D.J. seems to take this to heart and decides to give it a try.
With dinner finished, the family gathers in the living room for game night. Joey picks the game, which turns out to be a wacky game show parody called "Donald Trump's Fun House," hosted by Joey himself. The game involves a lot of physical challenges and stunts, and chaos quickly ensues as the family competes against each other. Jesse becomes the unwitting victim of one of Joey's stunts, but the family rallies to make sure he's okay.
