Becca Slack may have shocked those in power with her sassy attitude and fondness for questioning authority, but that's just what we look for when scouting potential Rude Dudes. Today we're examining "Mr. Egghead", in which Joey's already muddled career takes a sharp turn into terrible children's programming. But that's not all, folks: Danny is using DJ in an attempt to get out of a $30 traffic ticket and Stephanie's impending Picture Day could prove her undoing. There's a lot going on, maybe too much, but whatever! Don't worry, we make time for Becca's Picture Day memories, as well as her Dad's love of outgoing answering machine messages. Do any of us care about the gender of a ghost we can't see so long as it's giving us the best oral sex of our lives? Will Jon provide us with an extended review of Beastly, now available on Amazon Prime, even if we didn't ask for it? Find out now! There's no way you'll discover the answer by reading this, you Bozo! XOXO

Cat McDonnell may have spent the majority of her childhood in the stuffy ol' land of England (where birthdays are about as celebrated as a hernia) but that didn't snuff out her joyous spirit. Said spirit is on full display for this, our 57th episode! Break out the Bobby Brown cassingle and oh so sensual bottle of catsup, because DJ is officially a teenager and everyone wants her to get laid. Everyone is dancing in this episode: Danny, Becky, Jesse, even little Michelle is getting her groove on with a particularly famous cartoon rabbit. It's fucking surreal! We're gonna learn all about Cat's first kiss and her recent encounter with a grown-up game of Spin the Bottle, so join us for the fun or see you next Tuesday. Ha-ha, just kidding, WE LOVE YOU ALL. XOXO

Eddie Klinker is no stinker. He's one of the red hot stars of CIC's 'Roast Beef' and our honorary Rude Dude for the week! Come along as we take a look at "Bye Bye Birdie", in which a spoiled Michelle finally gets her comeuppance on the first day of preschool and Stephanie's obsession with DJ has dire ramifications. Also on the table: Who on the call sheet was Eddie's first source of erotic arousal? Where can we learn more about Brandon's new spin on the table? Why the fuck was "Misty's Song" released as a single in Germany? As usual, we have a lot of questions, but we only have so much time. You know what we'd appreciate? A five star review in the iTunes Store. Get on it. We love you, Eddie! XOXO

Virginia Muller may have sneered at her older brothers' antics while practicing witchcraft in her mother's bedroom, but that doesn't make her a creep! Look, it's her prerogative, and she gonna do what she gonna do, okay? I mean for crying out loud, she chose to sit with us in a broiling studio apartment for the purposes of this week's episode, so her instincts can't be totally wonky, right? For #55 we're discussing "Lust in the Dust", in which the girls set Danny up with a "messy" dance teacher. In other news, that adorable tater tot beloved by millions is hiding your shit and she's loving every Goddamn second of your anxiety. What else do we got for ya? Dating dealbreakers, Stephanie GIFs, and one of the most confusing resumes for a guest star to date. Spoiler: There are two identical Karens in this universe, as well as two identical Connies. It's fucking bug nut nuts. Ciao, we love you!

Mary Beth Smith is no stranger to the world of podcasts. Her show, MBSing, is fantastic and you should definitely make it part of your regular rotation. That's not a recommendation, it's a straight up demand! Have you become a subscriber? Cool. Good. Join us as we comb through "Misadventures in Babysitting", a tale of one young girl's attempt to secure her own phone line. It's also the tale of a poker game gone awry and why positive communication between lovers is bullshit. Look, it's a complex tale! Also: Clarissa, Sabrina, Touched By An Angel, C-Bear and Jamal, Girl Meets World, and Dragonball Z! Bruce Baum is back and Mike Binder's 'The Sex Monster' sounds like a miserable piece of sexist garbage. Love you! XOXO

Saurabh Pande may be an incorrigible rascal but that doesn't mean he can't be an honorary Rude Dude just like everyone else. To prove it, he came to the studio and helped us examine "No More Mr. Dumb Guy", in which Jesse's ego is shattered by intellectuals operaring at a 10th grade level. Meanwhile, Danny is assaulting an oblivious patron of the arts and Michelle is using her gift of language to shut everyone right the fuck down. We'll also get to know a homeless film critic and dive once again into the resumes of former Full House guest stars, so prepare yourself for all of that! Have you snuck onto a friend's laptop and subscribed to the show via iTunes? It's a breach of trust, sure, but they'll thank you for it. THEY WILL THANK YOU.

Today's episode features Brandon and Jonathon and ... oh yeah, Sarah Dell'Amico! But unlike Stacey from this week's particularly disorienting chunk of Full House, Sarah is an absolute joy. Come along with us as we dive once more into the world of advertising and discover why it makes no Goddamn sense whatsoever. And hey, if you've been searching for inspiration for that Comet/Mr. Bear fuck fiction, search no more, weary traveler. Additional docket topics include cocktail wieners, the joys of a good hotel room, and why Florida probably shouldn't be your choice for young romance. It's a hoot and you'll even get to hear our sterling Roseanne impressions, so clean out your canals and get to listening right the heck now. XOXO

Boom! Rattle! Roll! Hold on to your hats and your socks, guys and gals, because this week we're discussing "Aftershocks" with the one and only Libby Schreiner! Libby is our 50th guest and honorary Rude Dude and she brings a particularly keen insight to the table. We're gonna need it if we're to diagnose poor Stephanie, who walks away from San Fran's latest tremblor like she's coming out of Vietnam. She can't take it, man! The quake is all around her, man! In other news, DJ is playing Mrs. Claus in the Christmas play (this is a Christmas episode, apparently) and she has a big honking zit on her sniffer! Poor DJ. Poor, dumb, illogical DJ. We'll also learn about Libby's fear of a very particular scientific occurrence and why everyone was talking about Cody back in junior high. It wasn't because he was popular, we'll tell ya that much. Thank you to the lovely individuals who penned our latest five star reviews in the iTunes Store. Follow their lead and write your own today! XOXO

Lindsay Lewin joins us this week to discuss "The Greatest Birthday on Earth", in which Michelle celebrates the beginning of her third year on this miserable planet. Coincidentally, we recorded this episode on Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's birthday, and we had no Goddamn clue. So yeah, happy belated birthday, you scary witch sisters! But enough about them, what about Lindsay? Well, she's got all kinds of birthday memories on deck, including her financially debilitating love for a certain JTT. Did we mention she was a member of TLC? She was totally a member of TLC, the group you immediately bring to mind when those letters are said out loud, strung together. We promise! As always, please take a moment to pen a five star review for us in the iTunes Store and tell all of your friends about the show. #SpreadtheWord #XOXO

Michael Gau is our esteemed guest this week and his enthusiasm for 'Full House' beats out anything we've seen thus far. He genuinely loves the show and has a crackerjack story about seeing Jodie Sweetin speak. Was the shirt he wore at the time a little disturbing? Sure. Perhaps even more than a little! We're tackling "Dr. Dare Rides Again" this week, in case you didn't already know. Who is Jesse in 1990? Is he Dr. Dare ... or Dr. Dairy Farm Cowboy Apron Nancy Pants? Scott Baio is on hand to lend his perspective and push our beloved Uncle to the edge. Also: Comet is back and annoying the FUCK out of poor Michelle. Additionally: Scary ladder stories, finding your true self in and out of college, and whether it's okay to own a denim jacket that sports leather sleeves. One more thing: WE LOVE YOU.
