But yes, I met him when I was seven at like a network something or other I remember.

What, probably the Hollywood Christmas Breade.

Probably, yeah, probably.

And I didn't know he was the Hulk at the time because I was terrified of the Hulk, and so my parents smartly did not tell me, Hey, you just posed for a picture with the incredible Hulk.

So I got to tell him this story and he was so just kind and generous.

Yea, I said, can we recreate this picture?

And he was like, of course.

He's just he looks great for he's in his seventies.

The dad that does the amazing.

Yeah, it's free to the family.

Then the kid gets an awesome costume and they do like custom orders and stuff, and and his son was their premieer debuting a new costume, which was really cool.

It was a Minecraft chicken thing.

Oh that's what it was.

I couldn't identify the U.

And yeah, it's really cool and like so so many lovely, wonderful people just really having fun and enjoying and lots of creativity.

And yeah it was good.

Yeah that was great.

You met big Bird.

We both met big birds.

Highlight.

I stopped our lines.

I was like, I practically leapt over my table when I saw big Bird.

And I have to say, yeah, what is it Katie's Katie's Katie QUT's creations or something cosplay?

Well, I have the Big Bird stire.

No anyway, uh, seventy five hundred hand placed yellow feathers on that costume that she made.

There was a little there was a hole in it so that the person could see and like talk at it.

The mouth moved like it was it is big bird.

I need to find the photo of us in Central Park with whatever that random big bird.

Walking through Central Big Bird's slightly reper cousin right right to hit on some hard times there in the Sesame Street.

Yeah, everywhere we go.

He just he was hanging out with Oscar in a trash can.

It was it was Oscar and big birds.

So yeah, yeah, I mean you kind of you.

Yeah, oh man, what a great what a great weekend.

Yeah, it was short but sweet.

We saw wolf.

Sorry, just random.

We saw we met We met a wolf.

And yeah that was yeah.

We did did our little she wolf howl and we went oh and the wolf started howling too.

We're like and then then he turned around and was like trying to like lick our faces and and sort of like not aggressively, but but like how dogs do with each other.

Apparently with wolves it's a sign of affection when they try and like groom your mouth.

But it's a little disconcerting when a wolf is sort of going for your face.

But I didn't fine with me, but yeah, it was really really cool.

That was cool.

I'm still said I didn't get to hold the owl.

They had an owl they did as well.

Yeah, Eurasia, Eurasia that I thought it was a great horned owl, but it's not Eurasian.

Eurasian something something owl.

Oh he's so cool.

Yeah.

It was his little neck on his little head on the swivel, just looking all around three hundred sixty degrees.

Yeah, it was so cool.

Yeah, lots of fun things to look at.

It's very these the last two cons, we've been to Steel City and then Smoky Mountain.

It's not like nineties con like there's right.

These cons are like just throw anything at the wall and see what sticks.

You know, you got anime, you got cosplay, You've got wolves.

This coseplay.

It's a lot of animated stuff.

It's basically shows that have like very specific followings, you know what I mean, shows that have or supernatural or you know whatever, walking Dead, that kind of stuff.

But yeah, and a ton of full house fans.

We had a lot of really great fans come.

We had people drive from Maryland, we had we had yeah, we had all we had people sent representatives, we had I mean it was so many.

Things, Yeah, so many things.

And I got gifts.

Oh yeah, we got a lot of nice gifts.

Got the little a little Lucille Ball book right here.

Oh how cute, like the children's a little golden book of Lucille Ball.

That's adorable, so sweet.

And then this fan also printed out tweets we had apparently we had tweeted back when Twitter was still Twitter.

This was years ago, and she had recommended.

She's like, she's like, I think you should write a book.

This was like ten years ago.

And then she printed out these receipts like look, I'm the one that encouraged you to write your book, and look a look, thank you, and here we are.

And then she brought my book and I signed it for her.

It was just a great full circle moment.

Yeah, no, very nice.

Somebody gave us personalized bibles with our names engraved in the cover.

That was very nice.

Yes, but can I say that yours was missing an R.

It's close enough.

Let's just say that I now call her Andrea Baber.

That you know it works.

I think it works, missus Baber.

And missus Babe, yeah Baber, Yeah, I love it.

But no, we like lots of very sweet gifts and really sweet fans and yeah, yeah.

Oh this is so sweet.

Not as many like Taylor Swift bracelets, like usually that's the big.

No, no, no, the t Swift bracelets.

I think now that the Eras tour is over, everyone has just collectively moved on from that to the next hyper focus.

And now there's focused on the wedding, the engagement of Taylor Swift.

We're in.

We're in for the long haul here, buckle up, people.

So yeah, great, great weekend all around.

I loved Smoking Mountain.

I want to go back, and I want.

To do Dollywood, to Dollywood and everything.

I had a lot of people come through my line that were like, are you gonna make it to Dollywood?

And I had to disappointingly tell them.

Now, a lot of people who were like, I'm a season holder, I'd take you right now.

I know.

They were so nice.

Lets people offer you to take us.

And I hear the Stampede is coming up at Dollywood and it's kind of the fall festival sort of thing.

And I hear that Dolly's actually there at the park during that time.

Oh man, I now know what time of year I have to go.

So yeah, we got to go for the stampede.

Okay, yeah, bucket list item bucket But.

Anyway, yeah, lovely beautiful, smoky mountains were gorgeous green, I mean just absolutely stunning.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Rain.

It rained several times when we're there, but we're such like la.

People were like, oh my gosh, it's there's rain, it's green.

The trees are green.

Tree.

Yeah.

We're like, oh, that's why the trees are green, because it rains a lot.

Yeah.

Yeah, we're used to theresily.

Welcome back to Howe Tanertos.

I am Andrea Barber.

And I'm Jody Sweeten, who was almost about to take a drink of something right before I introduced myself and realized that would be a bad idea.

I know.

I started the intro right as I saw you grounds, Like I was like, I should have waited.

Yeah, yeah, good timing.

Today we're discussing season five, episode twelve, Bachelor of the Month.

It originally aired November twenty sixth, nineteen ninety one, and it goes a little something like this, Danny has more dates than he can keep after a San Francisco magazine names him Bachelor of the Month, and Michelle becomes upset with his new popularity, Michelle's Upset Michelle.

It was directed by Joelswick, It was written by Tom Percard, and it's guest starring several return guest stars, the Renterias as Nicki and Alex Gail Edwards as Vicky Larson, Taj Mowrie as Teddy love It.

And then we have some newcomers.

We have Nicole Chamberlain as Penny Allen the Jogging The Jogging Date.

To the Door right.

Yes, she's known as Jay Moore's ex wife, and she also guest starred on Married with Children and Night Court.

Then we have John Drayman as the Maitre d.

He guest appeared on Days of Our Lives not at the same time I did Perfect Strangers, where he also played a waiter in a nineteen ninety two series called Sisters with Swoozy Kurtz.

Then we have Keith Farley as Waiter.

He doesn't get a name, He's just the waiter.

Uh oh, maybe he's the one that no, never mind.

He voice directed the Skylanders and Call of Duty video games.

Oh wow, I don't know much about video games.

Call of Duty is like one of the largest video game series out there.

But I don't know voice directed.

I mean it's I imagine he does a lot of voiceover work or directs voiceover.

Well, there's a lot of voice director credits.

I think he's primarily a voice racked and also I assume also a voice actor as well.

Oh yes, because he he either voice directed or was in Rugrats and the Wild Thornberries.

Okay, yeah, uh so he's great, fantastic work.

And then last, but it's certainly not last, we have Jennifer Wood as roller blading date, not jogger, no, no, she's the roller rollerblader and she did seven episodes of Dragon's Den, which is a reality show from two thousand and six.

Never watched it, unfortunately, And they didn't name the other dates, the you know, the other women they didn't have So yeah, they didn't have lines, so they don't they don't get a convention.

Okay, so we do not start with the teaser.

There's no teaser.

We go straight to the credit.

Not a tease to be found.

We start in the kitchen.

Jesse rushes down the stairs with a walkie talkie attached to his side.

He quickly greets the family who's gathered at the table for breakfast.

Everyone says hi, but Joey and Danny point out that they've barely seen him since the twins were born.

Danny asks, how's it going, Dad, and Jesse boasts, Oh, it's going fine, and it's not Dad, it's mighty Dad.

And he poses like a superhero for emphasis.

With some excellent necklaces.

By the way.

Oh yeah, it's just great for lots of bling for changing diapers and stuff like that.

Fortunately the babies aren't grabbing yet, or they would be for sure grabbing all of that, right that bling.

Jesse goes on to explain that he was up all night getting the nursery done.

He grabs a broom and a laundry basket for his next tasks, but first he needs a nutritious breakfast.

At his request, they all load some donuts onto the broom handle.

It's very unsanitary, prop well, the prop donuts prop donuts usually, you know, but right.

But on the show we know it's a prop donut.

But like in real life, he's like to throw some doughnuts on a broom for me, and I'm gonna eat them, but.

You corn on the cob, you know, it's just like that's a weird.

Yeah, yeah, Danny Tanner would never.

So.

Then the doorbell rings and Danny gets up to answer it, saying, hey, that's my ride.

Jesse's walkie talkie sounds, but we see it's not a walkie talkie, it's actually a baby monitor.

We hear Becky on the other end, come in, Mighty Dad, and Jesse answers, read you loud and clear, mighty Mama.

Becky reveals we have a situation in the attic.

We've got a number two in progress from twin number one, and Jesse responds ten to four on number one's number two, over and out, and he heads back up the stairs to help his wife.

Cute little bit like they're in it, like they are in the thick of babyhood.

And I love Jesse's just being like, I got it.

Look look at me.

Yeah, because you do got The first like week, you're like, I've got I think I'm gonna be okay, And then it all catches up with you and the adrenaline wears off and you're like.

Oh no, yeah, it's true.

When they're really really little, they sleep a lot.

So yeah, like the first few weeks are usually not terrible, but yeah, they're they're they're tag teaming, they're they're doing good parenting, co parenting, they're just Yeah, I'm proud of Jesse.

He has risen to the occasion.

Good job, Jesse.

H Then Danny and Vicki walk in.

He introduces her to the family.

Michelle gushes, Daddy, you're right, she is a pretty girl.

Vicky smiles and thanks Danny for the compliment, and then Michelle, not so slyly, asks are you going to ask her on a date?

Oh?

Kids, they always say the one thing you don't want them to say.

So Danny tries to play it cool.

Michelle, where would you get an idea like that?

And Michelle admits from Stephanie.

Stephanie shrugs, I heard it from DJ, and DJ insists I heard it from Joey, and Joey reveals and I heard it from Danny.

Oh now it's awkward.

Danny chuckles.

Tell Vicky you see how these crazy rumors get started.

Danny assumes that Vicky wouldn't want to mix business with pleasure, and Vicky admits that's true.

So Danny says, great, it'll work out perfect.

I won't ask you out and you won't say no.

Then Kimmy barges In wearing a very colorful get up, sort of a tropical blue shirt right oversized.

You look like you're ready for Margaritaville.

I know, I kind of.

Loved the outfit because I think because it was I mean, it's loud, yeah, but it was just kind of baggy and flowy, and I'm like, well, it's comfortable at least.

Kimmy excitedly announces you'll never guess who Bay City Magazine picked as Bachelor of the Month.

She shows them the fold out centerfold photo of Danny, who is wearing a tuxedo and giving the camera a thumbs up.

Wow.

Kimmy's face sours as she realizes, oh, thank god he left his clothes on.

And I remember this being kind of a fragile prop, Like they didn't have a real centerfold, full out picture of Bob, so they kind of constructed it with sticks and stuff for They're like, don't open it, open it, jelly, And then I had to hold it in a certain way so it would just sort of flip and you know, make it easy on the cameraman.

But uh yeah, fragile prop, but a great little site gag there.

Uh So, Danny takes the magazine from Kimmy and looks at it in surprise, and he admits, oh wow, I don't know what to say.

Joey side eyes him.

Well, you could say three years of sending in your picture finally paid off.

Danny turns to Vicky, I hope you don't think I did this just as an easy way to meet women, and Vicky responds, Oh, of course not.

You probably did it to get publicity for the show.

Danny looks at her with relief.

Absolutely having a lot of strange women chasing after me.

Boy, that's the last thing I want.

On cue.

There's a knock at the back door.

Give me answers to reveal a woman in a workout outfit jogging in place.

Just you never know what's going to come through that back door.

It's like nrding, you know, the lion, the witch and the jogging girl.

I mean, yeah, And I'm.

Like, why didn't she use the front stoop?

I don't know, Well why not.

She was jogging through the park, I mean their backyard, and so she just came upon this house after you know, going a couple of miles through obviously the Golden Gate Park, and yeah, maybe.

The Golden Gate Park somehow attaches to the Tanner backyard.

Yeah, it's just so yeah, it's huge.

It's yeah, right they got into.

You know, they really did.

So this jogger woman breathlessly asks, Hi, does the bachelor of the month live here?

And kim I mean they punt his address?

Like how did she fine?

I don't know.

Well says that she lives on the street or something.

Oh yeah, yeah that's right.

So Kimmy responds, yes he does, but you're the last thing he wants, and she slams the door in her face.

Danny rushes to the door, desperate to meet this mystery woman, and he invites her inside.

She introduces herself as Penny Allen.

She jogged to the Tanner's house from down the street and across the Bay Bridge just to ask Danny to dinner.

And she says all this while she's continuing to jog in place that does sound a little stalker ish now, yeah, And she's like, hey, I ran.

Up to your back door and wondered if we could get a date.

And I will say for as long as she's been jogging, she looks great, Yeah, beat a sweat on.

Her Oh no, not not here right, No, for having jogged for probably the better part of an hour.

Yeah, looks fantastic.

Yep.

So Danny says yes to the date, and Penny runs off.

Literally Danny mimics her moves and does a quick jog over to Vickiy.

He acts suave, brushing his hair back with his hands while saying, what do you know?

I got myself a date tonight?

And I love that little detail, that little overconfident, you know, brushing the fingers through his hair.

It's just such a fun little moment that comes back later.

But he's so awkward when he does it, like he's still you know what I mean, Like it's like he's like doing it.

It's like you're like, no, just just run your hit, but he's like moving.

It's funny.

It's it's almost like he's trying to imitate Jesse and the cool fingers through the hair, but he's just not nailing it at all.

It's so funny, So Danny.

So Michelle wins, what about my bedtime story?

And DJ jumps in, we'll fill in for dad, and Stuff nods in agreement.

How often does Dad have a date anyway?

And Michelle shakes her head not very often, and this reverse shot of the kitchen table will never not be weird to me.

It's just, I know, it's always weird when they bring out that fourth wall because it's also.

Just such an obvious like there's no you know what I mean, It's just a flat wall with a painting on it, like.

It's there's no depth to it.

To block the audience for a minute to get this shot right.

Next in the Attic, Jesse and Becky show the twins their brand new nursery.

When Jesse asks the boys what they think, they don't respond obviously, and Jesse jokes, oh, I can feel the excitement.

Then he shakes their special Elvis mobile and jokes they're all shook up see, and Becky hopes they can sleep with the glare of those sequined jumpsuits like it's so ridiculous.

I love it, so Elvis mobile, like that is just fantastic.

Jesse asks what's next, and Becky suggests a diaper check.

While Becky's twin is fresh as a daisy, Jesse's twin smells like for He asks the babies in frustration, why is it that every time you're wet you're dry?

Every time you're awake, you're asleep, every time you're spitting up, you're hungry.

Guys, you're identical.

Twins.

Do something identical.

Would be the hardest part about twins.

Yeah, they don't have identical needs at the same time.

That's gotta be tough.

Becky calls Jesse cranky and tells him to take a nap, but Jesse insists he doesn't need one.

In fact, two hours of sleep a night is more than enough for Mighty Dad.

Becky jokes that next time they should go for triplets, and Jesse wins, is, next time you may have to go without me.

Up in Michelle and Stephanie's room, DJ is reading Michelle a bedtime story about a tug boat, and I totally forgot that you guys are sharing a room.

Now it's been an episode or two, and I was like, oh, yeah, that's right.

Michelle is now where Stephanie used to be.

DJ finishes the story with a t but Michelle is displeased with DJ's efforts.

Michelle explain, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, she's she's already upset.

You don't want to poke the beast, Michelle explains.

When Daddy tells the story, he goes toot and pretends to pull on a handle.

So DJ does it again, but Michelle isn't pleased with the volume of her voice this time.

She makes her older sister say it a few more times.

Then Steph walks in with a glass of water from the kitchen.

Specifically, Michelle is skeptical of whether or not it's actually kitchen water, but once she gives it a taste, it passes her inspection.

As opposed to bathroom.

Water, different have different flavors.

This is true, I guess.

Yeah, if you're not gonna have specific very yeah, oh man, they can get specific about the color of the cup, which cup, which sink?

Give them the right cup and they cry, it's.

Yeah, it's it's a it's an emotional roller coaster.

Uh.

So DJ and stuff turn on her lamp as the night light.

Because the lights off in this house.

No, they have.

Actually, I'm shy, like twenty three hours a day she's in the light, you know what I mean, She's.

Like, I know, no wonder she well, yeah, her sleep hygiene isn't as great as it could be.

She need she needs a yeah, a softer night light, not quite so bright.

So they lock her dollhouse and then they give her a kiss good night.

DJ grins, see, I told you we could do it, just like Daddy, But Michelle disagrees, n uh, you need to work on your tug boat.

Very judgy, very judgy.

DJ admits she'll probably have another chance because Dad has a date every night this week.

She groans, right, it's like, wow.

She seems so out of character.

It really is.

Yeah, to have what is it like, twenty five dates and ten days like that is it's very out of character for Danny.

But he's you know, he's riding this high bachelor there.

Yes, he's only got one month.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah.

The next month it'll be somebody else, probably in the Tanner family.

But it'll be hopefully Joey.

He he's a good girlfriend.

So Michelle groans, you've gotta be kidding, and Stuff responds No, Dad is out having fun right now, and Michelle wonders, what could be more fun than me?

Cue a montage, Get a Danny montage Danny and his dates while the zz top song Sharp Dressed Man plays in the background.

This is I love a Danny montage.

I have to admit like Danny montage because it's so ridiculous.

He's just he commits man when he really commits to the spit.

First he's out at dinner with Penny the Jogger.

Then he's roller skating with another woman.

Next he's at a forty nine ers game with somebody else who didn't get credited.

Then he's tearfully watching a performance of Romeo and Juliet with a woman as she dabs his tears away.

And finally he is slow dancing with yet another woman, and when he dips her, he lifts up a completely different woman and they continue to dance amazing.

It's just he's got game finally, you know, he's finally got game.

Go Danny.

We cut quickly to the wake Up San Francisco set and Danny happily updates the viewers on day ten of being a Bachelor of the Month.

He smiles as he reminisces on his romantic date last night.

He recalls Amber and I road bumper cars and boy, oh boy, can she bump.

It just so again.

It feels so out of character for Danny.

I know, I mean, yes, he's just excited because.

Maybe he doesn't get a lot of attention.

He doesn't get a lot of attention, and he's you know, it's been five years since Pam, or five or six years since Pam passed away, and so it's time he's back in the saddle, and boy is he enjoying it.

Yeah.

Vicky gives a fake laugh.

Danny, I don't think our viewers need to hear about another one of your shallow dates.

Danny questions shallow, and Vicky points out that he's been with twenty four women in ten nights.

I'm tired just thinking about dinner every night, plus maybe a brunch there on a Sunday, right Like.

I'm exhausted.

When does he have time to sleep?

Danny defends himself, calling it quality time, but Vicky doubles down and repeats shallow.

Danny shoots back, Oh, I'm sure your dating life is so deep.

I could just picture you with some stuffed shirt discussing Russian literature over white wine and breeze.

Vicky, Oh, I can imagine what your dating life is like, and then she mimics Danny by over touching her hair and showing a goofy grin g amber.

I wonder which bumper car goes the fastest zing this tense banter between the two of them, like, this is fantastic.

Their chemistry is so on point.

The Selene I know they.

Were so I forgot sort of how it was at first with them.

Yeah, yeah, you just I love it.

You could just see this little relationship brewing.

It's great.

So Danny uses this opportunity to ask Vicky out on a date live on air in front of their viewers, and she accepts.

Danny Grin's well, then tomorrow you can tell everybody that I'm not the shallow, bubble headed bachelor you think I am.

And then Vicky quips or I can call it like I see it.

Danny's finally met his match, you know, and this verbal warfare its all the quips.

With her discussing, discussing Russian literature over breed.

Brie is delicious.

That sounds great.

Actually, you know some breeze's very very it is, but the breed is.

I'm there for that.

Yeah, I'm down anytime for Brie.

Next in the kitchen, Joey hangs up the phone and tells Jesse that's the third Cindy that's called Danny today.

How does he keep all these women straight?

And Jesse remembers that he used to have memory tricks, like Lisa who wore lace became Lacey Lisa.

He stares off into the distance, thinking about his past flings.

When his wife walks downstairs, as Jesse dreamily says, help me, Ronda, Help help me, Ronda, Becky asks, help you do what Jess, and he gets quite the scare.

Then he hands Becky a clean basket of laundry, while Becky hands him a dirty bag of laundry.

They both let out an exhausted huff as Jesse questions, does it ever end?

No, it doesn't.

Laundry there, it's it's never ending.

That new board laundry.

Yeah, they're you're they're changing out You gotta change our outfits like eight times a day because they spit up the poop the poop league.

Yeah, there's oh man, and they've got times too, So yeah, the laundry is intense.

Becky reminds Jesse to change the crib liner because Alex spit up again, and Jesse asks, is it my imagination or is more coming out than going in?

Becky admits it's one of the mysteries of science.

As the new parents slump over in exhaustion, Joey asks what happened to mighty Dad and Mighty Mama.

Jesse size we're mighty pooped.

Joey tells them they should pace themselves.

The twins don't even move yet.

True, then, yeah, this is the easy part.

They're non mobile.

Then we hear a baby start to scream through the monitor, and they ask each other whose turn is it?

Point to each other in unison yours, and then they both get up and say, all right, I'll go.

This is I am exhausted just watching this episode, between the newborn stuff and the dating stuff.

Yeah, I needed a nap after this.

Back in the girl's room, Danny's bedtime story to Michelle is about Vicky calling him a shallow maiden chaser, so he proclaims Prince Daniel is going to sweep her off her feet with his charming, dashing ways and make her eat her words in front of the TV kingdom.

Michelle admits this is not his best story, but as Danny continues, then the two of them sailed off into the sunset on a beautiful magic tug boat Dootdote and Michelle can't help but smile.

I do love that tug boat.

Danny continues her bedtime routine, and Teddy walks in confused.

He thought that he and Michelle were gonna play, and Danny explains that he has a date tonight, so they're doing her bedtime routine early.

Then Michelle jumps out from under the covers, fully dressed and exclaims, now I can get up and play.

Teddy looks at his friend with concern as he says, this is a strange family.

Saye strange family, Titty's he speaks for all of us.

This is a very strange family.

What did I want?

He's like, I just came over for a playdate.

And you got weird.

Yeah, they totally are.

Then Michelle asks her dad if she can go on his date with him.

Danny shakes his head.

No, no dating, that's something you'll do in your thirties.

He walks out of the room, and Michelle sadly tells her friend, my daddy is always leaving me.

Oh, what's the guilt?

That's right, but she's not wrong.

For ten days, he's been on twenty four dates.

And Michelle, as we know, really needs a lot of focus.

Spent too much time alone and she needs she needs some attention.

I don't blame her, no at all.

Uh So, Teddy wonders, how come, and Michelle rolls her eyes because he's the spatula of the month.

I love that one.

So cute.

Yeah, they don't know what a bachelor is, they know what a spatula is, so he's a spatulate.

Teddy is obviously confused, so he just nods along and responds, if you say so.

Michelle decides that she's gonna go on the date with Danny, but they'll have to be very sneaky.

Teddy's eyes go wide as he points to himself and Michelle and Michelle clarifying uh we and Michelle grins that's right, you're my date and points to him.

Teddy's eyes go even wider, and Michelle gives him a little wink.

Boy, what are they up to?

Stephanie runs downstairs to tell Joey and dj that Jesse and Becky are on their way down.

She asks if their surprise dinner is ready.

We see that the kitchen table is decorated with a rose, two candles, and two place settings, and the table is conveniently turned in a different direction so we can get a better camera.

Yes, yes, because it wouldn't be good otherwise.

No, no, no, no, no no, Why would you turn the table because it's just works better.

Don't ask?

Yeah, because Joel's wick got frustrated trying to.

No, it's not a cross, and you don't want him next to each other.

They've got it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, so it's like, okay, this just don't ask questions, just do it, don't think too hard about.

It, don't I don't pull that thread.

Yeah yeah, this is one of those times.

Joey responds in a French accent, Yes, I made my specialty pork and beans with a white wine sauce.

Then Danny walks in wearing a suit and tie.

He confidently asks his family guess where I'm going, and they say in Unison on a date, but he tells them it's not just any date.

He tells them to guess who he's going on a date with, and they respond in Unison again, Princess Vicky.

In the background, we see Michelle and Teddy creeping past the kitchen window.

Of course, nobody notices the kids are unattended again, you.

Know, yeah, I mean the two older ones are probably driving some sort of a box truck and helping someone move right now, which is why they're not paying attention because they I mean, they're in and out, you know what I mean, the way big movie quick and yeah careers.

He's like, I tucked her in at five pm and whatever happens after this not my problem.

Not my problem.

So are they insinuating that the kids crawled down from the second story bedroom window and now we're walking through the shape shifting backyard to get to Danny's car.

I don't know, No, I think they're I think the bye is they went down the front stairs, out the front door, and around the back of the house to the obvious place where you would keep a car, which is in the backyard of.

Your house, in the backyard where the cement truck was.

Yeah, we're of.

Ample room in between buildings in San Francisco to drive right through there.

So ah, okay, that makes a lot more sense.

They were like scaling the you knowing, Yeah, hey, they like that shot.

If they were you know, I'm sure if it was back in nineteen eighty seven, Oh yeah, they could have put the kids up on the right.

Down you know what I mean, like drop them down from a crane.

You could have done it with me probably, but now.

Not with them, and they're like, no, we have child labor laws.

Rus they've tightened up those child labor laws by now.

So yeah, Hi, I'm Terry Hatcher, and you may remember me as Susan Meyer from Desperate Housewives.

I'm Andrea Bowen, though you may know me as Terry's on screen daughter Julie Meyer.

And I'm Emerson Tuney, Terry's real life daughter.

And this is Desperately Devoted.

A rewatch podcast dedicated to the iconic series Desperate Housewives.

One of whom is watching the show for the very first time.

Yes, that's me Andrea.

And look at how the show continues to inform conversations about relationships, identity, and culture today.

Listen to Desperately Devoted on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

So Danny realizes he told this story to everyone, and then he says says goodbye.

Becky and Jesse walk downstairs and Stephanie greets them.

Ah, the cuts up a party of two right this way, your table is awaiting.

They quickly realize it's a dinner date, and Jesse asks, you guys did this for us.

Joey responds in his announcer voice, that's right, Jesse and Rebecca, You've won a night of free childcare and a romantic dinner for two.

Jesse is unimpressed by the pork and beans, but Joey adds in his French accent in a white wine sauce, and they all hit upstairs and turn off the lights, so the table is candlelight.

It's very romantic.

Jesse and Becky can't believe that they have a whole evening to themselves.

Jesse declares, this is our chance to have a nice adult conversation without talking about the babies.

We'll just catch up on the rest of our lives.

Becky asks about his music, and he asks about her TV show, but they both can't help but mention the babies.

That's kind of the biggest news you got going on.

They have nothing else going on besides diaper changes and laundry, so yeah, what else are they going to talk about?

Becky can't help but tell him that Nicky sneezed today and he looked like a bunny.

Jesse's sad that he missed it.

They steer away from another baby conversation and hold hands, ensuring that they will both enjoy themselves tonight.

Up in the nursery, Joey, Stephanie, and Dj are in the nursery taking care of the twins.

One of the babies needs a diaper change, so they do rock paper scissors to determine who will be responsible for it.

Now, this is a silly question.

Yeah, but he said rock scissors paper.

I know, does does that timber throw you off of you know what I mean?

It should be to me, it's always rock paper scissors.

Rock paper scissors, right, that's the official title rock.

One, two three.

Yeah, No, Dave screwed this up, salavels.

Dave screwed it up and the Joel didn't have another take in him.

So that's what this probably was.

Rock scissors paper.

Nope, doesn't have the same ring to it, so, of course, Joey does his Popeye voice while changing the diaper.

He jokingly says he should change his name to poop Eye, but that was a Dave edition.

Then Nikki peas and it shoots out towards Joey but just misses him.

Joey quickly covers him in size.

At least your parents are having a nice romantic dinner to themselves.

The quick diaper switch with the boys.

Oh yeah, with the boys, you gotta be gotta be gotta be quick or few.

It's a fountain.

Yep, we smashed.

Cut to the kitchen, we see Becky and Jesse have fallen asleep at the table while holding hands, which you know when you're in the throes of newborn hood.

Yeah, that's all you want.

Naps take precedence to anything else, just right now.

Oh yes.

Over at Danny's date, Danny pulls up to the cheise Leon and tells his date, I'm excited you agreed to come here with me.

Vicky is going to be a lot of fun.

The prices are high, the portions are small, and the waiters are snooty.

Vicky sarcastically responds, oh, I can't wait, I hope the chairs are hard.

Danny Hans's car keys to the valet and then they head inside.

I'm trying to figure out where they shot this.

Was it just somewhere on the lot, Like, it doesn't look like a real restaurant.

They in the montage scene, they're like walking down stairs as if they're coming from a forty nine ers game, which really Yeah, and it's it's literally just an old building on the Sony lot.

Yeah, yeah, I don't know, Like, just walk down.

Those stairs, just do something, right.

Yeah, we'll pretend it's the stadium.

Just have props, put together a cheiz Leon sign, and we'll just put it up outside the production office and turn that into the restaurant.

So funny.

So in the car we see that Teddy and Michelle were hiding under a blanket in the back seat, and Michelle triumphant triumphantly yells, we did it.

Teddy admits I've never been that quiet in my whole life.

Michelle nods in agreement, and they both scream at the top of their lungs.

Sometimes you got to do that after you've been quiet for a while.

I get it.

Oh yeah, you just got to get it out Right after the screaming, Michelle says, much better, Let's go eat.

Inside the restaurant, Danny greets the host, who tells them that their table is ready.

Danny hands him a one dollar bill, asking if they can have a booth instead.

The man pockets the money and smiles I'm afraid not.

Then Michelle and Teddy walk in.

Michelle reminds him this is a grown up restaurant.

Let's act like grownups.

Teddy holds out his arm and says, this way, my dear, before escorting her in.

It's very cute, you know.

I mean, they're brigin rules, but they're adorable while they're doing it.

Danny and Vicki sit down at their table and the waiter promptly greets them.

Danny suggests the pete to Vicki and then asks the waiter to tell Frederick bonjour from Danny Tanner.

The man responds, Frederick quit a year and a half ago, and then he walks away.

Vicky sarcastically asks, so, Danny, do you come here often?

And Danny laughs it off before asking what they should talk about, politics Russian literature.

Vicky happily dives into Russian literature.

But Danny just makes a joke of it.

Teddy and Michelle spot Danny from across the restaurant.

Michelle wants to surprise him, but Teddy points out that there are no chairs for them.

They look at the bigger table, which is a booth directly in front of them, and decide to sit there.

Always ask I know, it's way more comfortable.

Then the waiter walks up to them and asks who they're here with.

Michelle explains that her dad is on a date, so the man assumes that they'll be joining them, and he hands each of them a menu.

Michelle shouts out, I'll start with the happy meal, and Teddy chimes in, I'll have what she's having, but hold the pickle.

Then a dessert dessert cart stops right in front of them.

Michelle gasps, whoa baby, there's a happy meal.

Teddy's eyes light up and he tells her to grab a fork.

They start eating the desserts directly off the cart, when Michelle, hey, it's her sugar bit it's like.

Kryptonite.

Yeah, like a cart full of sugar.

I can't r.

A cart full of cakes.

Yeah, like this is oh man, I'd be excited about that.

Too.

They start eating the desserts directly off the cart when Michelle realizes Daddy's missing all the fun, so she calls out to him and waves.

Vicky notices and tells her date, there's a young lady waving at you, and without turning around, Danny boasts, Oh, yeah, I know.

It's all part of the price I pay for being Bachelor of the month.

I don't want to make you jealous, so I'm not even gonna look, and Vicky insists, no, you really ought to look.

Danny turns to see Michelle smiling as she eats her desserts, and she tells him you really got to try the happy meal.

Danny runs over, stunned and worried, asking how she got there.

Michelle states, in your car.

We were hiding in the back seat.

Teddy pipes up, if we're in trouble.

It was her idea and points to Michelle.

Danny tells them they're both in trouble and seats them in the booth.

Vicky hurries over, asking if everything's all right, and Danny explains that his daughter and her friend stowed away in his car.

He sternly asks Michelle why she did this, and she responds, because I never see you anymorew ah Teddy asks, with cake covering his face, is that because your spatula.

Of the months so great?

I love that?

This is a great little bit here.

I love this.

Danny asks Michelle, how could you say you never see me anymore?

I see you every morning, and I told you a bedtime story tonight.

Michelle argues, before dinner doesn't count.

You don't tuck me in anymore.

Danny assures her that if he's not able to do it, someone else will, but she insists it isn't the same.

He does the best tug boat.

Danny casually tells Vicky she has a point.

There, I do.

I do one heck of a toot toot, and then he turns back to Michelle.

That does not excuse you from leaving the house and sneaking into my car.

Michelle asks, with puppy dog eyes, Am I in trouble?

Yes?

You left the house?

Yeah, you sun into a car.

Yeah what if the valet would have taken you?

Can't trouble?

I love you, but no, you get right?

Good thing?

This is sitcom lander.

This could have taken a drastic turn in a different direction.

Right, Yeah, Danny lets out a sigh, admitting it's not all her fault.

He should have talked to her about this whole dating thing before he started going out every night, or he should have slowed down, you know, like every other night.

Been like seeing three women at date.

Danny, there's a there is a there's a relaxed way to do this.

You know, it's entirely kind of your fault, dude, Like, it's not you know what I mean?

Like you yeah, yeah, like, yes, was Michelle wrong for sneaking out?

Keep sneaking in the car?

That's they did help Danny.

He yes, he should have had this four thoughts a long time ago.

He probably doesn't.

I mean, when what is he ever going to see?

Get twenty four dates with in ten days?

You know what I mean?

True?

Yeah, this is true.

He's good.

He's trying to capitalize on this.

Uh So, he lovingly says, I know how important it is that I tuck you in.

It's important to me too.

I love our special time together.

Danny decides to make a special date tomorrow night at her bedtime to tuck her in.

Michelle happily says it's a date, and they both say, I love you before giving each other a big hug.

Vicky has a huge smile on her face, and she suggests, well, since we're all here, why don't we make this a double date.

Danny likes the idea, but first he excuses himself from the table so he can call home and tell them the kids are all right, good, good, good addition.

Otherwise, someone's got to be looking for them, right, I mean maybe not.

Yes, the house tends to not notice what, you know.

I mean they come back.

But yeah, right.

Right, Danny's doing the responsible thing, is a dad.

He's informing the other caregivers while he's gone.

Vicky grabs another dessert from the cart and hands it to Michelle.

She asks, this is okay with your dad, right, and Michelle nods right, of course.

Gotta have her, gotta have her sugar.

Next, in the living room, Vicky, Michelle, and Danny walk in and Vicky admits I had a great time.

Michelle, I hope we double date again soon.

Did they make Teddy walko?

You think, Oh, yeah, well I know it's I wouldn't surprise me.

No, he surprises me.

Send them a cap door.

I was already in the vaccat that's fine.

It's all he's self reliant.

He'll be fine, so Michelle responds, tomorrow's good for me, and Danny tells his daughter that they'll go over her social calendar.

When he comes upstairs to tuck her in, she smiles, I'll be waiting with the tugboat book, and Danny responds with at.

Michelle looks at Vicky and says he's still got it before running upstairs.

Then Danny apologizes to Vicky, telling her it wasn't the scintillating evening he was hoping for, and Vicky admits, actually it was fun.

I hope you don't mind if I tell our viewers that you are a terrific dad.

Danny thinks her and then confesses he got carried away with all these women wanting to go out with him.

He admits the truth is I'm not really a super stud bachelor, and Vicky responds, somehow I knew that and gives him a smile.

Danny says, you know, I'm just looking for somebody special, and Vicky nods, I know what you mean.

I'm going through the same thing.

Danny is surprised by that, but he says good night and goes to walk her out, but then they lock eyes and stare at each other for a moment before kissing.

Michelle's watching from upstairs, and she lets out ooh, and Danny awkwardly says, I'll be right up, honey, and Michelle does another toot toot and runs to her room.

Danny opens the door for Vicky, saying I'll see you at work tomorrow.

Good night.

He shuts the door and runs his hands through his hair, once more, feeling extra good about himself right now.

And that is our show.

This was a cute little episode.

Yeah, this was cute.

Uh not one of my favorites.

Yeah's top ten.

But I like it for the Danny Vicky.

Oh yeah, this is the beginning.

This the first kiss.

This is the beginning of a much loved relationship that fans are still shipping all these decades later.

If you guys haven't heard our interview with Gail Edwards, please head back a few episodes, a few weeks and two parter.

Yeah she's great.

She still has that great hair.

So jealous.

Yeah, great hair, great skin, egg.

And just lovely, super sweet, really fun.

Yeah.

She was such a great balance to Danny.

You know, she really was.

You know, I see what the fans see in this relationship.

I kind of agree with them.

I wish Danny and VICKI had been endgame, but I know didn't happen.

What didn't happen?

Full well, that won't happen.

Well maybe Yeah.

Anyway, Wow, that took a dark turn.

Did you have any everywhere your looks?

So?

I did not?

I did not have any.

I one.

Maybe I'm not sure about it.

Okay.

In the Danny montage, we're seeing all of Danny different dates.

At the end, he's dipping a girl in a slow dance, and I believe the girl he first dips it looks like Debbie Gregory.

Is it a Debbie or was it dates?

I think they were five Thenbie, it was not a thing.

I feel like they'd broken up by season five.

So maybe this is just another girl that looks like all the other girls.

I mean, I mean, who knows.

I don't know if anyone recognizes any of these people, any of these uncredited women.

Yeah, and not many of them get credits in the In the.

Guest Stars, if you talk or Jog or brolerblade, that's it.

You have to have a special talent, you have to have a special talent or a line and then you got a credit.

No, I didn't have any other.

Everywhere you look, moments.

Light on everywhere he looks, Yea, there's just lots lots of babies.

D I mean, I feel like I was.

This was one of those episodes.

I'm like, I don't even remember this because I was like hardly in it.

It was a very you know, it was all sort of Danny and and then the babies were B story.

Right, you were the b story of the b story.

Yeah, yeah, you were light week for you.

Definitely a light week for me.

I just brought in the magazine.

But yeah, no, I like it just for the Danny VICKI part of it, the Danny Vicky origin story.

Yeah, because some of it doesn't feel like Danny's behavior.

But again, like we said, he's just he's.

He does not act, he doesn't know, he's had no game for most of his life, and he doesn't know, doesn't know how to act around women.

But you know, he got his chance to shine.

It's true he did, and thank goodness, and I love Vicky for giving him a hard time first.

That was you had to earn it a little bit kind of like kind of like Jesse and Becky.

I like it.

You can't.

You know.

These women are like, don't play with me.

I'm not taking I'm not here for this.

And it's great.

These women are great role models for early nineties especially.

It's like, yeah, just they don't take any crap.

They put the men in their place.

Yeah, these are strong role models for girls out there.

Way to go for a strong female journalists.

Let's go.

Yeah, Vicky's winning Emmy's you know, I mean, come on.

You go, girl.

I love this.

Well done, full house.

Well done full house?

And uh and dare I say well done us?

Because we got through the episode.

I did not sneeze only once I had to turn my camera off.

Is that When you turned I.

Was like, no one needs to see this.

I figured, yeah, but it's been.

Great, We've done it.

I'm so excited to see where the Vicky stuff goes next because I know it's kind of a slow a little bit of a slow.

Birth, isn't it slow?

Isn't a slow build?

I think it's a slow build.

I don't know.

I'm not sure, but I don't remember.

Our next episode is easy writer, so I don't know what that has to do.

I don't know.
