Speaker 4: which I provided photographic evidence to you Andrea at the
Speaker 4: slide bar for a.
Speaker 6: Quick oh yes, yes yes for Kevin Bean, yes yes, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 6: yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Jensen talks about it all the time.
Speaker 6: I'm making them the pelpin of us together.
Speaker 5: You should.
Speaker 4: I'm sure it'll be a big seller if you include
Speaker 4: my mug in it, so we'll be arm in an arm.
Speaker 1: Wait, but why does he why does he owe you
Speaker 1: three hundred dollars?
Speaker 2: What's you have to tell that story?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 5: Jensen can? Jensen can tell you the joke.
Speaker 6: Kanye is Well, it's not a joke. It's real. Kanye.
Speaker 6: Kanye West owes me three hundred dollars. You can look
Speaker 6: at that story. Yeah, I rented him a car once
Speaker 6: we were we were close friends. I wrote a book
Speaker 6: and there's a full chapter about how we were friends
Speaker 6: and I loaned him money and then I didn't want
Speaker 6: the money back. But he was like one of those
Speaker 6: people who like like would text me, I'll get it
Speaker 6: to you, and I'd be like, don't worry about it.
Speaker 6: You're like, well now I kind of want it, like
Speaker 6: it's it's and like I forgot yeah, now I need it,
Speaker 6: and and so he uh he and I stopped talking.
Speaker 6: And then when I wrote the book, I was in
Speaker 6: an office pitching a TV show and they were talking
Speaker 6: about my book and they said, you know, he's next
Speaker 6: door and I said, who's next door? And they said
Speaker 6: Kanye's next door and I said oh, and my book
Speaker 6: was like coming out in a few months, and they
Speaker 6: were like, we can go talk to him about it.
Speaker 6: And I was like, no, like, don't do that. That
Speaker 6: could ruin everything. And they were like well, and they
Speaker 6: were like yeah, but what if he like promotes the book?
Speaker 6: And I was like right, And I let them convince me,
Speaker 6: which is stupid, that like, oh, he'll help, which he won't.
Speaker 6: He's terrible, he's insane, he's not the same person as
Speaker 6: when we were actually friends. He's just And so I
Speaker 6: let them convince me. Not I was never going to
Speaker 6: go over there, but they were like, we'll talk to
Speaker 6: him when you leave and then we'll call you and
Speaker 6: I said great, and so I leave and it's like
Speaker 6: a big deal to me. So I'm like waiting by
Speaker 6: the phone and hours passed and I was like, what
Speaker 6: the fuck? And so I call them and I go
Speaker 6: what happened? And they go, oh, no, what it went
Speaker 6: really bad? And I was like, yeah, no, shit, Like
Speaker 6: he you know, she said, he wishes you the best,
Speaker 6: but he's happy to hear you're okay, but he like
Speaker 6: doesn't want anything to do with it. And I said okay.
Speaker 6: And then I looked down at Twitter, which was like
Speaker 6: a big deal then, and he had tweeted, like twenty
Speaker 6: minutes after I left. He tweeted, uh, don't ever use
Speaker 6: my name for your marketing campaigns. Wow.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sure he doesn't want to use his
Speaker 3: name for marketing campaigns these days either.
Speaker 2: Nobody made us was this? That was?
Speaker 3: This was?
Speaker 6: This was a long time ago. But the book is
Speaker 6: called Kanye westws Me three hundred Dollars, but it's only
Speaker 6: one chapter. It's like there's many there's many stories. One
Speaker 6: of them is that and it's it's the clickbaity title
Speaker 6: right right.
Speaker 3: I was I was hoping you look like just went
Speaker 3: full say anything style with Rihanna's better have my money
Speaker 3: into the conference room that he was sitting in, because
Speaker 3: that would have been pretty epic as well.
Speaker 6: I was tempting, but also I was so nervous he
Speaker 6: could like put an injuncture even if it's real. He
Speaker 6: knows me right, right, right right, so nervous that he
Speaker 6: could like ruin the title. And I was like, oh no,
Speaker 6: what are we doing? And he can't. I checked a
Speaker 6: thousand lawyers because he does owe me three hundred dollars
Speaker 6: that it's totally allowed, right, we one a.
Speaker 4: Ten percent interest that's probably worth about four hundred and
Speaker 4: fifty bucks now, So I mean that's probably pretty cool.
Speaker 6: I'm app to that because I would have said three
Speaker 6: hundred and thirty dollars, so I just ten percent. I
Speaker 6: would have just put ten percent on it.
Speaker 5: Sorry, it's per anim So every year we got it.
Speaker 6: Yearly understood, you know how you know how lawyers work?
Speaker 6: You know, well, are you guys going to be is
Speaker 6: the guy's just about me? I'm nervous, it's just about me.
Speaker 5: This is this is a better podcast. Jody and Andrew
Speaker 5: are going to agree that this is the better version
Speaker 5: of it.
Speaker 1: Oh just wait, Darren, you fulfill Darren's stream because I
Speaker 1: was just telling Jodie before we started recording, I said,
Speaker 1: when I announced, and I told Darren, I said, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm doing a new podcast for iHeartRadio. Uh, the full
Speaker 1: House re rewatch podcasts with Jody. I'm really excited. You know,
Speaker 1: Daniel Fisher and Jensen Carp were producing, and Darren's like,
Speaker 1: Jensen Carp, you get to work with Jensen car doesn't
Speaker 1: give her about Danielle or.
Speaker 2: No, He's like, I've seen you guys, it's not impressive.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but Jensa you get to work with Pete best
Speaker 6: of the Beatles, right right. This is like.
Speaker 4: Literally I'm the only person that likes Jensen more than
Speaker 4: his wife and the couple, the celebrity couple that they are.
Speaker 5: I mean, Danielle is wonderful.
Speaker 3: But but she's no Jensen Carp, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: And I loved him on Kevin Bean and that's when
Speaker 4: I really just delved into the quirkiness and and the
Speaker 4: stories and I just it just hit me. It's just funny.
Speaker 4: I love it, and answered incredibly creative and talented.
Speaker 6: So you know, well this show so yeah, and I've
Speaker 6: enjoyed working with Andrew and Jody, and it's been, uh,
Speaker 6: you know, really rewarding in a weird way because Danielle
Speaker 6: and I have been working on kind of doing the
Speaker 6: spin off show, and it's we've talked about what it's
Speaker 6: meant to us a lot, and and it's just crazy
Speaker 6: to like redefine these stories from people who were child stars.
Speaker 6: It's like, like to have the final word, I think
Speaker 6: has been has been really meaningful to us. I mean,
Speaker 6: you know the fact that like the final word won't
Speaker 6: be from fifty year old white dudes who put the
Speaker 6: words in their mouth. Now they get to put words
Speaker 6: in their own mouth. And it's pretty amazing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's great, absolutely great. All Right, so Jody's coming
Speaker 4: for me. I guess I'll just have to deal with it.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I'm just I'm just so excited to
Speaker 3: be here, uh in support of ab potentially being roasted
Speaker 3: at some point in this show.
Speaker 5: All right, well my my pronounce in the box.
Speaker 2: That's there. You go.
Speaker 6: You have a good show. Don't think of me ever again.
Speaker 4: Wait am I? Andrew said you may be popping in
Speaker 4: with notes or something. Is there some screen I'm supposed
Speaker 4: to also be looking at.
Speaker 2: No, you're good. You're good. That's just no. We don't
Speaker 2: want you to see those notes.
Speaker 6: We don't even exist.
Speaker 2: Normany is not even usually here.
Speaker 5: I said that security clericy.
Speaker 6: Al Right, goodbye friends.
Speaker 1: Thanks, that was amazing, dream fulfilled.
Speaker 2: Right, it's so great. Right, and now Jensen owes me
Speaker 2: three hundred dollars.
Speaker 5: So there you go. Well, I knew you would get
Speaker 5: the joke when I texted at the Annie. I'm like,
Speaker 5: he'll know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: Hold on, we just you call her Annie.
Speaker 5: I do call her Annie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have heard you call her that, but I
Speaker 3: just need our audience because I call her a B.
Speaker 2: Okay, and he calls you Annie. I like it.
Speaker 1: The Barber family proper calls me Annie since I was
Speaker 1: a little child. But then my full house family and
Speaker 1: close friends call me AB. But now our whole audience
Speaker 1: that's listening right now, they all call me a B
Speaker 1: now too. So right, okay, god, AB is more ubiquitous,
Speaker 1: but Annie is reserved for.
Speaker 3: That's how you that's right, right, So don't just audience,
Speaker 3: don't be calling her Annie.
Speaker 2: We're not at that level.
Speaker 4: And text messages some to you know, we sometimes revert
Speaker 4: to a B and stuff. But I mean historically, even
Speaker 4: before Andrew was born, the middle child for whom will
Speaker 4: not speak of, he goes by JB and so, and
Speaker 4: he was JB his entire life, so you know, everybody
Speaker 4: I was only won without a nickname. It was Darren,
Speaker 4: JB and Annie. That's just kind of how the family rolled.
Speaker 4: So it just stuck.
Speaker 2: Well, I feel like you're D Barbs.
Speaker 3: But with the little D you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: there's like there's the D Barbs and then there's like
Speaker 3: the the like the lower kid, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: Like you you're you can't.
Speaker 2: Usurp the king. But yeah, okay, yeah, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 1: She has a different view like of D Barbs. Like
Speaker 1: I told her, you know, you're not. There's there's hints
Speaker 1: of there's hints of Dad in you, and it's coming
Speaker 1: out like each year a little bit more. The gene
Speaker 1: is active, as we say, and it's coming out a
Speaker 1: little bit more.
Speaker 2: But no, I'm like, he is not. He's not D Barbs.
Speaker 2: He's not.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I mean I think D Barbes was born
Speaker 3: after that. The picture of him getting off of that
Speaker 3: helicopter in Katalina looking like President I would have voted
Speaker 3: for him.
Speaker 2: I wish, I wish that was an option, but.
Speaker 3: I yeah, it was pretty epic. So that's my like,
Speaker 3: I have a very uh extraordinary version in my head.
Speaker 4: Okay, well, I don't know how much gets said and
Speaker 4: how much doesn't, but I don't want Jody talking about
Speaker 4: my little d So I'm not sure what your demo
Speaker 4: is actual monologue, and I'm like, I.
Speaker 3: Look, that's not anyway continued.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a good little sparring session between the
Speaker 1: three of us.
Speaker 5: Oh, it's not gonna be sparring. We're going to gang
Speaker 5: up on you. Don't don't worry about that.
Speaker 2: Great great Darren understands the assigned more than he should.
Speaker 1: Actually, Well, Darren, I'm so excited to have you on
Speaker 1: the show today. I know you're super busy, so thank
Speaker 1: you so much for carving out time. I'm really excited
Speaker 1: and nervous about what you're gonna say today. Me too, No,
Speaker 1: I mostly I am also really excited because I want to
Speaker 1: talk about like the whole genesis of how we became
Speaker 1: child actors, because I don't think a lot of people
Speaker 1: know that you and our other brother, Justin, we were
Speaker 1: all child actors at the same time with Judy Savage.
Speaker 1: And I was five at the time you were twelve,
Speaker 1: and so I don't have like firm memories of that
Speaker 1: time in my life, and I'm hoping you have a
Speaker 1: few more. So, yeah, what do you remember about how
Speaker 1: we got started in acting and how we met Judy Savage?
Speaker 3: And Judy is a legendary young people's agent in Hollywood
Speaker 3: in like the eighties and nineties and still a wonderful, dear,
Speaker 3: flamboyantly awesome lady.
Speaker 5: So anyway, I love her dearly.
Speaker 4: I yeah, she has changed my life and obviously everybody
Speaker 4: here and I can't say enough good things about her.
Speaker 5: And yeah, I have I have.
Speaker 4: A firm recollection of it, fortunately and unfortunately, so I'll
Speaker 4: share that, and it's a lot of it is very
Speaker 4: eighties ask which is good for nostalgia, but also we've
Speaker 4: come a long way in the evolution of things that
Speaker 4: we do and don't do in this country now. So
Speaker 4: I can tell you what happened was our family did
Speaker 4: a lot of regional theater. Our mom was a really
Speaker 4: talented actress and stuff, and so she would be in
Speaker 4: a variety of plays and then if there were kids
Speaker 4: in the plays, we would audition and inevitably get cast.
Speaker 4: And so, ironically enough, there was a show playing locally
Speaker 4: called The King and I, and the three of Us auditions,
Speaker 4: so you can imagine two pasty, white, blonde haired, blue
Speaker 4: eyed boys trying to play Siamese kids and Andrea all
Speaker 4: auditioning for The King and I. And of course, as
Speaker 4: is foreshadowing of this entire episode, Andrea gets cast in
Speaker 4: the production and Justin and I do not. And it's
Speaker 4: like okay, because yeah, they decide they can spray paint
Speaker 4: her hair black and I guess you had some you know,
Speaker 4: melotonin on your face enough to not look as ghostly
Speaker 4: as we did. And so she was cast as the
Speaker 4: youngest Siamese princess in the production. And there, you know,
Speaker 4: it gets noticed, even though there's forty kids on stage.
Speaker 4: Andrew gets noticed, one because she's the youngest. And two
Speaker 4: there's a scene where they're running and I just remember
Speaker 4: someone kind of picking her up and grabbing her by
Speaker 4: the arm and she like flung almost you know, horizontally,
Speaker 4: five feet.
Speaker 5: As they made a turn.
Speaker 2: And I was five.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: That spurred a phone call from a talent manager who
Speaker 4: shall remain nameless for this production, and he called to
Speaker 4: ask about representing Andrea and asked who I was, and
Speaker 4: I explained I was her older brother.
Speaker 5: You know, Oh, there any more kids.
Speaker 4: In the in the family, Yeah, we have another one,
Speaker 4: and I'd like to meet with the three of you
Speaker 4: and see about representing you for show business. So that
Speaker 4: that was what started the whole part of it, and
Speaker 4: met with him. He decided to sign the three of
Speaker 4: us up and introduced us to Judy, who was more
Speaker 4: largely influential. And everything that happened thereafter. And the reason
Speaker 4: I'm being a bit vague about the manager is unfortunately,
Speaker 4: you know, it turned out later that he was a
Speaker 4: pedophile and was you know, in the business to find
Speaker 4: kids and victims and stuff. And thankfully none of the
Speaker 4: three of us were victimized. But and Judy played the
Speaker 4: largest role in everything pretty much thereafter. So that's how we,
Speaker 4: you know, stumbled into show business.
Speaker 5: Was Andrea being.
Speaker 4: A Siamese kid and me answering the phone when some
Speaker 4: random guy called.
Speaker 2: And that's not a story of success. I don't know
Speaker 2: what is, you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's not being at what was at
Speaker 4: Sardi's in Hollywood and getting walked up to by a
Speaker 4: talent agent. But you know, it's kind of the child.
Speaker 5: Equivalent of yeah, yeah, for sure, how did you stumble
Speaker 5: into this whole business? So that's that's where it all started.
Speaker 1: And we didn't know what we were getting into, and
Speaker 1: mom and dad didn't know what we were like. It
Speaker 1: was just like, hey, this sounds interesting, let's give it
Speaker 1: a try. It was not like we had dreams of
Speaker 1: being Hollywood stars or anything like that.
Speaker 6: This was.
Speaker 2: And my parents. Yeah, I was like, sure, this might
Speaker 2: be fun. Why not give it a whirl. Let's give
Speaker 2: it a shot, right, So yeah, and.
Speaker 4: It started well, I mean, I think at first it
Speaker 4: was kind of fun and stuff. You had to drive
Speaker 4: out to LA in different places, and we had to
Speaker 4: learn how to read, you know, the Thomas Guide, which
Speaker 4: for Thomas.
Speaker 3: Guide should sponsor a portion of this show. Really we
Speaker 3: mentioned it.
Speaker 4: Before ways and Google maps and everything else. We actually
Speaker 4: had paper and we had to read it.
Speaker 2: We had we had a seven year old telling you
Speaker 2: how to get along the freeway.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it got really adept at that, and you know,
Speaker 4: I think at first it was fun for all of us,
Speaker 4: and then it was after that it was fun for Andrea,
Speaker 4: because Andrew had just.
Speaker 5: Had this ability to just book jobs.
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't think she went more than three
Speaker 4: auditions without book and a job. You know, we'd go
Speaker 4: out like, oh she got a park Butter commercial.
Speaker 2: Oh she yes, I remember that one.
Speaker 5: You know, and our parents beat wonderful.
Speaker 4: We're trying to be, you know, really nice, like no, no, no,
Speaker 4: you you got a McDonald's commerce and that was your
Speaker 4: twenty fifth audition.
Speaker 5: And if you get a job out of every thirty.
Speaker 4: That's successful in this business, and like matth doesn't resonate
Speaker 4: with a twelve year old that's being rejected twenty four
Speaker 4: out of twenty five times. It just feels like a
Speaker 4: lot of wear and tear on your self esteem and
Speaker 4: a lot of miles and time in the car trying
Speaker 4: to do homework to and from interest.
Speaker 1: And that was that wasn't a comment on like yours
Speaker 1: or Justin's acting ability. I think it's just because I
Speaker 1: was a girl and so I was more marketable and
Speaker 1: they were I mean, you know, I was a cute
Speaker 1: kid with pigtails and you were, like you said, a pasty, white,
Speaker 1: really thin preteen.
Speaker 2: So I mean that had a lot right to do
Speaker 2: with it as well.
Speaker 1: So I think I think had you stayed with it longer,
Speaker 1: you would have been very successful. And you were you
Speaker 1: were on one day at a time as Farley.
Speaker 3: That do you want to tell us about your audiently,
Speaker 3: I need to know about Farley.
Speaker 2: Yeah, as in miss Farley. Now that was Three's company.
Speaker 2: Also great job.
Speaker 5: Yeah so as oh man you yeah, so Farley. I
Speaker 5: don't know.
Speaker 4: I don't know what the writer was thinking in terms
Speaker 4: of that name of a show.
Speaker 5: And at the.
Speaker 3: Time that I was an incredibly popular boy's name if
Speaker 3: I remember right, you know everyone was named Farley.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 5: You were born in the eighteen hundreds. You look great,
Speaker 5: pre age goodness, great show.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's me and thaddyus you know we no so yeah.
Speaker 4: This was more towards the tail end of that run
Speaker 4: of the sitcom with with Body, Bonnie Franklin and Pat Schneider.
Speaker 4: So the episode revolved around smoking and lung cancer and
Speaker 4: quitting smoking.
Speaker 5: So they needed a fourteen year old ex.
Speaker 4: Smoker to be one of the U five characters on
Speaker 4: that show under five line characters, And somehow I got cast,
Speaker 4: you know, wearing you know, this kind of shirt with
Speaker 4: a sweater over like a preppy out of some other movie.
Speaker 4: I was completely dressed the wrong way for it and
Speaker 4: even on the show. So I was cast as a
Speaker 4: fourteen year old ex smoker in this episode as a
Speaker 4: guest appearance on One Day at a Time with the
Speaker 4: stage name of Barley, which you know certainly went over
Speaker 4: huge as a freshman in high.
Speaker 5: School right when that aired.
Speaker 4: In terms of both my acting ability, the character and
Speaker 4: my wardrobe.
Speaker 5: But yeah, that was.
Speaker 3: That was Did Farley smoke a pipe? Would that have
Speaker 3: been more appropriate for the way that you were dressed?
Speaker 4: It wouldn't have been better, more out of character than
Speaker 4: it already was, but you know it was.
Speaker 5: You know, it was a fun experience.
Speaker 4: The other interesting thing about it is you know that,
Speaker 4: as you know, they're five day shoots, and so Warner
Speaker 4: Brothers I think was the producer of that.
Speaker 5: I'm not I probably shouldn't say that. I don't know
Speaker 5: who what the producer company was.
Speaker 3: I'll just leave it at that, but spoke, I'm not
Speaker 3: going to legally say anything that may come back to
Speaker 3: hunt me.
Speaker 4: Right, So, whoever was producing the show and in charge
Speaker 4: of the money only wanted to pay for four days
Speaker 4: of me being on set, and I don't think it
Speaker 4: was so much the fifth day of the payment. But
Speaker 4: you gotta get the social worker, the teacher, you know,
Speaker 4: all his other expenses, you know. So I was only
Speaker 4: going to be there for four of the five days,
Speaker 4: but our father insisted that I was there for all
Speaker 4: five days. So I show up at the table read
Speaker 4: on Monday, and all that did was confuse you know.
Speaker 4: Bonnie Franklin, Pat Schneider, Valerie Burtonelli. They're looking around, going, Okay,
Speaker 4: he's far lee, but that PA's reading his lines because
Speaker 4: he can't talk. But I can look at him, and
Speaker 4: I'm thinking, yeah, Dad got me into this. This is fantastic.
Speaker 4: So we drove out there, I sat there. I said nothing.
Speaker 4: I got paid nothing for Monday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, exactly, Craus killer negotiation. Come on, Dad happened.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I give him a ton of credit.
Speaker 4: But he's definitely got the Dad vibes on that and stuff.
Speaker 5: And I had my own almost.
Speaker 4: Successes on other things, kind of like what was spoken
Speaker 4: probably off camera before we started, you know where I
Speaker 4: was almost successful here and almost successful there. And I
Speaker 4: don't think Dad sabotaged me. I think he did everything
Speaker 4: he could that to help me. But you know, going
Speaker 4: back to Andrea's point about being young girl pigtails, yeah,
Speaker 4: maybe that had something to do with it for her success.
Speaker 4: But she's also very talented. I mean both of you
Speaker 4: don't get into that spot. There's some luck on opportunity
Speaker 4: obviously in this business, but the two of you are
Speaker 4: very talented and deserving of the roles that you've achieved,
Speaker 4: both on this house fuller house than otherwise.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, really, yeah, you really are you. I've
Speaker 3: always said there's something just you are so funny and
Speaker 3: so just yeah, you really die into particularly Kimmy. You
Speaker 3: just you embody her so well, it's great.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you.
Speaker 1: And I always say anything that's good or talented about
Speaker 1: me that I got that from Mom.
Speaker 2: And same with Darren.
Speaker 1: I think you got your your wit, your comedy skills,
Speaker 1: your ability to just capture the attention of a room.
Speaker 1: I think you got that from mom too. So we
Speaker 1: thank her for all of the good things about us.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the awkward stuff and the missteps are all from Dad.
Speaker 4: All the other things are from mom. I would agree
Speaker 4: with that one hundred percent. I should share you know,
Speaker 4: before the one day to Time piece, I was almost
Speaker 4: cast in silver spoons. I got down to the final
Speaker 4: two to be Ricky Schroeder's bad boy friend for a
Speaker 4: couple of seasons.
Speaker 3: Wow, you were quite the bad You're doing the bad
Speaker 3: boy rounds, Darren.
Speaker 4: You just yeah, pasty white thin for some reason, resonated
Speaker 4: even before meth was.
Speaker 5: A big thing, because remember this is the eighties, so
Speaker 5: it's probably good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't even then.
Speaker 4: And so we get down to the final two and
Speaker 4: I'm told that I'm not cast because I'm blonde hair,
Speaker 4: blue eyed and looked like Ricky Schroeder. And I'm thinking,
Speaker 4: you knew this when I walked in, Like, how did
Speaker 4: they get this far to the final two? And then
Speaker 4: they cast some unknown dude named Jason Bateman. I'm sure
Speaker 4: he was fine. I'm not really sure what happened to him. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you know, I will say, had I gotten it, I
Speaker 4: certainly wouldn't have had the career he had because he's
Speaker 4: immensely talented.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I lost out on that role.
Speaker 4: And then they had another show about a year later,
Speaker 4: so that I made the next step too. I'm cast.
Speaker 4: I got a show.
Speaker 5: Here we go.
Speaker 4: It's called called a Glory. I'm super excited. Judy got
Speaker 4: two of the kids on there, myself and Laura Harden,
Speaker 4: who Okay.
Speaker 3: I've done chosen Laura and she was Diane Harden, my
Speaker 3: acting teacher's daughter.
Speaker 4: Okay, so wonderful. But it was a big deal because
Speaker 4: Judy was still small at that time the agency, So
Speaker 4: to get two of the three kid roles on that
Speaker 4: show was a big deal, you know. I was like, Oh,
Speaker 4: this is going to be awesome, you know. So I
Speaker 4: was going to be the middle child, and signed a
Speaker 4: contract like twelve times and everything, and then right before
Speaker 4: it starts, it's like, uh, yeah, You're not on the show.
Speaker 4: They've recast you. And I'm thinking, how how bad was
Speaker 4: I before we started? And they had some other kid
Speaker 4: under contract with a different show on ABC that the
Speaker 4: pilot wasn't picked up, so they just moved him into
Speaker 4: my role and dismissed me, and as a as a
Speaker 4: consolation prize, they I was on an episode with no
Speaker 4: lines in the first season at some point, and all
Speaker 4: I remember about that is it was some kind of
Speaker 4: classroom scene or something, and Christy Swanson was one.
Speaker 5: Of the other.
Speaker 4: Actors in there, and I met her at that point
Speaker 4: and then I was done and I thought, man, this
Speaker 4: is really hard.
Speaker 5: Even when you think you get a job, you don't
Speaker 5: get a job.
Speaker 3: So you can shoot a whole movie or a show
Speaker 3: and it never it never sees the light.
Speaker 5: Of day exactly.
Speaker 4: So you'll see a little snippet of Call the Glory
Speaker 4: and I'm like, yeah, it really wasn't for me. It
Speaker 4: turned out to be just a sad story for me.
Speaker 4: And then one day at a time got booked the
Speaker 4: next year and so you know, I just my assent
Speaker 4: was very slow and steady, and then.
Speaker 1: Over that's okay, But you did. But you did the
Speaker 1: stage production Vita. You were a singer and part of
Speaker 1: the ensemble for quite a while.
Speaker 2: I remember you your.
Speaker 1: Dad had to drive you out to l A. What
Speaker 1: was that eight shows a week or I don't know.
Speaker 1: As a child, I don't know if you were allowed
Speaker 1: to do all eight shows per week, but that was
Speaker 1: really significant.
Speaker 2: Wow, that was.
Speaker 5: Awesome, that that part.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say that's when theatrical productions were really
Speaker 4: gaining a lot of steam in the eighties, and I think.
Speaker 5: A chorus Line was the first one to break through.
Speaker 4: But then you know, Andrew Lloyd Weber's A Vita was massive,
Speaker 4: and it was their national touring company. It was in
Speaker 4: Century City at the Schubert Theater, so much further past
Speaker 4: La And yeah, it was eight shows a week, six
Speaker 4: day with Mondays we were dark, so two shows on Saturday,
Speaker 4: two shows on Sunday. It was down there at the
Speaker 4: Sensory Plaza.
Speaker 5: And it was fun because.
Speaker 4: You get cast as a singer dancer, which is really
Speaker 4: interesting because there was no dancing on my part, let
Speaker 4: alone skill level. And the parts where the children were
Speaker 4: involved were only two or three scenes, including.
Speaker 5: The bow at the end.
Speaker 4: But we got paid a good amount of money to
Speaker 4: be in the show and.
Speaker 2: Learn the news for you. And during that one.
Speaker 5: I was choir boy.
Speaker 6: How old were you?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, there's Don's ears and the hearing going.
Speaker 2: You get off the showdown, screw up? Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 4: I was twelve. Then I started that when I was
Speaker 4: in sixth grade, I believe if.
Speaker 3: I remember, so this was pre this was this was
Speaker 3: before your your bad boy era.
Speaker 5: Yeah it actually okay, got it.
Speaker 3: I guess before you when you hadn't started smoking yet, No,
Speaker 3: before he became the fourteen year old ex smoker.
Speaker 2: Okay, got it?
Speaker 5: Exactly? Really turned really interesting teen years.
Speaker 4: So yeah, so that, yeah, I was twelve then, and
Speaker 4: that that lasted six or eight months. I got in
Speaker 4: in the second year in that production and it was
Speaker 4: I mean, it was a lot of work, but I
Speaker 4: enjoyed it and had a good time. Got to play
Speaker 4: pac Man, the arcade game on Saturdays and Sundays in
Speaker 4: between shows. Sometimes would even go see a movie and
Speaker 4: there's a three hour break in between in the evening.
Speaker 4: And God blessed Dad for doing that drive because he
Speaker 4: has a practicing attorney to try to leave every day
Speaker 4: at the office at like two o'clock and put files
Speaker 4: on your briefcase so you get out there, you get
Speaker 4: your tutoring on the set and then do the show
Speaker 4: and then drive home at ten thirty eleven o'clock at
Speaker 4: night and go to bed at midnight. That that was
Speaker 4: a lot and stuff, so that that was a wonderful experience.
Speaker 4: Met some really neat people. We had a reunion a
Speaker 4: couple of years ago, put on by the guy that
Speaker 4: replaced me when I left, who's also an attorney. All
Speaker 4: these attorneys get involved, but Patrick O'Brien a very very
Speaker 4: successful attorney and great guy and great family.
Speaker 5: Also represented by Judy Savage.
Speaker 2: Well, Judy represent I feel like, yeah, like eight out.
Speaker 3: Of ten kids that were in the business between nineteen
Speaker 3: eighty and nineteen.
Speaker 2: You know, ninety nine were with Judy one hundred percent.
Speaker 4: So yeah, that was probably the most successful thing I did.
Speaker 4: Quite honestly. That lasted, like I said, six or eight months,
Speaker 4: and then I left before they went on tour. They'd
Speaker 4: been at the Schubert for two years, and then they
Speaker 4: were going to go to Colorado, Denver, Colorado, San Francisco,
Speaker 4: and I just told mom and dad I didn't want
Speaker 4: to leave.
Speaker 5: And go on tour. I wanted to be with my friends.
Speaker 4: So I left, left the production and have a few regrets,
Speaker 4: but not too many, and finished up junior high and
Speaker 4: went to high school to become the ex smoker and stuff.
Speaker 3: So and yeah, look at you now get the smoke
Speaker 3: free for pretty five years exactly.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm doing really well. Was able to kick that.
Speaker 2: Pretty much one day at a time. You know, well played, Jody,
Speaker 2: well play, I'll see myself.
Speaker 5: You win this round.
Speaker 4: You don't see yourself out. You doubled down and bring
Speaker 4: in the next calendar.
Speaker 1: Well, Mom and Dad always had such a great mindset
Speaker 1: regarding the three of us being in Hollywood. You know,
Speaker 1: they always emphasize that this is a hobby and you
Speaker 1: don't have to do it, Like as long as you're
Speaker 1: done under contract, you can quit at any time. You
Speaker 1: just quit on the one oh one Freeway when you're
Speaker 1: on the way to an audition, rank or Hungary. So
Speaker 1: that's where we kind of took different paths because you know,
Speaker 1: you were starting high school and developing new interests, and
Speaker 1: I was under contract with full House by the time I.
Speaker 2: Got trying to say he quit on the one o
Speaker 2: one freeway. No, but tell me about.
Speaker 1: Your decision to leave the business and what mom and
Speaker 1: dad thought, what Judy thought, Like, how did you come
Speaker 1: to that decision?
Speaker 4: You know, I don't know what Judy thought. I'm sure
Speaker 4: she was supportive of it. She understood it. Once again,
Speaker 4: economics come into play. It was getting very difficult to
Speaker 4: land rules in high school because they could cast eighteen
Speaker 4: year olds to play younger and then there's a social worker,
Speaker 4: no tutoring, and it just saved a bunch of time,
Speaker 4: and plus you could work longer hours. So I understand
Speaker 4: the economics of it. And after my freshman year in
Speaker 4: high school, I just said, you know what, I think
Speaker 4: I'm done. I want to play high school sports and
Speaker 4: be involved in that because I'm just knocking in the
Speaker 4: auditions and stuff, and it it just.
Speaker 5: That was a better path for me.
Speaker 4: I mean, Andrea had had a wonderful trajectory from Days
Speaker 4: of Our Lives to commercials, Days of our Lives, more commercials,
Speaker 4: Movie the Week, Full House. I mean it was really,
Speaker 4: you know, going well for her, and that's awesome, but
Speaker 4: as the older brother, you keep going out and not
Speaker 4: getting roles and then like, oh we cast an eighteen
Speaker 4: year old, we cast a twenty one year old, even
Speaker 4: in Avida, although there were six kids, one of them
Speaker 4: was twenty four and the other one was thirty two.
Speaker 4: I mean, talk about casting and putting people in multiple roles.
Speaker 4: So that's when I decided my better path for success
Speaker 4: and enjoyment was just to leave and do high school
Speaker 4: and then if I ever wanted to go back and.
Speaker 5: Revisit it, I would, but we just kind of see
Speaker 5: how it would go.
Speaker 4: And I actually left for college right as Andrea landed
Speaker 4: the full House role, so I wasn't actually living at
Speaker 4: home when that all started, which brings up a whole
Speaker 4: other dynamic and everything.
Speaker 1: So right, Yeah, that's true. So we're seven years apart.
Speaker 1: You're seven years older than I am. So yeah, during
Speaker 1: the full house years, we didn't live at mom and
Speaker 1: dad's house together for a while until you moved back
Speaker 1: when you started law school. And then you want to
Speaker 1: save some money, and you know law schools is very expensive,
Speaker 1: so you move back in with mom and dad, and
Speaker 1: then we had to share a bathroom. Yeah, which, yes,
Speaker 1: about a whole new dynamic between you and me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that went really well, that went super well.
Speaker 4: It was me complaining every day, like, she's in the
Speaker 4: bathroom for an hour, I've got a drive to La
Speaker 4: in my car with no air conditioning to go to
Speaker 4: law school. I need to shower. Can we just get
Speaker 4: a schedule, And repeatedly my mom and dad wouldn't address
Speaker 4: it and just let her stay in there for a
Speaker 4: half hour or two an hour, and I'm like, I'll
Speaker 4: go at six o'clock, at six thirty, like, let's just
Speaker 4: figure this out.
Speaker 5: And being the youngest.
Speaker 4: And only girl in the family, there was absolute preferential treatment.
Speaker 4: I would bang on the door hurry up, and I
Speaker 4: think she would intentionally slow down to uh not that.
Speaker 3: I have definitely seen that happen with my two kids,
Speaker 3: where you're like, oh.
Speaker 2: And I mean, I get it.
Speaker 3: Somebody hanks at me if I'm not moving to I'm like,
Speaker 3: oh no, now I will die in this sparking spot.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: At one point, I remember just getting so frustrated. I
Speaker 4: just walked into mom and Dad's master bathroom and started showering.
Speaker 4: Dad's like, what the hell are you doing? And I'm like,
Speaker 4: my shower's taken. Go deal with your daughter. I gotta
Speaker 4: get it.
Speaker 5: I was over it, just absolutely over it, because understanding that.
Speaker 5: You know, obviously Andrew, like I said, was successful, but
Speaker 5: this was probably the biggest success that she had had
Speaker 5: in terms of popularity and notoriety.
Speaker 4: And I wasn't a part of that or living that.
Speaker 4: And I'm just her older brother. I've been older brother
Speaker 4: my entire life, so there's that constant sibling rival.
Speaker 5: I don't see rivalry, but just you know, she.
Speaker 3: Was throwing her ego around in regards to using the bathroom.
Speaker 3: She was like, look, I'm going to be in here
Speaker 3: as long as I want and and there's nothing you
Speaker 3: can do about it.
Speaker 2: And that's I get it. Yeah, I've seen that side
Speaker 2: of a b.
Speaker 1: No, it was an ego, but there was definitely like
Speaker 1: little sister Oblivia. I was just like what I need.
Speaker 1: I need the shower, I need the bathroom. And you're
Speaker 1: a boy, so you know, goay, Like I just I
Speaker 1: didn't care.
Speaker 2: I was like whatever he can deal. Yeah, well what
Speaker 2: you were probably like what fifteen? Yeah I was, and
Speaker 2: he was like twenty two.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, No one else exists with me age.
Speaker 4: Like Andrea said, our parents did a really good job
Speaker 4: of trying to keep us grounded, and we constantly went
Speaker 4: to school in the public school system.
Speaker 5: When we were on set, being tutored or whatever.
Speaker 4: And so you know that there was a normal routine
Speaker 4: that Andrea had, you know, being the only one in
Speaker 4: the house at that point, the only child in the house.
Speaker 4: And that was disrupted when I came back to live
Speaker 4: at home, so I could not pay rent and go
Speaker 4: ahead and just try to save money to limit the
Speaker 4: loans for law school and.
Speaker 5: And you know, go through that journey next.
Speaker 4: But you got to find a way to coexist in
Speaker 4: that whole in that whole process, and.
Speaker 5: I wasn't handled well by either one of us.
Speaker 4: And you know, she's always my little sister, and so
Speaker 4: that's how I view her, or other people don't.
Speaker 5: I constantly view her that way.
Speaker 4: And so there was the older sibling, you know, there's
Speaker 4: the teasing, there's the the rivalries, there's all the stuff
Speaker 4: that goes on in the normal sibling dynamics. And that's
Speaker 4: how I've always thought of her or viewed her. And
Speaker 4: it's funny because other people don't. And I have to
Speaker 4: remind myself of that at times.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well, I mean it's like any family, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean, You're like, that's they're not a
Speaker 3: famous person, that's my whatever, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: Like they're they annoy me right right.
Speaker 4: I can tell you story after story, you know where
Speaker 4: people will say, I didn't know your sister was on
Speaker 4: Full House?
Speaker 5: Why didn't you tell me?
Speaker 4: And I'll say, I don't know what your sibling does
Speaker 4: for a living, Like why would I Why would I
Speaker 4: open with that? Like, Hi, I'm Darren Barber.
Speaker 5: By the way, my sister's on Full House, you know, and.
Speaker 3: So here's what you should Apparently people are that's what
Speaker 3: the people want, you.
Speaker 5: Know, apparently. But I'm like, yeah, she's my sister, Andy.
Speaker 4: Like I don't know, I don't know what else to
Speaker 4: tell you, you know, I mean that that's how I
Speaker 4: that's how I know her and relate related.
Speaker 3: I guess it's like when people ask us like, oh
Speaker 3: my god, isn't John Stamo so cute and you're like,
Speaker 3: I don't, it's I've known him too no, no, no,
Speaker 3: too long.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, and I attribute to you and justin like,
Speaker 1: that's the reason why I was so grounded because of
Speaker 1: Mom and dad, for sure, but also because I had
Speaker 1: two older brothers who were.
Speaker 2: Constantly keeping me in check.
Speaker 1: You know, anytime you think that, I know, you've got
Speaker 1: stories about how like my ego would kind of ge
Speaker 1: get to me. I kind of got a little bit
Speaker 1: of a big head. I think you're kind of exaggerating
Speaker 1: in line about that, but you guys kept me in check.
Speaker 1: You know. If ever I was like, you know, being
Speaker 1: recognized in public, and if I didn't feel like saying
Speaker 1: hi to the fan, you were like, no, go say
Speaker 1: hi to that fan, Like these.
Speaker 2: People are the ones that are keeping you employed.
Speaker 1: You're gonna go say hi to that fan and make
Speaker 1: that a moment for them that came from you and Mom.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, and maybe I guess I would agree with
Speaker 4: that to a small extent, but I think the more
Speaker 4: I think more of the I don't know, ego, I
Speaker 4: guess is the right word. But you definitely played on
Speaker 4: being the youngest girl and Dad's favorite and stuff way
Speaker 4: more than the celebrity piece. I mean, that's where, that's
Speaker 4: where most of the interactions and stuff. I mean, she
Speaker 4: she has and continues to have Dad wrapped around her finger,
Speaker 4: you know, where it's I as the eldest and the trailblazer,
Speaker 4: and it's like, you know, no kid of mine's going
Speaker 4: to get a brand new sports car, you know, you
Speaker 4: know when they start to drive and every thing, and
Speaker 4: then Andrea suddenly has a red accurate Integra that's brand new,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh, so, what happened to that rule
Speaker 4: Dad that I miss?
Speaker 5: Did I miss a change in the third?
Speaker 2: There are no rules?
Speaker 3: By the second You're like, dude, yeah, it doesn't really matter,
Speaker 3: you know, Like, so yeah, I get it.
Speaker 2: And the only girl I can only imagine.
Speaker 1: In my defense though, because of my success as a
Speaker 1: child actor, I was able to buy that car myself
Speaker 1: when I turned eighteen, So I'm trying to rub it
Speaker 1: an in or anything but it's not like my parents
Speaker 1: like here here, here's a brand new car. It's like
Speaker 1: I've worked for most of my life at this point
Speaker 1: for this, I'm going to celebrate.
Speaker 2: I'm going to buy my first car.
Speaker 1: So there's you know, some nuance behind those stories. But
Speaker 1: you guys definitely love this is great.
Speaker 3: I'm just watching this and go back and forth like
Speaker 3: there's nuance.
Speaker 5: No, but it was a little yeah.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say it was so much the celebrity aspect
Speaker 4: of it as it was the family dynamics and if
Speaker 4: there was any celebrity component what to it. It was,
Speaker 4: you know, the mom and Andrea had a very close relationship,
Speaker 4: and my dad just loves a celebrity thing.
Speaker 5: I mean, my.
Speaker 4: Dad just he leans into it so far he's horizontal.
Speaker 4: The guy just can't get enough of it, wearing the
Speaker 4: full house jacket around.
Speaker 3: My dad did the same thing with the full house
Speaker 3: hat and the you know, and he my dad would
Speaker 3: lead with like we'd go into like a coffee shop
Speaker 3: or restaurant and be like, hey, this is my famous job,
Speaker 3: and you're like.
Speaker 2: Can you know, oh my god, what are you doing?
Speaker 3: But like not like they were just so excited and
Speaker 3: so proud, and they.
Speaker 4: Should be, but it is awkward. I would imagine your
Speaker 4: shoes to go do we really have to wear that?
Speaker 4: So if they're like, oh that looks familiar, Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: now I know because I can read your hat.
Speaker 2: Or your right.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like a billboard looks like I don't
Speaker 1: walk around with the billboards your show I'm on next
Speaker 1: to me, his dad's wearing the well the full House Merge.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: But you know, the great part of those things are
Speaker 4: there are those moments in time where it becomes so
Speaker 4: routine that when it's not something that you usually well,
Speaker 4: it's absolutely hilarious. And we had a moment at Disneyland
Speaker 4: as a family and we were walking towards Cinderella's Castle
Speaker 4: and these tours from Asia had come up to us,
Speaker 4: and they went to Andrew and said, you know, can
Speaker 4: we get a picture? And Andrew's like, sure, And so
Speaker 4: she goes and stands in the middle of the family
Speaker 4: of four, puts her arms around them, and they're kind
Speaker 4: of looking at her and holding the camera and stuff.
Speaker 4: And I suddenly realized they had no idea who she is.
Speaker 4: She's just random Disneyland visitor that they've asked to take.
Speaker 2: A picture, take their picture right right, not with us, right.
Speaker 4: He'd like you to take the photograph, you know. And
Speaker 4: so she just had automatically gone into full house mode
Speaker 4: and we're dying, and so.
Speaker 5: Of course she takes the photo.
Speaker 4: They're happy, they walked off, and man, Justin and I
Speaker 4: were just into her for the next hour, you know,
Speaker 4: in terms of oh, maybe should go stand with that family,
Speaker 4: maybe go over there and have that one.
Speaker 5: You know that that was.
Speaker 4: The automaticity of you like, yeah, I know the gig,
Speaker 4: I do this, blah blah blah, and like, nope, that's
Speaker 4: not what they were asking. Yeah, those are the great
Speaker 4: moments for for us as the older siblings to every
Speaker 4: once in a while you get to check yourself.
Speaker 3: So yeah, my kids check me all the time. They're
Speaker 3: like ooh at Jody Sweeten official. I'm like, can you
Speaker 3: still like they just make fun of yeah, just make
Speaker 3: fun of me.
Speaker 4: Well, and I'm sure your kids also are just they
Speaker 4: love it, but at the same time they'll never admit it.
Speaker 4: You know, they want to use it, utilize it as currency,
Speaker 4: but otherwise, no, that's.
Speaker 3: My mom, sure, big yeah, for sure, it's ill mom,
Speaker 3: until it's hey, mom, which is kind of just life
Speaker 3: as a mom anyway.
