Kimmy and Stephanie plan a surprise for D.J.'s 39th birthday, and Max's painful twist could ruin everything. Original airdate December 9, 2016.
Tropes:
- Actor Allusion: Jordan Knight and Dave Coulier appeared together on the Surreal Life.
- Birthday Episode: It's DJ's birthday.
- Call-Back: This is not the first time a New Kids on the Block song appeared in the series the song "The Right Stuff" which is performed in this episode also appeared in the pilot.
- Celebrity Cameo: This episode features a special appearance by famous band New Kids on the Block.
- Loony Fan: Kimmy of course!
- Mushroom Samba: DJ was still under the effects of the anesthesia of her tooth crown intervention, which leads to a hilarious footage of her making a fool of herself in front of the New Kids on the Block. Matt, Steve, Stephanie and Kimmy have to show her the video of how the moment went down.
- Nice Guy: Since Matt's birthday present was dissapointing, specially compared to Steve's (DJ's favorite pillow doll), Steve decided to give Matt the credit for getting the concert tickets.
- Noodle Incident: Apparently Kimmy snuck into their hotel rooms and tried to steal some of the New Kids laundry and dry cleaning while they were on tour.
- Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: Donnie Wahlberg was unable to join his New Kids on the Block bandmates for this episode, as he was filming his show Blue Bloods (2010) at the time.
- Shout-Out: So many references to New Kids On The Block songs.
- Kimmy grabbing on to Joey's leg and pleading "Please don't go, boy!".

- Joey nearly tripping on the front steps of the house and jokingly saying "step by step".
- Max and Ramona mention Lori Loughlin by name, Lori plays Aunt Becky.
- The episode's title is a reference to the group New Kids on the Block who appear in this episode.
