't know, but I imagine that's stressful, like watching your baby cry like this baby had to cry on camera, and I was like, that would be very stressful as a mother.
Yeah, like yeah, and the parents aren't really even on the set because you have more of the baby wrangler or the teacher that's that's working with them. So even as a parent being so hands off, they're just handing over their child. And of course everyone was super nice that worked on our show, and we're so caring and loving and all of that, but it's got to be freaky. As a parent, you're like, here's my kid.
Go ahead.
I don't think I could do it. I don't think I could do that.
Oh man, Yeah, these kids, these these boys were super super cute. Okay, well, so we start with the teaser in Michelle's room. Michelle is sitting in bed and she yells, Daddy, Joey, come here. The guys instantly come running in as if they've been just waiting outside the door because they were, and Danny asks what's wrong. Michelle confesses there's a monster in my closet, and Joey says, we've been through this one hundred times. There's no such thing as monsters. Michelle protests, uh huh, there's a cookie monster, and Joey reminds her he's not a real monster. He's just a sugar freak who got stuck.
With a scary last name.
Michelle doesn't let up. I'm telling you there's a monster in my closet. Danny walks over to this supposed monster closet. He's determined to prove to Michelle that there's nothing there. Michelle warns the boys be careful, and Danny laughs and tells Michelle to look as he moves her clothes aside, assuming that there's nothing behind them. Just then, someone in a monster mask jumps out and scares them. Michelle grins, gotcha. The monster takes off her mask and it's DJ. She congratulates Michelle on the scare and they give each other a high five. Super cute.
And I don't remember doing that. So when I saw myself pop out of the closet, I was like, oh I did that. That was the thing. But it did remind me in my own personal life. I just have to share. My son Max, when he was like four, had come into my room, our room at night, and he was like, mommy, mommy, there's a monster in my room. And I was like, okay, let's go look for the monster, and grabbed his hand and we walked back into his room, which was upstairs. Okay, and we I'm like, where where's the monster? And he's like I don't I don't know, and I'm like, yeah, see, there's no monsters. I opened the closet door, no monsters. I don't see anything. Looked under all the furniture, and then he goes there it is. And when we listened, you could hear this like kind of groaning sound. And I was like, oh, hold on, I think that's coming from the closet. What And so I open the closet again and I hear from the duct that was like on the ground, the air duct. Yeah, I hear this, like, oh, that sounds so gross. And I realized we had we had a friend that was staying with us, and they were in the room. The guest bedroom was the room below Max's room, and he was snoring so loud that it was like traveling up the Oh my gosh, and it sounded like this monster growling and maxist closet or Max he was like, I know. I was like, you're right, buddy, it does sound like a monster. That's just Alan sleeping really hard. Oh my god.
I thought you were going to say there was like a raccoon in your walls.
Or something like that. Just Alan snoring.
He got some good sleep that night, he did. That's so funny. Well, next we're in the kitchen. Danny is feverishly mopping the floors. He looks around and he realizes he's trapped himself. All of the areas around him are clean. He manages to hop onto the kitchen counter without touching the floor and immediately scrubs the last place where he was standing. Just then, the back door opens. He frantically yells freeze, stop, and the girls come to a halt. Danny instructs him to take off their shoes. Dj realizes, Oh, that's right, it's Friday, and Friday is and the girls say in unison, mop till you drop day. So the girls take off their shoes and Comet bolts in from the backyard. Danny tries to command the dog to stop and wipe his paws, but Comet doesn't listen and he runs straight into the living room instead. Danny hurriedly scoots himself off the counter and jumps onto the floor to chase. After Commet in the living room, Danny storms over to the naughty dog, who is happily sitting on the floor. He pets him and admits, it's a good thing you start in school tonight. Just then the doorbell rings. Danny opens the door and Joyce Kagan appears once again with a different child.
He pushes the stroller into the house.
Which is carrying a sweet little baby and her husband Michael follows behind. Joyce thanks Danny for letting Tony sleep over tonight. Danny touches the baby's chubby cheeks and gushes, what are neighbors for? Which is ironic because he never wanted me around where Kimmy was around, right, He was always trying to.
Get rid of surprising you kept coming back because they were not very nice to Kimmy Gibbler.
The adults were not nice. We're just getting into that now, like season three, Like it's just now starting the meanness towards Kimmy Gibbler. Oh, I know, I'm a dreading the future seasons.
Danny says.
He lets out a big laugh, and the Kagans don't respond right away. They look at each other first, and then let out a painfully fake laugh. Michael hands Danny a car seat and then proceeds to give him a list of urgency phone numbers, also with Tony's nutritionally balanced, cholesterol free oat bran enriched baby food. Danny comments, sort of like Purina yuppie Joe. He laughs again at his own witty comment, and the couple doesn't react. They give each other a puzzled look before breaking out into another round of fake laughter. Before leaving, Joyce WARN's Danny that Tony won't bond with just anyone, so he shouldn't take it personally.
When he picks Tony up and he.
Just screens his guts out, Danny laughs, thinking this is a joke, but the couple doesn't laugh. Danny's like, why aren't you laughing? And the father holds up a peace sign and says you'll.
See, and they're out.
Danny folkus, Now, why did Danny agree to babysit this child when he had obedience training plan.
Behind the dog?
Same thing.
It's like, that's really irresponsible of Danny who was irresponsible?
And he must have just assumed with Jesse or Joey that one of them was going to help out.
Yeah, I guess. I mean it is a full house, so I guess someone's always around to us.
Home, because it's not like all the kids were going to obedience school with him. Yeah that's true. Oh yeah, so someone had to be home.
True. So Danny focuses his attention on the baby. He asks the baby if he'd like to do a little bonding, and Tony just stares at him blankly.
As babies do.
Danny decides to warm up a bottle, so he moves the stroller a little closer to the kitchen, so he stays in eye view, and he tells Tony not to move.
Why would you leave it? Again?
As a mom, I'm like, why would you leave the baby? I mean, I know this is a plot device to set up when Jesse and Becky walk in, But.
Totally, I'm like, take the baby in the kitchen, you know, I know, but you just have to forgive it because it's a sitcom. We do.
We have to set up the next act.
Billy Foster just had to make it work. So, yes, how he made it work exactly. So just then, Jesse, Becky, and Joey walk through the front door. Becky and Joey are carrying giant grocery bags and Becky is staying, I can't wait to get into the kitchen. I haven't cooked for you guys in months. Jesse responds, we can't wait either, sweetheart. But as she walks away, Joey and Jesse make disgusted faces, showing how they actually feel about her cooking. Becky sees Tony and exclaimed.
So, I feel like that's probably how Val thinks about me when I cook, Like, oh, he's just tolerating it.
Is this a running gag that Becky is not a good cook?
I think yes, I think it was a running gag.
Okay, because it sounded familiar. But I had never seen this episode before, so I'm like, where did it?
Yeah? Where did I hear it? I think yeah, for a few okay or Becky.
So, Becky's very excited to see Tony. She's like, look, Jess, look, he's so cute. But Jesse is not impressed. He says, you see cute, I see smelly diapers. He asks Joey where the baby came from, and Joey explains, you see when two people really love each other and glares him.
I know that part.
Where did this baby come from?
That was a funny joke. I laughed out out when Joey said that more joy.
Nothing gives me more joy than like Dave being Dave. And then Uncle Jesse Bean just like frustrated with him, the slapping him on the back of the head.
Sometimes it is.
So Danny walks back in the room and he tells them that this is Tony from across the street, and they're babysitting tonight, and that's when Tony begins to cry, like a.
Real tear, like this baby had a real tear.
Like my mommy heart was like, oh, this poor baby.
He probably had a little toy in his hand and then they took it away and he was like sure. I was like, what do you How do you make a baby cry on camera?
That's a good, that's a good.
They probably yeah, had food or a toy and then took it away, go away, and then he cried.
Yeah, okay, very smart. These baby tricks, baby wrangler tricks. So Becky jokingly asks Tony, what did you say you want your uncle Jesse. She proceeds to pick up the baby and places him right into Jesse's hands, as Jesse, of course, is protesting this. As soon as the baby is in Jesse's arms, he stops crying. The other adults smile at the sweet sight, but Jesse has a different reaction. He asks Tony, what.
Did I ever do to you?
And this is such a funny bit because John really is the baby whisper in real life?
Is he totally is?
Yeah?
I'm wondering if they the writers got this from real life because John was so good with the Olsens or any any babies that they're like, Oh, let's make uncle Jesse the baby whisper, you know, yeah, little art.
I wonder if, yeah, John was always good with kids. But I wonder if they wrote to that the fact that he was already a baby was whisper. If it just progressed because he was always around babies on the show. Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know you came first.
I don't know. It's a question the chicken or the egg.
So Danny gives Jesse a pat on the back. Face it the kid loves you, which is great because I got to take comment to obedience school tonight. Will you watch him for me, Danny? This is not in Danny's character.
Danny's very type it.
You know, he's like dj He's very type A organized. He would have known on his color coded calendar if there was a clear right you know, yes, Yeah, I feel like it.
Should have been they missed that beat.
They missed that beat they did.
It should have been joe.
I could see Joey doing this maybe, but.
Anyway, you're right, Yeah, they should have added a line to say, yeah, something to the parents.
Whatever. Okay, guys, I know this is this is what happens when you analyze a sitcom and try to provide lodge. It's like, you know, it doesn't make sense.
You never should ever. I should just sit back, relax and enjoy it. Yep, don't question it.
So Jesse scoffs, you're dreaming. Becky tries to persuade him. It'll be fun. We'll get to play mom and dad. Jesse nods, great, we'll get a babysitter. Danny grins. You can't fool me. I know you love kids. He tells Jesse that Tony's bottle is in the sink, and then he calls out for comet so they can head off to obedience school.
So I'm gonna interrupt you. I thought it was funny Tony's bottles in the sink. Yeah, But then I was thinking, oh, because we didn't I don't know that we had all those fancy baby warmers. So maybe he put the bottle in the sink that was in did he have time to warm up water? Like whoh? And he put it in the pot to warm the bottle up with warm water. You know what I mean? He put the pot in the sink.
He said that.
I'm like, why is it in the sink? That's weird? Oh, he was probably warming it up.
Yeah, it bumped me too a little bit. And later on we see Jesse warming up the bottle in a pot full of Yeah walking, so they should have just said pot, not sink. But again, yeah, if you have childless men writing, they don't know how you w.
This is true.
Row it in the microwave, you know, what do we know? But as moms were like, what are you doing?
Yeah?
Very true.
So Commet is sitting in the kitchen doorway and Danny is commanding him to heal, but the dog isn't moving, so Danny tells him to stay and that's when Commet bolts out the open front door. Danny shouts, wait for me, get in the car. No, not that car, Come back with my dog, and he runs out of the house, leaving Jesse, Becky and Joey.
With the baby.
Jesse has decided he's had enough baby bonding, so he places Tony back in his stroller. That's when Michelle walks in through the kitchen. She spots the baby and her jaw drops so cute Becky. Becky introduces Tony to Michelle. Michelle extends her hand for a handshake, and she says, very nice to meet you. Then she asks the baby if he can do this, and she spreads the corners of her mouth open really wide. Do you remember the Olson's doing that?
They love that all the time.
Once I discovered that skill, it was like, oh, look what we can do.
I know.
I think they do it again in the next episode too.
That's so funny.
The baby lets out a little giggle at the funny face, and Michelle asks, can you do this? As she shakes her hips and her little signature wiggle yes.
A little booty shake, A.
Little booty shake. Tony gives her a blank expression in response, so Michelle wonders, can you do anything?
Ashley?
I think it was Ashley. She's so funny in this scene, like.
She's right now, you know, leaning into the.
Comedy of this.
It's it's really fun to watch that, you know, and develops as little actresses. So Jesse chime in, I bet he can laugh. Let's tickle him, and he proceeds to tickle Tony until Michelle declares my turn, and then Jesse tickles her and he turns to Tony and he says, I used to be really cool. Oh, Jesse, You'll always be cool.
Yeah.
So next door in the.
Girl's room, DJ is zoned in on her homework as Steph sits on her bed reading a book, and we have to pause to discuss like all of the outfits. The hair you got, crimped hair, grimmed hair.
It's huge, it's massive, but like perfectly blown out straight bangs. But then the crimped hair, and then Jody's hair, which is like perfectly sponge rolled and quaffed.
And then those bangs that were like little.
Little spider web banks, little spider web poofy bangs. Man and her little acid washed jeans in the best with ballet flats like this, I could not have been more Well, it's nineties, but it's like late eighties nineties. Whoa, Yeah, it was wild. I was screaming nineties.
You look so cute with your crimped hair, Like I really like that You're kind of volley between straight and permed, and you know, you go back and forth a little bit, but I really like that crimped look on you.
It was great. Thanks.
Is this this season or is this when you started getting your hair blown out before show night? On the didn't you go to a salon.
I did it, and I do that later, so I think it starts later, maybe maybe season four or five. It started okay, so you just had Frankie or whoever doing your hair doing this the signature DJ bangs.
Which yes, so great.
So it's so classic, and you got like your hot pink shirt, like your fashion is so cute.
In season three, you know, it's like it was cute and I had that little pink kind of suede skirt on, and then I had the scrunchy socks with they weren't Doc Martins, but like a version of Doc Martins that were like patent leather black. It was really cute, so cute, so cute, I can.
I can tell you had some influence on your wardrobe this season, which maybe you didn't always, but I can definitely tell. Usually you're in mustard yellow. Do you remember your mustard yellow era? My good yellow.
I didn't request that, but for some reason, I was always in mustard yellow a lot. John John was too.
For some reason, Uncle Jesse was wearing mustard yellow and black.
I wonder if that was just the pantone color of the year, you know what I mean? That clothes like that was just the hot color.
It must have been, because it's repeated several times, and I was just like, that's really odd for the thirteen year old girls to be wearing mustard yellow. The hot pink looks really cute.
It's much more age appropriate.
Yes, yes, And.
Then Jody this this floral best like I don't. I'm so curious to know if she loves this outfit or hates it, because it's just a very combination of patterns and the short, curly hair and it feels like she's trying to look grown up, but she's still just such a little kid that, you know she's The hair is what's killing me, like more than the outfit, but the hair. It was just it was so perfectly pink sponge rollers, you know, because they were so tight, but it kind of had this smooth little bump around her head and then it went into like like tight little curls and then the bangs were just hilarious to me. Oh gosh, I think she's still scarred from that and the dibity do and like getting the indentations in your because she slept on those rollers every night. I feel Janice would roll those curls every night into the sponge rollers, and she had to sleep on them.
My mom did the same thing when.
I was younger, when I was her age, and I slept in them all the time. And then I think it was season two that I got a firm because my mom was like, I'm not doing this anymore. Your hair is so long, We're just gonna go get a firm.
Yeah, I lit a lot of hair, So yeah, that's two time consuming no time gat bitty du and sponge rollers. Joey walks in and he announces homework halftime. He sets a plate of cookies down on the table. DJ says thanks, and she admits she's in big trouble. She asks if he's any good at math, and Joey boasts I did sleep through a whole year of honors calculus. He tells DJ to lay it on him, and she reads directly from her textbook. Bill is throwing a party. He wants to buy a pound and a half of mixed nuts. One third is almonds, two thirds are walnuts. The total cost is seven dollars and fifty cents. The almonds cost four dollars a pound. How much do the walnuts cost? Joey ponders this for a minute before asking the guy's name was Bill, and DJ shakes her head, laughing at his obvious confusion. I hated these questions. I hated these math questions.
Who I couldn't stand that?
Yeah, No, I was. I mean, I was never good at man.
And that's why I was thinking.
I was like, these are the same questions that thirty years later, forty years later, we're still asking.
Yeah, and have we ever used this math in our life?
No? No? Uh so painful.
So Jesse then enters the room carrying baby Tony. He asks who wants to play with him, and the girls plus Joey all stand up and shout I do I do? DJ reminds Joey, you have homework. Steph begins to play with Tony, who is still strapped into his car seat on her bed. Why is this baby in a car seat? I guess because he has to sit like no one's really hiding.
I don't know.
I just thought it was weird that John brought in a car seat, Like, wouldn't you just have a baby on your hip?
I don't know, but I think that's what's gonna make the joke funnier is that once he gets the baby, the baby's always calm once he's holding him.
I think it helps set up the joke.
More if he's not holding him from the start.
That makes that a lot of sense. Steph is admiring Tony's cute little baby fingers, and DJ's gushing over him. She says she's always wanted a baby brother. Joey stands up, announcing I can't take this. I'm taking a baby break, and the three of them all babble over the baby together. Jesse snarks, as much as I wove baby talk, I willy have to weave, but Tony starts to fuss and cry. When Jesse walks away, Steph, DJ and Joey all call after him in unison, Uncle Jesse, Tony wants you. Jesse assures them that the baby isn't crying because he wants him. Joey brings Tony over to him and places him in Jesse's arms. As soon as Jesse holds him, Tony stops crying. Realization seeps in, and Jesse sternly tells the baby this whole I don't cry around Uncle Jesse. Bit was cute at first, but now it's We get a close up of Tony's sweet little face, and Jesse admits, okay, it's still cute. Jesse flips Tony onto his belly and begins to lie him around like an airplane. Once he gets to the hallway, he starts to struggle, calling Tony a jumbo jet. He proceeds to fly him around the hallway and right into Michelle's room. In Michelle's room, her old crib is set up for Tony to spend the night. Jesse flies Tony around the room, calling him super baby, and Michelle pouts, hey, I'm super baby. Jesse protests, no, you're not. You're super big girl. Then he prepares Tony for landing and places him in the crib. Michelle winds, hey, that's my crib. Jesse reminds her that she doesn't need a crib anymore, she has her big girl bed. Michelle frowns in response. Jesse grabs a nearby toy for Tony and waves it above his head. Michelle shouts, those are my toys, and Jesse tells her that Tony needs some company while he sleeps. Michelle asks in my room, Jesse nods, Michelle, you have to learn how to share today it's Tony's room two, okay, and Michelle admits this is nuts. I agree with Michelle, like, did they not prepare this child at all for this baby coming and invading her room?
Like she's stainly caught off.
Guard by this completely.
They should have sat her down and said like, hey, well you're having a friend coming and he's going to stay in your room, and yeah, they should have had the conversation. But this was also the moment where where I thought, this is a timeless situation. Of course, a little three year old is going to have a hard time adjusting to somebody new, and I just thought, oh my goodness, that's when the light bulb went on in my head. Of like, that's why Full House was a really good show, because they took the time to walk through these little problems in life and then how do you handle them? So I know you're going to continue, but I love how Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky have two totally different responses, and so does.
Danny, So yeah, yeah, no, no, it's it's very timeless. And I I don't remember this happening with my own kids, so I was kind of like, oh, you know, it wasn't super relatable for me personally, But yeah, no, it is very timeless.
And I'm sure a lot of you know.
Last born kids. Well you and I are both last born kids, so we didn't really have to share with anybody, So I.
Know it's true.
You know, think about a little think about a stranger coming in. It's one thing to learn to share with your siblings right when you're at school, but when it's your own personal your bedroom, your toys, of course, that's going to affect a three year old if you had haven't had a conversation with them first. Yeah.
I mean DJ's had to share her room and her stuff for many many years already, so she's used to it. But Michelle's never had a little siblings that she has to share stuff with, so yes, absolutely understandable. So Jesse gives Michelle a sweet little nudge before directing his attention back to the baby. He tells Tony he's going to sing him a song before he goes to sleep. Michelle watches as Jesse sings one of his original songs to the baby, and she sadly whispers, that's my song. Jesse continues his song and Michelle leaves hanging her head in despair, She sits against the wall in the hallway and places her head in her hands. She tells herself, uncle Jesse doesn't like me anymore. She lets his heartbreaking sigh.
It was so sweet, it was so cute.
It was really heartbreaking.
I watched and I was like, oh, and then I was imagining little kids this age, watching them a little three year old, a four year old, a five year old, the six year old. How relatable is that to watch someone their age having all of those feelings? Yeah, never see that on other shows. They always jump the kid from a baby, from an infant up to a five or six year old. Oh ye, all those years because there's not a lot of young you know, three or four year olds that can act. So the very the very fact that Michelle was the same person through all eight years of the show and you watch her grow up, I now understand why it made Full House a huge success. And this little scene is a perfect example of where you're like, you know, that tuns on mom's heart, and it also little kids can watch it and you're like, oh, I you know, I see myself. Yeah. Yeah.
Jeff was very revolutionary in that sense that Yeah, nobody had ever watched a child grow up for eight years too, Like that's a really long time for any show. So to watch a child go from infant to eight years old, it.
Was really remarkable.
Yeah.
But yeah, this is oh, this was that was just very heartbreaking.
I was just saying it was.
Yeah.
Sometimes I feel like emotionally manipulated by Michelle but when she gets sad or has tantrums or whatever. But this was really tugged on my heart strings.
Yeah.
So we cut to a sad commercial break, and when we come backward in the kitchen, Joey excitedly tells Becky and Jesse I finally figured out DJ's math problem. According to my calculations, Bill can buy a pound of walnuts four. He punches some numbers into his old school printing calculator and it gives a very long answer. His expression changes as he repeats the answer out loud, fifty three thousand dollars.
This scene reminded me of trying to do math with my children. Math homework, I was like, again, something that never changes.
I was never very.
Strong in math, and then math changed over the years, Like my kids learned a whole different math than what I knew, so I couldn't even help.
Them with bmework.
Yeah, now it's common core. It's it's very hard to understand.
So different.
But this whole scene made me laugh so hard because I'm like, yep, totally get it. I couldn't do any I am not smarter than a fifth grader. I was like, I need a calculator, going, why can't I do fifth grade math?
I can't do it.
I just laughed at Joey in this.
Yeah, even with a calculator, you still can't figure it out.
The calculator doesn't so relatable. It's so relatable.
So meanwhile, Becky is feeding Jesse a spoonful of the food that she's been cooking. When he tastes it, his face freezes. He can barely force himself to chew it, and Becky notices she asks too spicy, and Jesse shakes his head. No, no, I always cry when I eat chicken, and Becky corrects him it's pasta and Jesse's eyes go wide.
Is so funny. He was so funny.
I laughed out loud in his expressions.
Like I never appreciated his comedy skills when we were on Full House, but now watching it as adult. I'm like, he's really funny, Like he's not just a good looking guy, Like he nails the physical comedy, the expressions, like he's he's really got it all.
And completely completely.
I just I think of him more as well, not a dramatic actor, but he does so well with the dramatic scenes too, you know, the emotional scenes. I'm like, no, he's he's a comedy actor.
I would say he's a comedy actor.
He's so absolutely.
So.
Just then, Michelle stomps into the room with her hands on her hips. She declares, Uncle Jesse, come with me please. Jesse stands and asks her where they're going. Michelle sternly states to see Tony. Jesse asks what's the matter with Tony, and Michelle responds, He's still here.
She walks out of the room.
She says that though.
The way she says he's still here was so stinking cute. She's like, he's still here, like heal.
Yeah, Mary Kate had that lisp like that.
It was so it was so cute, so funny. I rewound it like three times just to hear her say he still heal anyway, go ahead.
I love that the girls are so good though, Like it wasn't. We're just now starting to get into the Michelle focused episodes. Yeah, and I felt like at the beginning of the season it was a little too soon, like the girls were still mimicking Adria and it felt really mimicked and forced. But just now, like at the end of season three, I'm really seeing them, like, wow, they're really like acting. I mean, you know, Adria is still off scream with a.
Toy or a snack or something, of course, but they still have to execute it themselves. Yeah, a motion behind it.
It sounds natural, it's it's cute, it's adorable, it's fine. They've got the timing down, like they're really growing and they were only two years old.
Like it's pretty remarkable when you think about it. Yeah.
So Michelle walks out of the room, expecting Uncle Jesse to follow her, but before he leaves, he tells Becky to check this out with him, and Becky asks.
What about my dinner?
And Jesse brushes it off, just let it fist her and Becky puts a hand on her hip and glares at him. Jesse corrects himself, I mean simmer. She follows him out the door, whacking him on the head for good measure. Meanwhile, Joey's on the phone with Mohammed's house of nuts. That's made me laugh, which gets a huge laugh from I'm like, what is funny about this that it's moment Hommet like, I don't I don't know.
A house, A house of nuts, A house nuts, that's funny to me.
I laughed out loud.
A house of nuts.
I'm like, is that full house? Because we're all a house of nuts.
Hey, there you go, That's what the episode should have been titled, House of nuts and Nuts. So Joey tells the person on the other end of the of the line, my name's Bill, I'm having a party, and my nut budget is exactly seven point fifty. You know, Dave had a field day with this, she did. But nut is a funny word because nut. I mean, obviously we were.
Talking about nuts that we eat, but you know it also has some other meetings, So the word nut is just a funny word.
I love that they gave this bit to day. It's not a perfect for him my nut budget. How many times do they.
Have to do that take?
Because you know, Dave was just riffing on that or making people laugh like he's just always been.
So the same way.
He has not changed.
He has not.
Changed in thirty seven years. No, As Joey continues his spiel, he's rattling off DJ's math problem word for word. He has to tell this person, no, this isn't for homework. And then he pauses and he says, Okay, yes, I know. I'll never learn if I don't do it myself. Joey, He's desperate. Back in Michelle's room, Becky, Jesse, and Michelle are standing by the crib where baby Tony is sleeping. Michelle steps onto her bed so she can peer inside and address Tony directly. She shouts, time to go home, bye bye. Michelle's shouting wakes Tony up. Jesse scolds Michelle, telling her, Hey, that wasn't very cool, and Michelle responds with a smile. Good now he can go home. Becky tells her that she doesn't mean that, and Michelle protests.
Oh, yes, I do.
Jesse picks up the baby so he can comfort him, and Michelle witnesses this and demands my turn, carry me. Jesse tells her that he's taking care of the baby right now, but he'll carry her later. He walks over to the rocking chair with Tony and Becky follows him. Becky realizes what's going on here. She tells him that Michelle's jealous because Tony is getting all of her uncle's attention. Now, Michelle wants to be a baby to gain this attention back. Jesse asks, what would give you a crazy idea like that, and Becky shrugs. Intuition, instinct, and the fact that Michelle is sitting in the crib sucking her thumb. Jesse looks and sure enough, that's exactly what she's doing. Yeah, Michelle takes her thumb out of her mouth for a moment to say I'm a baby. Jesse hands Tony to Becky so he can address this. He reminds Michelle, you're not a baby, You're a big girl, and then the big girl responds goo goo ga ga. Jesse tells Becky they have to do something about this. Becky responds, well, I think the obvious solution is to reward Michelle for acting like a big girl. Jesse scoffs, you obviously know nothing about child psychology. It's very simple. You just have to look them in the eye and lay down the law. He tells Becky to watch and learn. Jesse waltzes up to Michelle and Pecky sarcastically asks should I take.
Notes O wise one?
And Jesse not, it's telling her Hey wouldn't hurt. Then he directs his attention to Michelle. Jesse is stern with her. He tells her to stop clowning around. He demands that she get out of the crib and start showing them what a big girl she is. Michelle momentarily takes her thumb out of her mouth and then mimics a baby cry. Becky asks Jesse, knowingly ready to try the reward method, and Jesse waves her off. Oh please, that never works. Becky tries to persuade him, if you try, I'll give you one of my special backrubs, and Jesse's like, okay, hey, this is worth a shot. Becky's like, why, because I'm gonna reward you, and Jesse sighs, well maybe, but just because you tricked me doesn't mean Michelle is dumb enough to fall for it. He pauses for a beat and realizes he just insults it himself. I don't care when Becky is schooling Jesse like she's always right Becky is always right.
She's always right.
Jesse never never wants to admit that. No, So wait, I'm reading a note. Okay, So next we're in the girls room. DJ is holding her pillow person and Steph is rearranging her shelf. When Joey walks in, he tells DJ he's been working on the math problem for over an hour and the answer is, you're never going to use algebra in real life. DJ starts to so many.
Times have I told that to my own children. I'm just like, you're never going to use this. You're never going to use it. You're never going to use it. Figure it out enough to pass the test, but you're never going to use it unless you're getting.
Into banking or accounting or something like that, and then you're going to be taking many more classes with Yeah, with me, I very much related to Joey in this episode. Yes, me too. Uh So. DJ starts to speak, but Joey cuts her off. No, I let you down. Now, you'll never get into college. You'll end up working in some diner serving chicken fried steaks and creamed corn to truck drivers. And DJ tells them to relax. She called the homework hotline and they helped her do it. She explains the mathematical process to solve the equation using x, y and z as variables. Joey stares at her blankly before concluding, Oh, sure, it's easy when you use letters. I was using real nuts.
Again with the nuts.
Again with the nuts. He asks me to give him another problem, so she hands him her textbook and instructs him to do problems one through twenty. She says, don't forget to show your work and neatness counts. Joey nods, I'll get right on it, and he walks out with the textbook. Just then Jesse's walking in at the same time. He makes his way over to his nieces and admits he's having a little problem. Ever since he's been hanging around Tony. Michelle is starting to get jealous. She's acting like a baby to get his attention, so he wants to reward her with something special for acting like a big girl. DJ suggests Michelle's had her eye on mister Beer ever since she could crawl, and Stephanie grabs mister Bhaer and holds him close. She says, so, what's your point? DJ reminds her, well, you always said that one day you were going to give mister Bhaer to Michelle, and Michelle puts her Stephanie puts her hands on her hips and clarifies when I said one day, I meant like her wedding day. Steph grabs DJ's pillow person and suggests, well, why don't you give her this? And DJ argues, because mister bear is a child's toy, My pillow person is a sophisticated companion. Steph gives an exaggerated eye roll. Please sophisticated. It's got arms and legs growing out of its face.
That was funny.
That delivers delivery.
So it was so good.
It was so funny whenever she had those pointed lines that was like the you know, the punchline.
She just she killed it as.
We nailed it, and she's so funny. It's and I love like when you guys are just doing the sister thing, the arguing back and forth, you know, throwing barbers at each other.
It's so fun to watch.
Yeah, So DJ says, I say, we let Michelle decide, and Steph nods fine with me. The girl's storm out of the room and Jesse follows them with a smirk on his face, he admits it is a stupid looking pillow ouch, Like, were you offended by that?
It was a little bit. I thought it was kind of funny.
But then I was like, but that's why didn't you bag on mister bear person. So yeah, I took some offense to it.
Do you still have your pillow person, and did you keep it?
Or so? I did keep it, and.
It my dog had like ripped the arms and legs off of it this whole long time ago, and I was so bummed out. And then I found one on eBay, so it wasn't the exact one, but I found another pillow person and I bought it. So I've had it just to keep it with all my other full house stuff. And when I just moved, we just moved homes and we packed everything up and someone else, I don't want to throw anyone under.
The bus val.
But he was throwing like lots of stuff into the bin and a one of those bath bombs, it's like a salt bomb was in that container with my pillow person and it sat in storage for like a year before we and we just recently opened it up and the salt deteriorated. Everything in that bin. I think there must have been moisture that got in there, and so that whole pillow person was just it deteriorated it and it was all moldy and disgusting and gross, along with a whole bunch of other things.
So it's kind of bummed out.
So no more. I've had two pillow persons and now none.
Did you just have bad luck with with pillows?
With pillow people.
Dave's Dave's dog also ate mister Woodchuck's face off, So what is going on?
Dog?
And you know this is we're gonna have to get We have to get another pillow person.
That's gonna be right now. I have to look at eBay or we might need to create more pillow people.
Yeah, yep, I'll get to sewing version.
Yeah, me too.
So the girl's storm into Michelle's room, where Michelle is still in her crib. DJ tells Michelle to pick a toy. Then she proceeds to play up mister Bear to make him seem more appealing, and Stephanie does the same, trying to influence Michelle to pick the pillow person instead. DJ insists she doesn't want this boring square person Michelle watches her sisters intrigued. Steph holds mister bar away from her in disgust. He's much better than this, disgusting me, yucky old bear, and then she yanks mister Bear close and whispers, I'll explain later. Jesse picks up Michelle and takes her out of the crib. He explains, if you get one of these toys, you're gonna have to act like a big girl because these are big girl toys. Capiche, and Michelle nods capiche. She examines the toys and then decides her best course of action is to do Aenie Meanie miney mo. She finishes and declares, I picked mister Bear, and DJ squeezes her pillow person tight, saying thank you, thank you, thank you. Do I just I have such a image in my head like that, thank you, thank you, thank you.
I know, and Bob and Dave always made fun of it too, thank you that you, thank you you, thank you, so I thought cut No, they like in a loving and endearing way, but it's like I can't ever say thank you without saying it three times. Thank you? Think you think?
It was like DJ's upset, like there's all there's all they're always making fun of it and thank you, thank you, thank you's one of them.
I love it. DJ's upset.
Stephanie squeezes mister bear tightly and solemnly says goodbye, old friend. She hands her beloved mister Bear to Michelle.
That hurt, you know.
Michelle smiles at the bear and greets him, Hello, new friend, and she gives him a hug. Jesse tells Steph he's proud of her. Steph forces a smile. If it makes Michelle happy, I guess it was worth it. She walks out of the room and we hear her cry out in the hallway, what have I done? Jesse directs his attention to Becky, who's sitting in the rocking chair with Tony, and meanwhile we see Michelle is sneaking back into the crib with mister Bear. Jesse is unaware of this, so he proceeds to boast to Becky, well, I guess I took care of that, and Becky says turn around. Jesse sees Michelle back in her crib and he tells her to get out of there. Stephanie comes storming back in, saying she's back in the crib. If she's still acting like a baby, this deal is off. She demands to get the bear back. Michelle protests no, and she squeezes the stuffed animal against her. Then Tony begins to cry. Jesse uses this as an escape, saying he'll go get a bottle for the baby. As he walks out of the room, he tells Becky, hey, take care of this, will you. Stephanie grabs mister bhar and tries to yank him out of Michelle's arms. She begs, give me mister bear. Michelle refuses to let go, and she shouts his name is Willie stephis flabberg acid you changed his name, and Michelle gives her.
A thumbs up. You got it, dude.
So many catchphrases in this scene.
You got kapte curious.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, you got a dude like there's cram and as many in as they can think.
This was a little a little brady of Michelle, though, when she wouldn't give mister bear back, I was like, ooh, yeah, now now I didn't feel sad for Michelle anymore. I was like, this is ratty because that was the deal. She had to act like a big girl in order to keep mister Bear.
Well, I'm blaming Jesse for this because I'm like, first of all, why are you deciding between the pillow person and mister Burr?
Can we get a new toy? Please? Can we get a new stuffed animal? I thought that too, and until I was like, okay, DJ's the one that suggested it, because you just wanted to spite Stephanie. But it's true. They it should never have been mister Bear or the pillow person.
Right, and he should have waited. He gave her the toy first and then said you have to act like this. You don't do that.
They have to. They have to do It's a big girl.
First, yes, and then get the reward. So yes, she has no motivation to be a big girl now she's already.
Got mister Bear.
So I'm like, this is yes, Jesse really missed the mark in this episode.
I'm just saying so.
In the kitchen, Jesse's getting the bottle ready for Tony, Danny walks in with comet. Danny proudly announces, you're going to be so proud of this dog, and you're going to be proud of me too. The instructor told me how to control Commet. He brags about this, the relationship between a dog and his master can be a beautiful thing. He takes off Commet's leash and commands comment to lie down, but Comet runs away instead. Jesse changes the subject. He tells Danny about this problem he's having with Michelle. Danny siys or a kid. How did you handle it?
Jesse shrugs.
I told her to straighten up and start acting like an adult, and Danny smiles. And when that didn't work, what did you do? Jesse mentions the reward tactic, and Danny's shocked. You tried to bribe her. Jesse tells him not to cheapen it. Then he earnestly tells Danny what to do. Danny suggests if he wants Michelle to act like a big girl, he needs to talk to her like she's a big girl, in words she'll understand. Jesse gives him a thumbs up and mimics his niece. You got it, dude. In Jesse's room, Jesse tells Michelle it's time for a special uncle to nice talk. Michelle responds, I'm not giving Willie back. She sits down on a chair as Jesse sits next to her. He implores Michelle to tell him why she's having a bummer of a day. She pouts, you like Tony better than me, and Jesse tells her.
That's not true. You're my best pal. We go back three years.
Michelle argues, you gave Tony my room and my song. Jesse admits I was only trying to be nice to our new friend, but I should have asked you first because I'd never want to hurt your feelings. Yes see, yes, there we go Finally, bluem, we're moms. It took Jesse twenty two minutes to figure this out, so Jesse picks her up and brings her to sit down with him. He tells her, you make me laugh, you make me smile, You make me feel good about caring about somebody. Michelle questions, I do that, and Jesse responds, yeah, you do that. He grabs her tiny hand and assures her you and I are going to be together forever, and Tony's leaving tomorrow. Michelle can't hide her enthusiasm. He is and Jesse laughs, yes he is. And I want you to know something. There's going to be a lot of people that come in and out of my life. But you're always going to be number one. You're my best pal, my buddy, my sidekick. And you want to know why because I love you very very much, and Michelle asks how much. Jesse decides to show her. He opens his arms wide and says that he loves her this much, and Michelle gasps wow.
Jesse asks how much do.
You love me? Michelle reaches out her arms as white as they can go this much. Jesse realizes, Hey, our arms are open, so we have to hug. He squeezes her and gives her a big kiss, which makes her giggle.
This is so It's so sweet, sweet like their chemistry.
They're like, it's so real, like this is not Yes, I loved it so much.
Me too.
Then Steph walks into the room. She addresses Michelle, I've been thinking about it, and you know you might need that bear more than I do, so have a nice life with mister Bear. Steph's face sours when she realizes her mistake. She corrects herself, I mean Willie. Michelle walks over to mister Bhaer and tells Steph, here you can have mister bear, and she hands him.
Right back to Steph.
Steph can't believe it. She responds Michelle, I love you so much. And Michelle is very proud about this. Everybody loves me. Steff kisses her cheek and walks off. Michelle touches her cheek and calm.
That was a wet kiss.
She walks back towards Jesse and he stands saying, hey, I'm hip. It picks her up. He commends Michelle on her choice to give mister beher back to Steph and he carries her back into her room as she nip.
Yeah, I have to acknowledge Stephanie here because it is so I want to say, typical for middle child, but was so sweet and kind of her to say, like, okay, you can actually have Willie or mister Bearer. That was so grown up for Stephanie to do. Yeah, I just think about my kids like my you know, middle child is the most sensitive and caring in that kind of way. So Stephanie was. It was such a good moment for her. But she doesn't get recognized for her good deed. No, I'm giving it to her right now. That was so grown up of Stephanie. She was willing to art with mister Bear for the betterment of her little sister.
Yeah, that was huge, That was so much. And she's what I think she's eight years old at this time. Like that was a massive for it. That'd be hard for anybody.
If any old. Yeah, I know you're right.
She did not get enough kudos. I'm glad you gave her kudos today.
Totally so.
In Michelle's room, Becky's with Tony. When Jesse and Michelle walk in, Becky asks Jesse, how.
Did we do?
And Jesse smiles. We did pretty good, didn't we? He asks Michelle if she'd like to make friends with Tony. She nods, yes, I would, Tony, you're a nice baby. I Meanwhile, Tony is completely distracted by the stage lights above him and can't stop staring upwards.
Do you remember the old do this?
It's the mic Yeah, the booms, it's the boom.
Yeah, it's the boom and the lights. Totally funny.
So Jesse encourages Michelle to give Tony a kiss. She leans in and kisses the baby's hand. Becky is beaming. She tells Jesse one day you're going to make a great dad. Oh, he responds, give Jesse a kiss, give him a kiss. She kisses him, and he exclaims, oh, yeah, have mercy. He places Michelle on the floor and directs his attention to Tony. He asks, Tony, can you say have mercy? Tony is silent, so Jesse says, you'll say it someday. Becky laughs. As Jesse places the baby back in the crib, Michelle softly says good night, Tony. Jesse picks her up and tells her how sweet she is. They begin to walk out, but Michelle has one more thing to say to the baby. You're going home tomorrow. Remember the crowd laughs. We see Tony in the crib, who lets out a little laugh as well. And that's our.
Show, ladies.
And it was such a cute episode. I loved this one.
I'm so glad it was.
It was very cute, and like I mentioned before, it was it was such a good Michelle centric episode because the girls have really risen to the occasion. Yeah, and it feels so much more natural now, not just like she's mimicking like that's it's really good. You can carry this whole episode.
Like she did. And this episode reminded me of what full House is all about and why it's never been off the air in over thirty five years. Yeah, yeah, this was a great example, very very good example. And I do want to point out one thing that Jesse did. I love how Jesse went to Stephan DJ to help solve the problem of what the reward should be. And that's another thing that makes Full House so unique is that it's not just like, you know, the dad knows everything and.
He's telling it to the you know, it's like the adults go to the girls for advice. The girls got the adults, the guys even they go to each other. It kind of flips offs who knows what to do in any situation, and there's this real like equality amongst the family members.
And I'm glad you've wanted that out. It's true that's helped me and my parenting in that when sometimes I don't know how to talk to one, I go to the other two just say help me relate to that one because I'm clearly not the same age and give me, give me some help. But it's a brilliant parenting tool. So again, timeless.
