b"Hey Seaver Fans,\\n\\nAngela Bowen here, the host of Show Me That Smile Again: A Growing Pains Podcast.\\n\\nToday, I covered S5E24: Weekend At Mike's, which aired on April 4, 1990.\\n\\nIn this episode the Seaver's discover they have termites and they move in temporary with Mike.\\n\\nThis was a fun episode, after trying and failing to get a hotel room because Jason canceled his credit cards after he thought his wallet was stolen or lost, the hotel clerk giving them shit and even pulling a gun on them. Jason being too prideful to borrow money from his stepfather Wally, so they crash Mike's date with Kate, the whole family (minus baby Chrissy)spending the night at Mike's small apartment above the garage. Jason thinks 3AM is the perfect time to have a family bonding session since no one can sleep, his psychiatry self takes over and boy oh boy is he annoying, Eddie (with his gross curly mullet) drops by to borrow money from Mike in the early A.M., then leaves but not before he mistakes Jason for Mike and making a crack about him sleeping with his mother and then commenting on Carol's development. Eddie is such a pig, this makes me miss Boner Mike's friend who joined the army.\\n\\nMike's water bed turns into old faithful as Ben, Carol and Mike decide they've had enough of sleeping on the floor and hop on even though Jason and Maggie are already occupying the bed.\\n\\nI'm sure that water beds do have weight limit capacities. I certainly wouldn't advise anyone if your water bed is leaking to try to stop the leak by putting your mouth over the hole. That water is nasty. (I wouldn't know personally, even though I did have a water bed from the ages of 11-19).\\n\\nWell, I'll see you in 2021 on occasion with a Growing Pains Podcast Episode, just not every month."
