Oh Mylanta/HolyChalupas: A Full House Fuller House Podcast

Happy Full House Friday Everyone,

Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast.

Today, I'm covering Full House S1E8: Jesse's Girl which aired on November 6, 1987.

In this episode on a stormy night, the family is up telling a bedtime story about a girl that caught the eye of both Jesse and Joey. The girl was being tutored by Jesse, but fell hard for Joey.

I enjoyed this episode.

Let me start out by saying this about Jesse, when he falls for a girl, he falls really HARD.

Sadly, this girl, Corrina Spicer does reciprocate, she does however find an attraction to Joey based on the way he interacts with the girls and cares about them. If we can say one thing that defines Joey it's his ability to make people laugh.

One quality above all that Corrina finds attractive in a man is a sense of humor, I would definitely agree with that statement.

I felt that Jesse came out too strong with her especially when she didn't share his feelings in return. He even treated her to a picnic in the wine district and going down by the bay and other extravagant activities that stretched his pocket book.

All though Corrina could have been honest and told Jesse "I'm flattered but I'm not interested in you that way".

Let's remember she came to Jesse for guitar lessons which he's not a very good teacher, because he's starts hitting on her the moment she comes into the room, saying she has pretty eyes and then he serenades her with an Elvis song leaning into her face as he sings.

If I were Corrina I would be uncomfortable with that.

Over all Corrina and Joey are the better match, because Joey doesn't push, he's just himself and that's what she falls for.

Join me next week when we meet another woman of Jesse's Ladies Robin Winslow in Full House S1E14: Half a Love Story, which aired on January 15, 1988.

In this episode Jesse uses baby Michelle to get a date with one of Danny's co-workers.

Now granted she and Jesse didn't go out and decided to just be friends but she still counts because she did agree to go on a date with him.

Also we meet an on again off again girlfriend of Jesse's named Jill who has something surprising in common with Robin.

Have a great weekend and I hope you enjoy the podcast episode.

Happy Full House Friday Everyone,

Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast.

Today, I kick off a new Jesse Series for January 2023, Jesse's Ladies and I'm starting with Full House S1E5: Sea Cruise, which aired on October 16, 1987. Basically covering all the ladies that came before Becky.

In this episode Danny's all-male fishing trip turns into a love-boat cruise.

The girls spend the night at Grandma's leaving the guys with an empty house for the first time ever.

Danny uses this opportunity to suggest they go on a midnight fishing trip down at the marina, just the guys.

However Joey and Jesse have other plans of the lady variety, but Danny digs in his heels and plays the guilt card of he's not ready to meet anyone new, so Joey and Jesse give in and they go down to the marina for what they think is a guys only night out, but boy are they surprised.

Jesse is reunited with an old flame, famous Rockstar Roxana who brings along her back up singers Yvonne and Vega, and we also have the Captain of the boat Neptune's Bride, none other than Captain Jack's granddaughter Caroline.

Danny's turns the co-ed boat trip into a sulk fest with his attitude while Jesse and Joey are over the moon with the female intrusion.

I enjoyed this episode, however Danny's stick in the mud attitude got on my nerves.

I mean you can do a boys night out anywhere anytime. I do agree that Caroline was coming on a little too strong to Danny with the constant hugging and touching his shoulder clearly making him uncomfortable, but she was a sweet lady once he told her they could be friends.

Jesse has to get this jealous chip off his shoulder, just because Roxanna found success outside of your band and you're still playing dive bars. Maybe try writing your own songs and not singing covers all the time. So you're 24 and haven't hit it big in the music industry there's still time to have a number 1 hit in Japan down the road.

Join me next week when we meet the next lady of Jesse's, Corrina Spicer in Full House S1E8: Jesse's Girl, which aired on November 6, 1987.

In this episode on a stormy night, the family is up telling a bedtime story about a girl that caught the eye of both Jesse and Joey. The girl was being tutored by Jesse, but fell hard for Joey.

Have a great weekend everyone and I hope you enjoy the podcast!

Happy Full House Friday Everyone,

Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast.

Today, I conclude the Jesse & Michelle Double Feature for the month of December with Full House S6E18: Please Don't Touch The Dinosaur, which aired on February 23, 1993.

In this episode Jesse and Danny both get volunteered to take Michelle's class on a field trip to the museum. Jesse's rowdier bunch of kids cause trouble and end up destroying a dinosaur skeleton. Meanwhile, Stephanie and D.J. get into an argument over who owns a baseball card worth $2,000.

I enjoyed this episode. Michelle caught in the middle of having to choose between Danny's group and Jesse's group on a trip to the Museum.

Honestly, it's not a hard choice for her, she always chooses Jesse over Danny, and this time Danny takes it a little too personally and starts lashing out at Jesse's chaperon skills after his group of rowdy kids causes chaos of alarming proportions including destroying a million dollar dinosaur skeleton. In this episode Michelle actually accepts responsibly for knocking over the dinosaur after she and Denise are playing tag.

Aside from that fun time, DJ and Stephanie go head to head arguing over an old baseball card of Joey's that may or may not be worth ten thousand dollars (it's been in his car for years, I don't think it's worth one hundred dollars if Joey's car is kept anything like his bedroom closet). Stephanie found it while cleaning out his trunk to earn money for a new bike.

DJ's obsession with limo's is a bit much, but we all know she got to hang out in Tommy's Page's limo back in Season 5 when she took him on a tour of San Francisco in the episode Crushed.

I hope you all enjoy the podcast episode and join me in the new year 2023 for a new Jesse Series to kick off 2023.

Happy Full House Friday Everyone,

Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast.

Today, I covered the first episode in the Jesse & Michelle Double Feature which I chose for December, Full House S5E19: The Devil Made Me Do It, which aired on February 18, 1992.

In this episode the temptation to fiddle with Jesse's forbidden music equipment is too great for Michelle; but when Jesse lands her in hot water for it, the little devil in her wants to burn him. Elsewhere, Kimmy and Stephanie are at each other's throats, and it's up to D.J. to referee the proceedings.

I really liked this episode!

Jesse and Michelle's relationship is put to the test when Michelle plays with Jesse's music equipment in his studio after he recently forbade her from doing so.

She calls him "Uncle Tattletale" after Jesse explains to Danny what happened. Michelle of course is punished and she chooses to retaliate after being visited by her consciences in physical form, "Good Michelle" and "Bad Michelle".

It's a battle of wills as "Bad Michelle" encourages her to run away from home to teach "Uncle Tattletale" a lesson and "Good Michelle" tries to reign Michelle in and keep her from going over to the dark side.

Michelle winds up at Teddy's house where we meet his family including his sister (played by his real life older twin sisters Tia and Tamara Mowry) who would later star in their own TGIF ABC sitcom Sister, Sister.

I immediately recognized Teddy's dog Sparky from earlier in Season 4 and also the 1992 Movie Beethoven.

I also recognize the "Old Maid" Card game that Michelle and Teddy are playing because we had the same cards at my Grandparents house. The Old Maid card had a crease down the middle and we could always tell who had it whenever we played.

Jesse has a creative way to teach Michelle a lesson of her own to make her think twice about running away again and I for one think it was brilliant.

On the Plot B side, DJ is sick of her best friend Kimmy and her younger sister Stephanie arguing all the time, so she forces a sit down with them until they can agree.

It backfires in DJ's face, because the one thing that Kimmy and Steph agree on is how DJ's habits annoy them beyond belief to the point where DJ feels like the third wheel when Kimmy invites Steph out for some frozen yogurt.

Join me later this month when I cover the finale episode in the Jesse & Michelle Double Feature, Full House S6E18: Please, Don't Touch The Dinosaur, which aired on February 23, 1993.

In this episode Jesse and Danny both get volunteered to take Michelle's class on a field trip to the museum. Jesse's rowdier bunch of kids cause trouble and end up destroying a dinosaur skeleton. Meanwhile, Stephanie and D.J. get into an argument over who owns a baseball card worth $2,000.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hey Full House Podcast Listeners,

Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast.

Today, I covered Full House S5E24: Girls Will Be Boys, which aired on April 28, 1992.

In this episode When her best friend Teddy ignores her for being a girl, Michelle decides she wants to become a boy instead. Meanwhile, Jesse gets a part on Joey's TV show, and DJ catches Stephanie listening in on her phone call.

This was a good episode. I really liked it.

Michelle loses Teddy (temporarily) to Aaron (Mr. Bossypants) when Aaron starts hassling Teddy about playing/hanging out with girls which apparently at age 5 is something boys just aren't allowed to do (according to Aaron).

Teddy who will not stand up to Aaron follows his lead leaving Michelle to ponder, what do I do now, since I lost my best friend?

She takes it upon herself to start dressing like a boy since that's the only way to get Teddy to hang with her.

During a play session of playing guns (can't get more 90's then that, along with Michelle's idea of playing house)Teddy gets fake injured and Michelle morphs into rescue nurse mode.

Upon seeing this Aaron calls her out on not being a "real boy" since boys can't be nurses and he takes Teddy who looks at Michelle and says "Nice try Michelle", like she was attempting to fool him. She was desperate to hang out and changing her clothes and attitude was the only way Teddy would respond.

Danny explains that what's going on with Teddy is a stage or a phase and he'll grow out of it, so in the mean time she just has to ride this out.

Danny starts to tell Michelle that one day boys will want to hang out with her all the time and that's when Danny goes through his "keep away from my daughter stage".

This statement (which I get was played for laughs) just goes way over Michelle's head, she looks at Danny and tells him " I just want my best friend back".

Luckily for her, Teddy has finally tired of Aaron's bossiness but when he tried to be friends again Michelle has already tied herself to her new best friend Denise. Michelle explains to Teddy he is going through a stage and doesn't want to play with girls and that's why they can't hang out. Teddy begs Michelle to take him back and she relents happily cheering "Yay, the stage is over".

All the three kids ice out Aaron who is now friendless until they give in and tell him we're playing hide and seek and you're up first, so go hide and we'll find you.

Michelle whispers to Teddy "Maybe"

We can't forget DJ's payback on Stephanie for listening on her phone calls. She makes Steph so paranoid that DJ is out to get her that Stephanie jumps whenever DJ comes up behind her and freaks when she thinks DJ is going to feed her a poisonous brownie.

I have to hand it to DJ, this plan was brilliant!

Have a great week everyone!

I hope you enjoy this Podcast Episode!

Happy Turkey Day Full House Podcast Listeners,

Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast.

Today, I covered the last episode in the Michelle and Friends Series, Full House S8E4: I've Got A Secret, which aired on October 18, 1994.

In this episode Danny causes problems for Michelle when she joins a secret club. D.J. becomes jealous when Kimmy dates her former boyfriend. Jesse and Rebecca agree to divulge the names of their past loves.

I enjoyed this episode, but I feel this is just a repeat of the same lesson in Be Your Own Best Friend from Season 7, when Michelle gets dumped by Teddy and Denise as friends.

But honestly, the reasoning or rules for how to obtain this Super Fortress are beyond ridiculous. It's $39, no kid in 1994 under the age of 10 has that kind of dough unless it's a holiday or their birthday or they managed to save their allowance for months on end and not spend any of it (highly unlikely).

Also if one of them does manage to get this crazy popular (think 80's Cabbage Patch Doll/90's Tickle Me Elmo) play figure set, then said kid gets to be president of the newly formed club Mighty Mutant Super Kids (sounds like a mash up of Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and maybe Captain Planet thrown in for the earth saver kids, like Derek, he looks like he cares about the environment and Michelle too.)

Danny flat out turns her down when she asks for the money and Joey has supposed intel that a toy store is getting a shipment of these hard to get toys because he's got his name on a few waiting lists.

Danny spills the beans about the club to Michelle's friends when he brings them popcorn. The kids all turn on Michelle and remind her she was sworn to secrecy about revealing the club's existence to the outside world (meaning adults, siblings, other kids etc.)She gets kicked out in less than 24 hours of the club being created.

Lisa practically forces Michelle to rip out her toenails and eat them. (GAH!, I'm still gagging from that).

BTW, she didn't have too.

Danny, Jesse and Joey figure the only way to get Michelle back in the club is to get this toy. They get to the store and it's like Black Friday on steroids.

There's trampling, stomping on backs, beatings with purses.

The guys are lucky they made it out in one piece,everyone's safe (except for Jesse's comb Mr. Goodpart and some of Danny's ribs).

Danny is desperate so he goes the route of Andy's Mom from the 1980's horror movie Child's Play and pays a guy in the alley for a Super Fortress (not a Good Guy doll).

When he delivers it, it's not wrapped in plastic and the other kids discover to their horror that it's a cheap knock off playset with U.S. President Play Figures instead of their favorite MMSK characters like Super Mandy and the Evil Lord Fungo.

Michelle's fed up and threatens to start her own club with her and only her (maybe Comet can join)when the kids start laughing at Danny's torn and dirty shirt and whatever else he want through to get this thing. He paid $75 (that's $75 in 1994, may as well have been $150) to a guy in an alley for this cheap imitation.

Danny tells the kids the whole point of having a club is to hang out because you all like each other. They agree with him and let Michelle back in the club.

Side Plot with Jesse and Becky making each other jealous with lists of past loves was not that interesting and just ate up screen time.

Have a great holiday everyone (if you celebrate it)!

Happy Full House Friday Everyone,

Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast,

Today, I covered the next episode in the Michelle and Friends Series, with Full House S7E21: Be Your Own Best Friend, which aired on April 5, 1994.

In this episode Danny suggests Michelle's class do a project of drawing their best friend. But when Michelle can't decide whether to draw Teddy or Denise, they quit being friends with her.

I enjoyed this episode.

It was cool to see Teddy return to the show after a year and a half away. His last episode S6E2: The Long Goodbye which aired on September 29, 1992 and then this episode S7E21: Be Your Own Best Friend which aired on April 5, 1994.

He's been away for a while. I wonder if Michelle and Teddy exchanged letters over that time. My guess is no, otherwise she probably would have known he was moving back. Unless he wanted to surprise her and boy, was she.

Poor Denise feels left in the dust, actually no, she fights for her new first place best friend role, that is until she and Teddy decide to compete for the top spot of best friend in Michelle's life.

Granted Michelle doesn't make it easy on either of them, as they start offering whatever they have on them, Teddy offers up his Snickles Candy (which are fake and look like Nerds Candy)(a box that has been in his pocket all day, gross!)

Denise offers up her scrunchie (she was really reaching the bottom of the barrel there since she takes it right out of her hair and hands it to Michelle),Michelle starts eyeing Denise's Jasmine pencil case and then things take a turn as Denise wises up and tell Michelle she doesn't care if the pencil case would go great with Michelle's Abu Eraser, she's not giving it to her, Teddy follows suit and then the two team up as besties leaving Michelle with no best friend for the Best Friend Project at school.

The second story follows Jesse and Joey and Joey's girlfriend Roxie who leave Jesse out of his own Radio Show when they monopolize the airwaves with their witty chatter.

Jesse tries to compete by inviting Becky on the show and then the it turns into an absolute mess, with two conversations going on and my guess is the listeners are changing the station to one that plays actual music.

Join me next week, when I cover the final episode in the Michelle and Friends Series, Full House S8E4: I've Got a Secret, which aired on October 18, 1994.

In this episode Danny causes problems for Michelle when she joins a secret club. D.J. becomes jealous when Kimmy dates her former boyfriend. Jesse and Rebecca agree to divulge the names of their past loves.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I hope you enjoy the podcast!

Happy Full House Friday Everyone,

Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast.

Today, I kick off the month of November with the Michelle and Friends Series, starting with Full House S6E2: The Long Goodbye, which aired on September 29, 1992.

In this episode Michelle and Danny both mourn their long-distance relationships.

Michelle learns that Teddy is moving , not to another city, but to another state entirely.

We're talkin' Texas, guys!

My current home state.

He's actually moving to Amarillo, haven't been, but whenever I hear it mentioned I think of Teddy.

Granted us reg OG Full House watchers, we know Teddy comes back in Season 7.

In fact that's the next episode in this series.

So anyway, Michelle is heartbroken, we're talking Howie goes back to Nebraska from Season 2, heartbroken.

Well, at least Howie got off easy, I mean, it's not like Michelle at two years old, tied him to a chair, hoping his family would leave without him.

Poor Teddy, this isn't easy for him either.

Also in this episode, we see the last of Pinky the Pig,

Michelle had given him to Jesse as a goodbye present in the Season 4 Episode, Fuller House (not to be confused with the spin-off sequel show in 2016).

When Jesse and Becky move into the attic, he gives the stuffed pig back to Michelle.

Pinky heads to Texas with Teddy and Michelle welcomes into her stuffed animal family, Furry Murray.

I was tearing up at their goodbye scene.

Because like them, I too, have lost friends, some moved away to another town or school district, other moved out of state, some lost touch and some returned to my life down the road.

Now, let's get to Danny and Vicki, who now in Season 6 are adjusting to a long distance relationship, he's in San Fran and she's in Chicago.

It's tough, but they are determined to see it through, granted in Season 7 she takes a job as a network news anchor in New York and she and Danny break off their engagement as well as end their relationship.

Join me next week in the Battle of Michelle, she's caught in a tug-o-war between her new friend Denise and old friend Teddy, who's moved back from Texas, when I cover Full House S7E21: Be Your Own Best Friend, which aired on April 5, 1994.

In this episode Danny suggests Michelle's class do a project of drawing their best friend. But when Michelle can't decide whether to draw Teddy or Denise, they quit being friends with her.

Whoever said you can't have two best friends is wrong, IMO.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Halloween Everyone,

Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast.

Today, I'm covering another Bonus Episode, Wishbone S2E1: Halloween Hound The Legend of Creepy Collars Part 1 & 2, which aired on October 15, 1997.

In this episode PART 1:

"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' dominates as Halloween comes to Oakdale. Wishbone imagines himself as Ichabod Crane while Joe and his two schoolmates participate in Oakdale's scavenger hunt.

In this episode PART 2:

Wishbone and the gang participate in Oakdale's first annual Halloween scavenger hunt, complete with a haunted house.

I really love this episode, it's perfect for this time of year.

It kicks off Season 2 of the show with a 1 Hour Special Halloween 2 Part Episode and the book featured for this episode is The Legend of Sleepy Hallow by Washington Irving.

Ichabod Crane's fear of ghosts or spirits as he refers to them match up perfectly with Joe's (Wishbone's owner) fear of being unlucky (Wishbone missing Joe's basketball practice, Joe wearing smelly socks for "good luck" and a black cat crossing his path)and the old Murphy place (which is just an old run down house)as well as the past two Halloweens being "unlucky" for him (one year he sprained his ankle and couldn't play basketball and the other Halloween he came down with Chicken Pox).

Joe's Mom along with his friends (David and Sam) tell him this bad luck nonsense is just all in Joe's head and he's making a big deal out of it.

Honestly Joe's incessant whining about Halloween being bad luck for him was getting annoying. He kept saying how he just wanted to stay home and help his Mom hand out Halloween candy or keep an eye on Wishbone, both his friends weren't having it, since they signed him up with them for scavenger hunt which takes them all over Oakdale and ends at the "old Murphy Place, thus Joe facing his fears. Just like Ichabod and the Headless Horseman.

I hope you all enjoy this Podcast Episode and have a safe and Happy Halloween (If you celebrate it).

Hey Everyone,

Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast.

Today, I am bringing to you a Bonus Episode of one of my favorite shows growing up, besides Full House.

I covered the PBS 1995 show Wishbone, all about the little dog with the big imagination. If you grew up in the 90's like me you definitely watched this show and if you were a teenager like me in 1995 you probably also had a crush on Wishbone's owner Joe Talbot like I did.

The episode I decided to cover is Wishbone S1E9: Digging Up The Past, which aired on October 17, 1995.

In this episode Joe, Ellen and Wishbone meet a woman who lived in their home over 40 years ago, who comes to see the house and find the treasures she left behind as a kid. Wishbone imagines himself as Rip Van Winkle who falls asleep for 20 years and doesn't recognize anything or anybody, and can't get anyone to believe who he is.

I chose this episode because it is one of my favorites, it's all about going back and rediscovering your past, and if you're like Dr. Brown (not that Dr. Brown from Back to the Future) you revisit your old childhood home. And if you're lucky the new owners might let you inside and look around and if you're really lucky, you just might be able to check out your old bedroom.

The classic story that parallels is of Rip Van Winkle by Washington Irving. Since these episodes are only 30 minutes long, we only get 15 minutes of Oakdale and Wishbone's story and 15 minutes of a classic literature book giving us just enough nuts and bolts of the story to get the gist of it or check the book out on our own time if we want to know the complete story and fill in the blanks that the show doesn't cover.

I hope you enjoy this Podcast Episode!

I plan to cover some more episodes of Wishbone in 2023.

Maybe even start up my own Wishbone Podcast at some point,

We'll see.

Have a great weekend everyone and Happy Reading!
