Summary

Polka_fiesta_(Full_house) — Polka fiesta (Full house)

Now that his new band, Hot Daddy and the Monkey Puppets, is officially underway, Jesse invites Becky and the twins to accompany him on a trip for their very first weekend gig. They stop for the night at Manny's Motel, which is where Jesse and the Rippers stayed at years ago while on tour. The place is not the same as it was back then. The motel has gone downhill since, and Jesse becomes preoccupied with feeling old. To top it off, the club wants Hot Daddy and the Monkey Puppets to play polka music.

Meanwhile, major sparks fly between D.J. and Viper, one of Jesse's grungy young band members, and it seems that Danny has already made up his mind about him without getting to know him. When Danny expresses his discomfort about them being together, D.J. ends up making a very uncharacteristic decision. She goes along with Jesse and the band to be with Viper, and Danny hits the roof. When Danny finds D.J. at the club, she helps him realize that he has to respect the fact that who she dates is for her to decide, and he admits that he trusts her judgment.

-Now that his new band, Hot Daddy and the Monkey Puppets, is officially under-way, [[Jesse Katsopolis|Jesse]] invites [[Becky]] and the twins to accompany him on a trip for their very first weekend gig. They bunk in a hotel that Jesse used to stay at years ago, when he was younger, but now that he is an adult with a family of his own, will the youthful memories have the same effect?

-==Trivia==
-*Becky reminds Jesse that her mother initially wasn't happy when she started dating him, but that does not seem quite right. First of all, her parents didn't even meet him until the night before their wedding in [[Season 4|season four]], and when they did, Becky's mother was clearly delighted with him. If anybody had a problem with Jesse, it was her father. So this comment from her clearly doesn't make any sense.
-*This episode was mostly shut out by Election Day news when it first aired.
-*When talking to Becky, Jesse references the TV show ''Matlock'', a legal drama starring Andy Griffith as the title character.
-*The episode title is taken from the Willie Nelson song of the same name.
