Scott Baio is 46 And Pregnant, Episode 8 - Frankenbaio: Curse Of The Wedding Planner
Scott, Renee, and Super Fab Wedding Planner are visiting the site for the wedding, which a very short two weeks away. As usual Scott is trying to dampen the "spare no expense" theme that's been chosen for the wedding. They visit the top of a luxury Hollywood high rise that overlooks the city. A sunset ceremony overlooking LA? Gorgeous! Where was my invite anyway? I suppose they had to keep a pretty short guest list thanks to the human cash register, as Scott refers to the super fab wedding planner. Scott even suggests foregoing decorations because the spot is so beautiful, why waste the money covering up? He's immediately outvoted.
Scott's return to the Daddies-to-Be class couldn't have come at a better time, since he's looking for any excuse to escape wedding planning. This week they are going on a field trip to a baby Music N Me class. They began learning the choreography for Itsy Bitsy Spider. Not to complain, but I have two kids and do daycare for a living. I hear this song enough. But, this isn't about me, so let's move on.
The teachers at the Music N Me class explain to the daddies that the chest vibrations that can be felt on their chest while singing, have a strong soothing effect on the babies. What, these daddies have never read a baby book at all? The guys are paired up into partners and began practicing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Scott realizes that though he may feel like an idiot, Bailey won't think he is. Maybe learning more about this stuff can help him take a bigger responsibility when it comes to putting the baby to sleep and things like that. He adds "Be More Responsible" to his to-do list.
The next night, after using his Music N Me lessons to sing Bailey to sleep, he offers to help Renee stuff wedding invitations. Before long they begin to argue about the difference between being frugal and being cheap (in case you haven't been paying attention, Scott would be cheap and Renee would be frugal). Renee sarcastically suggests that maybe they should just hit the Vegas drive through. Scott perks up at the idea. With that, Renee steps down from planning the wedding and tells Scott he can plan the whole thing by himself. Scott suggests using Evite as Renee storms off. Before she shuts the bedroom door she threatens that he better not make her cry on her wedding day. You better not Baio, the ladies of the world have Renee's back on this one.
Scott takes a break from his new found responsibility of planning the wedding to focus on his other major responsibility, making money. He points out for those of us who have wondered (I believe I've asked this question in my recaps before) that being a TV Reality Star doesn't pay diddly. Really VH1? Would Bret & Flav say the same thing? At any rate, since VH1 ain't paying the bills, Scott pays a visit to his agent. The popularity of the show has sparked a number of offers, all with Baio's name in it. Like Baiowolf and my personal favorite, Frankenbaio. I'm not sure exactly who came up with these scripts, but I'm guessing we'll be seeing the residual effects of the writers strike for quite a while.
Scott's agent finally busts out something worth mentioning, an animated film called Nuts. It's a tale about a squirrel from Brooklyn who falls in love. Sounds promising, until Scott has to blow it by asking if there's a part in it for Johnny. Scott has decided if he can get Johnny's life together it'll make life easier for Scott. After Johnny practically sabotages the whole audition with his lame antics, Scott decides that maybe the biggest roadblock on the road to responsibility is Johnny. Have I not said that before? Scott, I know I've said it before, and I feel like you're just not listening. Dump Johnny.
That weekend Scott & Renee attend their respective bachelor/bachelorette parties. Renee's is a low key evening of pedicures & PJ's at home with her closest gal pals. Scott decides to keep his low key as well, and plans a motorcycle/camping trip not too far from home. Scott, Jason, Cooch, and Johnny all start the evening off by duct taping beer to their hands. I didn't get why exactly, but a beer fight between the four ensues. Afterwards they offer up a sweet toast to Scott, Renee, and the baby. Then, in an unfortunate turn of events, they decide to go all Blair Witch on us, and sneak into the woods to video tape Johnny taking a dump. That's much scarier than Blair Witch if you ask me. Scott, I said dump Johnny. Not tape Johnny taking a dump. Ick. Moving on.
Scott tells the guys about his wedding predicament, and how he's now in charge of the whole thing. In a true test of friendship the guys offer to help him with the entire wedding. That's sweet and all, but I could have sworn Renee said something about not making her cry on her wedding day.
