I’m picturing Ford and Stan having a conversation after DD&MD, where Ford asks Stan why he’s letting Dipper hang out with him now (with Ford thinking that that’s a huge change from when Stan told him “stay away from those kids! I don’t want them in any danger!” just a few days before)

Stan: well I figured if the kid is gonna idolize you, we may as well take advantage of it
Ford: what do you mean?
Stan: that boy has showered maybe three times over the entire summer, if you tell him he stinks, he’ll shower twice a day for the rest of his life and the nightmare will be over
