Speaker 5

Yeah, we just do the same show we.

Speaker 3

Already did again.

Speaker 2

I mean trying to get a great thing about weekly sitcoms, though, I.

Speaker 5

Think this season has multiple episodes with good and evil spirits.

Speaker 2

Or twins or oh yeah, we do have a we have a couple of those.

That's a very special, very special episode.

Speaker 3

There was one or two too many in that.

Speaker 1

Well, let's briefly recap each each episode to remind those of us that have brain fog and can't remember.

We start with season five, episode one, Double Trouble, where Jesse and Rebecca feel confident about parenthood until they learn that she is expecting twins and Michelle is nervous on the first day of kindergarten.

Speaker 2

Season five, episode two is Matchmaker Michelle.

It's just for you.

Speaker 1

Did we take a full week to record that episode or did you just cram it onto the end of one of the other.

Speaker 2

Weeks that we were creeping.

Speaker 3

I think no, we did.

It was a separate Well, that's a good question.

Because it was so short.

It was.

Speaker 4

Yeah, it was only like I think just one.

Speaker 3

Scene day because it was all in the house and.

The top and the bottom of the show.

Speaker 2

Lifts the baby up.

One thing, he sees joun, he sees the whole thing.

Yeah, yeah, you see all of the naked Yeah, and we were like, oh, I don't think you could.

Speaker 4

Do that anymore.

Speaker 2

After the kids sued for the Nirvanic cover, I think everyone's like, maybe we.

Speaker 4

Shouldn't do that.

Speaker 3

Yeah, we should have put.

Speaker 2

Yeah yeah, yeah word it out tilted the baby that way, you know.

Speaker 4

Just yeah, that became the.

Speaker 2

Running joke at the end of the show was was that baby tests let's get let's right, it's moving on for baby came the show.

Jeff, You're so glad that you do this with us.

It's wrong with these just like maybe I won't come back for season six, right.

Speaker 3

It's always it keeps me humble this show.

Speaker 1

We don't want to give you a big head or anything, so we'll keep you humble.

So let's start out with the best episode, in your opinion.

Speaker 3

The best I get to go first.

Speaker 2

Okay, well, anybody, anybody's jump jump right in.

Speaker 3

I think it's uh.

I would vote for Happy Birthday Babies Part.

Speaker 2

Two, Okay, trust Scott.

Speaker 5

The birthday scene with Jesse and Becky really funny, really funny.

Speaker 2

Yeah, the appendicitis in the.

Speaker 3

Yeah, I thought it was just perfect.

Speaker 5

And they it's such a milestone in the show and very sweet at the end, and Bob's really funny with his hospital gown the.

Speaker 2

Old ladies checking them out.

Speaker 5

Yeah, so it was uh, yeah, I just think it all around, it was.

Speaker 3

It had so many things going for it.

Speaker 2

That's a great that's I put that on my list too.

Speaker 1

I have two for my best episode, but Happy Baby, Happy Birthday Babies Part two.

Speaker 2

Is one of them.

Speaker 1

But the runner up for me is The Volunteer, which I think was the only like special, very special episode that we did in season five with like a message and a you know, it's just one of those special episodes.

So it was very moving and well portrayed by Whitman Mayo and just a great message about helping people even when it's hard to watch them decline.

Speaker 3

Yeah, I have another.

I have that one later on.

Speaker 2

Okay, what about you, Joes.

I actually also picked a Happy Birthday Babies Part two.

I just felt like it was peak full house.

Speaker 4

You know what I mean.

Speaker 2

There was there was babies being born, there was Jesse being Jesse, there was you know, the panic and chaos ensues.

It was like everything that you imagine a full house handling of the birth of twins to be and it wass yes.

Speaker 4

Yeah, don't forget that's right.

Speaker 2

Yeah, it's everything you'd want in a sitcom.

Danny's dressed up as the the as Barney or whatever, the precursor of or Dino Dino.

Speaker 4

That's right, the other Purple Dinosaur.

Speaker 2

Uh.

So funny, so funny, all right, so we all we all agreed on that.

Yeah, we all agreed on that one.

Well done.

It was also like I felt like, kind of in the well, I guess it was not really halfway through the season a little closest to now it was only the tenth episode, but I was praise this wasn't the season finale.

I mean, I know that would have been to drag out the pregnancy for So that's right.

Speaker 4

Sweeps, Yeah, yeah, sweeps make sense.

Speaker 5

Usually don't get the same big ratings is earlier in the year.

Speaker 2

Really Okay, so then that makes sense, that makes sense.

Speaker 3

And the calendar, you know, they got they got pregnant, and you.

Speaker 2

You know, yeah, that's because every week you gotta Skian.

Speaker 4

It's gotta be because.

Speaker 1

She was pregnant over the summer right on hiatus.

So yeah, that's right.

We had to very very good, very continuity there.

Speaker 2

Yes, well, full House is known for anything, you know, it's continuity is really at the foremost settlers.

Yeah, that's we're the gold standard.

Speaker 3

On summer when the when Nicky and Alex.

Speaker 1

Aged like yeah, yeah, yeah, hey, if sick, if soap operas.

Speaker 2

Can do it, the sitcoms can do it too.

What about the worst episode of season five?

What do you guys think about that?

I got I've got a lot, I've said, yeah, I have a few.

I had to pick one.

I felt I felt like, uh, Jeff's shaking his head alights.

Which have you go first?

What do you?

Speaker 4

I want to know your thoughts first?

Speaker 2

Me?

Yeah, you go first.

Speaker 5

I picked you know, worst is a is a tough word.

I would say least favorite.

Speaker 3

How here you go?

Speaker 2

There?

You yeah, yeah, you know, okay?

Speaker 5

I picked yours mind in ours because I felt like Jesse and Becky fighting about raising these kids who were when I was six seven months old.

I mean, they're just it's way too soon to be worrying about this kind of stuff.

It was the whole premise was kind of silly, and then the fantasy with the kids as teenagers.

Speaker 3

You know, we've done a lot of those already, and the.

Speaker 6

Pirate restaurant was just goofy and didn't really get us much, and I just thought it was just it wasn't Yeah, my least favorite.

Speaker 2

Okay, I can see that.

Speaker 3

Tough decision.

Speaker 2

Yeah, the Pirate.

Speaker 1

The pirate scene is definitely memorable because fans will bring that up a lot, so they love, they love the pirate storyline.

Speaker 2

Yeah, we're having my cousin who was the sneezer on the show at the beginning of the year.

Speaker 1

Next year, Oh yeah, the cousin, Yeah, who sneezed on Joey's plate of whatever pancakes or whatever.

Speaker 2

Spaghetti or whatever it was.

Speaker 3

Yeah.

Speaker 2

Yeah, who's now the CEO of the American Cancer Society.

So it's proof you can start on full house and never have a career in show business.

But he's really successful.

That's encouraging.

Yes, we ended a lot, Yeah, exactly.

I went with Five's a Crowd, which was the I just didn't I didn't love the date there was the day began where the guys show up and they're in the thing.

It just I didn't I didn't love the guy.

Speaker 4

He felt kind of.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I think in.

Speaker 1

The in the twenty twenty five lens that one was hard to watch, the date rape episode.

Speaker 2

Yeah that was right, right, yeah, yeah, the one where yeah, it just I don't know, it wasn't it.

Speaker 5

Was it wasn't a cool move for the guys to sneak into.

Speaker 2

The van, right it was.

Yeah, I was like, whoa, wow, there's a boundary there's all three of you, you know, like it just all of it, and and and yeah, I don't know, it felt it felt like.

Speaker 4

Almost I don't know.

Speaker 2

I feel like the un my uncomfortableness for DJ of like being in this really where it was like, you know.

Speaker 1

I think also now that we're moms with young daughters too, it's it's harder to watch that and not think of your own kids about like, oh my gosh, yeah, what why is DJ in this situation?

I can relate to the guys, but they're never blown past boundaries and never.

Speaker 4

Date anyone with a van.

Speaker 2

Never don't date anyone with a van with no windows.

Speaker 1

That's well, yeah, that's the lesson.

Yeah, I didn't pick any of those.

Speaker 2

That's interesting.

Why did you pay?

I?

Speaker 1

Well, I sort of had three, but I think I'm gonna narrow it down to one.

Too much monkey business.

I just like that's the monkey one.

I'm board with the monkey.

Speaker 3

Like.

Speaker 1

I know, it was popular in the ninety sitcoms to have monkeys friends, did it?

Speaker 2

Chimp?

Technically Chimp Monkey Tales?

Yeah, chimp.

Speaker 4

But I want to get tons of emails about.

Speaker 2

That, tens of emails about that.

Yeah, I just I don't know.

It didn't.

Speaker 1

I was like, is this where we jumped the shark?

Is this where we jumped the monkey?

Like that's that was just I don't know.

I just wasn't a fan of the monkey storyline.

Speaker 3

I don't know if it was the worst, but it was definitely the kinkiest.

Speaker 2

Episode with John and the and the Yeah, I was like, what's happening with it?

Speaker 1

It was, Yeah, it was really funny.

That one scene was super funny then John, Even for John, he couldn't stop laughing in that right.

Speaker 3

It was the monkey.

Speaker 2

Played it perfectly, really truly, kudos to the to the Jim for that one.

Was that the same monkey as the Friends monkey?

Do you know, Jeff, you don't know?

No, the the on Friends?

It was an actual like capuchin monkey, wasn't it like a little monkey on his shoulder?

So it was a capuchin monkey, like a little white one that had a tail.

This was like a like a chimp's black it was there was a black monkey, but I think you're right, it was a It was a monkey that sits on your shoulder and it had a tail, So it was a different monkey.

It wasn't this chim good pace, Uh my other two runner up runners up for Least Favorite.

Speaker 1

Uh just Captain Video Part two, just because I didn't feel like a season finale.

It felt like it should have been somewhere in the middle of the episode.

It was fine, a great episode as a standalone, but for a season finale, I was like, eh, didn't love it, and the other one was crushed with Tommy Page.

Speaker 2

I know everybody loves this episode.

Speaker 1

And I just thought watching it now, I was just like, this guy is a.

Speaker 2

Creepy Yeah, yeah, it is kind of It is kind of weird leading on this teenage girl.

He's got a girlfriend.

He's kissing DJ like it's right, dude.

Yeah, you know what now?

Yeah, I think I actually am changing my vote.

Speaker 3

All all the girls want a little kiss from Tommy Page.

You know, I figure he's just you know, that's the thing he does.

Speaker 2

It was dreamy in nineteen ninety two, I was, you know yeah, now, yeah, it's usually a pretty bad idea to go around kissing teenage girls that you don't know when you're a pop star, just just as a recommendation, guys don't do it right, do it?

Speaker 1

And in no offense to Tommy Page, he was a brilliant musician, but he just wasn't the strongest actor, so he couldn't really sell it in the way that it needed to be sold, right, So I think that sort of colored my opinion as well.

Speaker 4

I think I'm I actually, I'm going to agree with you on that one.

Speaker 2

I changed my vote.

Okay, you can do that, You're allowed to.

Uh what was what is it?

Next?

Speaker 3

Up?

Speaker 2

The saddest episode, saddest saddest was for me.

Speaker 4

Uh yeah, the volunteer.

Speaker 2

I picked the volunteer as well.

Speaker 3

I did not pick the volunteer, ok.

Speaker 5

I picked matchmaker Michelle because because she is now really feeling not.

Speaker 3

Having a mob.

Speaker 5

Oh yeah, that was you know, that sadness powered that whole episode.

Speaker 2

Yeah, this was a good point.

Speaker 5

The other one, you know, was a guest star that we didn't we met, and it was a lot of it was played for fun.

But yeah, yeah, I think we just felt you know, really you know Michelle, Yeah, you know, it was she's trying to she wants a mom.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Oh that's a good point.

Speaker 3

She has no memories of her real mom.

Speaker 2

Yeah, you know, so that's that's a good point.

Speaker 1

That's a very good point that that's a that's a sad it's a sad storyline.

But Jude Lockhart, Like, how did you get Jude Lockhart?

Like she's a powerhouse or she was.

Speaker 3

That was a personal thrill from Oh.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I loved it, loved it.

Speaker 1

Yeah, she's great, so cool, She's just she was a brilliant, brilliant actress.

But yeah, I picked the volunteer just like Jodie, just because yeah, it's just a sad Well, it wouldn't have with a lesser competent actor.

I don't think it would have had as much of an impact.

But because the actor was, he really sold it.

The dementia and the forgetting and the uncomfortableness of that.

Yeah, he really sold that well.

And it's I thought it was just a great, great.

Speaker 2

Episode, very sad.

So yeah, what about the funniest episode?

Do you have a funniest I picked.

Speaker 1

Got a Dance because it's so outlandish, like the dream sequences, danny'sences are so crazy, but it is I laughed so hard because the actors.

Speaker 2

Commit, like you guys commit to this bit and it's hysterical.

I could tell you having fun with it.

Oh yeah, the costumes were amazing.

Speaker 4

I have lived for those costumes.

Speaker 1

I just thought it was hysterical, those those dream sequences.

Speaker 2

So that's my pick.

Got a dance?

Uh, I picked Sisters in Crime where they sneak into the movie theater.

Oh yeah, because that one was a really fun sister episode, like Stephen Michelle were doing their thing like and DJ on the date and it just I really I thought.

Speaker 4

That one was funny.

I thought it was some good moments in that one.

Speaker 2

That was a fun one to film as well.

That was a great a great set and a great bit for us movie theaters.

So that's a good one.

What about you, Jeff, This.

Speaker 5

Is a repeat and I don't like to do that, but I did think the scene in uh, Happy Birthday Baby is Part two, the delivering those baby scene was really really funny.

Yeah, that was a laugh out loud scene for me.

Speaker 3

So I go with that.

Speaker 2

That's a good one.

Speaker 3

Your guys' choices were very good.

Those were all good choices.

Speaker 1

John being or Jesse being hyped up on morphine or whatever he was on and decided that was and him just being in labor with be scicle John.

Speaker 5

You know, he was playing and high, it was playing being excited.

Speaker 2

Yeah, it was great.

Speaker 3

He was playing the pain of his own surgery.

I mean it was all there and it was oh yeah, an all comedic.

Speaker 2

I just it was hilarious, it was great best moments.

I would say he really shined.

He really shined this whole season, did some great stuff.

Okay, the most memorable episode mm for.

Speaker 4

Me, that's the Happy Birthday Baby's Part two.

Speaker 2

Ye born, I thinks to Yeah, that's pretty.

Speaker 3

I agree with that, but this will be controversial.

Speaker 5

But for that, I do think as a runner up, Uh, Captain Video Part two, that music video, it's still something that everybody talks about.

Speaker 2

That's true, it is.

It is pretty memorable.

Speaker 4

You can't get.

Speaker 2

That from your head.

Speaker 3

It's yeah, it's it's a thing that you don't you don't forget.

Speaker 4

It's yeah, it is with you, that stays with you.

Speaker 2

Yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 1

We just watched that one last night and and reviewed it and uh yeah, that was just like what John John carries that whole episode, and it is so much funny.

Speaker 2

This is dancing.

He just he commits to physical comedy.

Speaker 3

Jess Man.

Stuff is really oh boy, hilarious and painful at the same time.

Speaker 4

Yes, hilariously painful.

Yeah, it's right.

Speaker 2

It's one of those things that you're laughing and crying but you're not sure, which is more absolutely absolutely but again very full house were we knew what we knew, what we did, we did silly and we did it great.

Yes, absolutely absolutely?

What was what we got next?

Speaker 5

Oh?

Speaker 2

Most forgettable episode?

Uh oh ah?

Speaker 1

I I put down I put to I put the Happy Birthday Babies Part one because it was a clip show and it's like, right, nothing really happened in that one.

But I also picked where or Where has my Little Girl Gone?

Where Jesse and Joey get locked in the recording studio, which is funny, but again nothing much happens, and Danny violates DJ's privacy by reading Kathy Santoni's note.

Oh that's right, the mega crisis.

So I don't know, I just it was fine.

It wasn't a bad episode.

It was just it's kind of forgettable.

I had to I had to go back and look like, what is what else happens in this?

Speaker 2

So yeah, that's all uh mine was.

Speaker 4

I was kind of torn between two.

Speaker 2

The the trouble with Danny kind of was like a felt with the cleaning and the thing, and yeah that it just sort of felt like It almost felt weird that Danny was that the one where we were like, wait, Danny wouldn't have.

Speaker 4

Reacted that way or something.

Speaker 2

I don't know.

I feel like we had a discussion about that, you and I, but.

Speaker 1

It was it was just very excessive they brought, They brought his cleaning obsession to a whole new level.

Speaker 2

At this point, we should probably take him to see someone to discuss the O c D and what anxiety issues he's dealing.

Speaker 4

With, because it's apparent, its very apparent.

Speaker 2

But yeah, that was mine was uh was the was that one?

And also the where was the other one?

Speaker 4

The uh?

Oh take my sister?

Speaker 2

Please with where Danny and Joey or lusting after the birth instructor and they you know, but anyway valid, those are valid.

I can see that.

What about what about you?

Jeff?

Speaker 3

Uh?

Mine was a tie between yours, mine and ours?

Speaker 5

Yeah, I just thought it was an episode that didn't none of it was important.

Speaker 3

It all just sort of just flew by and was done.

And the other one was.

Speaker 5

Probably in second place was for me was Girls Will Be Boys, which is which was really just Michelle's friends are you know, decide they don't like girls?

And she tries to be a boy and then everything works out great, and it just didn't.

Speaker 3

Seem to be very you know it was.

Yeah, yeah, not really that much.

Speaker 2

I can see that.

Speaker 1

I can see that too.

With twenty six episodes, you're bound to forget several.

Speaker 2

Of themis forgotten most of them by this point.

This is a good one weirdest episode.

I have two very strong opinions about this.

Speaker 3

Yeah, as much as I love Elvis, have to pick the King and I for that.

Speaker 2

Oh okay, I didn't pick that one because.

Speaker 5

The herd scene is in a diner with some basically Elvis impersonator that we don't know who.

We're supposed to think is this magical, you know, creature, but it really isn't.

Speaker 2

I just thought maybe Jesse was having some sort of a psychotic break and that guy wasn't even there, you know, And then yeah, yeah, I can see that.

Speaker 1

I don't know why that one didn't bother me as much for some reason, because the message is good about putting your family first and not just being so obsessed about work and writing your songs.

But yeah, I guess when you think about it, when you say it that way, Yeah, Jesse's talking to either a ghost or an impersonator at all, right, either way.

Speaker 2

Either way, that was silly Joeson mine.

The weirdest episode I had the too much monkey business, Okay it was it was, Uh, it felt very strange that this one was like, hey, can you watch my chimp?

Like I just you know, like kind of like knowing her brother.

And I also was like, Danny would never allow a chimp to stay overnight, and nor would you.

Speaker 4

It just all felt very strange.

Speaker 2

And the fact that it seemed like Joey like sort of I don't know, it just felt very quick that he jumped from like it didn't feel.

Speaker 4

Like there was like an established sort of relationship.

Speaker 2

I don't know.

It just felt very strange when he went from like, oh, we don't like each other to like, oh my god, actually I really like her.

It felt like that might've happened at some point way earlier over the years.

Yeah, I can see that.

Speaker 1

I can see that, joe I do think it would have been a good match.

Wendy was a good match for Joey.

I think I think they had I think they had chemistry.

He could if he married her, he would have been a real Uncle Joey.

Speaker 2

So that's true.

That's a that's a part.

I just yeah, I.

Speaker 1

Feel bad that Joey never got a great love interest in the series.

Speaker 2

Poor you got mister Woodchuck.

It's hard to I can't replace him, you know, he's literally glued to him.

Yeah.

I picked I.

Speaker 1

Picked two weirdest episodes one yours mine and ours because of the aforementioned teenage dream sequence and the pirate restaurant.

Funny stuff, but just bizarrely so yeah, yeah, uh and then I picked the Devil made me do it with the good Michelle, Bad Michelle while she's playing with Jesse's music equipment.

Speaker 4

Oh, that's right, I forgot that one.

Speaker 1

I'm just I get I think the only reason to do this is so you can get both ols.

Speaker 2

And twins on screen at the same time, and they were very popular at the time.

So but other than that, I'm just like that.

That was a big episode for Mary, Kate and Ashley to carry too.

Speaker 1

I thought it was, you know, it was a lot for them yet so yeah, that was Michelle's going to be.

Speaker 2

I don't know, I forgot about the good Michelle the bad Michelle.

It.

You know, they did very well.

Speaker 1

The Olsens did very very well, but yeah, just it's kind of strange, that's all.

Speaker 3

That's a pretty this season though.

Speaker 2

Yeah, they did.

Yeah, they were cute.

Speaker 1

They definitely came into their own and became actresses this season.

They they were they got it.

They finally got like the delivery and kind of understood what they were saying more.

So, Yeah, it's been fun to watch them grow.

Speaker 2

All right.

Next, we have some of our our fan uh categories that they have come up with that we've been we've been doing, and we have a new we do have a new one at the end of them.

But first off, we're going to do the episode with the worst behavior by Jesse.

I feel like I'm going with the King and I on that one because he like throws the tantrum and leaves and goes to the woods and.

Speaker 4

It's a hole.

Speaker 2

Then you're like Jesse stuff.

Yeah, yeah, I concur with that.

Speaker 4

Yeah, he was being a bit of a drama queen.

Speaker 2

When isn't he?

Speaker 1

I picked Nikki and or Alexander because he refuses to let his twins wear the booties because they're they're too girly or they're too you know, So he takes off their booties and mixes up the boys that come on Jessie, like, just let them wear the booties.

Speaker 2

It's not that bad.

So that's what I pick.

Speaker 4

Now, wait you go next?

Speaker 2

Sorry, never mind you who me?

Speaker 1

I just went, oh, okay, Nicky and or Alex, that was my worst behavior by Jesse Jeff?

Speaker 3

What was I'm looking to see?

Speaker 2

Where?

Speaker 3

Oh?

That one?

Okay?

Yeah?

Yeah yeah, I agree with that.

Speaker 2

Uh.

And we also have another really great category, which is Bob's Best Episode.

I love this category, the great category.

What did you have?

Speaker 1

I picked Driving Miss Dje because it's so Danny Tanner.

Speaker 2

I got used pick a heart scene for Bob's Best episode because he's so good at the heart scenes.

Speaker 1

But when he's just neurotic about DJ's driving, like, it's so relatable.

Speaker 2

Yes, And I just love.

Speaker 1

It because he's he's peak Danny Tanner and Bob is just so good at that.

Speaker 2

He's just he really delivered in that episode.

I thought it was great, really fun.

Speaker 3

Yeah.

Speaker 5

And in the second place I would I would probably go with Bachelor.

Speaker 3

Of the Month.

Speaker 2

That was my other pick.

Speaker 5

Really funny in that one, you know when he gets to you know, pretend he's a stud or feel good about his you know, how them.

Speaker 2

Women all love him, right, That is so funny.

Yeah, He's like, well, I've never felt this way before.

This is amazing.

Yeah, those were those were my two picks.

Was trouble with Danny and driving Miss DJ.

I thought they both.

Yeah, he was just so Bob and so Danny, like, you know, nervous dad, awkward dude.

Yeah.

Yeah, that was a great one.

Good picks, good picks, Yes, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 1

Next up, episode with the best message for kids.

Speaker 5

I picked the volunteer for this one because, you know, besides the the upfront, you know, beginnings of Alzheimer's kind of stuff, which isn't really necessarily for kids, but you know the fact that that a kid is kids are learning the value of charity, work, of helping others, of doing something unselfish is a really important.

A lot of our messages are you know, kind of you would expect them, and this one was, I think a little more unexpected, like, yeah, you know, gratitude for what you have, and you know out there is appreciating you know.

Speaker 3

What you have.

Speaker 2

I love that.

Speaker 1

I love it, especially after recently having teenagers who are now adults technically, but it's so true.

Speaker 2

They don't want to do anything.

Teenagers don't want to do anything today.

Speaker 1

It's important that you got to give back.

You have to give to others who are in need.

Speaker 2

That is, we.

Speaker 3

Know, that's an important message to learn early on.

Speaker 2

So yeah, I thought it was.

Speaker 4

I picked the volunteer as well for the best message.

Speaker 2

But I I really liked also that it made you know, it made the point of, like you sometimes you don't know what's going on with other people, so like, don't be mean you know you.

Speaker 4

Like DJ was kind of like is he ever pediums?

He doesn't know what you know?

Speaker 2

Like, and that's a very teenage thing to do, like what's wrong with you?

Speaker 1

You know?

Speaker 2

And I think it was a good message to be like, hey, before you know, you think something, you know, like you judge them, make sure you know what's going on and that they might need help, and standing in compassion instead.

So I thought it was that was really the message of that show was was compassion.

Speaker 1

Such a such a important such a such an important episode.

Yeah, that was my pick too.

Were unanimous in that cast.

Speaker 3

Yeah, and Whitman was great.

Speaker 2

Oh it was great.

Speaker 1

Oh my gosh, I was standing he just he nailed it so good.

And last but not yet.

Our new category here.

New category is most relatable episode for viewers.

Speaker 3

M I don't that was.

Speaker 5

There's a lot to choose from there because we try to do stories that everybody can relate to.

Speaker 2

Yeah, but.

Speaker 3

For me, it was where where has my little Girl Gone?

Speaker 5

Because it's about that moment where your teenage daughter stops trusting you, confighting in you, who has secrets from you, doesn't want you to know what's going on in their life.

You know, every parent has that, has that moment.

It's really hard.

Yeah, you know we had you know, there was something in that episode for kids, but also a really strong, you know, adult relatable theme.

Speaker 2

I thought, that's true.

Speaker 1

Yeah, that's a really that's a really good point because when they're yeah, little, as little girls, you look up to your dad, you worship your dad, and he's the main male in your life.

Speaker 2

And then that changes.

It's like, oh my god, you stop breathing.

Yeah, he walked a little farther away from me.

Right, very true, very true.

What was your pick?

Speaker 1

I picked the Mine's personal.

I picked driving Miss DJ because I am Danny Tanner.

I am Danny Tanner trying to teach my kids how to drive.

Speaker 2

I am neurotic.

Speaker 1

I am the worst person to teach kids to drive.

I am a nervous driver, a nervous passenger.

And yeah I related to every one of Danny's moments in that episode.

Speaker 2

Yes, that one that was very relatable.

But I have to I chose episode one Double Trouble, because, uh, it's when Jesse and Becky all of a sudden realize they're.

Speaker 4

Having twins and.

Speaker 2

Are completely overwhelmed and are like, what are we doing?

Oh my god, this is you know, and sort of that feeling of like this is real, this is this is happening.

We're doing this and this is and there's two and there you know.

And then also, you know, Michelle being nervous about kindergarten.

I thought that was super relatable to kids about you know, being nervous either starting school, starting a new school, you know, whatever it is that Michelle was a little shy about that one, but that one just felt like we really kicked it off with some very you know, uh, family concerns, Yeah, parenting in fear of being a good parent, all that.

And then you know Shell with her nervousness about school and friends and all that.

Speaker 1

Yeah, even if you're not pregnant with twins, there's still that moment of realization where you're just like, oh crap, I am responsible for another life, and that is very sobering.

Speaker 4

So yeah, yeah, I still have that thought often.

Speaker 2

So that's what we got.

Speaker 4

That's what that was our rankings for season five.

Speaker 3

Categories.

Speaker 2

I love it.

Let's get more.

We want more, we want more, fan catastos, give us some, give us some new categories for uh for season six, I have a suggestion.

I have a suggestion that's very like selfish.

Speaker 1

Okay, how about the best Kimmi moment and best Stephanie moment or the best Kimmy Stephanie moment.

Oh okay pick since this is our podcast.

Speaker 2

Also that's true we should be ourselves, yes, because we don't do that enough.

But I uh, I like that.

I do like that because and I think season six, there's definitely some really good Steph Kimmi moment that start happening.

You become the frenemies.

It started in season five.

Yes, we're wickering all the time.

Yeah, it's good.

Our bits, our bits are getting better.

Yeah, bits are getting better.

So yeah, I imagine I like that the best best Steph moment, best Kimmy moment or best Steph Kimmy moment.

You take your pick, So yeah, I like that one.

But yeah, always always love the fans suggestions.

This is so fun.

I love getting your thoughts.

Yes, and I know the fans do too.

The fans love these episodes with you on them and hearing what you think of Yeah, god, yes, they really do.

They love hearing what you thought about a particular episode, or why you liked one, or why you were like at that just didn't fit with us, or you know, I mean, you know.

Speaker 5

We always we were always hopeful, you know, we wanted everyone.

Speaker 3

To be brilliant.

Speaker 5

Yeah, you know, it's uh once you get into you know, you've got ten shows going on at once, and you're writing and you're rewriting, and your editor and you're prepping, and you're fighting over money and how are we going to pay for this?

It's just a lot going on and sometimes yeah, you know, you look back and go, oh, yeah, it seems like a good idea at the time, and.

Speaker 2

Then you throw a chimp in the mix and both expensive and not.

Speaker 3

An animal show.

Speaker 2

Yes, true, we haven't had any any weird animals show up in the Tanner household.

Speaker 1

Yeah, no, no, I love hearing your thoughts and what was going on in your brain at the time you shot these episodes.
