Speaker 2I know it's new, it is a new era.
It's a it's a new era.
Speaker 1But I really thought Stephen Michelle had redecorated their room by now.
Speaker 2I did not realize it was Lauren.
Speaker 1That red eighties geometric pattern was hanging on.
Speaker 2Oh it looks seared brand.
It's not so tired.
Speaker 3It's not great.
Speaker 2Yeah.
I looked at it.
I was like, damn, we still haven't that.
Yeah, okay, And I noticed a lot of the stuffed animals from the bay window are missing from that little reading.
Speaker 3You know, she's getting older, she's throwing them away.
Speaker 2You're down to mister bear.
And then Michelle.
Speaker 3Doesn't get the really important one.
Speaker 2Yeah, Michelle has her pig, which makes an appearance.
Speaker 3Is for very long.
Speaker 2No, because she gives that.
She gives the pig, oh yeah, in this episode, but doesn't she give then.
Speaker 3To get the joke to Jesse Jesse already.
Speaker 1Yeah, wait didn't She was no, that was what she was going to give him when he was moving out.
And then she was like, we'll send you a moving I'm taking the pig back.
Speaker 2Oh is this?
Speaker 1It's the moving big When anyone is moving, the pig gets handed off with them as some sort of a strange stuffed animal sacrifice.
Speaker 2As his as his tradition in San Francis sacrifice.
Speaker 1Yes, you give someone a stuffed pig when they're moving if you don't get terrible luck.
Speaker 2You know, it's part of Jesse's weird heritage where you walk around the table to get this is intertreet sacrificer.
Speaker 3Wouldn't get it.
Speaker 1Yeah, No, it's a yeah.
Speaker 2This is a weird family.
Speaker 3Oh boy, for sure.
Speaker 2Uh well, speaking of weird family, shall we get into it?
I know, we'll just put this short.
We've got we've got things to do today, so I've.
Speaker 1Got nothing to do and I need to get to it.
Speaker 2We want to get to it, so we're just gonna jump right in.
Let me know, you back from doing nothing right, Yeah, welcome back to How Rude Tanarritos.
I'm Andrea Barber and I'm Jody Sweeten, and today we're discussing season six, episode two, The Long Goodbye.
It originally aired September twenty ninth, nineteen ninety two, and it goes a little something like this, Danny agonizes over the failure of his long distance relationship with Vicky.
Michelle ties up Teddy to keep him from moving away.
Call it a failure.
They're just a failure.
It's they're having the trouble Waters.
It's about right.
They miss each other.
There's really nothing wrong except they miss each other.
Right, So much ado about nothing as usual.
This was directed by Jeff Franklin.
Wow, Joel got the day off off.
It was written by Jeff Franklin.
And we have a whole host of guest stars.
We have Taj Mowry returning as Teddy.
Speaker 3He's so damn cute.
Speaker 2Oh my god, he's a door.
He's like a little living doll.
He's so just so cute.
We have Gail Edwards returning as Vicky Larson Blake Toomy will Hoyt as Nicky Dylan Toomey will Hoight as Alex Journey.
Speaker 1They stuck to that.
Blake always had to be Nicky and Dylan always had to be Alex.
Speaker 2Oh for sure, No, No, I doubt it.
Speaker 1Yeah, Like, what if they credited them with the wrong characters, they should sue.
Speaker 2They should sue us for the wrong characterization.
I don't know.
I was wondering if they kept the double names, if there's still Toomey Will Hoyight, or if they just cut off the mom's made a name and now there's Will Hoyte.
I don't know.
It's a good question if we can ever get them.
Guys answer our emails.
We watched it on the show, so Dylan, we want to know, yes, y a question.
Speaker 3Yes.
Speaker 2Then there's Journey Smollett returning as Denise Fraser yay.
And last, but certainly not least, we have Karen Maru Yama.
I think that's how you say it as missus knots.
You might recognize her.
She appeared in the nineteen ninety film The American President starring Michael Douglas in Anette Benning rest in peace to Rob Reiner, who directed that pilm.
And She also appeared on two episodes of Shameless, three episodes of Arrested Development, three episodes of The Ghost Whisperer, eleven episodes of The Jamie Fox Show, and six episodes of Suddenly Susan.
That's just a highlight of her.
She once again was one of those actors that appeared in every thing, and she still is too good for you.
Karen get it's fantastic and she's so good as this first grade teacher love it.
Yeah, So we start with the teaser in the living room.
Joey is blowing bubbles for the twins and they're staring at them in amusement.
Speaker 1Now we've got baby teasers again, baby different.
Speaker 2Batt Pattie babies.
And this is like, oh my gosh, these boys, these boys, and they're bubba bubba.
There's vibe.
Speaker 3I remember that.
Speaker 2I know, yeah, ba ba ba ba ba.
They were very vocal, Like I remember them all.
You can always kind of hear him in the background of the scenes.
They're like, they're very vocal.
Then Michelle comes walking in.
She asks Joey what he's doing, and he shows her how much the twins love bubbles.
And why does Michelle look like a teenager?
Like she is so tall in this teaser and looks so much older.
I don't know if it's just because the little boys are there or what, but she looks decidedly older to me.
Speaker 3Well, you know, Dave's sitting down right, Is that okay?
Speaker 2I thought I thought she.
Speaker 3Just suddenly became six foot tall.
Speaker 2She just seems older to me.
Speaker 5I'm still.
Speaker 1It's season six, Michelle, we've had several months in between.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, everybody looks older, Like everybody looks older in a good way, but yeah, it's older.
Speaker 3And I just looked tanner.
You're so tuan.
Speaker 1I wrote that I would have always John because I tanned really easy, and John and I would come back and because I we had to pull the background a fish constantly out there, and I would come back and they were like, oh, been laying out in San Francisco.
I see, yeah, it's so obvious.
Speaker 2Like I'm like, dang, she's still that tan.
We're an episode two.
Speaker 1They were like, you need to stay out of the sun because you're turning different colors from seeing the scene.
Speaker 2Crazy, your hair's extra blonde, your sixt tan.
I just yeah, just a southern California kid.
Oh yeah, completely, it's amazing.
Speaker 3I love it.
Speaker 2So Michelle rolls her eyes, Well that's because they're still babies, and Joey wonders, oh, so you don't play with bubbles anymore.
Michelle boasts, I'm too old for that.
So Joey tries to get her to break the facade by blowing a giant bubble in her face, but Michelle acts like she's not interested, so then he pulls out the big guns, the Bubble Master.
This gadget whirls out a bunch of bubbles, and Nicky and Alex are completely fascinated with it.
Michelle puts up a front at first, but then she finally yells, I can't take it anymore, and she pops all of the bubbles surrounding her while the plint the plints, while the twins play along too.
Speaker 1Oh, bubbles, back when it was easy, I even entertained.
Speaker 2So sweet, like that's all the better bubbles and the hours of entertainment hours.
Speaker 1So I have video of one of the first times that Zoe ever cussed.
Speaker 2Hmm, this is amazing.
Speaker 1She was in the background popping bubbles and I was getting video.
But it was adorable until she started going.
Every time she'd miss one, she'd say and she got and she got it, and I was like, wait are you?
Speaker 3And yeah she was.
Speaker 2She is your daughter.
She is your daughter.
Speaker 3Absolutely yeah.
I don't even remember how old she was.
Speaker 2Again, two and half enough, like enamored with bubbles, so it's only she's a teenager queen.
Speaker 3She might have been I don't know age.
Limit to bubbles.
Speaker 2She's so your daughter.
Speaker 3Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 2H we're starting off.
Okay, this is how we're starting off.
Wow, Okay, here we go.
Oh a hot flash.
Hey it's Danielle Fischle.
Speaker 6But to ninety percent of the pop culture stratosphere, I am forever to Panga Lawrence, a character I played from the ages twelve to nineteen on the nineties family sitcom Boy Meets World.
From my first kiss to my first haircut, absolutely everything was caught on camera.
So now thirty years later, it's time to turn the tables.
For my new podcast, teen Beat with Danielle Fischell, I'll be sitting down with other celebrities to unearth the details of their untelevised upbringings.
Speaker 2I'm asking guests.
Speaker 6To open their childhood diaries and reveal embarrassing fashion choices, school crushes, dramatic friend fallouts, using our nostalgic and awkward pasts as a roadmap to understand who we are today.
Speaker 2I gave you my childhood.
Speaker 6It's time I hear yours.
Listen to teen Beat with Danielle Fischl on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2All right, moving right along, next, we're in the kitchen.
The room is packed for breakfast.
There are so many people in this puncheon.
Speaker 1It's the roll call of the morning.
Yeah, someone's clocking in.
Speaker 2For I know.
It's like good grief people.
So everyone's there except Michelle, and Joey calls out to her, telling her that her food is getting cold, but she yells back she's busy.
Joey tells her the fat on your bacon is getting congealed and your waffle's gonna taste like the roofing tile.
In response, Steph gives him a disgusted look and says, well that should get her running.
Stephanie and her digs, I love it.
Meanwhile, Danny has a portable TV.
Oh, oh my god.
Speaker 3This was it was like what is that contract night?
Two antennas going great.
Speaker 1Well, you couldn't even really have the antenna fully extended as you would need them to because they would be in everybody shot, so they're kind of short.
But like when you really had those, it was like two four foot long metal things going off in either direction.
Speaker 2Yeah, practically a satellite.
It's this is such a relic, like I have not seen this since name my god.
Speaker 1It had a handle, and it was the height of technology, my friend.
When you travel and still watch uh you know a grainy uh football game that Harely came through.
Speaker 2It was crainy.
Speaker 3People were like, Dan, look at you though, Yeah.
Speaker 2A flex man, that's the show in your wealth.
Man, if you have TV with a handle.
Speaker 1Yeah, so just a boom box on one shoulder and a portable TV on the other with a cam quarter strapped to your chest.
I mean that would be a pretty significant weight though.
It would be at least eighty pounds.
Speaker 2That is such a dance.
That is Danny Tanner Like, I can see Danny Tanner right doing that exactly.
Speaker 1And you've got to figure out how to hook the cam quarter up to the portable TV so you can replay what you just watch.
Speaker 2Oh that wow, that's I don't think that tchnology.
Speaker 1I don't know that they that's asking a lot.
Speaker 2That's that's asking a little too much.
For now, we'll just we'll watch this TV on the tann breakfast table.
And he's doing all of this so he can catch Vicky's news report and he reveals it this is the first time he's seen her in over a month.
Speaker 3Oh my god, just we just have to be patient.
Speaker 2Damn it.
Speaker 1You couldn't just face time somebody or call them or see them all the time on their social like.
Speaker 3You were like, oh my gosh, I haven't seen you.
Speaker 1You can text them every day, you can write letters, letters, call on the landline.
Speaker 3Email, may maybe leave a.
Speaker 2Message if maybe they weren't home, yeah, if they had an answering machine.
If not, well you're out.
Speaker 3Yeah, I gotta try it again.
Speaker 2This wild?
Wow?
What these were just ancient ancient times.
Speaker 3Ancient times.
Speaker 2Yeah, So dj jokingly asks if he needs some time alone to snuggle up to the TV, and Danny size, don't think I haven't thought about that.
Speaker 1That TV could practically be big spoon it can, you know?
Bob things huge, so big, wrap its little antenna right around us.
Speaker 2So Danny tells Joey that a man in a long distance relationship can get pretty desperate.
So Joey offers, maybe we can double date with my VCR.
This is so pathetic, Like this is so ancient empathetic, Come on boy.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2Meanwhile, Jesse has made a special blend for the twins' breakfast this morning, oatmeal and purade prunes.
Yum.
He claims that his Grandpa Catsopolis used to swear by it.
I never gave my kids prunes like ever did you?
Was that a standard thing?
You fed you a standard?
Speaker 1But it was definitely a thing when it was like I think your tummy hurts, he needs yeah yeah, yeah, Well it.
Speaker 3Wasn't a like go to.
It was like go to and it was like.
Speaker 1A we need to solve this problem, which is why I think Grandpa Pensopolis used to swear by it.
Speaker 2Oh.
Speaker 1The implication is that Grandpa needs have a little slow digestion and and he needed, yeah, need a little prunage.
Speaker 2Oh a pronage.
Yeah, prunage will get the job done, no doubt.
Speaker 3I told you and Grandpa's I told you.
Speaker 2I did a California prunes commercial when I was a kid and I had to like eat well, I had a spit bucket, but still I was so traumatized from having to eat so many prunes and then spit them out for this commercial that I was like, never again, I've never had a prune since there's no.
Speaker 3Me and fried Trimp, oh yeah, from the sizzler Get You, Get You.
Speaker 1I did not want to smell fried Trimp for a very long time and a spit bucket, a spit bucket.
Speaker 2Of fried trip that smells under hot lights.
Speaker 1Ooh delicious, I'm just cooking that greased fried shrimp.
Speaker 3Whole stage smelled like it.
Speaker 2Yeah, we're definitely scarred as child actors.
Anyway, Jesse hands this prune gloop over to the twins and they try picking it up with their spoons.
The camera shows Jesse as he encourages them to eat it, but then the oatmeal goes splattering all over his face.
It's a funny take.
Speaker 3Do you remember this on the Gagriel?
Speaker 1No, all these misshots the person off camera throwing stuff at John's face.
Speaker 2It looks seamless, but you're like, but there was a lot of taps someone.
Speaker 1There's a prop guy off the side just flinging stuff at John trying to make it and.
Speaker 2Yeah, boy, that must have been a fun week for wardrobe having how many Yeah it does?
It gets in his hair too, so he tries to look at the bright side.
At least they missed his new shirt, but on cue they fling more oatmeal toward him and it lands directly onto the white shirt.
Becky unhooks one of the boys bibs and fastens it around Jesse's neck to fix the problem.
The bib says I love my daddy and there's a cartoon frog on it.
The audience loves this bit.
Then Danny shouts out to his family as he eagerly watches the TV.
He tells them this is it.
She's finishing her report and she's gonna flash me our secret.
Hello.
The entire family gathers around to see this secret signal, and when Vicky signs off, she touches a finger to her forehead.
Danny loses his mind.
He shouts that was it, That was it.
Everyone glances at him with concern as he emphasizes she scratched her eyebrow.
Joey pats his face with a towel and says, boy, was it good for you, Danny?
Danny responds, as good as it gets that.
Speaker 3I actually laughed out loud at that.
Speaker 2I was like, that's very funny, that's very funny.
It is just this is so deep.
Speaker 1Again, the grandpa could stopple this joke, and this joke were.
Speaker 2Were the geared towards like the adults who are.
Speaker 3Like, oh I get back, why that's actually funny?
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, see this was very well Jeff did well.
He wrote and directed this, like he the joke's on point so far.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2So, then Joey grabs the little portable TV from Danny and yells out to Michelle once again, how many times do I have to tell you to get down here?
Jesse lends him a little advice.
If you want a kid to listen, you don't ask, you give orders, watch and learn.
He grabs Joey by his nostrils and pulls him aside out.
Speaker 1This is when John's started doing that to Dave, and I hated it.
Speaker 3I was like, yeah, I hated it.
Speaker 2I'm sure Dave hated it.
It looks painful.
I'm sure it is painful, and it's not even funny.
It's like smack him on the back of the head.
Sure, that was funny, But the nostril thing, I never liked it either.
Speaker 3First of all, I'd never see him wipe his hands afterwards.
And that's you.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1He's putting his hand up someone else's nose.
Oh god, you can't pick your friend's nose.
Where'd that go?
Speaker 2Right?
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1Right?
Speaker 2Yeah, come on, Jesse.
So Jesse proceeds to shout Michelle, you get your tiny little toush down here right now, and to his surprise, she responds with the same message she gave Joey, I'm busy.
Jesse doesn't fight her on it, and Joey sarcastically says, oh, I love learning from a master.
So true.
Speaker 1You're like, no, I know what to do, kids, I've got this, And then it doesn't, don't.
Speaker 2You are quickly humbled.
Then Steven Kimmy walk in.
Stephanie exclaims, DJ, your boyfriend's here, and then she takes a look at Kimmy and rudely comments, look what he dragged in.
Kimmy shrugs her off in beams as she glances around the table.
Look at all these happy people sitting down to breakfast together.
You guys have family values coming out the wazoo.
Danny sarcastically responds, so nicely, put Kimmy, ste.
Speaker 1You're wearing your your opening credits outfit.
Speaker 2This must have been the week we did right.
Speaker 3Yeah, yes, it was weak too.
That sounds about right.
Speaker 2It's always weak.
Two and two.
Speaker 3We were probably shooting, Yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, we're shooting the opening titles.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2No, Michael, I met Michael was in the room when I was watching this, and he was like, that's a terrible shirt.
And I was like, I wore this for my opening title.
Why do you mean it's a terrible shirt, Michael, I guess want to comment about the whole episode.
That's a terrible shirt.
Speaker 3Rude, how crowd?
Speaker 2Yes, thank you and Michaly, this little striped shirt was tame compared to what comes later, So that was awful.
He has He has no clue, clu He doesn't watch the shirt.
Speaker 3What's coming up?
Speaker 2No clue, He just jumps in mid sea.
No, no, no, just wait, just wait.
So Steve takes a big bite of the big bite out of the waffle and comments brutal, this waffle tastes like a roofing tile.
However, he continues to eat it without hesitation.
Danny is a little concerned when he realizes that this isn't a deal breaker for him regardless.
He comments, I'm starting to see a trend here, Steve.
Do I have to assume I'm going to be seeing you on a daily basis?
Kimmy answers for him, Yeah, as long as DJ can keep her hooks in him.
At that comment, DJ stuffs a waffle in Kimmy's mouth and tells the rest of the family that they have to go.
Before heading out, Steve grabs a couple more waffles, some bacon, and the milk Curden.
Speaker 1Scott's little moment with that was funny, I was cute.
Speaker 2It's funny.
Danny notes, maybe we should just put in a drive through window.
Speaker 3So funny, card's big enough.
Speaker 2He probably could?
They rely, they could, really, this could be another of income for them.
Is by pretty sure to drive through window?
Speaker 3Why did we do that?
Speaker 2So the phone rings, Danny answers it with a huge smile.
Hey, Vicky, of course I saw the signal.
Who knew one little scratch could mean so much?
Huh.
Just as Joey's about to dig into his own waffle, there's a knock at the door.
He answers it to find Teddy all dressed up and ready for school with his little suspender's on.
Speaker 3So too cute.
Speaker 2Joey asks him what's new in the first grade, and Teddy huffs everything, Such a good line.
I love the line.
The delivery is amazing.
Joey leads him inside and sternly yells out to Michelle once more, you get down here right now.
But he's met with another response of I'm busy.
He adds Teddy's here, and she immediately responds, I'm coming.
Michelle rushes downstairs to greet her friend and asks him, what did you bring for lunch today?
Teddy has a peanut butter sandwich and coincidentally, Michelle has a jelly sandwich, so he has the genius idea to smush them together once they get to school.
The two of them shout in unison, oh right, before doing a secret little handshake.
Speaker 1It seems odd that someone would make only a peanut butter and only a jelly sandwich.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's the jokes, got work.
The jokes gotta work.
This is one of those the jokes gotta work because it does not make sense in real life.
Speaker 1I also see why Michelle was so busy.
I mean, my god, doing her hair like that, it does.
Speaker 2It takes time.
There's hairspray and hurlers involved.
Speaker 1You know.
Speaker 2This was when they wouldn't stop putting her hair in the little petal whatever the topknot thing.
Yes right, it's teased within an inch of its life.
There is a lot of product in there.
She's been busy, no wonder, Yes, so Joey asked Teddy if you'd like to go to Happy Mountain with them on Saturday, because apparently that's when the Wonder Flume opens.
Teddy's eyes widen at the offer, but that vanishes in an instant when he reveals, sorry, I can't.
Michelle asks why, and he tells her it's a secret.
Then Joey tells them it's time to head to school.
He hands Michelle a banana for breakfast on the go before heading toward the door, but Michelle doesn't drop the conversation with Teddy.
She pleads, you gotta tell me your secret.
I'll give you my banana.
Joey reminds her that she needs to respect Teddy's wishes to keep it private.
Michelle insists that she does respect it, but as soon as Teddy walks out the door, she follows behind, begging, please please tell me your secret.
Ah.
And this is I looked up.
This is Toaj's last episode of season six.
He'll be back at the end of season seven and then season eight as well.
Okay, I don't know if Taj was the off doing smart guy like he wasn't available, so they're like, let's write him.
Speaker 3Off for it.
Speaker 2Yeah, very curious.
Next, in the living room, excuse me, Becky is playing with the twins and asking them to point to the baby doll's belly button.
They successfully show her and she praises them before saying she has to head to work.
She asks Jesse to come downstairs before she heads out, and Jesse grins at his boys, telling them I'm so proud of you.
You're having a great hair day, and he tossles their hair.
He reminds Becky that they will not be cutting their hair.
Then he notices the doll.
He calls the twins Goober and Gomer before asking what they're doing with a doll.
Becky tells, here we go again.
Let's just like the babies with the booties.
Like he's gonna you're gonna make a big deal out of this.
Becky tells them it was a It tells him it was a gift from Michelle.
It's baby love button.
Jesse sarcastically tells her how cute that is, before snatching the ball the doll away from the babies.
Jesse, He's just like, it's like focus, there's nothing else to focus on.
Jesse, Like, come on, dude, don't.
Speaker 3Get another record.
Speaker 2Deal song.
Yeah, so Becky questions him, you don't have some prehistoric idea that the boys shouldn't play with dolls?
Do you?
Here we go again, Jesse tries Becky though, you'll go Becky.
Thank god for Becky.
Thank god she's pushing back, you know, yes, his life.
Speaker 3Yeah, Jesse needs Becky.
Speaker 2He was so progressive for the nineties.
I love her.
So Jesse tries to pretend like this is not the case.
In fact, he claims that he's worried the doll with the braided ponytail and Rosie cheeks is dangerous.
Becky's not having it, so he reluctantly gives the doll back to the boys.
Then Danny rushes downstairs and Becky notices he changed his entire outfit.
Janny frantically explains that Vicki called and she's coming into town for three whole days.
Naturally, that forced him to overthink his entire outfit.
He asks Jesse and Becky how he looks, and Jesse flatley responds under medicated.
Speaker 1But that whole moment amazing was that wasn't Danny, that was a bob ramble.
It was so yeah, was overthinking everything?
Well to do this, and then and then John.
Speaker 3Just being like you could just settle down.
Speaker 2It's great, it was great, It was so great.
And yeah, Danny could use some some some medication that might help him out a little bit, might help him with his OCD.
Yeah, easily.
So Becky pulls Danny out of the house before he can second guess himself again.
Jesse asks, don't I get a kiss, and Danny responds sure, before placing a big one on his cheek.
Once they're gone, Jesse directs his attention back to the boys and sets some new ground rules caseopolists.
Men do not play with dolls.
He tells the boys.
Speaker 3It's worked out well for you, Jesse, word, really well.
Speaker 2He tells the boys to come outside with him to loop up his Harley instead, but the boys stay put right next to baby Love button.
Shocking, I know they want to play with the doll.
Speaker 3What locked?
Speaker 2Jesse decides to play the long game, telling them, all right, play with the doll now, but you'll have to nap sometime, and he wiggles his eyebrows, suggesting a devious plan in the making.
Speaker 1Jesse.
Speaker 2Over in Michelle's classroom, the students are practicing their letters and Michelle asks Teddy if he'd like to dot her eyes.
Teddy's face lights up as he says, that's my favorite thing.
But as soon as he hovers over the paper to do so, she snatches it out from underneath him.
She demands first the secret, then the dots.
Teddy frowns, Please don't do this to me, and Michelle taunts him, then spill your guts, man, She's a hard negotiator here.
No no, no, no, no no, he sighs.
The secret is I'm going to Amarillo.
Michelle asks what the heck is that, and Teddy explains it's a place in Texas.
Michelle is not impressed by this secret.
He's just going on vacation, but Teddy continues, it's not a vacation.
I'm moving there.
Michelle shouts what, and their teacher shushes her, so she continues the conversation with a whisper.
She tells him you can't move, and Teddy responds, I have to.
My dad got a new job.
Michelle reminds him that they won't be best friends anymore, and Teddy nods, I know it's bad news.
He asks, are you mad, and Michelle's face falls No, I'm too sad to be mad, and they're sad by scene between them so sad.
Goodness, it is so sad.
I love this friendship, like I've just gotten into this friendship and I'm so sad again.
And this is remarkable that these two child actors can carry this whole scene.
And they they did great.
They did so good, Like I'm finally not feeling as bad for the child actors anymore, like, oh my god, the stilted baby acting.
No, they're really acting, and.
Speaker 3They were doing great.
Speaker 2Kate, Oh, she did fantastic.
Speaker 3So she did a great job.
Speaker 2She did such a good job.
She plays very well off Tage.
Yeah, loved it.
Over in the kitchen, Comment is eyeing Danny's plate of food, but he tells the dog sorry, Comment, this is my late lunch.
I was on the phone with Vicky.
She canceled our long weekend together.
She has to fly back to Chicago tonight.
Speaker 1I love expository dialogue towards the dog's a dog, You're like, comment, hold on for thirty seconds while I set everyone up for what's actually going on in the time that you didn't see me?
Speaker 2Right, Yeah, And it's so hard to be fair.
Speaker 1I also talk like this to the dog when no one's home.
Speaker 2So yeah, it's true, true, but it's true that the diet.
Like, it's hard as an actor to deliver expository dialogue in a convincing manner.
Speaker 3Right, you're like, oh my god.
Speaker 1It sounds like I'm reading facts.
Speaker 2It's like previously on me, Like you just.
Speaker 1Want to turn to the camera and be like so or Nicky has to fly back to Chicago, can't do.
Speaker 3The long weekend.
And here we go and action.
Speaker 2So Danny continues to ask the dog for life advice.
Do you think I'm making myself two nuts over this?
And then he answers his own question with obviously I'm talking to a dog.
Well, Michelle's at school, so right, there's no therapist.
Speaker 1There's no yeah, toddler therapists, first grader therapists.
Speaker 3Then you've got to turn to the dog.
Speaker 2Right, the dog is fills in sometimes fill in therapist.
Yeah, he's they are very good listeners, so actually they are.
Yeah, really, Then Steve, Kimmy and DJ walk in.
Steve's eyes go straight to the meatloaf sandwich on the table, but Danny stops him by saying easy there, jaws.
Steve apologizes saying he didn't want to take Danny's snack, but Kimmy butts in and asks why not?
I do it all the time, and she takes half of the sandwich without a second thought.
Danny looks at DJ and wonders, do you have any friends whose parents feed them?
Laughs him off, Dad, stay cool.
Steve's a wrestler.
He needs his strength, and she hands him the second half of danny sandwich without asking.
Danny asks what about Kimmy, and DJ shrugs, well, she just has bad manners.
Speaker 3You're not gonna stop Kimmy.
Speaker 5Nope.
Speaker 2Kimmy argues, I do not, and then proceeds to tell Danny this meat loaf is really, really dry.
She walks over to Comet and gives him the rest of the sandwich before leaving the house without another word.
Speaker 3Comet's soaked.
Speaker 2She's so rude, like, can't like we've crossed over.
We've crossed over.
Yeah, here, I'm gonna take your food.
Speaker 3It's also terrible.
Speaker 2I'm gonna give it to the dog.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2Wow, Kimmy.
At every turn she's insulting Danny and she's so rude.
We've definitely entered the Kimmy is obnoxious.
She's no longer like the the ditsy character.
She's now character straight up rude.
Steve tells DJ, well, I gotta go.
I'll miss you, and DJ gush is I'll miss you more, and Steve responds, I'll miss you more than more, and Danny, who happens to be sitting right between them, has to has to bear witness to this.
Love vests decides he's had enough.
Speaker 1I would never in a million years, over the top of my father's head to be push No, no, it would be weird.
Speaker 2Come on, kids, like keep that to the car, or behind the school cafeteria.
Speaker 7In in the park, in the backyard, in the park, in the bar.
Speaker 2You know it's so true.
So yeah, Danny tells Steve, I bet she'd miss you even more if you were gone, and DJ shouts, Dad, look, there's a dust punny under the table.
Janny says that's impossible, but he takes a look anyway.
As he's ducking under the table, DJ and Steve lean in to give each other a kiss.
They're ballsy, man, They're ray.
Janny realizes there's nothing under the table and looks at the two of them with suspicion, but Steve's out the door before he can ask any further questions.
This was a cute.
This was so cute.
God's so cute.
He's like trying to hide his smile from Danny, and then he runs out that was a cute bit, very cute.
Then Michelle and Steph walk in.
Michelle asks her dad, can I ride my bike to Amarillo.
Danny tells her it's a little too close to dinner for that, and he points out that Amarillo isn't as far as Chicago, where Vicky lives.
He rambles on about Chicago being way past Utah, Colorado, Nevada, and Michelle cuts him off, saying, I get it, it's far, and she walks away.
Steph continues the conversation with her dad, saying you really miss Vicky, don't you, and Danny uses this opportunity to complain even more about Vicky's decision to move to Chicago.
DJ nods with understanding, I know exactly how you feel.
After lunch, when Steve goes to study hall and I go to geometry.
I miss him so much.
I think I'll die before I see him again.
In Spanish Stuff pretends to gag at this.
She's a funny, you're very convincing, and that you're just like a good gross and Danny tells DJ his situation is a little different.
For example, he'd like to kiss his girlfriend without getting the yucky phone taste in his mouth.
Yeah.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2After talking about it more, Danny realizes this relationship may not be worth it.
Stephanie argues, come on, Vicky is so nice.
DJ chimes in, yeah, I thought you liked her, and Danny says he does like her a lot, but it's driving him crazy having a girlfriend that's never in town.
So he decides the next time he sees Vicky, he's gonna tell her that they should see other people.
Speaker 1Danny, don't do it right, Danny, Danny, Danny like to stop thinking.
Speaker 2Stop thinking.
Cans Over in stephan Michelle's room, Michelle is coloring when Teddy walks in.
He tells her the moving trucks here.
I guess I gotta say goodbye.
And they're in the same outfits as earlier in the day when they were at school.
So is this all in the same day, Matt, Yes, all the same.
Speaker 1Then let's say the parents have probably been the movers have been their wall, Teddy's been at school because it's.
Speaker 2Paying the ass home, you know what I mean.
Yeah, that's true.
They've been doing all that and then moving truck.
We're leaving.
Speaker 1Maybe it's a maybe it's a Thursday, you know what I mean.
And they're like, we got weekend and drive to Amarillo whatever.
You know how it's supposed to be pronounced, which I believe means yellow, but anyway, it's.
Speaker 3Just I'm my gosh, we just americanized it.
Speaker 1But yeah, to uh that they're driving to Amarillo this evening.
Speaker 2Okay, so weekends, you got a drig out it.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, it's a long drive.
Speaker 2Okay, So Teddy has walked himself over to the Tanner house by himself.
Speaker 1Well, he drove the moving truck over there.
There's two of them, big house, you know what I mean.
And so he actually drove the second moving truck over there.
It's like, hey, Mom, Dad, I'm gonna stop by, say by the mill before I go.
I'll beat you guys on the I five.
Speaker 2Yeah.
The kids are very self rel They know how to move, man.
The kids know how.
Speaker 1To literally, yeah literally, these kids should start a moving company.
Speaker 3Steph Michelle Teddy.
Speaker 2Oh, they would crush it.
They crush it.
Hills be damned.
You know, it doesn't matter.
If there are hills stairs three stories in the house, you'd be surprised.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, you got a horse, you need to move upstairs.
Speaker 2We got you now a piano of recording studio.
No problem, right, So Michelle offers, maybe you could live at my house, and Teddy admits I already asked.
My mom says she would miss me too much.
So Michelle suggests, well, she can live here too, but Teddy shakes his head.
I don't think my dad would like that.
Speaker 3Invite him.
Speaker 2There's a room more than there's room, and plenty of bathrooms.
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 2Michelle asks if they can play just one more time, and Teddy gives in.
He tells her he can only stay for a minute, though, so she shows him her brand new jump rope, But Teddy doesn't know how to play, so Michelle decides to teach him.
She ties one end of the jump rope to her bedpost and the other to a nearby chair.
The rope is laying flat on the ground and she jumps over it to show off her moves.
Speaker 7Poor Michelle, it's not even one person to turn one end of the rope.
She could leave it tied to the bedpost and like Steph could do it.
Speaker 3No, a sport child thinks she jumping rope is when it just lays on the ground.
Speaker 1She's so neglect She's so neglected that she's like, no, this is how you do it, right.
No one's ever told her they're supposed to be people spinning the rope.
Speaker 3Yeah, she said, she.
Speaker 2Is the ultimate, learned how to play by herself.
Four hundred people living in the house and no one will play another one, right.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2She looks like this is totally normal.
Speaker 3No one to turn a rope.
Speaker 2No, And she's teaching it to her friend, like this is normal.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Yeah, Teddy didn't.
Speaker 2Go jes your friends.
Speaker 3Yeah, He's like, maybe I shouldn't leave.
It seems like you're very lonely.
Speaker 2Teddy's are lifeline, like she needs him to stay.
So Teddy, poor Teddy grins, I can do that, and he jumps over the rope a few times too.
They go back and forth, attempting some cool spinning jumps as they tell each other watch this, watch this.
Speaker 3I mean, you know you got it.
You gotta do what you gotta do.
Speaker 2I'm in my head, this is how I'm imagining how it went down.
It was scripted that one of the kids does do the they couldn't jump, and they couldn't do it, like, they couldn't coordinate the kids to do this execute it.
So Jeff's like, just lay it on the ground and jump over it.
Speaker 3Yeah, you know, that's actually probably look more accurate.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, He's like, the joke's got to work, and it doesn't really work.
But you know, although doing.
Speaker 1That would have also been funny, you know what I mean?
Yeah, oh yeah, I played I play jumper with my sisters and they just can't do it, and it's like, you.
Speaker 2Know what, let's make it.
Speaker 3Let's just do this this.
Yeah, we're still jumping the rope right right, this this.
Speaker 2Whole bit, Oh my goodness, yeah, so classic.
Meanwhile, up in the attic, Jesse is sitting with twins and showing them the new manly toys that he bought for them.
Oh boy, it includes a monster truck, a football, and boxing gloves.
Then Becky walks in carrying baby love button and she asks, hey, Jess, how come this was in the bottom of the hamper.
He openly admits that the freezer was full.
Becky analyzes all of their new toys and asks about an action figure dressed in a karate uniform.
Jesse tells her that that's kickboxing Kurt and shows her exactly how lethal his kickboxing moves can be.
It's because John is also like not a very manly that.
Speaker 3That was the thing I was gonna say.
Speaker 1Is the hilarious part of this is that John is also not like wearing boxing gloves and you know, and like racing monster trucks.
So the fact that John's like, god, man, I don't take him.
Speaker 2I can't take it seriously.
It's like John, give it up, Like, just give it up.
Jesse is just as metrosexual as anyone else.
And the musician you're into hair, You're into hair accouterments, like you just lean into the doll.
Is.
Yeah, this whole storyline is so funny.
So Becky wonders why the boys can't also play with baby Love Button, and Jesse admits, because it's wrong.
I'm sorry, I don't make the rules.
Becky asked, who does make the rules then, exactly, Becky, and Jesse throws out Clint Eastwood.
Speaker 3Not great.
Speaker 2Becky emphasizes that she wants the boys to be well rounded human beings.
Speaker 1Yeah, oh my god.
I actually loved the storyline because Becky was like, and now knowing the fact that Jeff wrote and directed it, I'm.
Speaker 3Super proud of that.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Yeah, he was absolutely making a statement of like why can't.
Speaker 3With these gender silliness?
Speaker 2It's a great storyline, that's really great.
Becky is so progressive for nineteen ninety two, and I love it, Like she's such a good role model.
Yeah, I love her.
So Becky asks Jesse what a boy who plays with baby dolls could grow up to be.
He jokes, an accordion player, and she responds he just might grow up to be a terrific father.
Speaker 1Turns out nurturing is not exclusive to one side exactly.
Speaker 2Isn't more?
Speaker 3Yeah, isn't more female or group?
Like, it's such a silly.
Speaker 2It's just about loving the kids and letting him explore it.
Speaker 1You know.
Speaker 2It's it's not not as big as he listens.
He listens, He does listen, Yeah, he better.
This is what gets him to listen?
Is this this pointing out about being a great father.
So Becky hands him the baby doll and asks him to think about it, and then she walks away.
Jesse holds the doll and sighs in defeat.
He hands it back over to the boys and tells them, play with Baby Love Button.
Speaker 3Grow up to be.
Speaker 2Warm, sensitive carrying men.
Actually, it doesn't sound too bad, does it.
Yeah, one of the twins getting it.
Yeah, I know, he got it very quickly.
Actually, I was surprised.
You know, it only took him seventeen minutes to it this time, said the full twenty two.
One of the twins decides to set the monster truck on top of Baby Love Button, so Jesse decides to teach them the correct way to hold a baby.
Becky watches as Jesse cradles the baby doll and shows the boys what to do.
Speaker 3That's so kind.
That made me happy.
That was ay, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2Like this storyline such a good one.
Speaker 1It was a really yeah, I really like proud that Jeff wrote a storyline about that.
Speaker 2Good job, Jeff, good job, because early nineties it was very much like like Jesse.
Speaker 3Something with dolls man exactly.
Speaker 2Yeah, I know, this was a great storyline.
And the twin whatever twin is repeating, Oh at the.
Speaker 3End of the worry about that.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, he's back wa ge and Laurie's sttly laughing in the back.
Speaker 3Right.
Yeah, it was cute.
Speaker 2It's so cute.
Gosh, I love those boys.
So next in the living room, Stephan Dj are trailing down the stairs after Danny.
Steph asks him, are you sure you want to break up with Vicky?
Danny clarifies, I'm not breaking up with her.
I just think we should date other people.
DJ rolls her eyes kiss of death.
Steph adds, if you do this wrong, it could sour Vicky on men for the rest of her life.
DJ and Danny look at her inquisitively, and she shrugs.
It happened on Thelma and Louise.
Speaker 1Steph, you're gonna rewatch that movie and get it.
Speaker 2Probably, yes, yes.
Danny's not sure what he's going to tell Vicky.
She's a wonderful person, but the long distance relationship just isn't working, and then he realizes that's the perfect thing to say.
The doorbell rings and Danny sighs, that's her.
I hope she can handle this.
He opens the door and they say hello to each other, but it's definitely awkward.
They give each other a kiss on the cheek and Vicky says hello to the girls.
Stephanie admits, I just want to say it's been really nice knowing you, and Vicky asks, excuse me, DJ covers for her.
She means, it's really nice knowing you're here.
Vicky smiles and voices her agreement.
She gives each of the girls a hug, saying I feel like we never get to spend enough time together.
Steph responds, You're not the only one, steph Come on, shut her mouth.
I relate not to that at all.
Danny finally tells the girls to get out, so they begin to walk away, but Stephanie has a few more partying words for Vicky.
Just remember not all men are rats, Stephanie.
So once Danny and Vicky are alone, there is obvious tension.
They take a seat on the couch, but before Danny can get a word out, Vicky blurts, I think we should see other people.
Danny's shocked.
Vicky apologize for saying it so bluntly, but she wasn't sure how else to bring it up.
Danny offers, how about You're a wonderful person and I don't want to hurt you, but this long distance relationship just isn't working.
Vicky realizes yes, that would have been better.
She abruptly stands up and wonders, are you really happy with the way things are going?
Danny shakes his head.
No.
I was going to tell you the same thing until you came through the door, And now that you're here, I realized I'd rather see you one day a year than somebody else every day of the week.
Oh, I know, I'm so glad to sweet, so glad he came to this realization.
Vicky smiles before admitting me too.
But now she realizes they're right back where they started.
Danny nods yeah, miserable, and she adds suffering.
They go back and forth with adjectives like lonely and tortured before Danny grabs her and goes for a full blown makeout.
He decides he can visit Chicago one week weekend a month and Vicky will visit San Francisco one weekend a month, and that's how he'll make it work.
Speaker 3That's it.
Speaker 2Compromise, sacrifice, yep'll when you love each other, you'll make it work.
Yeah.
Speaker 3I remember flying back and forth to New York for like three years with misscal Oh.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's right.
You guys were a long distance for a long long that's for a long time.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, when he was finishing his masters.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's right.
So next in Michelle's room, Michelle's reading her alphabet book aloud in a very sweet voice, and then we see that she's tied Teddy to her chair with the jump rope.
Speaker 1Because that's what happens when no one's supervising, you know, you start abducting your friends.
Speaker 2Yes, he begs Michelle, let me go.
My family's gonna move without me, and she grins in response.
Now you're getting it, Teddy's eyes widened.
You're never letting me go.
She promises, it's for your own good.
He wiggles his nose and says, you could at least scratch my nose, and she does.
He asks what happens when he gets hungry.
Says she'll bring him breakfast and dinner.
Teddy wonders what about lunch, and she says, sorry, I'll be at school at that.
Speaker 3Teddy's dark.
Yeah, a fact.
Speaker 2About it, Like she's thought this whole thing through.
She's just like, yeah, sorry, you're gonna go.
Speaker 3You have to be tied to this chair now.
Speaker 2Yeah, Teddy screams at the top of his lungs help, and Michelle covers her ears and shouts, I can't hear you, as Teddy continues to scream let me out.
Help.
Finally, an adult shows up to intervene.
Joey quickly goes to Untie Teddy and asks Michelle why she would do such a thing.
She tells him that Teddy's moving, and Joey admits he doesn't want Teddy to leave either.
Teddy hears this and sighs, uh oh, I'm never getting out of here.
Taj's reactions are so great in this scene, like he's just he gives great face, you know, wide eyes and everything.
Yes, Michelle complains that she's not going to have a best friend anymore, but Joey reminds her that tying Teddy up isn't going to stop him from moving.
Speaker 3Yeah, and is probably illegal.
Speaker 2Yes, at least in forty eight states.
Yes, she argues, well, it was working until you came in.
Finally, Joey unties him and shares some words of wisdom.
I know how much this hurts.
When I was your age, my dad was in the army and we moved all the time.
I said goodbye to a lot of best friends.
But it also meant I made a lot of new best friends.
Michelle doesn't want to hear it.
She just wants Teddy and Joey tells her that's okay.
She can keep her old friends and also make new friends.
He stammers, and he tries to come up with an analogy.
Friends are like well, they're like Jello, there's always room for more.
At least he didn't do a Cospy impression.
Yes, thank goodness.
Yeah.
Plus, Joey tells them that they can write letters to each other now that they're learning how to.
Speaker 3And send them through homing pigeons.
Speaker 2Michelle tells Teddy, I'll leave all my eyes for you to dot, and Teddy lights up and tells her I almost forgot.
He pulls a doll with a bright yelt with bright yellow hair out of his backpack and hands it to Michelle, saying I brought you furry Murray.
Michelle is confused, considering Teddy loves furry Murky and sleeps with him every night, but Teddy wants her to keep him.
Sad music plays as Michelle walks over to her shelf and grabs her stuffed pink pig.
She hands it to Teddy and says, I want you to have pinky.
Teddy asks your favorite pig, and Michelle responds, you're gonna need somebody to sleep with.
Teddy squeezes the stuffed animal and thanks her.
It's the moving pig.
Speaker 3You're right, Yeah, it's the moving pig, the moving pig.
It's the it's the tradition of the moving Pig.
Speaker 2The sisterhood of the Traveling.
Speaker 3Pig, Sister of the Traveling Pig.
Speaker 2Joe grabs Teddy's school bag and reminds Michelle that his parents are probably wondering where he is.
Speaker 1Yeah, and then he's going to show up with a story that you tied him to a chair and his parents are probably going.
Speaker 2To be pretty glad that he's moving.
Absolutely, Teddy and Michelle give each other one last big hug before he walks out of the room.
Michelle clings on to Joey after he leaves, and Joey promises her it's going to be okay.
Oh, I'm calling it right now.
When we get to our season six rankings at the end of this season, this is going to be the saddest episode.
Yeah it yea so sad.
Yeah.
Oh, the kids are just selling it like they do so well this whole episode.
The next day, in Michelle's classroom, Missus Knotts is showing her students how to cross their ts, and Michelle is sitting at her desk with an empty seat next to her.
Then Denise walks into the classroom with a backpack and her lunch bag, and missus Knots introduces her to everyone.
Se She suggests Denise take a seat next to Michelle, who seems a little closed off.
Denise asks Michelle if she'd like to share lunches today, but Michelle doesn't think her tuna sandwich would go well with Denise's baloney sandwich.
Denise tells her that she also has potato chips, and Michelle's interest piques immediately.
Denise says they're sour cream and onion, and Michelle gasps, really, She nods, sure, Why would I lie about potato chips?
The serious business these potato chips.
Michelle admits that's her favorite flavor and Denise says it's hers too.
Michelle adds the taste stays on your tongue for a really long time, and Denise can relate.
Sometimes when my mommy kisses me, She says, ew, what have you been eating so.
Speaker 3True sour cream and onion really is oh pungent.
Speaker 2That stays for at least twenty four hours.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2The teacher comes by and shushes them, and they copy her shushing motion right back at her.
Michelle tells Denise that they're making teas and asks if she'd like to cross hers.
Denise responds cool and happily takes the opportunity.
Michelle watches as her new friend crosses her teas and admits, you're good, and Denise gives her a knowing smile, and they continue to do their schoolwork side by side.
And that's our show now.
Speaker 3Question though we've already met Denise.
Speaker 2Right in the Ranger Joe.
Speaker 3And The Ranger Joe episode.
Speaker 2Right, so is this which is this?
She's meant like she just moved to San Francisco.
She first attended a Ranger Joe taping and then decided became friends.
They all want to go play they did, so I don't know, Maybe I'm trying to make sense, makes sense, we're thinking too hard about it, but yeah, we did well.
So maybe she's not new to Michelle, she's just new to the school, like she just changed schools.
Speaker 3Yeah, maybe yeah, or something changed classrooms.
Maybe she went from one first grade class to the other.
Speaker 2Yeah, that happens.
Speaker 3Maybe she skipped a grade.
I don't know.
Speaker 2Maybe it was really Denise.

Speaker 2Oh my, oh my dude.
Episode I love this race.
Speaker 1Episode, really cute and like definitely something that kids deal with friends moving away.
And it's so funny though, because now, like I will watch my kids with their friends who move away, and they're like, oh, it's a bomber.
But it's not like they're not going to see them on face time and in chats and online, and like it's it's so different that idea of severing a friendship.
When like we were young, when somebody moved away, that was like if they moved schools, right, you've never seen know, yeah, you were on separate islands.
Like now the kids know everyone at school at different schools and that, but like.

If they're kind, well rounded people, they become good dads like you want to be.
Speaker 2And Jesse was like oh, because she also kind of was like how many times have you been being in it?
Speaker 3And it kind of I think it made.
Speaker 2Jesse think like, oh, oh, yeah, I've done it.
