Speaker 1: of How Rude Canna Ritos. Today we are joined by
Speaker 1: a very special guest. We have Deborah Stipe on the podcast,
Speaker 1: who you know as Cindy, Danny's girlfriend, who is equally
Speaker 1: as obsessed with cleaning as he is, and she has
Speaker 1: quite the prankster for a son. We can't wait to
Speaker 1: talk to Deborah about all things Full House and what
Speaker 1: it was like to play a guest star that is
Speaker 1: loved by so many. So please welcome Deborah.
Speaker 2: Hi Deborah, Oh there you are.
Speaker 1: Hi, you good you, thank you for joining us.
Speaker 3: I got to see Jody very very very briefly in
Speaker 3: Los Angeles, but now I get to see you too. Andrea.
Speaker 2: Oh yay? Where wait? Where did we run into each other?
Speaker 3: Well? Okay, so I was filming in an episode of
Speaker 3: Full House. Rewind Oh yes.
Speaker 2: That's right, and you were coming in. That's right.
Speaker 3: The one thing you like, I don't know? You like?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 3: Lost your I think you lost your wallet?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the something I couldn't find I didn't like. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was I I left the house and I had
Speaker 2: taken my wallet out of my purse and it was
Speaker 2: like only street parking, so I had to ask, can
Speaker 2: you pay for my street park Like it was just
Speaker 2: one of like a stupid thing, but it was like
Speaker 2: I just didn't and then I was like going to
Speaker 2: do a bunch of other stuff. So I was probably
Speaker 2: in a tizzy that I didn't have my my wallet.
Speaker 2: But yes, I do remember that. That was so fun
Speaker 2: very much.
Speaker 1: You get tizzy when I don't have my wallet, right,
Speaker 1: But we just watched uh, Terror in Tanner Town last night,
Speaker 1: and we just recapped that episode. Oh my goodness, your
Speaker 1: first episode on Full House outstanding. You meet Cindy and
Speaker 1: Rusty who are just quite the duo.
Speaker 2: Or wow, Cindy, she's really yeah, really struggling.
Speaker 3: That was an episode. Yeah, yeah, sorry, especially with you, Stephanie.
Speaker 3: That was rough. He really uh hard time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think stuff gets him back in a
Speaker 2: particular episode, so we're gonna be all right. But but yeah,
Speaker 2: we were just joking about that too, because I think
Speaker 2: he says something about, you know, this means war and
Speaker 2: stuffs like any.
Speaker 3: Time challenge excepted.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: When I auditioned for that girls, it was like I
Speaker 3: walked in and they paired us up with kids. Oh right,
Speaker 3: like certain auditions you've had, like and they just kind
Speaker 3: of like forever live in your mind and memory. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: with them, because when I met that kid, I was
Speaker 3: engaged at the time, but I didn't have any children,
Speaker 3: and I looked at him and I was like, I mean,
Speaker 3: if I had a kid, it wouldn't be him, right,
Speaker 3: Oh yes, I just thought we resembled each other. And
Speaker 3: we got to audition together.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 3: It was so fun working with him, and we were
Speaker 3: all like, both of us were the newbies on the sete.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so there's some comfort in that, which is great.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh no. We were talking about what a great job
Speaker 2: Jordan did playing just an absolutely like terrible kid that
Speaker 2: you you know, a character you love to hate exactly exactly.
Speaker 3: That's a fine line, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, very much. Now did you audition like separately
Speaker 2: first and then get called back to do readings with
Speaker 2: the kids or were they just sort of like you
Speaker 2: you read together, right, right? It was like that, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: and I remember those days.
Speaker 3: And so then we went out in the hall and
Speaker 3: kind of like you know, quick run through, get to
Speaker 3: know each other, and then we were in and I
Speaker 3: just remember we had fun. Yeah, you know, I think
Speaker 3: you know, you've had a good audition, especially for a
Speaker 3: project like this. I was like, that was fun. You know,
Speaker 3: Joe was in there, and I think Bob was in there,
Speaker 3: and there was this chemistry and fun and yeah, I
Speaker 3: got a strong maternal instinct even before I was a mom,
Speaker 3: So that was just it was a whole lot of fun.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, you were a great mom. Like when
Speaker 2: you grabbed his face and like we're going to talk that,
Speaker 2: I was like, I remember my mom doing that, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, like just the arab of the chin.
Speaker 2: You're like, oh no, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Did you audition? Was it a scene from that episode
Speaker 1: or was it just a random scene that Jeff had
Speaker 1: given you? Do you remember?
Speaker 3: I think it was two scenes. I think it was
Speaker 3: our first scene because I think they wanted to see
Speaker 3: how Bob and I would.
Speaker 2: You know, chemistry read for you guys, yeah.
Speaker 3: Artonizing right, right, So it was that scene and then
Speaker 3: it was some scene with with uh with Rusty maybe
Speaker 3: at the dinner.
Speaker 2: Table okay, okay, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, reprimand to him. I'm nervous about leaving because.
Speaker 1: Right, you know, you know your kid and you know
Speaker 1: that he's gonna make some trouble.
Speaker 2: We came up with a theory that that that maybe
Speaker 2: she knows that her kid is kind of a terror,
Speaker 2: and so she's like, I'm bringing him to these people's
Speaker 2: houses and then I suddenly have to go have an
Speaker 2: emergency the drag cleaner. I'm gonna be gone all day,
Speaker 2: And she is just like, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: because we're like, what is an emergency at a drag
Speaker 2: cleaner's What does that do?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: What is it? Where?
Speaker 1: Yeah? What were you doing all day at the store?
Speaker 3: That was so I think she was.
Speaker 2: Like, I can't take this kid today. I'm gonna, you
Speaker 2: know what, go meet other people?
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, stained from dressing.
Speaker 3: But I mean like something that would be like urgent, right.
Speaker 3: I never played it like I was testing him or
Speaker 3: testing Bob like. I played it like there was a
Speaker 3: legit emergency.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, that's there was a legit emergency. I
Speaker 2: just like to I go off on tangents where I
Speaker 2: create absolutely ridiculous stories about what's really going on on
Speaker 2: full House. Uh yeah, and it's usually has nothing to
Speaker 2: do with what's actually happening.
Speaker 3: But I'm sure you're talking some really great storylines. I'd
Speaker 3: like to hear some.
Speaker 2: Oh oh, just ridiculous stuff. Yeah, do you remember your
Speaker 2: first day on set with everybody? I mean you kind
Speaker 2: you met jor first you guys had that the audition together,
Speaker 2: so that was kind of nice at least, But do
Speaker 2: you remember like coming on to set, were you nervous?
Speaker 2: Was it overwhelming?
Speaker 3: Or I will say, like, you guys were such a family,
Speaker 3: and the beauty of that is like you were this
Speaker 3: super fun family, but also like you are truly the
Speaker 3: new kid on the block. So anytime as you're showing
Speaker 3: up to do like a guest spot or something, you
Speaker 3: are the new kid in the block, and you're also
Speaker 3: the pressures on to do a good job. Right. But
Speaker 3: everybody I remember, like Bob and Dave literally never stopped
Speaker 3: cracking each other out. Never just never caught. That was
Speaker 3: one of my initial impressions. Also, Okay, I'm going to
Speaker 3: ask you this, and I hope I'm not overstepping, but
Speaker 3: I think that maybe did John ever date Paula Abdu Yes,
Speaker 3: she was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Paula was around. That's why her posters on DJ's wall.
Speaker 2: Paula was around a bunch during the fourteenth I.
Speaker 3: Always wondered because there was some sort of joke that
Speaker 3: Bob made to John and kind of a nod to
Speaker 3: the poster and I was too new to right, But no,
Speaker 3: I just remember like going, you know, to lunch. You know,
Speaker 3: it's like when you're in the middle school and you're
Speaker 3: going to the lunch, right, everybody was great, Everybody was welcoming,
Speaker 3: good and truly, like Bob felt super safe. I remember
Speaker 3: I was engaged to my husband when I did the show.
Speaker 3: People would ask him like, oh, are you threatened that,
Speaker 3: you know, Debra has to like kiss Bob Sacket, And
Speaker 3: my husband was like, it's America's.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, it's not. Yeah, it's okay, yeah, because he
Speaker 2: just he had a sense of trust with him for sure.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you guys had such great chemistry too, with
Speaker 1: the flirting with the martinizing, like it was just you're
Speaker 1: so perfect for.
Speaker 2: Each other, and actually cast what martinizing means, so that
Speaker 2: we yeah, it's it's just.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm kind of confused, but I think it's just
Speaker 1: another word for dry cleaning, but maybe in like an
Speaker 1: enviolment to leave friendly way.
Speaker 2: Lightly sexier words, right, Yeah, yeah, because argonizing.
Speaker 3: It was impressive, right, impressive? Yeah, yeah, then had you
Speaker 3: worked with.
Speaker 2: Like on sets with a lot of kids before, because
Speaker 2: that was you know, sometimes actors have done a lot
Speaker 2: of more single cam stuff or more like you know,
Speaker 2: adult tell not adult Healvin, but like, you know, not
Speaker 2: casts with a lot of kids. And we were very
Speaker 2: kid heavy. Lots of kids.
Speaker 3: Dogs, yeah, exactly, dogs. Talks. They say, don't ever act
Speaker 3: with kids or talks. Yeah, but well pretty well, I
Speaker 3: would say, Okay, two things helped me. One is I
Speaker 3: had done a whole lot of theater, so I love
Speaker 3: the stage and you know it's a little scarier, but
Speaker 3: it's so alive. Yeah, audience, So I love that. I
Speaker 3: love the fact that there was The schedule was so great,
Speaker 3: like the table reads on Monday and then by Friday
Speaker 3: year sho would be for a live audience. It's just
Speaker 3: a it's a really nice schedule. But also I've always
Speaker 3: loved kids. I had a lot of nieces and nephews.
Speaker 3: I'm one of seven children. Oh wow. In college I
Speaker 3: played Maria in the Sound of Music and had like
Speaker 3: the best time. So kids, I love playing them out
Speaker 3: a blast.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, our and our set was definitely when the
Speaker 1: Olsen Twins were you know, we had the baby wrangler
Speaker 1: Adria later off stage feeding them lines, and so that's
Speaker 1: it can get a little tedious at times, trying to
Speaker 1: like reshoot that again and again and you know, make
Speaker 1: sure Adrian is not in the shot and that the
Speaker 1: eyeline is correct. You know, it's it's it's a it's
Speaker 1: a process.
Speaker 2: It's different than other sets. Haven't worked with kids before.
Speaker 2: You know, a lot of people adults are like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, this is the stakes forever, and you're like, yeah,
Speaker 2: it does, yeah, it does belong.
Speaker 3: But there's also kind of like a beautiful humanity about it.
Speaker 3: You know, Yeah, we've got to slow down, We've got
Speaker 3: to let them do it again. Right, You've got to
Speaker 3: create an environment where they feel particularly safe. Yeah, you
Speaker 3: actually su with my daughter and that was like one
Speaker 3: of my biggest values was create a safe space kids.
Speaker 3: And if you don't feel safe, you can't experiment. And
Speaker 3: that's where created flows from. So make a safe space.
Speaker 2: We talked. We talked about that a lot. How Full
Speaker 2: House was a really unique set in that it was
Speaker 2: an incredibly safe space, and so many you know, shows
Speaker 2: and things weren't that at the time. They had you know,
Speaker 2: terrible showrunners or you know, just people that screamed. And yeah,
Speaker 2: and we just really had a very safe family set
Speaker 2: to to you know, top to bottom, crew to cast.
Speaker 3: Do you credit that to the leadership or to the
Speaker 3: cast or.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all of that, I think all of it.
Speaker 1: I think it starts at the top. Jeff is with
Speaker 1: Jeff Franklin.
Speaker 2: Jeff was very conscientious of like the parents and the
Speaker 2: kids and not you know, and he's pretty like, you know, mellow,
Speaker 2: easy going. He has his moments when he's fighting for something,
Speaker 2: but he's that. He was not a showrunner that's screaming
Speaker 2: and yelling at everybody, and you know, and so him
Speaker 2: and then the adults on the show, you know, Bob
Speaker 2: and Dave and John and Laurie, they're also very family people,
Speaker 2: like family is important to them, kids are important to them,
Speaker 2: and so it was just the nature of who they
Speaker 2: were also, you know, and then our parents were there,
Speaker 2: Like it was just all of it. It was everyone
Speaker 2: you felt looked out for, You felt safe, You felt
Speaker 2: like everyone cared about you.
Speaker 3: So yeah, and you wonder if ahead of time, if
Speaker 3: they really thought through that or did they just get
Speaker 3: really fortunate that, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: I think we just got really fortunate. I always say,
Speaker 2: like Full House sort of just was like this little
Speaker 2: sprinkle of some sort of magic dust that made it
Speaker 2: an environment that was really unlike most sets. Yeah so,
Speaker 2: and it was just a matter of like, you know,
Speaker 2: and the reason we're still all friends thirty eight years later,
Speaker 2: you know, is because we just clicked as a family,
Speaker 2: like something about all of us just fit together really nicely.
Speaker 3: It's got to feel so good because I get this
Speaker 3: a little bit, you know, how about the grocery store.
Speaker 3: Maybe somebody thinks they know me and then we you know,
Speaker 3: we trace a factor full House and so many people
Speaker 3: are so the heartwarming responses that I get, or how
Speaker 3: much the show like almost ministered to them, like touch
Speaker 3: them so deeply, encourage them so deeply. They always could
Speaker 3: trust the message. They could always trust what was going
Speaker 3: to be communicated. It's that's a really a gift to
Speaker 3: be part of.
Speaker 2: Yeah, We've had it's been a real pleasure to hear
Speaker 2: so many guest stars, I mean, everyone pretty much that's
Speaker 2: come on the show has, you know, said it was
Speaker 2: one of the greatest guest starring experiences that I had
Speaker 2: because I just immediately felt welcome because it Ben guest
Speaker 2: star on a show, and I've most of the time
Speaker 2: everyone's super great and lovely, but it is You're like, oh,
Speaker 2: there's that's the family people, and then I'm just kind
Speaker 2: of the interloper, you know. But we really tried to
Speaker 2: make everybody feel welcome and happy and yeah, and Bob
Speaker 2: and Dave cracking each other up constantly was I mean
Speaker 2: that kind of set the tone also for just we
Speaker 2: were just playing and being silly.
Speaker 3: And I'm sure a lot of those jokes were probably
Speaker 3: written into the show.
Speaker 2: Really, probably a lot worked because they were things that
Speaker 2: you couldn't write into a family television show. Yeah, there
Speaker 2: was a lot of that that went right over our
Speaker 2: heads as kids.
Speaker 1: But our moms would sit in the bleachers and the
Speaker 1: audience bleachers during rehearsals, and so every once in a
Speaker 1: while they'd be like, Bob that the kids are on
Speaker 1: you guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, yeah, and they were like, sorry, mom, sorry,
Speaker 2: you know it was but again, they were like so
Speaker 2: sweet about you know. They It wasn't like some actors
Speaker 2: that would have been like, oh shit, you know, who
Speaker 2: are these moms telling me what to do? No, it
Speaker 2: was like oh sorry mom, you know, right, right, right, yeah,
Speaker 2: so but yeah, oh, Bob and Dave were constant, just constant.
Speaker 1: So, Deborah, you did three episodes of Full House, right,
Speaker 1: did you know when you auditioned that you were going
Speaker 1: to be coming back a few times or was it
Speaker 1: Did you think it was just going to be a
Speaker 1: one time appearance.
Speaker 3: I thought it was gonna be a one time appearance.
Speaker 3: You know, it's the actor. You don't always know. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and I don't know if those other episodes had been
Speaker 3: written yet, So I was so so grateful. You know,
Speaker 3: first one was Terror in Tanner Town, and then it
Speaker 3: was New Year's Eve, and then it was a Secret Admirer,
Speaker 3: which is my favorite for it.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, everyone so many people loves that.
Speaker 3: Episode, love that episode.
Speaker 2: We just we recreated it Andrey and I recently, Yeah, we.
Speaker 1: On on the podcast. We were we were all Jody
Speaker 1: and I split up the characters, so we did all
Speaker 1: of the characters, everybody.
Speaker 2: And we but we couldn't play ourselves. We had to
Speaker 2: play each other. So we played each other and like
Speaker 2: four other characters. But it was such a complicated thing
Speaker 2: because because you're reading the voiceovers, which is Resti's words,
Speaker 2: but as the oh, yeah, I was like, this is
Speaker 2: I don't know who I am anymore? But it was
Speaker 2: really it was really fun. But we did that episode.
Speaker 2: We asked our audience, like, which one, you know, would
Speaker 2: you want us to do? What episode should we recreate
Speaker 2: and play all of the characters, And that was the one.
Speaker 2: It was a great episode. I can't wait to watch
Speaker 2: that one.
Speaker 3: Oh, I can't wait for Andrea coming down the stairs
Speaker 3: taking the Jesse's hot for you and you're rocking the lips.
Speaker 3: That's it's iconic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kimmy, Kimmy, there was no shortage of confidence there.
Speaker 1: She was. Of course, Jesse's in love with me, right,
Speaker 1: I believe this?
Speaker 2: Yeah? So yeah, that was such a fun episode.
Speaker 3: Now probably know that they actually wanted Bob and Cindy,
Speaker 3: Danny and Cindy to get married. And it's one of
Speaker 3: my life regrets. Girls, Oh, I need me to become
Speaker 3: a series regular, which I've never I've been a recurring
Speaker 3: character on a number of different shows, but I've never
Speaker 3: been like a series regular. There was another series that
Speaker 3: they were going to create from a guess but I did.
Speaker 3: But anyways, I regret it because it would have been
Speaker 3: so much fun. Yeah, we've had more time.
Speaker 1: But hey, I mean, so, wait, why do you regret it?
Speaker 1: Was it your decision not to come back, or was
Speaker 1: it like a creative decision They just said, oh, we're
Speaker 1: going to break them up. No.
Speaker 3: What was kind of weird is so my agents approached
Speaker 3: me and they said, they want you to be a
Speaker 3: series regular. They want you to get married to Danny.
Speaker 3: Oh my, this is like regular, and like the contract
Speaker 3: was sent and my agents thought that you know, there
Speaker 3: was it was a big cast, right, I mean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we grow exponentially, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: They thought that I would get lost, They thought that
Speaker 3: I feature film career, and I think that they didn't
Speaker 3: realize what a good fit it would have been.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know what I mean, that would have
Speaker 1: been an amazing an amazing marriage. You know that. Oh man,
Speaker 1: you guys had such great chemistry.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's fullhouse always kind of got judged
Speaker 2: and critiqued by you know, the industry and critics and
Speaker 2: what it was. It was a show for the fans,
Speaker 2: for families, and and we sort of lived in that.
Speaker 2: But yeah, a lot of agents would have probably been like, oh,
Speaker 2: that's a you know, sort of geese sitcom. You have
Speaker 2: this to do, you know, but wow, we never knew
Speaker 2: I never knew this.
Speaker 3: This is We didn't know that you were going to
Speaker 3: get fuller house out of it, you know what I mean. No,
Speaker 3: But what's weird is like this happens on shows, like
Speaker 3: you get really invested in a certain character, right, and
Speaker 3: then the actor isn't available or something, so suddenly they're
Speaker 3: just yeah, so where did Cindy go? Yeah? Is there ever?
Speaker 3: Like well, conversation was there's just a new girl.
Speaker 2: Maybe she had maybe she had to leave San Francisco.
Speaker 2: Maybe Rusty was really getting involved in some in some
Speaker 2: unfortunate business in San Francisco, and she was like, we
Speaker 2: need to move out of here. Yeah, and she she
Speaker 2: sold the dry cleaning business, opened another dry cleaning business,
Speaker 2: uh somewhere just kind of outside Palo Alto, right before
Speaker 2: it was expensive though, and yeah, and she has been
Speaker 2: living there and uh and Rusty uh became a total
Speaker 2: tech nerd.
Speaker 1: So yeah, there were and you know who she married,
Speaker 1: Henry Martin.
Speaker 2: Henry Martin, Yeah, yeah, she married. Yeah, randomly popped into
Speaker 2: her store and she was like, oh martinizing and he
Speaker 2: was like, oh my god, no one knows me. And
Speaker 2: it was love at first sight and that's what happened. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's great love, lovely story.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 1: This is what we do, like, this is how we
Speaker 1: amuse ourselves.
Speaker 3: No more tonight, that's it.
Speaker 1: It been so fun, though, to have you as a
Speaker 1: series regular and to be with us all the time,
Speaker 1: that would have been a great fit.
Speaker 3: But it would have been fun. I actually didn't need that.
Speaker 3: With Candace Cameron maybe ten years ago. It was a
Speaker 3: women's event and she spoke and I sang, and I'd
Speaker 3: written a song and I got like some dancer girls
Speaker 3: to dance behind me. Anyways, I mean a great kind
Speaker 3: of you know, reconnection. Yeah, it would have been fun.
Speaker 3: It would have been fun. Girls.
Speaker 2: Wow, I always thought that, oh gosh, Vicky was the
Speaker 2: only a potential uh marriage for Danny. Yeah, this would
Speaker 2: have changed.
Speaker 1: This would have changed the whole trajectory a step brother. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that would be Can you imagine Rusty moving into the
Speaker 1: whole house?
Speaker 2: Like that would be drama, right, I mean, particularly after
Speaker 2: the scene where Steph, wait, what.
Speaker 3: Did you is that weird?
Speaker 2: He did?
Speaker 3: Yes, he tried to kiss you in New Year's Well, yeah.
Speaker 2: That's that's he That's what I was saying I was
Speaker 2: literally like, and it gets weirder because Steph whites the
Speaker 2: onion and then kisses him on New Year's so like
Speaker 2: that's sort of weird. Like you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: If he moves in as the step brother. Oh okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, things get a little weird. Can't share room
Speaker 2: with anybody. You can build an addition onto the house.
Speaker 3: You go, can we do that? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, this room at the backyard, this house is possible
Speaker 2: only through uh the non observation of physics because shape shifts.
Speaker 2: Like our first question was why did Cindy there's a
Speaker 2: doorbell on the back door, Why does she come to
Speaker 2: the back.
Speaker 1: You're you enter from the back door. That's your first entrance.
Speaker 3: And it's like, yeah, wouldn't I say, like, are we
Speaker 3: already that familiar? Have I been there before?
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I'm you're delivering it's been two weeks.
Speaker 2: But your first appearance on the show his dry cleaning, right,
Speaker 2: but you had but you met two weeks ago, a
Speaker 2: whole two weeks, that's what he says in the show.
Speaker 3: Maybe I had been delivering his dry cleaning for a while.
Speaker 2: Well, it used to be Julio. See it used to
Speaker 2: be Julio and then you took them literally, that's in
Speaker 2: the script. I'm not just making some random stuff up
Speaker 2: the time, but you never know. But no, that was
Speaker 2: that was what happened. But that was my My shock
Speaker 2: was that Danny goes, Yeah, well two weeks ago, and
Speaker 2: I was like two weeks You guys are very cose,
Speaker 2: like yeah, okay in.
Speaker 3: The kitchen, yeah, very cood.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was things were moving fast. I mean I
Speaker 2: see now they were going to get married. You know,
Speaker 2: you just felt right ye yeah, yep.
Speaker 1: You guys were so good together. Did you ever see
Speaker 1: Bob after you finished doing the Full House episodes? Did
Speaker 1: you see him again years later? No?
Speaker 3: No, I could love to, but I never did.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, he's absolutely.
Speaker 3: Broke on all that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we talk about him a lot. We keep his
Speaker 1: spirit alive, cracking inappropriate jokes. Jody loves to constantly make
Speaker 1: an inappropriate comment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's one to be made, I'll make it. So
Speaker 2: that was kind of like Bob.
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally totally. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Oh all of America, but in a special way to
Speaker 3: you girls. Pretty sweet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we got you know, getting to come back
Speaker 2: and do Fuller and like really experience sort of all
Speaker 2: of this over the past thirty plus years has been
Speaker 2: pretty awesome. And even you know, it's always crazy to
Speaker 2: me because the fans are so incredibly invested in the show,
Speaker 2: Like they recognize people who were in four episodes or five,
Speaker 2: you know, like they're just so like, oh, this was everything.
Speaker 1: And I.
Speaker 2: Love that about our fans. It's really.
Speaker 3: Too No. I have a couple of girls that follow
Speaker 3: me because they're so passionate about the show. Oh, that's
Speaker 3: our connection. And when they found out I was meeting
Speaker 3: with you girls, they were like, oh, that's so nice.
Speaker 1: Ah. When do you get recognized for the most when

Speaker 1: another project that you loved?
Speaker 3: It's so funny. It kind of depends on where I am. Oh, okay,
Speaker 3: like if I'm if I'm in a place where there's
Speaker 3: a lot of like females, young females like maybe in
Speaker 3: their thirties. Full House, full House Now Atlanta Airport. I
Speaker 3: was a recurring character on a Tyler Perry series, okay,
Speaker 3: and you would have thought, like the storyline was so important,
Speaker 3: Like they thought that I played the obstetrician, the baby doctor, right,
Speaker 3: they thought that the DNA. So it was like a
Speaker 3: cool storyline and everybody was, like you said, very invested,
Speaker 3: very invested.
Speaker 1: Audience.
Speaker 3: People would be coming up to me asking you, asking
Speaker 3: me like, did you switch the DNA. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 3: time will tell.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: So there was a lot of that. And then I
Speaker 3: did a film with Tyler Perry. Excuse me, I did
Speaker 3: a film with Terry Bradshaw. The film Just It did well.
Speaker 3: It's super fun. I played Terry Bradshaw's wife and they
Speaker 3: played a lot on airlines and so people recognize me
Speaker 3: for that too.

Speaker 1: So cool. Oh that's great.
Speaker 2: And you're still acting to this day. Yeah, you're still
Speaker 2: I mean, you love I just loved it.
Speaker 3: I love it. Atlanta has been a really great place
Speaker 3: to be. When we first moved here as kind of like, oh,
Speaker 3: I guess I'm done with that, like number acting. And
Speaker 3: then there was like industrial projects that I started get
Speaker 3: involved in, and then things started coming to Atlanta. So
Speaker 3: I did like an Army Wives episode and it's just
Speaker 3: kind of built from there.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So you know, if you have a good representation, you
Speaker 3: can live almost anywhere in these days, for sure. So
Speaker 3: I've got a beautiful film coming out in March and
Speaker 3: in March coming up. It's called Bob Trevino likes it,
Speaker 3: and it's with Barbara Ferreira and John leg Gazamo and
Speaker 3: Stewart and it is kind of it has an indie
Speaker 3: feel to it. It has won all these film festival
Speaker 3: awards at one big time at south By Southwest. Anyways,
Speaker 3: got a beautiful scene in it, and it's a beautiful film.
Speaker 3: You're going to love.
Speaker 2: Oh, I can't wait. I love John Zamo.
Speaker 3: It's really cool about it is that the woman that
Speaker 3: wrote it and directed it, it is her personal story.
Speaker 3: Oh and how it's really a beautiful picture of how
Speaker 3: when we love people well we can help heal their hearts.
Speaker 3: Kind Of cheesy, but it.
Speaker 2: Is it's true.
Speaker 3: Well, John Legazamo plays a different kind of character than
Speaker 3: he usually plays.
Speaker 2: Uh, he's Barbarie, such a such an amazing actor, and
Speaker 2: he's an incredible theater actor like he that's where he
Speaker 2: does a lot of work and just brilliant, just really
Speaker 2: really brilliant.
Speaker 3: Have you seen him on stage?
Speaker 2: I have not seen him live on stage, but I
Speaker 2: have seen like bits and pieces of stuff that he's
Speaker 2: been in and I just am always like, wow, yeah,
Speaker 2: you're kind of a kind of an underrated I mean
Speaker 2: not underrated, but like you know, he did some move
Speaker 2: like super Mario Brothers and things like that that I
Speaker 2: think people didn't take him really seriously for. But he's yeah,
Speaker 2: he's great. Although, well, we'll definitely be looking out for that.
Speaker 1: Where how do we watch it? Is it coming out
Speaker 1: on a streaming service? Or how do we watch it? Oh?
Speaker 3: Great, Yeah, it will be in the movie theaters initially,
Speaker 3: and then in like a week it'll have wide release.
Speaker 3: Right okay, oh yeah, really really cool storyline. And then
Speaker 3: the other thing I do is I speak to women's groups,
Speaker 3: and so I had to speak to a group of
Speaker 3: women and I realized that there was probably a kind
Speaker 3: of a book that was coming out of my talk.
Speaker 3: So I wrote my first book.
Speaker 2: Oh it's called Oh I love it and.
Speaker 3: So Space to Cultivate your most flourishing and powerful self.
Speaker 3: I'm really about seeing women thrive at any age, at
Speaker 3: any age, I think, so I age, I'm sixty two,
Speaker 3: and I think sometimes women kind of give up, like
Speaker 3: they think, I don't know they Are you still dreaming?
Speaker 3: Are you still like cultivating what is your biggest gift?
Speaker 3: Are you still like feeling like you're moving forward? And
Speaker 3: I kind of want to make sure that women feel
Speaker 3: still inspired. My mom, you know, passed away when she
Speaker 3: was ninety one, and even on her deathbed, she was
Speaker 3: like encouraging us and breathing life into us at her
Speaker 3: last breath. So just kind of one of my messages.
Speaker 1: Oh I love women need that. We need that.
Speaker 2: It's oh, we really do.
Speaker 1: We devote so much of our lives to caring for others,
Speaker 1: you know, our children, our spouses, our friends, and then
Speaker 1: you reach a certain age and you kind of feel invisible.
Speaker 2: You know, you're kind of like, yeah, society sort of invisible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we need these pep talks from you.
