Speaker 5: So it's the show. And you know, I listened to

46
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 5: mostly the writer ones like Lenny Rips and Doug between

47
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,400

50
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 4: actually had a Hyundai before we even started doing the show.

51
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:33,639

00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: And oh oh that's what we that's that's what we

54
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 2: drove to Vegas.

55
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 4: Heard that one of the things that obviously you've been

56
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 4: listening to the podcast. That you know we love to

57
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 4: do is get to talk to writers and and people

58
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 4: who have been in this business forever and ask them

59
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 4: like how they started, because obviously when we were kids

60
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 4: working on the show, like you know, we weren't sitting around.

61
00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: Like, so, how did you get started in a bid?

62
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 5: Uh?

63
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 4: But it's fascinating and we worked with so many like

64
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 4: amazing people in this industry. So from the very beginning,

65
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 4: what was your what what made you want to get

66
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 4: into this business or what was your first job? How

67
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 4: did how did this all come about for you?

68
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 5: Well, it started Dennis Rinseler, who was you know, you

69
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 5: know we were We met in college and we bonded

70
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 5: over bad women's prison movies. So we just started laughing

71
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 5: about that stuff. And then we both became teachers to

72
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 5: get out of the draft that was like the Vietnam War,

73
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 5: and if you taught in a disadvantage neighborhood, you got

74
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 5: a draft department. So Dennis would teach in the Bronx

75
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 5: and I was teaching in Brooklyn, and we would call

76
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 5: each other up at the end of the day, what

77
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,839
Speaker 5: happened in your school? What happened? And it was these

78
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 5: crazy stories of you know, like stoned out, draft dodger teachers.

79
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 5: Not not necessarily, but we might have fit a little.

80
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 5: And we were just, you know, laugh about those things.

81
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 5: And then at one point we another friend of ours

82
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 5: who would become a magazine editor, said, you know, you

83
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 5: guys have such great stories, why didn't you wanted't you

84
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 5: write some stuff from my magazine, which was it was

85
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 5: actually a like a High Times type magazine called Rush.

86
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 5: It was High Times competitor, and at the time I

87
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 5: was a drug prevention coordinator, which was very ironic also

88
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 5: at the time, but I would I was supposed to

89
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 5: teach kids about the dangers of drugs, but what I

90
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 5: did more was like I wrote plays and sketches and

91
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 5: things for them. So that's how I kind of got

92
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 5: into into the writing part of it. And then Dennis

93
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 5: and I did a parody of the really bad drug

94
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 5: prevention materials that they would send us, like the OS

95
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 5: Day don't you Drugs? Like, you know, the kids are

96
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 5: really going to listen to the Osmonds right right, And

97
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 5: our friend published it and that got a little bit

98
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 5: of attention, and then we said, oh, this writing thing

99
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 5: is it's kind of fun. So we submitted a couple

100
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 5: of things to National Lampoon, which they accepted. So now

101
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 5: it's like, well, this is more than fun, this could

102
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 5: really be something. So we got together when we wrote

103
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 5: a screenplay about crazy teachers in these in these urban schools, right,

104
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 5: and we wrote it with this third guy who was

105
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 5: the magazine guy, and he came out to Hollywood. He

106
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 5: rented a red Cadillac. He printed it was called chalk

107
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 5: and he printed it on like a black it looked

108
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 5: like a blackboard, and he told up the catalog and

109
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 5: he gave it out to producers all over Hollywood and

110
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 5: somebody optioned it for thirty thousand dollars.

111
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

112
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 5: We were teachers, you know, and our friend called and said,

113
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 5: I sold it, got made. He said, but I told

114
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 5: it what do you want to do and said, we're

115
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 5: you know, that's it. We're coming out. So it took

116
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 5: about another year to get everything together. We had to

117
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 5: quit our jobs and convince our wives, you know, take

118
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 5: this huge risk, and we drove out, you know, like

119
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 5: in our in our cars. We packed our cars up.

120
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 5: My son was four years old at the time. We

121
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 5: put on the Muppet tape for like, you know, yes

122
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 5: Revolutions of it, and we came out here and we

123
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 5: went up to our agent who had said, what do

124
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 5: you guys need, I'll get your jobs. You can be

125
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 5: on a sitcom. And he was literally quitting that day.

126
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 5: He was walking out with a box of his stock,

127
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 5: and we're like, you're.

128
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: Like, glad we caught you.

129
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, really, you promised us jobs. This business is screwed,

130
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 5: forget it. It stinks. So we're like, we moved out here.

131
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 5: We're stuck. We have our families. Dan has had a son,

132
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 5: I had a son, and we just had to start

133
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 5: to hustle. And they gave us a new agent at

134
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 5: this was CIA Okay, gave us a guy out of

135
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,679
Speaker 5: the mail room named Rob Rothman who read our stuff

136
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 5: and believed in us and sent it out to He

137
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 5: would get down on his knees and beg people to

138
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 5: give us jobs. Right, We wound up on a show. Well,

139
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 5: the first show he did was a reality show for

140
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 5: Scott Baio, which didn't go anywhere. My favorite, our first

141
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 5: writing job, who was a guest on Full House.

142
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, we reviewed, we went over that episode. It was a.

143
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 2: Thing.

144
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 5: And then we got a job on the show called

145
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 5: Madam's Place, which was a early eighties.

146
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: Wait, was it Madam the puppet Madam?

147
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 4: Yes, okay, Madam scared of me as a kid, Madam.

148
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: I remember watching it on whatever show.

149
00:07:54,840 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 5: It was probably what was Matt Hollywood Squares or Solid.

150
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: Goal, solid Gold. It was solid Gold and.

151
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 4: Madam would come on and I don't know why, but

152
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 4: Madam scared the crap at it. Well, now it's hilarious,

153
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 4: but at the time it was something about it. I

154
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 4: did Madam freak me out.

155
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 5: Well, this was a crazy show because you only saw Madam.

156
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 5: You didn't see Whalen. Madam lived in a mansion and

157
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 5: had her own talk show, and she had a staff

158
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 5: of servants in the house right wrapped with It was

159
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 5: a daily sitcom. They shot it like a soap opera

160
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 5: show a day. We had eighteen writers and we'd work

161
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 5: in shifts to churn out these scripts. And the poor

Speaker 4: circulation in his hand yet.

166
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 5: Bob Sagett was on the show because part of the

167
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 5: show is a talk show. Bob was on the show.

168
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,760

Speaker 5: five episode, so it's in like four months.

171
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: Oh wow.

172
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 5: There was a crash course in sitcom writing and writing

173
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 5: and the writer's room.

174
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: Right.

175
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 5: There were guys on it from radio, you know, like

176
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 5: from the Jack Benny Show, and then there were young

177
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 5: guys like us who really hadn't done anything or you know,

178
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 5: people who had worked on you know, Laverne and Shirley

179
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 5: things like that. So we learned so much from from

180
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 5: that experience and that kind of part us on our way.

181
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: Wow, that's so cool. That's I mean, that's I had

182
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: no idea.

183
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 5: But so so from there we we kind of wound

184
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 5: up at Universal with Amy Heckerling and this guy Alan Rucker. Yeah.

185
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

186
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 5: We did a show called Fast Times, which is Fast

187
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 5: Times at Richemont High TV version. It was a terrific show,

188
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 5: single camera. Patrick Dempsey was in it, and you know

189
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 5: a bunch of bunch of kid yeah yeah, really weren't

190
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 5: known and we did it was on the wrong network,

191
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 5: it was on CBS, So the show got canceled, but

192
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 5: they signed this to a deal at Universal, so we

193
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 5: had a an overall deal there. We had an office

194
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 5: we had a secretary we could I mean, it was ridiculous.

195
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 5: And we're working on a Joe Piscopol pilot and I

196
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 5: don't know if you know who Joe, Yeah, yeah, from

197
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 5: you know SNL days. And then there was a writer

198
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 5: strike in eighty.

199
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: Seven, right, that's the last writer strike.

200
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 5: Last writer strike. And my son had just my youngest

201
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 5: son had just been born, and suddenly we were out

202
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 5: of a job. We were out of our deal. We

203
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 5: were out of work for six or seven months. And

204
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 5: we went to a party at Amy Heckling's house and

205
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 5: we met this guy there named Jeff Franklin and uh

206
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 5: Amy and her her husband at the time, Neil Israel said,

207
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 5: you know, you should when the strike's are you should

208
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 5: talk to these guys because they're really good writers. Our

209
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 5: show are canceled. And you know, by coincidence, had Don

210
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 5: Van Adam.

211
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 4: Yes, we just reviewed an episode that took place at

212
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 4: Dan out of Junior High.

213
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go.

214
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 5: He was the one of the producers on Madam's Place.

215
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 5: Now he was on Full House. We have that kind

216
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 5: of endorsement to Jeff. So when the strike was over,

217
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 5: they hired us as producers on the show. We spent

218
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 5: seven years there, and then five more years that Warner

219
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 5: Brothers doing shows there, and then like it's like eighteen

220
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 5: years at Disney Channel. Oh wow, so it's yeah, it's

221
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 5: been fun.

222
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 4: So all it started as making fun of things and

223
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 4: now and now you've been in the business forever.

224
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 5: It was really an excuse to get stoned with Dennis.

225
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 4: I'd most kind of good writing careers start, I feel

226
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 4: like is Yeah, it was just.

227
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: An excuse to smoke Pott and then here I am

228
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: running a shot. It is right now.

229
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 4: The first episode that you produced was season two, right,

230
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 4: Season two, episode two, Tanner Versus Gibbler.

231
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 5: Well, we were on season two, right. We came on

232
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 5: after after the writers strike and that and full House.

233
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 5: You know, you guys who were kind of shaking the

234
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 5: first season. Yeah, because there wasn't much TV, there wasn't

235
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 5: much inventory, they started running it a lot and then

236
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 5: it got this wave of popularity. So season two we

237
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 5: came on and you already had a little bit of

238
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 5: a of a toe hold.

239
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

240
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then we needed to work out some kinks

241
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 2: from the Sea Crews episode where it was like the

242
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 2: Bachelor pad on water, Like, yeah, we needed the full

243
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 2: house needed to find its footing, and I think by

244
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 2: season two they finally realized it's a family show, not

245
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: a bat I.

246
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 5: Think part of what Yeah, Dennis and I brought was

247
00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 5: we were parents.

248
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think.

249
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 5: The first season, I don't know if anyone was a

250
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 5: parent on that on the writing staff that I.

251
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: Could probably yeah.

252
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 5: Maybe Kim Weiskough maybe, I think had a little daughter.

253
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 5: Exc had a daughter about the age of them, Yeah,

254
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 5: but you know, other than that, but I had two kids, Dennis,

255
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 5: Dennis had a son, and we started pitching more of

256
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 5: the of the parenting stories. I think that helped maybe

257
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 5: make the shift a little bit into.

258
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: It for sure, well, because it became about this. You know.

259
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 4: One thing that Full House always, we say, always did

260
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 4: really well was that the storylines weren't just about the

261
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 4: kids or just about the parents. It was about how

262
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 4: something affected everyone in the house. Usually it was it

263
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 4: was the whole family was involved in whatever was needing

264
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 4: to be solved, right, And that was I was always

265
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 4: really proud of that for the show, because so many

266
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 4: kids just kind of got you know, they were like,

267
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 4: we'll just include them later when we need something. But

268
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 4: it was very much a part of Full house and storylines, you.

269
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 5: Know, complately, and it was finding that balance between the

270
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 5: adult stories and the kids stories and kid adult stories.

271
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 5: And then we would almost make flow charts up. Well

272
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 5: let's see, you know, we have a Stephanie Danny story.

273
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 5: We need a Joey Michelle's story.

274
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: Different combinations.

275
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, to make sure everybody was kind of covered in

276
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 5: the storylines, and we also had to give everybody and

277
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 5: the show is very difficult to write. People don't realize

278
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 5: how hard it was to write, because we really tried

279
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 5: to weave at least a runner through an arc for

280
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 5: every character and intersect them, you know, and dovetail them

281
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 5: throughout the episode. And it was it was challenging.

282
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, especially when we got to like nineteen hundred

283
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 4: guest members.

284
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: There was a lot of storylines and people, you know, they.

285
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 5: We love writing Kimmy. We love writing Kimmy.

286
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 4: Kimmy was so great. I mean, that was such a

287
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 4: great character to write for.

288
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: We oh man, she's great. I got a joy. I

289
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: was going to say that.

290
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 4: We recently recapped season three, episode nineteen, which was Those

291
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 4: Better Not Be the Days, which is where we do

292
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 4: the flash forward.

293
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: Oh right, yeah, where the three guys or old men. Yeah,

294
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: a Laurie was the old lady. What was what was

295
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: that like writing that show? Do you remember? I mean,

296
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: were they just ridiculous the whole time?

297
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 5: Specifically other than you know, at some point in the

298
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 5: season you try to be like their flashbacks. We did

299
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 5: a couple of flashback episodes and then somebody in the

300
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 5: writers who play sad, why don't do a flash forward

301
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 5: and have some fun. Put the guys in old age

302
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 5: makeup and you know, hire and see what the girls

303
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 5: would look like. I believe Dave met one of his

304
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 5: wives on that.

305
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: Yeah Jane, Yeah.

306
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 5: Jane, Jane, who did look exactly like?

307
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.

308
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, it was an episode I think.

309
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looked like the actors were having a lot

310
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 2: of fun.

311
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, they just we're having a blast.

312
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 5: Especially the guys, because you know, when you were kids,

313
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 5: you guys never complained. I mean, you were total pros.

314
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 5: But the guys, you know, every once in a while,

315
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 5: your bitch and Bob Bob used to say, what's my line?

316
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 5: I walk into every room and I say, what's going on? So, yeah,

317
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 5: we did it. So we you know, we we try

318
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 5: to make sure everybody had at least a little something

319
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 5: to play in every episode, and this was really fun

320
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 5: for them.

321
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, this one they had.

322
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 4: All we could think about was that they must have

323
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 4: how do they get through a scene being the little

324
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 4: old men, because we know they could They couldn't make

325
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 4: it through a scene just doing a normal scene, let

326
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 4: alone drest and make being ridiculous.

327
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 5: And I think they played it all as like old Jewish.

328
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: They were all right, they were all yeah. It was

329
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: like they all became life.

330
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 4: They all became a little old Jewish men in the day.

331
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, they became different people. But it

332
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 4: was great, right, well, I think, but you know what, though,

333
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 4: as you age that actually does happen, you start going

334
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 4: why why?

335
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, they stand up, that's true.

336
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 5: Happens.

337
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 4: Well that I mean that dream sequence was considerably better

338
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 4: than the one we did a few episodes before.

339
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: Was it, Oh bye bye Bertie.

Speaker 1: It was terrified always.

345
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 5: Did later on, which I what was funny. But people

346
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 5: didn't like when Michelle dreamt that she had giant feet.

347
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's terrib I don't remember that that was, Yes.

348
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,280

349
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 5: says that she has big feet, and then she goes

350
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 5: to sleep and she has these gigantic feet in the

351
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 5: keep growing. I think eventually they explode and like.

352
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: Very Alice in Wonderland growing out of the House sort

353
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: of like.

354
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 5: I love those kind of shows, but I don't know

355
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 5: if the fans of that one.

356
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what their hit or miss.

357
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 4: Sometimes sometimes you want you're like, oh, this was funny,

358
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 4: and sometimes you're like, well, this.

359
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: Is the eighties and nineties when we were doing some

360
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: things where.

361
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what were some of your favorite episodes that

362
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 2: you wrote or not, Like, just what are some episodes

363
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 2: that stand out in your mind writing?

364
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 5: What I think what people don't realize on most shows

365
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,959
Speaker 5: is at least on Full House and most of these

366
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 5: shows we've done, is that they're almost a little group written. Yeah,

367
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 5: so when you ask a writer like what was your

368
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 5: favorite episode, that you're right, there's a good chance you

369
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,239
Speaker 5: didn't write a single word of that episode, and it

370
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 5: was It's very collaborative and a very fun process. But

371
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 5: in terms of I liked I like the Dinis, remember

372
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 5: the Dinosaur episode when when Michelle was on a school

373
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 5: trip and all the bones kind of.

374
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, that was.

375
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 5: Fun, I think production wise to figure it was always

376
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 5: fun when when Dennis and I became the showrunners, like

377
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 5: figuring out that production stuff was really fun and really

378
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 5: challenging and what what are production? Yeah, oh my god,

379
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:28,320

Speaker 4: We didn't do to full House was light on that

381
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,320

383
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,440

389
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,760

390
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 5: the celebrity was and they weren't necessarily the greatest episodes,

391
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 5: but I got a chance to meet so many of

392
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 5: my heroes or people that I had admired, and in

393
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 5: some cases it was like the little Richard one was crazy. Yeah,

394
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 5: that was so much fun, Like the energy he brought

395
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 5: to the standard. If you remember he was ending out

396
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,400

445
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:11,920

446
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 4: You know, just like Joel's the only person that could

447
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 4: handle directing that man.

00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember that.

477
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 5: Then I we met and Wayne Newton.

Speaker 1: Knew the Vegas. Yeah.

479
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:45,600

00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 5: like but a sweet guy, you know, you know, how

481
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 5: would I have a chance. You know, I'm a kid

482
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 5: from Brooklyn, Like, how do I get a chance to

483
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 5: meet you know, Wayne Newton? Right?

484
00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:58,719
Speaker 3: Yeah?

485
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 5: So you know the show great for that, so and

486
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 5: the Beach Boys of course you know that.

487
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah that was classic.

488
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 5: Yeah.

489
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 2: So did you pitch these ideas in the room, like say, hey,

490
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 2: let's have an episode of Wayne Newton or Mickey Rooney,

491
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 2: remember ideas or Mickey Rooney Macaroni in the room and trying.

492
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 3: To get.

493
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 4: I'm still so mad and I think I'm gonna make

494
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:21,959
Speaker 4: it even though he's not around anymore.

495
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: It's a great idea.

496
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 5: Probably a lot of them probably came out of they

497
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 5: wanted a stunt cast. Certain episodes, usually for sweeps, so

498
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 5: it would be like who can we get and you

499
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 5: will probably start with, uh, you know, Tom Hanks, and

500
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 5: then we work our way down to Mickey Rooney. You know,

501
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 5: who is available? Who would do it? I remember there

502
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 5: was one episode where where DJ had that rich boyfriend,

503
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 5: remember right right, yeah, very good, very good. You've been

504
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 5: studying it, I should and uh so he wants to

505
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 5: bring a big star, so I think he was like

506
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 5: Boys the Man or something. But they in like the

507
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 5: early nineties were trying to get somebody really big for

508
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 5: him to bring and sing a love song to DJ.

509
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 5: We couldn't get anybody, so we went up with Frankie Valley. Right,

510
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 5: My generation was great, but you guys were like who

511
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 5: were like, you know, she was a great actress, so

512
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 5: she was like Frankie Valley, Oh my god, Nelson, it's

513
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 5: so wonderful. She had no idea who it was.

514
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, she really had to turn on the actress stills

515
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 2: for that episode.

516
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 4: I feel like that was a lot of it, though,

517
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 4: Like there were definitely a lot of like again now

518
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 4: actors or entertainers or musicians or whatever that now as

519
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,800
