Jodie & Andra roll in like a fog named Karl for another recap episode of How Rude, Tanneritos.
When the Tanners plan a family trip to Disneyland, Jesse sees this as an opportunity to fulfill a lifelong dream: to hook up with a woman. But when things don’t go as planned, his style is cramped and he wants to move away forever.
What will happen when the family goes full fish-eyed lens and we have our first cliffhanger? Will Jesse return or is this the final FH episode for John Stamos - an actor we know stays around through the series finale, and then the reboot. You just never know!
We're you're back. Oh, Lah Tanner, Rito's.
What's up, Jodie Sweeten?

It's like, I feel like, I feel like I should get a pumpkin spice latte or something because this is very It's finally fall here in southern Calif.
There you go, yeah, yeah, it's uh it is. It's finally feeling like. I definitely was uh reading and curled up with a book and a blanket earlier too, So.
That's the best.
I love that it's a blanket and and that sort of weather. But by the way, everyone who's listening must be like, oh my god, it must be freezing it. No, it's for most people in the country would be t shirt weather, probably raining, but they would be like, but not cold.
Yeah, and we're like sixty seven here it's.
Right oh the wind, you know, and we're like in Parkas so yeah, yes, we get a hint of a season here where the wind is blowing. It must be fall, right, Yep.
We don't know how to drive in the rain.
We don't like we're just no, no, we're yeah, we're not accustomed to the weather. But it's quite lovely here, and I'm enjoying it, but it is certainly not helping my seasonal depression, with your with my sads.
With the between the time change.

But yeah, no, I love love the rain, love the fall, love everything about this season, and excited about the holidays coming up.
So yay, yeah, yeay. I know. I can't believe we're here already.
Yeah, right, where did this year go? It's almost twenty twenty four. Where did this year go?
I don't know.
I mean, we were on strike for half of it, so maybe that's why we're in like a time home.
It's been on strike we've been in. It's just it's the time warp that never stopped from twenty twenty. Yeah, true, true, further circling down the vortex, Yeah yeah, we're just trapped in a loop. Well, well, if we're trapping a loop, why don't we break down an episode of Full House and really entertain ourselves.
Let's let's let's do that. We will fix all of your seasonal depression right now with the with this lovely reason, we.

Uh So, today we are discussing season one, episode nineteen titled seven Month Itch Part one?
Wait did we ever introduce ourselves? Did we do our things?
We didn't see? Now? Hey, you you forget the outro sometimes now I'm forgetting the intro.
I'm just so excited that I remembered that we forgot something.
This is why we make an excellent team. We're here for each other.
We do okay, all right? Perfect?
So rewind? Okay, so why don't we get into it?
Jody?
Hey, we're back and.
You are welcome back to how rude Tannertos. We allow that in Michael, who are You're Jody Sweeten? I'm Andrea Barber.
I'm Jody Sweeten.
We have really screwed this up.
No way today made it brilliant?
Are our editor is cursing our names right now? Or just yeah, just maybe just leave it all in.
No, it's part of our charm. It's part of our charm. We're just Yeah, we're very real people who very really don't know how to do a podcast.
Okay, so we're the least qualified people to be doing this podcast. There or at least a million fans out there.
Now, that's imposter syndrome. And we dealt with that last episode. We are not that is not who we are.
Well the fan a Ritos are definitely qualified and we're here.
By the way, by the way, our editor just said this is all staying no great, So yeah, yeah, this is there's no choice.
Yeah, it's how are you Tanerto's unfiltered and unhinged? Oh so today we are discussing season one, episode nineteen seven month Itch Part one. It first aired on March Line.
There's a part two.
Yes, this is our first two parter. Yeah, very exciting. It aired on March eleventh, nineteen eighty eight, and it goes a little something like this, Jesse is fed up with his lack of privacy and family responsibilities, especially when they interfere with his love life. It was directed by Lee Shallatt Yes and written Hello, Yes, we Love Lee and written by Jeff Franklin.
It is guest.
Starring Chelsea Noble as Samantha, who's also known for Growing Pains and The Left Behind movie series, and she's also known for being Kirk Cameron's wife. Yeah, which I think she met right around she met.
Well, she was dating she dated John John Stamos, right, and I think they were actually I don't know if they were dating at the time she did this episode or if that came after. I'm not sure which Chicken her egg sort of happened, but yeah, and then at some point they obviously broke up, and then she met Kirk and then they Yeah, so that was.
And they've been Yeah, they've been Mary she diverged and it's just such a small world. They got married in nineteen ninety one, and Chelsea went on to do three seasons of Growing Pains alongside Kirk they now have six children together. So it's just so funny that these episodes are back to back, right.
It's weird.
Yeah, and the last one and Chelsea in this one, it's really funny. Okay. So that's just she's our only guest star for this week. And we opened the show in the living room where Jesse is on the phone with his flame of the month, Samantha, Samantha another uh name.
They're back, but she calls her Sammy.
Oh oh okay, so sam Yeah, sometimes he calls her sam and Sammy yeah, so okay. But I'm gonna say, just for the record, if her birth name is Samantha, it's another a name A name, Okay.
But yes, I'm sorry. It was not meaning to discount that.
Yes, j.
Your sads are coming out.
So Jesse promises Sammy that this is going to be the most romantic weekend of her life, mostly because the entire family Tanner family will be gone visiting Disneyland. And this phone that he's holding, this cordless phone, is a sight. It is like large and in charge is It's.
Like I think we said, it's like one of those like SAT phones, you know what I mean, those giant satellite things with the antenna that's the long three feet long and it weighs sixty pounds. You have to wear like a purse with it. Yeah, that's what this. It definitely feels like these are the things. These are the kind of cordless phones that like it like if you threw them, it was it was a bad idea. Oh I'm not going to tell you how I learned that lesson, but I'm just saying that. Yeah, cordless phones like that do not grow there.
Like some weight.
I mean, you could do a hit workout just by carrying two cordless phones.
They're massive.
Yeah, they don't know the how you know, you had to walk around and hold that up to your ear.
It was a workout. So Stephanie comes running into the room screaming Uncle Jesse, which prompts Jesse to quickly end this lovey dovey phone call with Samantha. Stephanie continues to run around the living room screaming, Disneyland, Disneyland, Disneyland.
You are hype Jody, like you are.
That is about how I would act when I was actually going to Disneyland, because I grew up near Disneyland. Yeah, I'm also a Disney lover, and that is yeah, I definitely I only stopped doing that about two years ago, where I've run around in the circle scream now. But I loved Disneyland. It was great. And again the irony that john is not the person leading the charge to Disneyland as the most Disney person, it's just funny to watch him be like, oh God, I'm glad I'm not going to Disneyland. I'm like the words that would never come out of Johnson never.
No, he has always been a huge Disney lover and yeah, he should have gone on this field trip, but yeah, no, no, he's staying back for this awesome date. So Jesse's trying to get Stephanie to calm down by teaching her these breathing techniques, but she's not having it. She's just going crazy. So finally the rest of the family comes downstairs and Joey, who's taking note of Steph's hyperactivity, tells Danny, I think you need to switch her to decaf.
Not not a bad idea.
Danny explains to Steph that the plane won't leave any earlier just because they're the first ones on it, and Stephanie's like, well, for the first ones on it. Then we'll be the first ones off, and then we can be the first in line at the Matterhorn and Joey chimes in with his his yodel o Lady, who's just hysterical. Matter Horn is a great ride, I.
Do if you are wearing a neck brace, that ride is never that ride like you around like that. I mean, I love it, it's great, but I really I haven't been on it in years, and my neck might be all the better for it because it's never been able to be made smooth. But that's part of the fun, is that it's terrifying and you look like you're going into into a yetti and then you abruptly turn to the left right.
The yetti is so scary.
I always yetti. Both hate it and love it, like I used to have to cover their eyes on.
So Stephanie asks DJ to explain again how great it's going to be a Disneyland, and DJ tells her that Disneyland has the greatest rides and Minnie and Mickey will come up and talk to you. Stephanie tells everyone to stop yak and it's time to go. She grabs a large Duffel bag and a large suitcase that are both bigger than she is.
She struggles out the door. Lets go, no time to wait, people, Let's move it, move it, move it. Come on, Yeah, she's leading the charge. Yep.
Danny asks Jesse, are you sure you don't want to go with us? And Jesse is sure and he quickly ushers the family out the door with their bags. We cut to later that day in the living room, a Jesse and Sammy walk in wearing tennis gear and carrying tennis records.
I can't, I have to say, John. I don't know why, but John looks ridiculous in this outfit.
I just can look.
I just saw him. It's like a FeelA shirt or something, and I just want to go, no, you know.
It doesn't look good in any decade that we're in.
It's just it's just not it's I think it's because we know him so well that I'm just looking at him going this, I don't buy this, never right. But yeah, maybe it's just because we know him so well. But it was funny thing, it's just because we know it was a very eighties moment, like very eighty tennis.
Totally or yeah, yeah, they had like the pastel colored shirts, and he wore.
Tennis shoes, so he's at least not playing I'm playing tennis in.
Boots, Thank goodness.
I learned improvement from.
Uh from the touch football incident. Yeah, or the basketball rather the basketball. I can't can't do that in boots.
Got to take off your motorcycle boots if you want to play sports. Yeah. So Jesse is so excited that he won three sets, until he quickly figures out that Amantha is the one that let him win.
Oops.
Whoops. So Jesse notices that the house is very quiet. He remarks that he and Samantha have been going out for one month, yet this is the first time they have been alone together.
Okay, Jesse's taking it slow for once.
Oh, this is like a ten year relationship in Jesse years.
Ten years, yeah, you dog years. Everything like every three days is like seven years in Jesse time.
Yeah, this might be of the longest relationship old.
Together at this point, you know what I mean.
Yeah, they're planning retirement, Yeah, exactly, they're picking out years for sure, totally. So he's very excited that this is their first time alone together. And I was trying to figure out why have they not been alone. Well, Samantha lives at her her parents' house, and Jesse's been living in what he calls Peebe's playhouse. So that's why this is their first time alone. So Jesse decides he's going to make Samantha a very romantic dinner. Does she want extra speed or original recipe?
Again?
My chicken, cold fried chicken.
Yeah, my chicken. It's a thing.
So Samantha says she's gonna go take a shower, and we get another have mercy from Jesse. We cut to the kitchen where Jesse is busy preparing this romantic dinner and he's singing, love machine. I'm just a love machine.
In a fantastic like what is that like a sharkskin suit? I mean, come on the silvery like when the bolo tie and the oh oh horizontal stripes that he met horizontal horizontal, up and down right horizontal stripes. Yeah, oh it's true.
No, he looks he's very excited about this romantic dinner. He's set in the table with a white lace tablecloth and these taper candles. That's fancy. This, this is gonna be a fancy.
Chick made that tablecloth. That was the story there.
It does seem like an heirloom.
Yeah, I would agree, pass down.
So he pours the champagne and we cut to the hallway where Jesse's bringing a glass of champagne to Samantha in the bathroom. So but he teases her by holding the champagne just out of her reach, attempting to lure her further out of the bathroom so he can sneak a peek. Yeah, he's not He's not successful, and he leaves to go change into his evening attire.
I thought it was cute. It was flirty there alone.
It's appro This is finally appropriate to be flirting sexually in a hole. At least he's alone, there's no children present, So I give.
Him, yeah, right for once. Although I think this is the least amount he's made out with anyone and there's no one around, you know what I mean. He's done far more with far more people in the room, you know what I mean, Like, all of a sudden, he's like, oh, it's been a month, where like he is. This is commitment for Jesse.
This is a huhuge change. Yeah, this is he is.
He's a changed man. We cut to the living room where the front door opens and in walks the family. Oh yeah, Stephanie is pissed. She's so sad because it was too foggy for their plane to take off. I just go Carl the fog, yep is a thing.
Wait, Carl the fog.
Yeah, he has an Instagram account. That's the fog. The San Francisco fog is called Carl.
What.
I don't know why? And there's an in you.
Just no, no, no, but you just mentioned that, like obviously, Carl. I was like, wait, what are you talking about?
Like I don't know the history behind the nickname, but yeah, there's.
Are you sure there's a history behind the nickname farther back than just Instagram or it was somebody was like, I'm gonna name the fog Carl.
I'm sure. Ay.
Maybe it's like think since like the the you know, the the early nineteen hundreds, they've been like here comes Carl, before there was even a bridge to get fogged in or an airport.
You don't know that that famous Tony Bennett Bennett song about my.
Frog it's my heart in Carl Francisco.
Yeah, oh okay, here's the breaking news, the fact.
Carls with a K least we let's make it. Carl the Fog has been a part of San Francisco since his Twitter account ah nay Twitter now x all whatever account first appeared in twenty ten. The anonymous user behind the parody account has tweeted over ten thousand times and has a mass of following of around three hundred and forty four thousand, seven hundred. Fog joke lovers, Well, that's gonna be three hundred and forty four thousand, seven hundred and one because I am going to go follow Carl the Fog.
Yeah, make that too. I'm gonna go follow too, because that's.
Wall it and you're just throwing it out there.
Yeah. Well I've seen it, like I've seen it come up in my feet. I have friends in San Francisco. I've run her friends up there, so got it? Yeah, so I I Carl just like.
Carl is Carl just slipping in your DMS?
Yeah, I mean, well he's in my for you page or whatever, right right, He's like you've been in your DMS just like, hey, you won't see me coming, but here I am right.
Just yeah, yeah, I have your feet.
Really.
Carl is a reference to Tim Burton's two thousand and three film Big Fish, which is such a fantastic movie, although at least one local reader tells us the name is Carl with a seat was used back in the nineteen eighties. Okay, there is lore. If anyone has any information on the history of Carl.
K or Carl c the Fog of San Francisco.
I'd be fascinated to learn, because it is both useless and entertaining.
That's my favorite alley.
Yeah.
Now I have a new life goal, which is to get Carl the Fog in his Twitter to like give us a shout out, give this podcast a shout out.
Please, Carl the Fog please.
Yeah, life goal.
All right, I'm on it, on it. So Danny is trying to console Stephanie. He offers her an alternative. Hey, he's gonna make tonight a family fun night right here at home.
That's never a good idea. That's never fun. I've tried to pitch that idea to my kids when there's a big disappointment. You're like, hey, I'm gonna put on a show, and they're like, shut up, mom, they can see right through it.
Yeah.
INSTEP toxic positive is like no, no, no.
She says that Joey's like, hey, what could be more fun than that? And Stuff's like, I'll tell you what. Something that starts with a D and n's in the land.
D Land, Yeah, d d Land.
So Stephanie goes off running upstairs and DJ follows her. Danny says, these disappointments are really hard on a six year old, and Joey responds with, I can't believe we missed Captain EO.
I remember love Captain EO. Yes, now now it's now it is.
It's like a Star Wars isn't a Star Wars or Star Tours.
Now Star Tours is uh, Captain EO was in the theater like next to it. I don't know, I don't know they've sent they've probably taken that out and made it part of the line for Space Mountain, which is now thirty seven days long.
That's what the fast pass too, that's right, Yeah, exactly, that's what the fast pass.
That you paid seventeen thousand dollars for.
Right, So you can watch Captain EO slash Star Wars or whatever.
Yeah, you can learn the whole history of Captain EO. You can learn about it. When he was Lieutenant EO. You know, it's just it goes way back.
Yeah. Yeah, and then go hit the matterhorn and break your neck. I mean it will be Disneyland is the complete experience.
It really is.
Okay, so we quickly because we get the kitchen.
Isn't just kidding. I love you, Disneyland. We love you.
Yeah. We actually we had annual passes. They both lived in Orange County, so we would go all the time, and we would always go in the rain because there was nobody to go to Disneyland. Yeah, there's nobody on line.
Not anymore.
I missed those days and not anymore.
So we are back in the kitchen.
Jesse walks downstairs wearing you know that any silver suit with the bolo tie. The audience goes whoo, and he lights the candles. We flipped to the hallway where Danny tells Joey, oh, I'm just gonna let Jesse know that we're back, and he knocks on the bathroom door, not realizing that Samantha is in it. So Danny sticks his head and he says, hey, we're back. We got fogged in and he shuts the door. Samantha sticks her head out of the shower curtain and says, what did you say, Jess. Danny walks in notices that there's lingerie hanging on the shower just as Samantha pops her head out of the shower again. Danny is startled, and he says, have mercy. They awkwardly introduce themselves. Danny is just a hotness. He is stammering, he's stuttering.
Get out of the bathroom. You never have you ever opened the door to someone in the shower or on the toilet and been like, oh my god, oh oh oh, No, I'm gonna stand here and have an awkward conversation. No, You're like, yeah, and you run away. You have No, I haven't.
I haven't done it, but I'm saying yes, I like, I get it. Like Danny just won't stop.
Especially a strange woman in your house. You're gonna be like, I'm gonna stand here and be a weird, creepy dude. That's in Yeah, i'd like.
He offers her shampoo and why you're not at CBS.
Go then excuse me and see yourself out would be plenty. I don't need any shampoo or conditioner, just you to leave.
There are no boundaries in the full house at all. Right, So finally Danny just gets the hell out of there and he starts calling Jesse's name, Jesse, Jesse. So now Jesse hears his name being called. He's in the kitchen, and he slowly rises from behind the kitchen island with a really panicked look on his face.
It's like when you hear your kids screaming your mom and you're like running into the room and they're like what and you're like, I didn't wait, you didn't yell for me, and they're like no, but did you ever have that happen or is it just me going crazy?
No? It's like phantom fantom Fant're just so used.
To somebody being like mom and you're just running the room and they're like, we didn't even say anything.
Yeah, yeah, no, I hear, I hear. I hear those That's in my nightmares in general, right cause I repeating Mom, Mom, Mom. So Jesse rushes upstairs just as DJ Stephan Joey walk in the other door. They notice all the food and they get excited.
Joey says, hey.
Let's take a trip to dinner Land, and he starts imitating carnival music and pretending that the bread can talk. It's very entertaining, but Stephanie is not impressed.
No, and is sitting like a potato. Might I ask, I'm just my bo I still, I'm pretty sure. I still, like I realized, I still have that same posture.
Like, left to my own devices, i'd be sitting like that, you'd be sitting like that. It's your favorite, it's your comfort, or you're sulking your sulking posture, or just your comfort.
Or just how I feel best.
Yeah. So Jesse comes backs down back downstairs, he notices that they are eating his romantic dinner. Why aren't you guys at disney Land, he demands to know, and Stephanie tells him fog, fog, fog. Danny enters the room and tells Jesse, oh, hey, I met your friend upstairs. She's very clean. Again awkward. Jesse can't believe this. He's been waiting a month to be alone with Samantha. He sits down next to Stephanie, who remarks, I've been waiting five and a half years to go to Disneyland.
Yeah.
They both say how much they hate fog and drop their heads onto the table in defeat. It's true, not very many people are happy in this house right now.
No, no, despite Family Fun Night.
Right, family fun Night is just not fun. So after the commercial break, we're in the living room, where the entire family plus Samantha have gathered on the couch for Family Fun Night. Danny is trying to hype people up. Jesse and Stephanie are just not having it. They're so dejected. Danny passes out a guitar in a tambourine and gets everyone to sing if you're happy and you know it, clap your hands. Steph is clearly not happy, even when Joey tries to get her to laugh by imitating Popeye.
Nobody's ever happy when you bring out a guitar and a tambourine in a small group, everyone does.
Nobody wants to do that.
Nobody wants to do that.
No, so nett.
Then Danny tries to get everyone to sing row.
Row Row your boat but also not great.
DJ says that's dopey, which triggers Stephanie dopey. Don't say that, of course. Then Danny accidentally tells Steph that she's grumpy, sleepy, like he's just rubbing salt in the wound. At this point, steph finally stops him and says, thanks, but family fun night just isn't fun. The audience aws is. Stephanie runs upstairs, and DJ says she'll go talk to her. So now Jesse tries to subtly signal for Danny and Joey to get lost so he and Sammy can have some time alone. They take the hint and they leave. Samantha tells Jesse how great his family is, but Jesse's still upset that it could have been an even better night. Samantha says, well, hey, why don't we go to this cute bed and breakfast that I know of before I know? Right? Well, Jesse loves this idea, but then oaps. He remembers that he promised he would babysit, so he can't go to the airbnb, got it. He's so frustrated, so they start to kiss, and randomly Michelle walks in and very awkwardly just stares at them. Jesse gives her five bucks and says, hey, go catch a movie, and Michelle takes the money and walks out. Yes, she's great of it.
There's an everywhere you look moment in there too, but I'll get back to it.
Ooh oh, okay, I don't Yeah, I don't have one for that, so okay, that'll be news to me. So yeah, that was a cute moment. Audience loves it. Then we cut to DJ and Stephanie's room. Stephanie is laying on her bed sulking. DJ walks in and tells Steph that she knows what it's like not to get what you want. Remember the oat boat commercial, ah, which is to call back.
That's such a great sibling way to be, Like, remember when you screwed me over and I didn't get the thing that I wanted because you got what you want. Like, it's that's a sibling way to be, like remember when I was disappointed and you were really happy? Yeah, well it's size, doesn't it?
Like it's so passive aggressive, it's yeah, exactly it Yeah, although.
Steph doesn't fall for it. Stefph's like, yeah, you basically tried to kill me, okay, good points.
She points it out.
She's just like you chased me your in the kitchen and tried to kill me, and it's like so she calls DJ on all lit.
But rarely do you do you mention? Like old episodes in uh you know, I was surprised. Yeah, in the nineties that was not popular to do, but this was. It was a funny, great joke.
Though it was a good one, it was it was well earned. Yes, So DJ decides there's only one way to make Stephanie smile, the tickle monster. DJ tickles Stephanie while Stephanie tries not to not to not to laugh and tries to convince her this isn't working, but it's working, and she starts laughing.
Were you really laughing?
Are you yes?
Tiklish?
Well, here's the thing. I'm not ticklish unless someone, like, unless I'm held down and someone's tickling me. Otherwise I'm like I can sit there and kind of turn it off.
But if it's yeah, in a in a in a hold.
Okay, yeah, which sounds horrible really.
But that's what siblings do to each other, each other down and each other.
They could tell by the way I was like, yeah, yeah, I was actually laughing. It's so great that, like, pee wee herman.
So Danny walks in and he's very pleased to see that Stephanie is happy again, but Stephanie corrects him. She's like, no, that didn't count because it was a tickle monster that was.
Forced happiness, not for after. Yeah.
Danny tells her that she has every right to be sad, and he completely understands, but he wants her to really think about this. She's not always going to get her own way, and while she's being sad, she's missing out on a lot of other fun things. The violins start to play.
Not Disneyland, though, you know what I mean?
Yeah, Disney you know what I mean.
This is a weird selfish.
She's not being selfish, she's no, she's saying I gonna go to Disneyland. She's six. Yeah, she's sitting stuff's actually handling it pretty well. If that would happen. We had a whole trip planned and your kid at six years old, and you were like, sorry, we can't go. Can you imagine like just melt that day.
Give her the day to be sad. You know, she's allowed.
Yeah, but it's you know, we have to teach the lesson in a quick time. I've only got twenty seven minutes.
The violins are starting to play here, which says this is this is an emotional moment, or a teachable moment.
Or time to get up. Whige All three.
Right, it's a little unwarranted, like they're not really having a like they've talked about grief, they've talked about loss, and now they're talking about you're sad about Disneyland. I don't think they needed violence here, but that's just mine.
Well, but I think they're starting to have to identify the like teachable moment in the show. I think they're finding that maybe that like is resonating with viewers that they like when they're sort of that like mom and then you know, oh, look we're having a moment.
Yeah, I pay attention. This is the moment you need to This is the lesson.
Okay, okay. So Danny says to Stephanie it's up to her. She can feel sorry for herself, or she can feel bad for a little while and shake it off and move on to the next fun thing.
It's been three hours, Danny, the kid's disappointed about going to Disneyland.
Just let her sleep it off. That's my opinion. She'll feel better in the morning. She'll get distracted, you know. Yeah, I agree. But DJ knows one thing that'll be fun, tickling Danny. So the girls attack Danny and tickling him. He's still trying to sing if You're happy and you know it. They're having a funnel time, and Jesse walks by with his guitar and he clocks this moment and then sadly walks into his own room. Yes, so, now we're in Jesse's room, where Jesse walks over to the wall. He notices that one of the pink bunnies is peeling off the wall. Kind of symbolic here. Joey walks in, eating a carton of ice cream and asks Jesse what's going on. Jesse says, every time I walk in this room, it seems like there are more pink bunnies on the wall. Joey replies, well, you know how rabbits are, which it took me a minute, but ultiply joke.
You do you not know how rabbits are?
Yes, I do. It took me a minute. I was slow to catch on to that joke, but it was funny. So Jesse sits Joey down for a talk. Joey apologizes if they ruined his night with Samantha. Jesse says, well, it's not just that. He asks, Joseph, doesn't living here get to you sometimes? Joey says, no, never he loves it, but Jesse's skeptical. You mean you love changing diapers, making school lunches, helping them with their homework. Did I mention changing diapers? Joey explains that, well, he didn't have brothers and sisters growing up, and he feels like he's part of a big family here. He says, I like having people to care about and that includes you. This is a very nice moment between.
These two very sweet moments.
Yeah, I'm enjoying it doesn't seem.
To really be landing with him, but Joey was being very Yeah.
Joey's trying, He's trying to get to get him to understand. So Jesse explains that he used to be this freewheeling, living on the edge, no strings kind of guy, and now he feels like he's married or something. He's got all these responsibilities and hassles of three kids, yet he can't even deduct them from his taxes. Joey replies, well, technically you could if you married Danny So okay.
San Francisco, late eighties, very forward thinking.
Very forward. Jesse says, it's all just getting to him. He has zero privacy, He can't write his music because there's so many distractions. He tries writing his music from his life experiences, but his last three songs have been about changing diapers, measles, and tub toys. Jesse has things he wants to accomplish in his life, and maybe living in the Tanner House is holding him back.
I felt like this was maybe the beginning of Jesse's jingle writing career, because you know, he went on and Joey go to write jingles and he's like, yeah, I've written songs about tub toys, and you know what. I was like, Hey, maybe you should tap into this, Jesse. It might be might actually pay off for you.
That's a good connection. I never thought of that before. I think you're onto something. So later that night, we hear special Dissolve music that suggests this might not be a normal scene. It is dark and Jesse is asleep in his bed when he suddenly hears the voice of Samantha calling his name, Jesse. Samantha walks into the room wearing a beautiful Fusia cocktail down. Jesse smiles and suggests that maybe she shouldn't be in there because everybody's here at home. The very next second, DJ rushes into the room, wearing pajamas and carrying a textbook. Uncle Jesse, I need help with my homework. This is quickly followed by Steph, also in pajamas, rushing into the room, Uncle Jesse, will you give me a piggyback ride? She and Jesse argue back and forth with our moment, your moment, the moment where you rub your eyes and you're like like, yes, he does.
That was either I'm having a really terrible allergic reaction or I'm crying.
I like this bit. The last time I saw this was back in episode two, our very first date, when you're trying to coax Jesse into reading a bedtime story. So this is kind of an effective effective method. So next Michelle toddles into the room and we hear a baby voice over which I presume is Dave Koier.
That is definitely Dave.
Yeah, Uncle Jesse, change my diaper? Me y mean? So now we know that this is a dream sequence, because, as Jesse points out, Michelle can't really talk yet.
Right.
Also, Michelle points out that Jesse isn't allowed to have girls in his room, thank you? Yes, right, Yeah, she's got a point. So Jesse tries to show the girls out of the room when Danny and joe walk in, announcing Jesse, it's your turn and you're their uncle. So uh, Jesse's like he gets everyone out of the room except for Samantha. He starts kissing Samantha when suddenly we see a special effect of the girls appearing on top of the jukebox out of nowhere, repeating their requests I need help with my homework. I want a piggyback ride.
But I see it in a rather threatening tone. You do you're still one to pig. I was like, oh god, you know.
Oh yes, this is you're setting up.
But it is a very creepy, creepy me. So next, this is followed by Joey and Danny suddenly appearing at the head of the bed, repeating their phrases it's your turn, you're their uncle, and then they disappear. Samantha tells Jesse we could have been so happy together, and he tries to hug her, but she disappears right out from under him. Michelle walks in the room, but not one Michelle. Two Michelle's walk in in a weird zombie like fashion and demand change me, change me, beat.
Me, change me, ga me, and that's the first time that we see both Ashley and Mary Kate on camera.
Oh I love it. Yeah, I was like a great way to get them both on screen at the same time.
And they were happy and loving it looked. I mean, it was a very cute little moment. I mean, despite the fact that it was, you know, a weird, creepy dream sequence.
Right right, it was cute to see the both of them, Yes, and you know acting the scene. It was great. So Jesse is freaked out and cue the bizarro fish fish eye lens. I don't know what.
This was the coolest thing because I'd never seen that before as a kid. And you can see me in the bottom corner, I'm like looking at probably at a monitor, I think, oh, because they had a monitor there so we could all see where we were fitting in the screen. And I think I was like, oh my god, look at that and keep your eyes off to keep my eyes off of looking at the at us on the thing thing. But yeah, that was like the first weird camera lens thing that I remember learning about as a kid was a fish eye lens.
It's so creepy and so distorted and is it just like, is it the normal camera and they just change the lens or this.
Yeah, you can't drop lens lenses on them, and it's just a lens that's like more boat out. So it makes everything in the center more prominent.
Got it? Okay? Yeah?
Oh yeah, well it they were. It was super creepy. It was this. If you put that clip of the show to some really scary music, can you imagine how horrifying that would be? So when you put the Shining too like a you know, fun eighty sitcom, You're like, oh, I could it's a happy go lucky film, No, this could be absolutely terrifying.
It's it was give me flashbacks to Halloween horror nights. It was so terrifying. I was just like, this is straight out of one of those horror mazes. Yes, So Jesse finally wakes up. He's dripping in sweat and he's screaming help. He can't take it anymore. He has to get out of this house. So the next morning, Joey and Danny walk into Jesse's room to wake him up, but find an empty bed and a note on the pillow. What the note reads, Guys, I didn't want to wake anyone up, so I left this note, I need to get away for a while. I don't know where I'm going or when i'll be back, or if I will even be back. I don't think it's working out for me here. I'll call soon. Tell the girls I love them. Oh no, Stephan, DJ walk in and say where's uncle Jesse, Danny and Joey just awkwardly look at each other, not knowing what to say, as a Chiron appears on the screen saying to be continued. Oh boy, our first cliffhanger.
First cliffhanger. And I think if I remember it, I think I know what comes next.
Oh you have, Oh you haven't. Oh I've already watched it. I already watched it.
Oh I haven't watched it yet. You haven't watched my I haven't watched it yet. If I get too far ahead of myself, then then I get confused in it A true But yeah, I'm gonna watch it, And yeah, I think I know what happens.
And this is also the second episode that ends with a freeze frame, which is it goes quick, So if you missed it, that's why, because it goes quick. But yeah, the last episode was ended in a freeze frame, and this episode ended in a freeze frame, which to my knowledge is the only two times.
Yeah.
Usually it was kind of strange, but okay, yeah.
The editor found a new button and was like, look what I can do. And then they were like, okay, two episodes is enough, dude, that's enough.
Frame stop it, just stop that. Don't do that.
Yeah, don't do that.
So that's our show to be, and that's our show.
I'm on tenter hooks.
Waiting, Oh what what tell tell me.
For the next for what happens next?
Oh, I thought you were talking about your everywhere you look moment. I got excited.
Oh, oh, well that's true. I do have so my everywhere you look moment. Oh wait, what was it? What did I see?
You said something when Michelle toddled out and took the money from.
And took the money. If you look behind her, there's someone standing in the alcove there. I don't know who. It's not Adria or it's not I don't know who is, but there's it's a handler. It's someone it might have been Bob, but I don't know who it was, but is standing in the alcohol and you just see I mean, I guess, and they left it in because I don't think she was meant to like run off. I think it was kind of an unscripted moment because you can see Chelsea and John's reaction they're sort of laughing. But whoever was back there, I guess she was like, I'm out see you later, me and the dish rag or whatever it was that she took with her, and.
Yeah, that's so funny. I didn't notice that. Yeah, I don't know if that was a cast member or maybe.
It was you leave it right, you could leave it in because it just looked like another person in the house. But I was like, hey, who's that.
Yeah, we're so used to seeing Michelle alone and unattended.
We're just like, why is there?
Right, Michelle just wanders around the house with no baby gates or nothing, just toddler walks measures that. Now it's fine, it's fine.
It's so eighties eighties child safety.
Oh well, I am very excited for next week's episode, uh, to see what happens next.
I am too, I am I think I know what happens next, but I'm still excited to kind of get to the get to the finish line here and finish up, like what what happens our first two part, first two part. It's first two part.
