Let’s take a trip to Kokomo - no matter where it actually is - for the newest recap of “Beach Boy Bingo!” This legendary episode marks The Beach Boys first Full House appearance and the only one where they performed in front of very drunk college students.

Jodie sings and dances like it’s the end of her life, and it almost was - and she realizes why anyone who also saw her at the George Michael concert might have some embarrassing info on her.

It’s time to get on that stage and rock out to Bopper Anne, or Barbara Anne, on a totally tubular How Rude, Tanneritos!

I have to do the clapping thing. I'm either going
to screw up the very beginning or the very end. Okay,
it's or both or you never know. You never know,
but I try and pick one.

Speaker 1 (00:34):

We're up, We're upright upright you especially, so our voices
are a little little shot.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah, we did a we did a press tour yesterday
and uh and we recorded another episode earlier this morning

to just we got to hang out and get it together.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
And I only put my foot in my mouth once
and it was the last interview of the day, So
that's that is.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
And you didn't put your foot in your mouth. You
you gave a factual piece of information out of context
which sounded strange, which was that Andrey and I were
in bed eating lunch together, which was because we were
doing a long press day and we had a hotel
room where we were doing some of our Zoom stuff
from and we ordered food and we were sitting in

(01:49):
the bed eating lunch together, and while other people were
also in the room and at various tables and mix.
But we're doing an interview and she says something, well,
earlier when we were in bed eating or whatever, and
I was like, hold on, wait, wait, let me give
this some context.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah, the interviewer, he was like something, oh, justin He
said something about how how close are you guys, or
you know, you've remained close all these years.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
And I said like, how cool? Yeah, are you guys
like really good friends?

Speaker 1 (02:14):
And I'm like, I can't get Jody out of my bed.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
That's what it was. I can't get Jody out of
my That's what it was. Well, I remembered it is
so much better than that. I mean, not better, but
like less of less less problematic. Actually, yeah, that was Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
That was terrible and I couldn't recover, Like I couldn't.
I'm like, no, we were having lunch. Could I couldn't
explain it fast and it was it was great. Just
gave up.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Up and I was like, oh we were it's it's
a thing. Yeah. Yeah, I couldn't get I can't get
Jody out of my bed.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
I was like, I can't get Jody out of my bed.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
First, for that second of all, you were very Yes.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
You dropped some keen walks and I had a sudden
keen walk explosion of my salad.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
I flung it all over the place, like all over
the bed. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Hey, the bed is always open, so you're always invited
my bed.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
I I don't know what's happening.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
I think, right, we're tired. I think we're still really tired.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
I woke up at three thirty am yesterday and got
home at eight o'clock.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
So yeah, I mean from the start of the day
you almost got left behind by your driver. You made
it to my house. You were at five in the morning.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
It was so that was funny.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Yeah, there was fog, like really terrible fog.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
But it ended up being a beautiful day. Oh, it's
a gorgeous day day inside and outside. I'm glad we're
I'm glad we're here.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
I'm glad we're here. I'm glad we I'm glad I
finally made it out of your bed.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
So I'm going to watch that back whenever that air.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
I apparently wasn't wanted there in the first place, since
you couldn't get me to leave fast enough.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
So I've been in this business like four decades. I
need media training, please somebody. I can't. No, it's not anyways,
that's all right, that's all right. I'll stick I'll stick
to my lane. This is what I'm good at. I'll
do a podcast in a recap right now.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Look, I think your interview answers are always great. But
you know me, I'm a fan of the irreverent and inappropriate,
so I think I think we strike the perfect balance.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Oh good, Yeah, Well, let's get into this episode. Please please, please, Yes.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
I am so excited about this episode though, And I
didn't know that I was going to be this excited
until after.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
I watched it. Yeah, this is an iconic I was like, oh.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah, the bitch Boys. You know, I had such joy
with watching this episode. I again, it was one where
I went if people were enjoying this as much as
I was in you know, nineteen eighty seven or eighty
eight or whatever it was, there's this is I see
why fule House started really taking off. And it really
was second season we started, like I think, really people

(04:46):
started tuning in and I get it because this episode,
this episode made me feel good in my heart.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Oh well, I didn't remember that the Beach Boys were
on so early in the run of the series, like
season two. I didn't know that. I didn't know that they.
John had a friendship with them long before full House back.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
In Yeah as a musicianal days.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, such an iconic episode and I can't wait to
get it.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Really is because the Beach Boys were I mean they
this was kind of the time of their comeback with
Cokemo and whatever. But like this really was a huge
pop culture moment and again something we didn't appreciate as kids,
like didn't realize it.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
This episode is what put the Beach Boys on the map.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
This really is I mean, my god, they you know,
they were just a little bands, you know, right right,
singing about being in a room. You know, they were
just like, hey, can we have a break, And then
and then this came along, So you're welcome.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Thankodness, Thank goodness, goodness.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
We are obviously kidding in realizing before we get to musicians. Yeah, yeah,
before we like, do you know Brian Willson and Dennis
Wills they were incredible? Yes, yes, we know. It had
nothing to do with.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Full house legend to have them there, yeah, legendary. Well,
welcome back to how Rude Tannerritos. I'm Andrea Barber and
I'm Jody Sweeten, and today we are discussing season two,
episode six, Beach Boy Bingooo. It originally aired on November eighteenth,
nineteen eighty eight, and it goes a little something like this.

(06:21):
DJ wins two tickets to meet the beach Boys in
the entire Tanner clan wants to go with her. Oh dilemma.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Yeah, two tickets for our giant right, not enough tickets
for that full house. No.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
It was directed by Steve Zuckerman and it was written
by Dennis Rinsler and Mark Warren. And there's five guest stars,
very very important, the beach Boys, Bruce Johnston, Mike Love,
Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson and Al Jardine. What legends.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
This is total legends.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
This was in the Kokomo. This is when Kokomo had
just been really least and it went to number one.
The movie Cocktail had come out, and right, oh my god,
over and over and over, such a good song.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
I forgot that Cocomo was in. I mean, I knew
it was like kind of like had become like a
popular song, but that's right, I forgot it was in
the Tom Cruise movie Cocktail about I never watched it.
I mean, I was obviously six. What did I know
about cocktails yet? But I just wait, but just just wait,

(07:29):
we'll get there. No, but I didn't remember it was
in that movie.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yeah, oh yeah, I remember. It's flipping there.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
What I'm saying is full House has a Tom Cruise
tie in. That's you know, which it's like, you know,
six degrees six degrees right, truly truly?

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah, So we're we're yes, we have a special connection
to Tom Cruise because of this.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
It's true, right, it's true.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Was there a lot of buzz on set about the
Beach Boys coming up? Where were people?

Speaker 2 (08:01):
I think I think so, because I know, like like
Jeff and you know a lot of the writers and
stuff were huge music fans and Beach Boys fans and
Elvis fans, you know, that sort of that era of
music which we had a ton of artists from. So yeah,
I think they were pretty excited. I'm sure also like

(08:23):
getting the Beach Boys, there was you know, it's always
whenever there's like what they call stunt casting, which is like,
you know, somebody coming in to play themselves, be it Joey.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
McIntyre from New to the Block, Yeah, I hear.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
That name in there, or you know the Beach Boys
or whatever. We're all of the new kids, well most
of them four fifths. You know, it's usually like a
big thing on set because oftentimes you're working around their
schedule and when they can be there and when they
can shoot, and when you can rehearse their scene and
all this kind of stuff. And especially for people who

(08:56):
aren't actors, they don't come in usually and do the
whole week of rehearsal. They'll usually show up on like
the pre tape day when we're getting that done before
the audience or something, and they'll or even sometimes just
the audience day and we'll do a quick rehearsal and
then we'll just shoot it that night. A lot of
times with people who aren't actors, athletes or musicians and stuff,
they kind of come in at the last minute, which

(09:18):
is which is also part of why you know, oftentimes
the dialogue is what it is.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yes, well, because it's they've had no time to rehearse
or practice. Yeah, just like you're winging it. That would
be terrifying for the dialogue coaches who were just like, uh,
let's run lines, let's see if can you memorize the voice? Right?

Speaker 2 (09:39):
But yeah, they they were. They were having a comeback
in eighteen.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
So very exciting to have that.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
What a guess it hit number one two weeks before
this episode aired.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Wow, timely Wow.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
To Cocomo hit number one twenty four years after their
first number one hit and just two weeks before this
episode aired.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
So we really were like that was that was excellent,
a great get for the show, an excellent timing. You
could not have planned that better.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Wow, maybe they did plan it.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
I wonder like, we have to make Kokomo number one
hit because then Full House airs two weeks later.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
No, I didn't mean like that. I just meant like,
maybe they were like, oh, because they're doing this song
that's coming out in a movie. Maybe it was like
a promo opportunity.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, that makes sense. That's a good tie in.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah, and I and I do think we in our
interview we talked with Gary Griffin about it. But I
do think this was one of the first times that
Brian Wilson had actually been doing anything kind of with
the band and publicly in a while, because you know,
he had been kind of in and out right Beach Boys.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Yes, I'm very glad. He very glad he made it
and came and delivered. Yeah, it was fantastic. All right,
Well let's get into it. We start with the teaser
in Michelle's room. This this is becoming a trend now,
these really short teasers involving Michelle doing cque things.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
But it was I feel like, was it back up
in case, like they couldn't get them to do what
they wanted them to do, and a scene it was like,
at least Michelle's in there somewhere. Yeah, just throw her
in there and see what in the end, right, Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
And so this teaser starts with Steph reading a bedtime
story to Michelle as they sit in her rocking chair.
This is so cute, and you were an excellent reader
at age six, Like I know, you started reading at
a very young age, younger than most people.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
About three and a half or I was reading full
Yeah it was cool. I loved it.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
I'm proud you were proud in this teaser.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
I was very Yes, I was very proud to be reading.
But yeah, I always loved books and had like a
sixth grade reading level I think with a timeline in
the school.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
So yeah, it was pretty fun and not much has changed.
You still love reading and you still yeah, it's thanks anytime, anytime?

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Wow, kick me out of your bed and then insult me.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Okay, so Michelle lets out a giant, unscripted yawn as
Stephanie asks, wasn't that a nice story? Michelle responds again,
and Stephanie clearly doesn't want to read this again, but
she kindly obliges, so steph starts the story again and
just quickly runs through the recap. Once upon a time
sort of, Cinderella lost a shoe, found shoe, and lived

(12:15):
happily ever after.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
I mean, this is just a bit, really really, what
more do you need? Thrown a couple terrible step family
members and you got it.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
You don't any details, like, just sum it up. This
is the cliff Notes version of Cinderella. But Michelle looks
at Stephanie dissatisfied and says, bad story again, and Steph admits,
you're pretty smart for someone who drools. Michelle lets out
a little laugh and Stephanie begins reading the full story

(12:42):
of Cinderella. Very cute, short and sweet.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Little sister moments, the little Michelle moments.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Like this, yeah, very very cute. So then we roll
credits and the Beach Boys get a special credit at
the top of the show. I mean, this is a
big deal. You know it's a big deal.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
That was. You know it's going to be a big
deal when your guest stars agents have secured them front
of front of show placements.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Absolutely the big deal Capital B. So we start in
the Tanner's kitchen and DJ is setting the table for
breakfast as Stephanie digs through a box of oat boats.
Man the oat boats needed a credit as well her recurring.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Characters, but they did. The oat boats were well after
Steph did the commercial. She obviously got a lifetime supply,
so that's just a never ending supply of oat boats.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yeah, yeah, that's true. It's free with with.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Really non obvious cardboard cutout of a dinosaur taped onto
the box, like but not even at the edges, just
kind of stuck on there where you're like, is that
just so just taped on there?

Speaker 1 (13:42):
They taped it on five minutes before then get.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Some scotch tapes, slap it on there. It'll be fine.
The eighties, love the eighties, Yeah, but in very eighties,
in very eighties style stuff. Was looking for the toy
in the cereal box.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yes, yes, I don't blame you. That's the most.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
Important giant glow in the Dark diner, which was obviously
in the box.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
So Stephanie tells DJ that she's looking for a giant
glow in the dark dinosaur. You just said that, And
DJ reminds her of Danny's rule, never put your arm
into somebody else's breakfast.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
That's a rule that implies that somehow that's been a
problem in the house before. And I don't know in
what scenario people keep sticking their arms into someone else's breakfast.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
But I'll tell you I have a good guess. Joey Gladstone,
I bet he has put in his arm in the
cereal boxes. Yeah, probably that would be on brand for him. Okay,
And a good rule, you know, the Tanner's Natures type
of guidance.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
It's a good life rule. Just don't put your arm
into someone else's breakfast, Yes, please, wherever that breakfast might be,
just don't stick your arm in there.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
So Steph pours the cereal into her bowl, perfect amount
of cereal, of course, and with no dinosaur in sight,
she announces that he has escaped. Bummer. Ye. Danny walks
into the kitchen dressed in a Hawaiian shirt, white pants,
and sunglasses.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
Like he's gonna work at cheesecake factory with the white pants,
and he.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Says cowabunga beach bunnies, and DJ excitedly says, all right,
surf's up, dude.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
And Michelle, in case we were wondering about the beach
boys being on the show, We're gonna throw in a
ridiculous amount of sixties surflingo.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Oh. Yes, yes, they're loading. They're front loading the episode
with frontloading it yeach boy stuff. Michelle waves and says,
hi daddy, like they're giving her lines in every every
single scene. Now she's she's working for her paycheck and
now she's really right. Yeah, she's a little dried fruit
that she would yes, try payment and dried fruit. Danny

(15:44):
tells the girls that he cannot believe that the Beach
Boys are gonna be on Wake up San Francisco. Whoa,
He tells them, I am stoked. Whatever that means.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
Stokes has made it through the years.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
By the way, stoked, I still say Stoke. Yeah. Well,
now the kids say, shook. I guess I didn't know. Yeah,
I'm shook and shook.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Yeah, so he shook.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
But back in the nineteen eighties, it was it was wait,
it was stoked. Sorry, I had a small stroke there.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah, well you had you were like in the eighties
it was hold on. I can't see because.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
That's where we're at. My throat's gone, my eyesight is gone.
Like I am. I'm just gonna prop myself up and
finish this. So DJ says, you like the Beach Boys.
I like the Beach Boys. We both like the same group.
I must be getting old Pikes. The Beach Boys are timeless.
So Joey and Jesse appear in the kitchen and the

(16:40):
guys all start singing surf and Safari tell me you
did not sing along to this?

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah, yeah I did. And I also was chuckling because
I was like in another full House musical moment.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
Always yeah, every every episode.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
I didn't realize this show was a musical.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
It really is.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
I didn't. And when we did Fuller, I was like, well,
there's a lot of singing in this that we didn't
do this before. Yeah, we did.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
It is built into the DNA of the show. Yes.
So the girls look at them and shake their heads,
causing the guys to stop their singing, and Danny admitting, boy,
we're mediocre. The family sits down for breakfast and.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
Amid by the way, mediocre would be mid for you
kids out there today, Yeah, mid mid mid, not great.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
We did have an explanation of all of these things.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yeah, well we translate. We need to translate from you know,
eighties language to what the kids say now.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
A millennial translator. Yes, right, Yeah. The family sits down
for breakfast, and as Joey goes to poor milk in
his cereal, Steph tells him to hold it. She starts
digging through his bowl with her bare hands. I'm not
Rives like to tell me the gross gros and she
explains that she's looking for a dinosaur. Joey laughs and

(17:49):
tells her to check the Flintstone vitamins. Delicious, They're so good.
I love the Flintstone vitamins. The camera cuts to Michelle,
who has started digging through her own cereal to mimic Stephanie.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Such a good role model for the dinosaur. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
Joey thanks Danny for inviting him and Jesse to meet
the Beach Boys today, and Danny asks Joey if he
remembers the first time they ever heard the Beach Boys.
Joey recalls that they tried to become surfers and who
knew that ironing boards didn't float?

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Good to know.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Jesse remembers the first time he heard good vibrations. He tells them,
I was in first grade. I turned to my date
and said, have mercy. Of course, Jesse's dating.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
Is uncle Jesse doing in first grade? What is he doing?

Speaker 1 (18:36):
He started young? He started down?

Speaker 2 (18:38):
Jesse, Calm down and just enjoy the song. You know. So.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Danny takes a bite of his cereal and chokes up
a little red dinosaur. Steph takes it in disbelieve that
can't be my giant glow in the Dark dinosaur. I
love how you said dine dinosaur.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
I was like, who says dinosur did? I it's some
weird acts. I don't know. Yeah, I was like, oh,
that can't be my glow in the Dark dinosaur.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Such a great such a you're watching your diction like
Brian Palor dialog coach taught you. She says it looks
more like a dino shrimp and she's disappointed. But them
the breaks come to the lives of capitalism.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
You think you're getting one thing and you're.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Not, and you're not.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
You're getting much smaller and yeah, yeah, much less.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
So we cut to the set of Wake Up San
Francisco and the set is completely redecorated to fit a
beachy theme, with plastic beach chairs, surfboards, a ginormous beach ball,
and other such things. Danny runs over to Jesse and
Joey to tell them that the Beach Boys are going
to be on the next segment, and they're very, very excited.

(19:47):
And I love seeing the set, our actual sound stage
in the background, the background with the chicken wire and
there's a sign that says do not obstruct air duct
and I'm like, yes, that was our set.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
That was just that. That was just literally the back
wall of our actual soundstage.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
So cool multipurpose right. When Danny runs back onto set,
Joey turns to Jesse and announces that he has a
crazy idea. He says, you know our jingle for beach
butter suntan lotion. We've been trying to sell well suntan
lotion the Beach Boys our beach butter jingle. Jesse tells
him these guys are legends. We can't ask the Beach

(20:23):
Boys to sing a measly jingle. Yeah, they have a
number one hit two weeks before this, Joey, what are
you thinking? Well? And Joey, I mean, do we have
to remind him of the cat puppets from the last
episode He screwed up that pitch and the ab Ever,
forget the cat puppets right, So it's like it is
too soon just as.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Fresh and yeah, too soon, too soon.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
Joey says it wouldn't hurt to ask, and Jesse responds, wrong,
you ask and I'll hurt you. So we cut to Danny.
Danny is on air, sitting on a plastic beach chair
as he tells his audience he is so stoked. Whatever
that means, he says. My co host Rebecca is walking
down the hall with the Beach Boy as we speak.

(21:02):
He is handed a note and he unfolds it and
he announces, I'm getting a note, and now I'm getting
a migraine. He reads The Beach Boys plane can't land
due to fog, a.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Very very typical San Francisco experience.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Well, and this again, Carl the Fog strikes again, ruining
the Tanner's plans. Remember in a season, that's right, that's
right to cancel your Disneyland trip.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
We had to cancel the Disneyland trip because of Carl
the Fog, which is the nickname that San Francisco people
have given.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
To the fog. He has an Instagram account, He she,
I don't know, I don't know if he.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Has an Instagram account, and he's just ruining the Tanner's down.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
Yes, it's so rude. How rude? Right, How rude, Carl?

Speaker 2 (21:43):
How rude? Indeed? Uh so?

Speaker 1 (21:45):
He crumples the paper and tosses it, trying to make
light of the situation by telling the audience, Hey, I
promised you would hear good vibrations and I never break
a promise. Danny grabs a guitar and Jesse whispers, oh no,
he wouldn't. Joey adds he shouldn't, and Danny starts to
sing Good Vibrations while playing the guitar, singing each separate

(22:06):
harmony of the song. Like, I thought he did pretty good.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Well I wrote it. I was like, this is such
a prime example of Bob doing all the harmonies, and
like he he had a joke I think like this
too in his stand up where it was like there
was singing a song or whatever He's like and then
this guy goes whatever, but really funny and so I
always love watching Bob play. I mean he was a

(22:29):
you know, he could play guitar as well and sing.
And yeah, I thought he did a great job with
the good Vibrations harmonies. I mean some of those are
h Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
He was doing great singer and he just killed this
whole number. I know he's supposed to be dorky doing it,
but I was impressed. Right, is so good. So we
cut to the kitchen and Danny is ironing his suit
jacket while managing to iron his tie as it's already
on his neck. Just peak Danny Tanner here.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Kimmy barges in the back door without knocking, of course,
and she asks, hey, mister Tanner, ironing your tie again?
He jumps up, startled. She asks if dj is home,
and Danny tells her, oh, she's doing her homework. But
I'm sure you'll put an end to that. Jimmy starts
to walk away, but then tells Danny tough break about

(23:17):
the beach boys not showing up. I guess they had
something better to do. Danny yells after her, you ever
heard of fog Gibbler? I love this? This This is
the start of a very long line of Danny Tanner
and Kimmy Gibler moments of yes and the barb's going
back and flinging barbs at each other. Love it. So,
Jesse and Joey burst through the door, trying to find

(23:37):
the radio. Joey tells him they're playing their jingle at
three forty five. They turn on the radio and their
jingle plays eat at Beano's and that's it today that
this is part cast. Yes, Jesse asks, wait, that's it.
They chopped our jingle into shreds, and Jesse and Joey
sang the full version to Danny so he can get
an idea of how it was supposed to sound, and

(23:58):
it is eat at Beano's today.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Sorry, I totally. I was like, here, let me tell
you the punchline before we get to the that's sorry.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
We were due. We were due for a Jodie Sweeten
screw up. So it's true, thank you for delivering. So
the radio announcer, who is Brian kle our dialogue coach,
by the.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
Way, dialogue coach, using excellent diction.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Excellent diction, he states that they're holding a big contest
where you can win a dream night with the Beach Boys.
The guys are intrigued. The lucky winner will get two
front row seats for tomorrow night's concert. All you have
to do is be the seventh caller and name the
Beach Boys song. Very exciting.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Did you ever try Did you ever call in a
radio station and try and win stuff? Oh?

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Yeah, you remember you kids on the block. Absolutely you
probably yea line seven phones?

Speaker 2 (24:49):
Well, because nobody had that. You had like a landline,
that was it.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
I just had one. Yeah, no, just one landline and
just redial and you had to like punch in. There
was no like pressing one button for redial. You had
to actually physically press the buttons each time of the
radio station. So, yeah, it was such a hardship back
in the eighties having to dial the phone.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
Really what you had to dial a phone? I mean,
and you know that wasn't even speaking of rotary phones.
I mean you couldn't you know, imagine trying to win
something with a rotary phone. It going not a zero, right.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
You would instantly lose just because of the amount of
time it takes to dial on a rotary phone.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Well, luckily, now you can win all the new Kids
tickets that you want with all of your all of
your many devices.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Yes, yes, I have a good chance now. So Jesse
immediately picks up the phone to call, but he hears
that DJ is on the other line. They give up
their chances at winning. And yet I remember, yeah, I
remember this. You have to share the phone line with
every single person that lives in the house.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
And so if people can listen to your phone conversation,
they pick it up. They do it quietly enough, they
can just listen right in.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
There's no privacy. And then if you live with teenage girls, yeah,
they're on the phone with their girlfriends all the time. So, yeah, no,
it was a problem. We had to get a second
phone line in my house.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
That was like a big thing, was like, oh, I
have my own phone line.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
We were privileged to have a second phone line. Yes, yes,
So the guys all start to walk away when the
radio announcer says, we have a seventh caller. What's your name?
And the girl responds DJ Tanner. All the guys run
back towards the phone and ask in unison, DJ. We
cut to DJ and Steph's room, where Stephanie is yelling

(26:30):
towards DJ and excitement. You're on the radio, DJ responds,
I know, be quiet. The radio announcer tells her that
in order to win the contest, she has to name
the hit song, So help me. Ronda starts to play,
and the guys name the song without hesitation. Yeah yeah,
so DJ stutters she's trying to think of the name

(26:52):
of the song. She can't think of it, which I'm like,
I thought DJ was a big fan of the Beach Boys.
How does she not know? Help me? Right? Come on, DJ.
So she's trying to think of it, and she whispers
help me Gibbler to Kimmy and the guys downstairs, say
help me, gibbler, and the announcer asks DJ to repeat
what she just said, and DJ slowly says help me.

(27:16):
Joey and Jesse and Danny burst to the door and
yell Ronda. So DJ has answered correctly, and everybody cheers yay.
The announcer tells her that she'll be picked up in
a limousine by the Beach Boys themselves, and she will
travel with them to their sold out concert, and we
get our very first thank you, thank you, thank you
from DJ, which becomes a recurring thing. Yeah, think, thank you.

(27:39):
The announcer asks DJ who she'll bring along with her,
and Danny clears his throat to get her attention. Jesse
and Joey point at themselves and smile. Stephan Kimmy have
huge grins on their faces while they beg for her
to take them. DJ is obviously overwhelmed, and Michelle sticks
her hand in the air to shout me, Me, Me.
DJ lets out a giant sigh. She realizes the big

(28:01):
decision that she has to make.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Muh oh.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
We cut to uh later on and in the kitchen
we see Joey making burgers for breakfast. Ah. He's making
DJ's favorite food so he can butter her up and
convince her to take him to the Beach Boys concert.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Burgers for breakfast feels like a lot.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
It feels it's a heavy breakfast.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
I mean, and I love a burger too. She's burgers
are my favorite too, but I don't know if I
could eat it for breakfast.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
Yeah. Yeah, I need a lighter breakfast otherwise I'd be
in a food coma for the rest of the day
if I had a burger for breakfast. Yeah. So Jesse
is onto Joey's antics here and he says, Joseph, you're
a disgrace. DJ runs downstairs while she's listening to music.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
Thank you for a Walkman on a Walkman, Yes, yes,
on a and not a CD walk Man, guys.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
No a cassette tape Walkman cassette tape which.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
Yeah, cassette tape Walkman with like the little sponge like headphone.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah, the spongey outer right cover.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Great.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Noise canceling on those. Let me tell you none if
your idea of noise canceling is actually hearing everything around
you more than the music that's playing in your ear,
yes it ample flight on noise canceling as far as
the music that you're listening to, it cancels that noise
and you just hear everything else going on around it.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
Exactly. Those are the days. So DJ thanks Uncle Jesse
for making a tape of her favorite songs a mixtape.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
Love It. Mixtapes were a love language in the eighties.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
They really were. Yeah. That was the thing that your
boyfriend would make you a.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
Mixtape, and your or you would make it like for
your friends. It was just the mixtape was the jam.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
And then Kimmy walks in again without knocking, and she
announces to DJ, I bet I know who wants a
plate of my mom's double fudge brownies. Stephanie yells, I do,
I do, and Kimmy responds dream on squirt. She puts
her right, I love putting you down. Yeah, that's my
favorite thing to do still to this day. She puts

(29:58):
her arm around DJA with love. With love, I feel bad.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
I feel bad.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
She puts her arm around DJ and kindly tells her
these are for DJ from her very best friend, Kimmy
with love. Steph breaks it to her, if you think
she's gonna pick you over her own sister, then you
haven't seen how I made her bed this morning, played
like a good older sister.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
Just get the younger one to do all the things
you don't want to do. All that in my house all.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
The time, B is always having to do I'm did
you put.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
Your laundry in? He's like, I did it for I'm like, oh, that.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Is definitely a sibling dynamic. Oh for jan Danny Trice
convincing everyone that DJ will not make her choice based
on bribes or special treatment. That's not how he raised her,
and he slyly adds, oh, my first born while grinning
at her. DJ gets ready to announce who she's bringing
to the concert while everyone does a little last minute bribing.

(30:53):
She confesses that well, she'd hate to see this end,
but she picks Uncle Jesse. He jumps up in excitement
as everyone congratulates him. Danny tries hiding his disappointment while
admitting that's quite a surprise. Jesse tells everyone he'll bring
them back T shirts and souvenirs, and Danny sits at
the table, looking extremely hurt by the decision.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
But it makes sense. I mean, Jesse's the musician of
the family.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
This is a natural rockoice.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
And I mean, you know, when you're a dad to
a teenage girl or a preteen girl, like, they don't
want to hang out with you.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
No, no, no, no, that would be embarrassing.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
He's the kind of the cool uncle. So this makes sense. Yeah,
this makes sense.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
I agree with this decision.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
Who do you think would be the pit the radio? Like,
who would the tickets be for now? If we were
to do this show? Now, who would the oh would be?
Like Taylor Swift, Beyonce or something?

Speaker 1 (31:47):
It would be I would say Taylor Swift because you
got to compete with those Swifties and they know all
the tricks, all the secrets, right, It's like a job
for the Swift.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Yeah, I do. I do feel like the like that
would be a very full house thing to do. Yes,
it was a Taylor Swift, well fullest house.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
There we go, there we go. We're right in this,
We're right in the storylines for thirty years from now. Yeah, exactly.
So we cut to Michelle's room where Michelle is painting.
DJ walks in carrying this mustard color blazer with very
large shoulder pads.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
I have I have some background info on the costumes
in this.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
You do, okay? You want to talk about an hour.
Wait till we get there.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
We'll get we'll get a little further into it. But
I if I remember right, I think this was the
outfit that Candice and I I wore, the same aptitude
that we wore to a George Michael concert.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
I was gonna say it looks like George money.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
I think it was. I think it was like stuff
that we purchased for ourselves but that we wound up
using on the show, or or maybe that we used
on the show that then we got to.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
Wear you kept for yourself.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
Wanner Red red much her how it worked. But anyway,
Oh cool, I remember that very distinctly from Candices.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
Oh yes, yes, this mustard colored blazer was everything.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
It was so cool, shoulder pads for days.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
Just it was like, you know, she just looks like
a linebacker.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
Yeah, oh it was great, very kind of Janet Jackson
rhythm Nation to we can't work quite there yet. Okay
we weren't great rhymn, but like with the with this
little chain military stuff on, and it was Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
So dj asks her dad if it's a good outfit
for the concert. Danny tells her it's beautiful, and he
assures her that she'll have a great time, and then
he asks, just out of curiosity, how come you picked
uncle Jesse to go with you tonight.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
Because he's not your dad? Well, you know that's coming
on Danny's spoken reason. I'm sorry, Danny, she loves you.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
But Danny's insecurity is coming out, it's coming through. Dj
tells him it's because Jesse loves the Beach Boys and
he he's a musician.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
Duh.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Yeah, So Danny nods and tells her that that makes sense.
Dja emphasizes that Danny's a talk show host. If she
won a night with Oprah Winfrey, she would definitely pick him.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
Makes sense.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
Danny reminds her that he still likes music too, even
though he's not in a band. He says, I grew
up with the Beach Boys, but it's not a big deal.
Come on, Danny, this guilt trip like this.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
Is right right. I watched it. I was like, this
is Parents should not guilt trip their kids about stuff
like this, like let the.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Like, and this is kind of out of character. This
is sort of like indirect manipulation. I don't know if
Danny's aware that he's yeah, exactly, Danny Tanner.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
It doesn't feel like Danny, like Danny feels. I mean,
he's trying to be I guess there it's a very
fine line between walking the you know, the idea that
like Danny feels sometimes a little bit left out because
now he's brought these other people in to help raise
the kids, and then they're cooler than him, I mean not,
you know, but to be fair, so you know, I

(35:01):
get it. But yeah, yeah, it's kind of those things
where you're like, as a parent, you just go like,
I'm not gonna have fun.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
Yeah, you can see that Danny has had these girls,
you know, when they're little girls, they worship their daddy,
you know, Daddy's little girl, and you can tell that.
You know, DJ's growing out of this, and Danny is
not having a good time with this. He does not agree,
and he's so insecure. Yeah, yes, man. So DJ looks
at him worriedly and asks, you don't feel bad, do you? Indeed,

(35:30):
Danny assures her it's no problem. After all, he did
get to see Smurfs on ice with her.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Also brilliant right.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
He tells DJ to go get dressed, leaving her to
feel uncertain about her decision. Danny turns around. He sees
that Michelle has painted all over her dresser with red paint,
calling her work pretty. But I like how she says
it pity, like she's pity.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
Pity, pity, Yeah, pity.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
He runs over to her and reiterates that she needs
to paint on the paper. It's just always being the
clean freak.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
He very conveniently has a sponge and cleaner waiting right there.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
It's like he was anticipating this mess when he started
this project.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
Well, as you do with a toddler when you give
them paint.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
Yes. Yes. Danny starts to clean the paint off the
dresser as Michelle looks at his pants, and then she
paints a red streak on his pants and says, daddy, pity.
Danny starts to frantically clean his pants, and he tells her,
can you say dry cleaner? Yeah? I feel like that
was an ad lib from Bob. It felt like it
was a script, like he was just until the drop.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
Yield cut and this was you know, this was around
the time that they that like the girls Ashley and
Mary Kate started saying lines on the show, and people
always kind of wonder what the process was for that
and talk well, and we'll talk about it also when
we have Adria later, who was our studio teacher and
also worked with the Olsen twins on the show. But

(36:54):
she was always with them and with them on set,
and basically what we would get them to do is
they would you know, be in the scene and we'd
kind of take a moment and Adrian would say the
line how she wanted them, you know, how they they
wanted the Michelle to save the line, and you know,
it was funny and ridiculous and over the top watching
an adult human being like daddy pretty you know, we

(37:17):
were all laughing and Adriy was like, this is ridiculous,
but the kid. They would repeat it and then you know,
obviously in the final edit they just edit it all
together and snip out Adria's voice and stitch it together,
so it looked like Michelle was just saying it all
on her own. And the reference to the dried fruit
was that instead of you know, candy or anything like that,
but like when they would do a good job in

(37:38):
between scenes, dried fruit was like little pieces of dried
fruit was what Adrian would have in her pocket for them,
like as a you know, little bribe reward or like
a little you know, a little thing like okay, cool,
like let's keep your you know, keep your energy up
and something to you know, nibble on that's healthy or whatever.
And but yeah, the payment was dried fruit.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
It's kind of like training the dog. Like with the
animal trainer, they get the dog to sit and you'd
give the dog a treat. So yeah, same thing. And
also if you notice to our audience, you'll notice that
the director always isolates this shot. It's a single shot
of Michelle when she says a line. It's never a
wide shot of the whole room. It's always a single
So then they can make that editing cuts a lot easier.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
And so Adrian could stand like right next to the
camera where they needed her, looked like Michelle was looking
at whoever she was talking to. Yeah, yeah, it's a
little movie, magic movie. We'll hear a lot more about
that again when Adria's on the show. But just that's
kind of how the Michelle dialogue was able to happen a.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Little behind the scenes magic there. Okay, so we cut
to Jesse's room where Jesse is getting ready for the concert.
As Joey tells him just picture it You and Djit
sitting in a limo with the Beach Boys. You just
happen to have a tape of are awesome, totally tubular,
gnarly beach butter jingle Dude. Jesse is unamused as he says,

(38:55):
he don't call me dude. B it's a dumb idea.
And two, I don't have a tape. They see. This
is typical John with the A, B, two and two
he does. He still does that to this day. So
we see that Joey has managed to slip the tape
into Jesse's coat pocket without him noticing, and he begs
Jesse to just think about it. Jesse pretends to think

(39:18):
for a second, and then he tells Joey get out.
He manages to kick Joey out, only for Danny to
walk right in immediately after. He wants to show off
Michelle's abstract art because he's convinced someday it'll be hanging
in the Metropolitan Museum of Art or on their refrigerator.
Dj walks in, happy to see them both, and she

(39:38):
tells them, Oh, I forgot I promised Kimmy we'd go
ice skating. So Dad, I want you to go with
Uncle Jesse to the beach boys tonight, have a great time.
She I know this. That guilt trip worked, Danny. Danny Danny,
so she walks out before they can say anything. Jesse
asks Danny what that was all about, and Danny responds,

(40:01):
maybe she thought she hurt my feelings when she picked
you to go instead of her own father. Maybe you think.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
You think Danny.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
Jesse asks if he is hurt by the decision, to
which Danny admits, well, maybe a little. Danny thought she'd
want to go with her dad, but he can't compete
with Uncle rock and roll. Jesse questions this, He's like,
you're jealous of me. If there's anybody that should be jealous,
it should be me jealous of you, and Danny tells
him that makes no sense.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
It really doesn't make anything.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
It kind of doesn't make sense, right.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
I feel like Jesse is just play Kenny Danny at
this point, like me, I'm good. Look at you, You're
a good bad kind.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
Of like one of those like no, you gotta make
the insecure man feel better about himself, right, right, right?
So Jesse emphasizes that Danny has something with these girls
that he will never have When Steph made her first
seramic handprint, she gave it to her dad, and Michelle's word, well,
it was technically cookie, but her second word was dad.

(41:03):
App And when dj gets married, her dad will be
the one to walk her down the aisle. And it
did happen. In Fuller, it's true twice.

Speaker 2 (41:12):
It's true that.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
Yeah, I mean, we assume that Danny walked her down
the aisle first time and then the second time too,
So right, Jesse tells him, I just hope one day
I'm lucky enough to have kids that love me as
much as those girls love you. Danny responds, So they
do worship me, don't they. He stands up and thanks
Jesse for reminding him how lucky he is. Jesse painfully asks,

(41:35):
you're gonna hug me, aren't you. Danny grins and tells
him you give me no choice. He grabs Jesse and
gives him a big squeeze against his will, and the
audience applauds.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
Yep, this is the beginning of Yeah, Danny Tanner and
his heart. Well, not the beginning, but we are very
clearly seeing Danny and all of his his love of hugging.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
Yes, exit it's his love language is uh huggies.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:57):
So Danny walks into the girl's room and apologizes to
to DJ for putting her in a tough spot.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
Good. Finally, Danny yes.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
He would like for her and uncle Jesse to go
and have a great time, but DJ insists the Beach
Boys mean a lot to you. I want you to go.
Jesse walks in, with Steph following behind, announcing to DJ
that he's changed his mind about the Beach Boys. He
wants DJ to go with her father instead. Danny argues
that if that, he's not going, and Jesse argues the same.

(42:27):
DJ tells both of both of them this concert was
supposed to be fun. Now everybody's either hurt or disappointed.
It's just not worth it. I'm not going. This got
ugly fast, right. Steph butts in, and she says, well,
I'll go.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
Looks she's looking at the reality of it, which is
there's two tickets. Someone's going, I'll go. Nobody wants to go.

Speaker 1 (42:48):
I'll take the stuff is so practical, like you know,
she's just jumps right.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
It's fine, you don't want to go, you know where
I'll go. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
So Joey overhears this and he asks Steph where she's going.
Steph tells him to the beach. Want to be my date?
And he responds, well, sure, what are you wearing? We
should coordinate, it's just perfect. Danny makes it clear that
DJ is going. She refuses, and Danny makes the decision.
If DJ's not going, no one is going. This causes
everyone to argue.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
This is just it's a rock and a hard place. Yeah,
it's impossible. No one's winning in this.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
So the phone rings and Steph answers the phone. While
everybody else is still arguing, she yells towards the fighting family,
excuse me, I'm on the phone. You were so grown
up when you said this.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
I'm on the phone.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
And then she repeatedly says no, no, no, no no
to the person on the other line, and then hangs up.
Jesse asks who was it, and she responds, some beach boy.
He called from a limo right in our driveway. I
told him no one was going.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
To switch from three No's was so much information I was.
I was like, in there, you.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
Just communicated that so well with your four nose right.
The beach boy was was tracking.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
They were like, Hi, I'm a beach boy and that's
what they said. Hi, I'm a beach boy.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Yeah, I'm a beach boy. Is DJ beach Boy's DJ going?

Speaker 2 (44:11):
No? Is anyone going?

Speaker 1 (44:12):
No?

Speaker 2 (44:13):
Should I leave now? Yes?

Speaker 1 (44:15):
Okay? So they all look at each other and bolt
downstairs to try to catch the band before they leave.
Stephanie looks befuddled as they run out the door. She asks,
did I miss something?

Speaker 2 (44:27):
I just love right. I'm surprised steph didn't just go Yeah,
I'll be right down and hang up the phone and
leave the room and be like Joey.

Speaker 1 (44:35):
That's great, that's what she should have done.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
So the family runs downstairs to the living room, yelling
for the beach Boys to wait. Jesse opens the.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
Door and opens both doors. Oh yes, yes, in a
non in a very non obvious reveal, because we always
throw both doors open wide.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
But yeah, you can't fit five beach boys in a
in one little doorframe.

Speaker 2 (44:57):
No, you can't. You can't. It's a it's a physical impossibility.
You can fit four beach boys into a small space,
but not five.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
It's not a clown car here, it's a right. So
the beach Boys a limo.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
It's a limo.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
Yes, the beach Boys are standing right there in front
of them. We are met with a huge applause from
the audience and the whole family is smiling ear to ear.
How cool must this have been for the live audience?

Speaker 3 (45:21):
Right?

Speaker 1 (45:22):
See the beach boys there, Yeah, how amazing. Danny exclaims, Hey,
you're the beach boys. Come on in, and then he
has the nerve to ask them to wipe their feet
before they walk in the door.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
Well, they could have been at the beach. No one
wants to have been sanded. It takes forever to get
that out of the being that they're beach boys. And
even though they're well older than anyone in the room,
they are the beach men.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
The beachmen, Yes, the beach, the beach.

Speaker 2 (45:48):
You shouldn't have the same ring to it. The alliteration
just isn't there. It really does something for it.

Speaker 1 (45:54):
The beach Boys all walk into the house, shaking hands
with the whole family, and Joey spews out their names
and excitement.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
And in exposition, so that in case anyone who didn't
know what their names were and just referred to them
as beach boys, which is their collective group name, we
all knew that they actually had names.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
And then the Beach Boys proceed to introduce themselves to
each other and shake the hands of their bandmates as
a joke. And the Beach Boys look great here like
they're just wearing there like they are. They're in Hawaiian shirts.
They're just casual, you know, pants, jeans, whatever.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
Just it's there's some Hawaiian shirts. I think Bruce is
wearing a like a blue jacket with sort of like
I don't know, like mc hammer pants. One of them's
in shorts.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
Yeah, it's very casual for going to perform at a concert.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
Right, well, going to perform at a concert in San
Francisco when your flight has gotten delayed due to fog.
It's not warm, it's cold the beach. The Beach Boys
need a beach blanket to wrap around them, or at
least full pants, you know. And I it's leave the
board shorts. Like I even wrote it was like what

(47:02):
are they wearing? You know, I was like, what is
happening in this? And yeah, but also, oh my god,
they're so young. They're so young, like I mean compared
to now, Yeah they are, but they are so young,
and yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
They look great. That's exactly how I remember them. You know.
That's that's how they that's how they are forever embedded
into my brain. It's just just like that. So Carl
asks if there's a DJ Tanner here, and DJ introduces herself.
Al tells her, oh, we hear you're not coming to
the concert bon Jovi in town. M DJ tells them, well,

(47:38):
it's a long story, but Bruce responds, we've got time, yeah,
as X band does before a big show, right to
stop by a stranger's house. Yeah, we got time to
walk in and hear everything here a story.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
I got a snack, yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:51):
Brian assures her, well, they never start the show without us.
He's got a point, that's very true, And Mike tells
the group let's order a veggetarian pizza.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
But you see, I was just saying we needed need
a snack.

Speaker 1 (48:06):
And Mike love H is a vegetarian in real life,
so this.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
That's right he wanted to Yeah, I made the point
of it being vegetarian.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
No meat, No meat on that pizza. Yep. So Stuff
walks up to the group and asks who are these guys.
Jesse introduces her to the legendary Beach Boys, and she responds,
big boys, such a great delivery of that line.

Speaker 2 (48:28):
Yes, but I'm not sure what it meant.

Speaker 1 (48:30):
I don't it was well, they're not little boys. She
was expecting like kids her age.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
Oh like, and they're like, they're okay, got it. I
was like, I didn't under like it was. I don't
know why. I didn't like it wasn't real, okay.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
Just like you said three minutes ago, like beach men, right,
that's true.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
Beach man right.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
Very big boys, right, very big boys. But it's such
a funny delivery. And Jesse quickly puts his hand over
Stephanie's mouth, which is so funny, and Mike responds, cute kid.
So we have a quick commercial, brain and then we're
right back in the living room where the Tanner family
is singing Kokomo with the Beach Boys as they're all

(49:06):
gathered on the couch. Jody, you're singing your little heart out.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
I'm so in off clap him like, yeah in it.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
I can distinctly hear your voice, even though there's a
bunch of people singing. I can hear your voice, So
you are PROJECTO.

Speaker 2 (49:22):
I was also the only five year old girl in
a mostly like room, in a room full of mostly
men singing so yeah, yeah, it's the Beach Boys.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
I stood out, Yes, yes you did, and in a
great way too, thank you.

Speaker 2 (49:36):
It was I had a great time. Like I said,
I always loved the music on.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
The show, and I'm sure you had no clue. Just
how impossible, like who does who sings with the Beach
Boys casually? You know, like what an incredible I knew.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
I definitely knew who the Beach Boys were. I was.
I mean, I was a fan. I love their music.
I mean, you know, uh, I it was exciting, but
I didn't again, didn't quite get the enormity of just
how successful and how popular and how iconic they they
were at the time. And yeah, I was just like, hey, cool,
let's sit on a couch and sing.

Speaker 1 (50:05):
I'm in He was like, oh, who are we having next?

Speaker 2 (50:07):
Note?

Speaker 1 (50:08):
Next week?

Speaker 2 (50:09):
Yeah? I would have been like, great, let's dance it up.
I'm cool, let's do this.

Speaker 1 (50:12):
Yeah, just casual celebrities in the house. So Jesse exclaims,
this is great. We're hanging out with the Beach Boys,
We're singing, eating pizza. You guys want to come up
and see my room.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
Like such a little kid moments, such a little kid,
My rooms so excited.

Speaker 1 (50:28):
Yep. Joey pulls Jesse away and convinces him, hey, this
is their big chance to show the band their jingle.
Jesse agrees, Okay, he's going to give it a shot.
Joey once again found a way to sneakly get the
tape into Jesse's coat pocket, and Mike stands up just
as Jesse is about to approach him, and Mike tells
the family it's been a great evening and for once,

(50:51):
nobody bugged us to listen to some song they've written,
and and Jesse quickly throws the tape over his shoulder
and Joey catches it without hesitation.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
It's very great.

Speaker 1 (51:03):
I'm like, how much did they rehearse that? It was
done so well and so smoothly. Great stuff. Jesse pats
Mike on the shoulder and laughs and saying, oh he
hates when that happens.

Speaker 2 (51:14):
Carl as softly familiar with the Beach Boys, you know,
I mean, I know John actually knew them and stuff,
but like it is sort of a strange. You're like, wow,
you just like, hey.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
Buddy putting his arm around him, you know, yeah, yeah, Hey,
they've shared a pizza. They are good friends by now
that's true.

Speaker 2 (51:30):
Once you've shared a pizza with someone.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
It's yeah, it's a different experience. Carl asks DJ who
she'll be taken with her to the concert. She hesitates
and Al calls for a beach boy huddle and they
all get together and sing a quick little tune. Now,
this reminds me of Fullerhouse the New Kids. When the
New Kids on the Block were on Fullerhouse, they did
New Kids huddle in the limo that you would have, right.

(51:54):
I was like, that's a trend. They have musical bands
and then the bands have huddles.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
And the bands have huddles, and the huddles involve singing. Yeah,
and they all sang don't you can sing?

Speaker 1 (52:04):
Or just did? But yes, it's definitely a that was
now I think that was a callback to this episode. Yeah,
so excited it was. Yeah, Okay, so they the beach
boys are huddling, they're all singing a quick little tune
before Bruce says they've talked it over and they would
like the whole family to be their guests. So exciting.

(52:25):
The family thanks them, and Michelle exclaims cocomo. Brian shouts hey,
a request, and then the band and the Tanner family
all break into a Cocomo jam session again. Yep, the
acoustic jam session of Cocomo cuts perfectly to a live
performance of the song at their concert. Oh my goodness,

(52:49):
this is just everything. This is the pinnacle of this episode.
The concert scene set this up for us.

Speaker 2 (52:56):
Like I said, I was having the best time watch
this sitting here in my office just like like I'm
so into it. I loved it and watching that and
remembering it was so exciting, like we it was. There
was such a vibe of and it was also I
want to say, like the first I mean, we never

(53:18):
shot like at a concert before, you know what I mean, Like,
we never stage. This is yeah, we left the sound stage,
which is always a scary proposition for a sitcom because
you get in your little routine and your multiicam and
you know what you're doing, and then you'd take them
outside and it goes crazy. But this was like beyond.
We were basically inserting ourselves into their concert. Oh yeah,

(53:40):
and they were, Yeah, they were. They were playing at
the coliseum. They were playing at the USC Coliseum down
here in La. It was not a San Francisco, actual
San Francisco concert. But the USC colors and the forty
nine ers colors are kind of close enough that like

(54:01):
you could almost buy if you just didn't look at
the you know, Tommy the Trojan head on the giant
billboard behind them, and all the people in USC sweaters
and sweatshirts and hats and all of that. If you
didn't look at that, you were like, oh, Joline, San Francisco,
so cool.

Speaker 1 (54:15):
And according to my very limited research, so this was
a one hour concert after the USC game against California.
And I don't know why, but the okay, the Beach
Boys are gonna put on an hour long concert again.

Speaker 2 (54:28):
Cocomo it was they were, It was Cocomo was they
were doing a bunch of press in relation to the
song that came out with the movie, because the movie
was doing really well, I think, and that that was
like because it was all kind of around that same time. Yeah,
and oh and yeah, that was I didn't remember what
it was. I was like, was it a why was

(54:48):
it a concert?

Speaker 1 (54:49):
Like?

Speaker 2 (54:49):
Why? Why were why were there cheerleaders there? I wasn't.
I was confused on that. True, So it was you know,
of course it never explained, but yeah, like they cut
to the crowd and in the front it's like it's
just the entire US cheerleading squad and you're like, oh,
phantom attention.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
Attention to them? Yeah, right right, Well, there's like hula
dancers on the stage, like anything goes. This is just
an everything but the kitchen sink in this comment.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
Right, which I was like, Oh, I don't that feels Yeah,
it was the eighties. Eighties, But I have to have
questions too. Is Cocomo realplace?

Speaker 1 (55:23):
Oh? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (55:24):
Is Cocomo?

Speaker 1 (55:26):
Is there a producer on hand who can tell us?

Speaker 2 (55:27):
I don't know Cocomo is an actual island.

Speaker 1 (55:30):
You think it's an actual island.

Speaker 2 (55:31):
I do think it's an actual island. I think it's
an actual island. I'm gonna go.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
Okay, I'm here in the Stress.

Speaker 2 (55:39):
Indies, I don't know, somewhere.

Speaker 1 (55:40):
Somewhere in that region. Okay, let's let's let's go.

Speaker 2 (55:45):
It is real, but but not off the Florida Keys.
But that's what according to Jensen.

Speaker 1 (55:50):
Okay, why don't I see Jens?

Speaker 3 (55:53):
That was just a Jodie. Okay, Cocomo is a real place,
but not off the Florida Keys. It's actually six places,
because there is a Cocomo in Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Colorado, Hawaii,
and Texas.

Speaker 1 (56:06):
Wait, there's a Cocomo.

Speaker 2 (56:07):
You mean there's a Cokemo, but it's not an island.

Speaker 3 (56:10):
To which it's not.

Speaker 2 (56:12):
No, you can tell me where you want to, like,
the song.

Speaker 3 (56:14):
Says, no, there there there is a Cocomo Charters in Sarasota,
which is not what they're referencing. But the music video
was filmed in Florida, so it goes back and forth here.

Speaker 1 (56:23):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (56:24):
Interesting, But they also said there is a Cocmo in
the Fiji Islands and a community named Cokemo in Hawaii.
But these are not what they're referencing. This has got
to be a fictitious.

Speaker 2 (56:32):
Place, Okay, Okay, No, I don't Yeah, I just I
was like I always thought it was. It was. It
was a place because and I certainly pegged it. Wouldn't
have pegged it Indiana. That didn't really feel like the
vibe of the song.

Speaker 3 (56:48):
Not quite as trump They say, Montego, Montego a bunch
of factories.

Speaker 2 (56:55):
Yeah they do, that's true, right, So that makes alternate version, Yeah,
all right, the hip hop.

Speaker 3 (57:00):
Version Miller and.

Speaker 2 (57:05):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (57:06):
Yes, thank you, thank you, we appreciate you. Oh my god,
Now I know.

Speaker 2 (57:11):
Now, coke Cocomo's a lie. Cocomo's a lie you unless
you live in Coco, Indiana or Hawaii or wherever Colorado.
I'm so what now, I now I have so many Cokemo.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
So many questions, and I want to go visit. I
want to go visit all of the Cocomos. Please, let's
go on tour this podcast.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
What if there was a Cocos in Cocoa, Cokemo, Coca Cocama.

Speaker 1 (57:36):
I feel like Indiana has a lot of cocoa are similar.

Speaker 2 (57:41):
I think Cocos was kind of a California thing. And
for those of you that don't know, I don't even
know if coco still exists anymore. But it was a restaurant.

Speaker 1 (57:47):
There is a yes, there is Okay, my dad likes
to go for breakfast.

Speaker 2 (57:52):
I was gonna say that failed that filled that tracks years.
But yeah, I I wow, I'm yas that Cocomo is
a lie. That I was, that I was sold by
the Beach Boys and some uh probably culturally appropriating hula girls.
I just I'm I'm it's a great but okay, all that.

Speaker 1 (58:15):
Aside, this is an education was fake. It's a fake
not in real place.

Speaker 2 (58:19):
If if if I were gonna name an island to wanna,
you know, baby, where do we go down to? Cocomo
Cocomo feels it feels like coconut Like more coconuts, Cocamo, Cocomo,
Coconut Mo, Coco Cocomo. Well not yeah, like, but that's yeah,
I could, Okay, I'll give them that.

Speaker 1 (58:38):
Okay. They repurpose the city of Cocomo in Indiana and
repurposed it into a trop.

Speaker 2 (58:44):
If there is a cocos in Cocomo, Indiana, please tell us,
Please tell us if there is going, we are building one,
because if you build it, they will come to Cocomo.

Speaker 1 (58:57):
This is really going. This is going somewhere I didn't expect. Yeah,
in Indiana. Today I learned just to Indiana.

Speaker 2 (59:05):
That's where I wasn't expecting.

Speaker 1 (59:06):
But this is an educational podcast people.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
Yes. Also, when running up on stage, something that you
don't see is I tripped getting on to the stage
at the coliseum. I'm pretty sure actually I did trip
and fall. I think it's the part where like you
see us running up on the stage and Bob has
me by the hand and I and we're like running
up and going up the steps, and I think just

(59:29):
as it like we get to the stage, we clear
camera and it cuts. But I'm pretty sure that's about
where I tripped and like went sailing forward. But I
think luckily Bob had me by the hand kind of
you know, chanked me up. Yeah, but I vividly remember
I was like, oh, yeah, I remember that time I
fell down at the coliseum in front of like twenty

(59:49):
five thousand people. Yeah, it was cool.

Speaker 1 (59:51):
That is so unbrand for you. And it's like, no, Joey,
we can't do a take two of this concert.

Speaker 2 (59:56):
It's right, And yeah, I can't that one and done.
That's it. You fell too bad, that's it. But it
was so much fun and you can just see all
of us together having such a great time, like it
was such a fun family memory to be up there,
and you know, I I remember the excitement of shooting it.

(01:00:20):
I remember it being like, you know, there's again that
sort of live show excitement. And I don't really think
that we had done anything at all like that. This
is not nothing nothing, yeah, and nothing that we had
shot that was like you get one chance to do
it and this is it, you know, and you're in
a concert and go for it. I think I remember
as a kid being like, oh my gosh, oh my god.

(01:00:41):
It was probably why I fell down.

Speaker 1 (01:00:42):
Yeah, I don't straight up and then you don't screw
up and I fall.

Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
But it was so much fun and and just what
a joyful experience and like to watch. We were having
such a great time up there. It was, you know,
second season of the show. Yeah, so people were like,
people knew kind of knew who the Tanners were point question. Yeah,

(01:01:06):
I think, yeah, Tanner, the people knew. I mean, it
wasn't like, I don't know how huge the show had
gotten at that point, but we were doing you know,
we obviously got picked up for a second season, so
we were semi familiar.

Speaker 1 (01:01:18):
Okay, okay, So people knew that they were taping an
episode or a scene from the full House.

Speaker 2 (01:01:24):
Probably about as much as people knew at the Giants
game when we.

Speaker 1 (01:01:30):
Were oh for Fuller for Fuller House.

Speaker 2 (01:01:32):
When they were like, yeah, we're taping a show here,
and then I went out and acted like a crazy
person and all this, you know, for the show, and
people were very confused. So I'm sure there were about
ten people who paid attention to the announcement, and then
the rest of the people were.

Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
Like, who are these who is this?

Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
Who are these people? Why'd that kid fall down? What's happening?

Speaker 1 (01:01:49):
Yeah, what is happening right now?

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
What is happening? But we sang Barbara Ann, which so great,
such a great song, so.

Speaker 1 (01:01:56):
Great, it's so catchy. Although I did think it was
bopper and for like until yes, brand I thought it
was bopper An. That's like for my whole life to
know it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
Was, well, you just discovered this when.

Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
Well, okay, and it's like the last ten years sometime that. Yeah,
but well into adulthood, oh well, into adulthood. Yeah, but
I do this. I mistake lyrics all the time.

Speaker 2 (01:02:19):
I love that for you, But I what did bopper
An mean?

Speaker 1 (01:02:24):
It?

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
Like what is like, what is.

Speaker 1 (01:02:25):
Anything bopper And like she's bopping she's bopping her head
An likes this tune and so she's boppin', boppin' Anne
bopper Ann, she's popping her head and it makes sense,
you know, sure? Yeah, yeah, just ride this ride, this
journey with me, Jody.

Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
I am along for this ride. I'm I'm bopping along
even that's you know what I was bopper Anne when
I was listening.

Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
To this, Oh you're so great. You were just dancing
your little heart out. Candice is just she's dancing like
there's no hesitation, Like no.

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
She's so much fun, such a great dancer. The outfits
that Candice and I were wearing, like I said, we okay,
I can't, Like I said, I don't remember if we
bought them like and for ourselves and use them for
the show or vice versas. Probably that we got them
for the show, but our wardrobe department, Geina Traconis and Roberta. Hayes,

(01:03:21):
were very excited for the concert because they knew they
could do something really fun. And oh yeah, and so
I remember going to a store in down like Venice Beach,
Santa Monica called Nana's. And I think Nana's might still
be there or maybe not, but in a different location.

(01:03:42):
But anyway, it's probably closed down by now. Everything is
closed down. But it was like the cool spot to
go if you were like wanted eighties gear.

Speaker 1 (01:03:55):
Okay, okay, So if you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:56):
See I'm wearing like, I have like a red like
like little shirt on, but I have a black petticoat
on okay, which was do you remember the the days
of petticoats like in the Madonna earrow? Oh yeah, yeah,
where you would wear like a petticoat, and then they
had like these like you kind of put a skirt

(01:04:18):
over the top of it if you wanted. Okay, And
so Roberta took me to Nana's. And Roberta is a legend.
She literally has it still to this day and is
like in her almost ninety, I think, and has a legend.
Her nameplate necklace is legendary on it, and she is
every bit legendary. Purple hair, amazing, awesome, But she shopped

(01:04:39):
there all the time. Roberta always had you know, dyed
hair and rings and all black and boots and this,
you know. And I loved her style. I thought she
was the coolest person, so cool. I wrote a paper
in sixth grade about Roberta Hayes that she still has
hanging on her fridge to this day. You're kidding. I
wrote a paper about her and about how how she

(01:05:00):
changed my idea, like write about someone who changed your
your idea of like not judging a book by its cover.
And I talked about how you know, she didn't look
like anybody I'd ever met before in my life, and
yet I thought she was so cool because she was
so unapologetically herself and she just you know, I I

(01:05:22):
and she was so kind and sweet, but she was like,
you know, she just knew herself. And yeah, I wrote
this whole thing about about her interest she must do.

Speaker 1 (01:05:29):
But anyway, so honored that you wrote this.

Speaker 2 (01:05:31):
Guess she still has it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:32):
Yeah, I want this, I got I need a copy.

Speaker 2 (01:05:35):
And I I was her grandson's boss when I worked
in in treatment. Randomly I high I did a job
interview and I had and he goes, I think you
know my grandma. I was like, huh. He was like yeah, ROBERTA. Hayese.
I was like, oh my god. Yeah. So anyway, small
world that all you know came back again in a
totally different scenario. Connects back to full house but small yeap.

(01:06:00):
The world is small. The house is full. See it's
up there now. But I just remember, like that was
I just felt so cool. But she took us there.
And then the outfits that I had on in the
Beach Boys episode, and that Candice Haad on the mustard
yellow jacket with the shoulder pads and stuff. We also

(01:06:21):
got invited to around that time to go to Jeremy
Oh gosh.

Speaker 1 (01:06:27):
Oh, Jeremy Miller.

Speaker 2 (01:06:28):
He was the Jeremy Miller. Yes, I'm like I wanted
to say Mill. Okay, Jeremy Miller's birthday party, which was
at the George Michael concert. And this was the George
Michael like Faith era, like the the you know, the
crotch on the cover of the album, the jeans, the whole. Yeah,
great songs, just great songs. And he invited a group

(01:06:49):
of like kids on other shows that we were kind
of all friends with to go to the George Michael concert.
And I got to wear that outfit. But for the
George Michael concert, not only did I have that the
red off the shoulder and the little gloves if you noticed,
I had some little black like fingerless gloves.

Speaker 1 (01:07:05):
I did notice that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:06):
So a very big eighties moment. Yes, I had a
hat like a black sort of flat brimmed like it
was epic and again very eighties, and that was what
I wore to the George Michael concert. And John was
there at the George Michael concert and we were all
backstage and it was like a meet and greet with

(01:07:29):
George Michael and we were all back there. I was like,
I don't want to bother. I don't. Meanwhile, it's like
a line of people and everyone's going through a meeting
like that was literally the point of going back there
was to get pictures.

Speaker 1 (01:07:40):
Okay, it's like I don't want to.

Speaker 2 (01:07:41):
I don't want to. My mom was like, go get
a picture Candison John, are going to get you a
picture with him? Yeah, Candason John. To this day, Canaison
John had a great picture with him and I would
not take the picture Jode, And I know.

Speaker 1 (01:07:52):
I regretted this regret Oh my goodness. Wow, well it's
up there.

Speaker 2 (01:07:57):
It's up there. But yeah, it's definitely one that I
think about. Off were like, man O cool, But yeah
I did. But that outfit you got a lot of use,
to a lot of use, and I seem to remember
I got to keep like the petticoat and the outfit,
and I definitely played dress up with it a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:08:14):
You did.

Speaker 2 (01:08:14):
There was a lot. Yeah, I took it home and
it was it was in my dress up costume beIN
just you.

Speaker 1 (01:08:20):
Look so cute. You you could just tell there. It
was pure joy it wasn't even really it was like
pure joy. You guys were so into it.

Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
It was on all of our faces, John's days. But
I mean the Beach truly, the Beach Like. It wasn't
one of those things where you watch a show and
you're like, oh, they kind of you know, shoehorned this
band in to make it. I mean, and because John
had a relationship with them, and you know, Gary had
played with them, and John and Gary, you know, there

(01:08:50):
was this they knew each other already, so it wasn't
like weird and sort of like who are these people?
And it really it just made for such a fun time.
And like the Beach Boys have always been around and
their you know, their their wives and their families would
come to set, and you know, we see him at
John's house all the time. Again, the Beach Boys, Beach

(01:09:10):
part of the extended full House family and it's wild.

Speaker 1 (01:09:12):
Oh and it all started with this episode. It's I
love that Bob is wearing a suit on stage. It's
very Danny Tanner. He must yeah, he wasn't wearing that
suit at home in the living room in the previous scene,
so he must.

Speaker 2 (01:09:25):
Not have changed changed.

Speaker 1 (01:09:29):
She changed into a suit concert, DJ had.

Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
To change into her you know, shoulder pads she played
in the football game right before actually, and then she
just jumped on stage with everyone. Uh yeah, the USC
football game that took place right before it.

Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
Came in very handy multipurpose.

Speaker 2 (01:09:47):
Yeah, it was great, man, And I am sure that
audience was so drunk by the time we all got
up on stage, they wouldn't have cared who was up there.
They were did you see the audience shocks there? Just
it was I mean it was after a USC game, yeah,
they you know, USC games are rowdy, and it's a
it is a fandom. Lots of beer, they lots of yeah,

(01:10:10):
lots of beer, and they it was pretty wild.

Speaker 1 (01:10:14):
Oh man, It's just it's just peak eighties everything about
this whole episode, but this scene in particular is just
so satisfying to watch. Yeah, So I each.

Speaker 2 (01:10:24):
Each episode is like a crazy little time capsule of
eighties you know, randomness.

Speaker 1 (01:10:31):
Fashion music, just and you could.

Speaker 2 (01:10:34):
Really hear us all singing too, Like I could hear
Bob's voice and I you know, as they handed. I'm
pretty sure what they did was they probably recorded all
the audio on all the mics as the concert was
live pulled it and then ask then took the you know,
the sound, and as the shots were going, we're like, okay,
this is a shot of DJ and stuff. Let's you know,

(01:10:54):
got their vocals a little bit more here or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:10:57):
So were you miked, like personally, do you have labs?
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:11:00):
I think we were just yeah, we were just singing
into the I think into the stage microns because we
didn't have any like dialogue or anything.

Speaker 1 (01:11:07):
Yeah, and it probably.

Speaker 2 (01:11:08):
Would have been too much of a mess to try
and yeah, you know, get MIC's up there or get
us with our remote mics and stuff. But but yeah,
it was just all like live mic we were actually singing.

Speaker 1 (01:11:19):
Did you already know the song? Did you already know
bopper An.

Speaker 2 (01:11:22):
Or did you I knew well, I knew bopper and
well uh and also Barbera and their lesser known hit.
And I remember in the eighties, like the fifties and
sixties were like the thing because again everything comes in
like sort of thirty year cycles, right, So like I
remember like friends having fifties so hop birthday the party

(01:11:47):
themes like with little poodle skirts and that was a thing.

Speaker 1 (01:11:50):
Yeah, very I had I had a.

Speaker 2 (01:11:52):
Whole like cassette tape collection of fifties and sixties music
that was you know, Roy Orbison and Buddy Hawley and
just all a little Richard and Beach Boys and all
of that. So I actually, I really, I really liked
the music and it was one of the few like

(01:12:12):
musical genres that sort of me and my mom would
agree on.

Speaker 1 (01:12:16):
Was okay, was Janice? Were your parents in the crowd
or were they there?

Speaker 2 (01:12:21):
I'm sure they were not far or they were probably
as however close they could be to where we were
gonna be, you know, at some point. But I seem
to remember that, like I remember this that our parents were.
I don't know if they were not backstage, but maybe
they were kind of out in the crowd, but they
weren't obviously right up in the front that was all

(01:12:42):
cheerleaders and students and stuff. But they were close. And
I seem to remember like Bob was my you know,
he was like designated care Yeah he was. He had
me by the hand. He was like I got you, yeah,
you know, and because I was pretty little and yeah,
probably completely distracted for sure. Yeah, I'd love to hear
yeah what I mean, I'd love to hear what fans think, like,

(01:13:04):
is it, yes, what they think about the Beach Boys?

Speaker 1 (01:13:06):
Yeah, tell episode. I wonder if for a lot of people,
especially our generation, if this was like their their entry,
their introduction into Beach Boys, you know, if that was
you know, probably.

Speaker 2 (01:13:17):
For like some of the younger general. Yeah, for like kids,
our age and stuff. I'm sure yeah it was. You
know again, it was things that like maybe you know,
parents listened to and we're like, oh, I'm a huge fan,
and then you know, the kids sort of get it.
Osmosis dripping down.

Speaker 1 (01:13:29):
Yeah, oh yeah. I would love to hear what the
fans think about this episode. Please write into our email
or comment on our Instagram.

Speaker 2 (01:13:38):

was a guest at Yeah. I need some sort of
I need a photo of you. I need proof.

Speaker 1 (01:13:58):
Yeah, we need photographic evidences.

Speaker 2 (01:14:00):
I need evidencething. Okay, yeah, ticket something. I don't need
nine thousand emails being like I was there and you're right. No, no, no, no,
Now we.

Speaker 1 (01:14:07):
Need your receipts for all the beers that you consumed.

Speaker 2 (01:14:10):
Yes, that's all right, right, but yeah, I would love
to hear if there was there's anybody out there that
was like I was at that concert and either we
were so excited that the Tanners were getting up there
or they or we wondered, who the hell are these
people that are up there on stage? Or do you
even remember it? You know, on any one of those options.
But I would love to hear from somebody who was
actually there.

Speaker 1 (01:14:31):
Oh man, what a what an epic episode?

Speaker 2 (01:14:34):
It really was. Yeah, and I think they were on.
The Beach Boys were on a couple more like, what
three more episodes.

Speaker 1 (01:14:40):
I feel like I feel like they were, but I don't.
I don't know. I'm I'm eager to keep watching and
find out.

Speaker 2 (01:14:45):
Yeah, me too. I will be very interested to see
because I know they were on, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:14:50):

coming back to John.

Speaker 2 (01:14:55):
Yeah, amazing. Did you have any if you were Oh sorry, no,
I was gonna say, remember the Beach Boy played in
Jeff's backyard. Remember going to Jeff Franklin's I mean this
was in the last ten fifteen year, ten fifteen years,
ten years.

Speaker 1 (01:15:08):
Well, there's always like my love or a random it
is a random well, but they were.

Speaker 2 (01:15:12):
It was like a whole concert. And I think if
I remember, it was right around the time of Loretta's passing. Oh,
I think, but I remember, But I remember John being
there because I was. I hadn't. I think it did
just he just lost his mom or recently, but I
remember him with them. The Beach Boys were there, and
Jeff had a huge stage in his backyard, and you know,
they were playing, and yeah, that's such a just We

(01:15:35):
have continued to attend Beach Boys concerts.

Speaker 1 (01:15:38):
We're still living in house episode.

Speaker 2 (01:15:40):
Yeah. Yeah, the outfit fits me a little differently now,
but the gloves still fit. Yeah, the gloves still fit.
The shirt is not so much.

Speaker 1 (01:15:49):
The petticoat needs some alternation.

Speaker 2 (01:15:51):
It's great. Yeah, it's just everything that hangs over it. Now.

Speaker 1 (01:15:53):
Now, Oh, come on, do you have any everywhere your looks?
I mean, this is such a big episode. We're we've
been looking everywhere, but do you have any.

Speaker 2 (01:16:02):
My my everywhere you look actually was if you if
you look everywhere at the concert, you will see usc sweatshirts.
That is a good That was my thing was everywhere
you look was like everyone look at the concert and
and it's very very clear, yeah that this is in
no way, shape or form anywhere near San Francisco or

(01:16:26):
a San Francisco team or yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:16:28):
Well the show couldn't afford to outfit the entire crowd
in uh beach boy attire or that giants are you know?
So right?

Speaker 2 (01:16:36):
That's so funny, but yeah, that was my Everywhere you
look was Tommy Trojan in the background of.

Speaker 1 (01:16:41):
Like the there's a groom shop.

Speaker 2 (01:16:43):
We're all singing and it's just like the USC logo
in the back and it says like colisseum and you're like, oh, like,
don't pay attention. Yeah, yeah, this is the day is
before you know, people were looking at things like that.
Did you have an everywhere you look?

Speaker 3 (01:16:55):
I do?

Speaker 1 (01:16:55):
And it's kind of a repeat of last week's because
in the Wake Up San Francisco set you see our
real life stage manager Keith Richmond once again putting a
microphone on Bob. Oh yeah, yeah, Keith is now like
a recurring Was he.

Speaker 2 (01:17:08):
The one that handed him the note? Probably too.

Speaker 1 (01:17:10):
Yeah, we only see the arm, but yeah, I bet
that was the arm as well. So yeah, we're just
using we're using the the sound stage, we're using our
stage managers.

Speaker 2 (01:17:19):
This is very everyone's in it. This is what happens
when you first start a show, though the budget is low,
you just bring in anyone you can, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:17:27):
Brian Cale, our dialogue coaches, inspire extra people.

Speaker 2 (01:17:30):
You're like, look, we're paying you anyway, can you just
do this little thing? You know.

Speaker 1 (01:17:33):
Yeah, today you would have to pay them extra to
do stuff like that, but at the eighties, just throw
them in there.

Speaker 2 (01:17:39):
I'm sure the Union has had something to say about it,
but I loved that they included so much of the concert.
And I think we came on and we did. I
think we did like two songs with them.

Speaker 1 (01:17:50):
We did in the credits roll, you guys are still singing,
You're singing fun, fun, Fun.

Speaker 2 (01:17:53):
Oh. I think we did like two or three songs
with them, Barbara and fun, fun, fun and something else. Okay,
maybe maybe surfing Safari or something like that. So cool,
but yeah, and all of our you know, all of
our families came. But it was for all intents and purposes.
It was a basically a tape night. It was a
working we were there working and having to do you know. Yeah,

(01:18:14):
all of that kind of stuff. So it wasn't just
hanging out of a concert and then you know, jumping
on stage was it was planned out.
