Speaker 5: But that's I like that. I like doing that with you.
Speaker 5: I love that, can I can I You mentioned the

Speaker 4: and looking at the Christmas tree, all within a twenty.
Speaker 2: Four hour period. And I was like, that's really cool that.
Speaker 2: I con say I died that, But I remember those statues.
Speaker 1: Because you needed a shirt, Like we were going to
Speaker 1: go on the Today Show or something the next day,
Speaker 1: and you're like, I don't have a shirt, right.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 4: We're like, oh god, I didn't come to and we're
Speaker 4: like you do know you're on a press tour, right,
Speaker 4: So I.
Speaker 3: Went shopping for a shirt with you.
Speaker 5: We went shopping for a shirt, and we went we
Speaker 5: got something to eat, and we stood by some weird statues.
Speaker 1: Yes, the statues with the very large statues with the
Speaker 1: very small right, there was no more, no more approach.
Speaker 4: I mean, it could just be proportioned, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean. It's it could be average. But there's just
Speaker 4: the statue.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: I got to dig out the picture. I got to
Speaker 3: dig out the picture later.
Speaker 4: And so when you when should we start the interviews?
Speaker 3: The time we have for today books.
Speaker 2: That's all we've done.
Speaker 5: I have a question, Andrea, is that the full House
Speaker 5: House cookie jar behind you?
Speaker 3: It is?
Speaker 4: Yes, it is not the o G one, right, it's
Speaker 4: the it's the it's from the Fuller replica, right, well.
Speaker 2: The one that we got.
Speaker 4: It's not the one that we got one season from
Speaker 4: Jeff as a gift.
Speaker 3: No, no, this is from the set.
Speaker 5: Because we just moved into our new house here and
Speaker 5: we were unboxing things and I found the original cookie
Speaker 5: jar one. Oh that's all you know, painted like the house.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so yeah, I don't have I don't know
Speaker 2: where that one went.
Speaker 3: I don't know where that one went either.
Speaker 4: I'm sure it's in my mom it's somewhere at my
Speaker 4: mom's house. It'll it'll be found in a cupboard.
Speaker 5: At some point, we unboxed a ton of stuff that
Speaker 5: I didn't know I had, like what house, full House,
Speaker 5: stuff from when you guys were really little, like you know,
Speaker 5: just my mom kept everything. And so she.
Speaker 4: Says the theme all of our moms have kept everything.
Speaker 4: We've been going through all of the things that our
Speaker 4: moms have kept and like, Mom, yeah, my mom's keep everything.
Speaker 5: I know. I know. And my dad, my dad was
Speaker 5: never interested in in my career. He would just he
Speaker 5: would just ask for autographs for all the people that
Speaker 5: he knew at the local diner that he.
Speaker 4: Right, Yes, my dad does the same. My dad Will
Speaker 4: Will would introduce me to people and he'd be like,
Speaker 4: this is my famous time. I'm like, oh my, but
Speaker 4: it was like both horrifying and proud.
Speaker 5: Yeah, my dad. My dad would do that. He would
Speaker 5: He had a bunch of copies of a promo photo
Speaker 5: from like season one of Full House, and he just
Speaker 5: kept using it like thirty years later, and he'd always go, hey,
Speaker 5: Dave signed this to Kathy and sign it Dave Coolier,
Speaker 5: would you.
Speaker 3: As opposed to your other names?
Speaker 5: That's what I would always say to him, like what
Speaker 5: am I gonna tell?
Speaker 4: Do you think I signed this normally? What do you
Speaker 4: think I put on here?
Speaker 5: Because that because that was that was my dad. Yeah,
Speaker 5: but he was he was never really asked me about
Speaker 5: any shows or anything. Uh but my brothers told me
Speaker 5: years later he said Dad watches Full House and Syndication
Speaker 5: every day and laughs. But he never told me that.
Speaker 5: And so I never thought my dad was, you know,
Speaker 5: really like cared about my career have it. So my
Speaker 5: dad passed away like a year and a half two
Speaker 5: years ago, and Melissa and I were cleaning out his
Speaker 5: house and we found a secret drawer where he kept everything,
Speaker 5: so he was paying attention, and I cried. It was
Speaker 5: such an emotional thing.
Speaker 2: Are you going to cry? Like that's such a.
Speaker 5: He kept everything.
Speaker 2: That's such a bad thing to do too. It's like
Speaker 2: not to say it, but.
Speaker 5: Like my dad never wanted to play favorites with the
Speaker 5: four kids.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So you know if my brother, you know, got an
Speaker 5: A in class, my dad would you know it was
Speaker 5: you know, everybody got the same treatment. Or if I
Speaker 5: you know, would come home after you know, shooting a
Speaker 5: season or something, you know, my dad would go, hey, Dave,
Speaker 5: I want you to help Dan with the garbage, garbage, making.
Speaker 4: Sure everybody was He wanted an even yeah playing field.
Speaker 5: You know. He would he would talk up what my
Speaker 5: sisters would do and what my brother would do. And
Speaker 5: in all those years, I thought, at my dad could
Speaker 5: care less. And then we found that stuff and it
Speaker 5: was really emotional.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, our parents like kept so much of that stuff,
Speaker 4: and we're such a part of you know, a part
Speaker 4: of the show and the extended family.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 5: Now I was talking to Karen Miller. Her and I
Speaker 5: are developing animated series together.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, I didn't know that for our HRT audience.
Speaker 4: Karen Miller was one of the original producers on Full

Speaker 2: little kid too. Olivia, Yeah, Olivia, Yeah, it's a fun
Speaker 2: extended family.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Christopher Olivia. But she mentioned to me, she goes, Dave,
Speaker 5: I have the Full House Cookbook. Do you want it?
Speaker 5: I said, I didn't know there was a Full House Cookbook.
Speaker 2: She goes, yes, I've got got a What was that?
Speaker 4: We actually did a we actually did a minisode on it,
Speaker 4: on the Full House Cookbook.
Speaker 1: There you have a recipe in there, the woodchuck fizzy yep,
Speaker 1: which is like there were I think.
Speaker 4: It was like woodchuck fizzy and there was also like
Speaker 4: how to make ice or something, or like how to
Speaker 4: boil water or something. We're like, your two contributions were
Speaker 4: just like something just stupid but great.
Speaker 5: So was that something that was happening behind the scenes,
Speaker 5: like and like you guys were doing that while you
Speaker 5: were in.
Speaker 4: School and you were Yeah, A, I believe Adria and
Speaker 4: the studio teachers kind of spearheaded it. And we were
Speaker 4: going around collecting recipes from everybody. And I seem to remember,
Speaker 4: maybe I'm making this up, highly possible, but I seem
Speaker 4: to remember that we were selling them and maybe donated
Speaker 4: the money or something, or did we just make them
Speaker 4: for everybody. I thought we were like selling them and
Speaker 4: donating the money. Is I seem to remember that it
Speaker 4: was some sort of like project that we kind of
Speaker 4: came up with, and I don't and I don't remember
Speaker 4: for what or for why, but yeah, Adria had kind
Speaker 4: of spearheaded it, and yeah, it was it was a
Speaker 4: thing that we all, I mean we my mom.
Speaker 2: Uses we used that the Full House Cookbook all the time.
Speaker 4: Rob and Donnie's chicken wings, Andrea's chicken and rice recipe,
Speaker 4: my family's sweetened recipe, the chocolate gravy and biscuits is
Speaker 4: in there, chili recipe, my mom. Yeah, like we all,
Speaker 4: it's We've been using it for thirty years. I've highly recommended.
Speaker 4: There's some great recipes in There'm just saying.
Speaker 5: She told me, she said, now that the original has
Speaker 5: a red cover, She goes, but I photo copied this, uh,
Speaker 5: And I said, I said, can you send me a copy?
Speaker 5: So she's gonna send me a copy?
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, yes, yes.
Speaker 5: Because I was so curious about it. I said, I've
Speaker 5: never seen the Full House Cookbook. And now you guys
Speaker 5: just reminded me that I have a recipe in there
Speaker 5: called a woodchuck.
Speaker 2: Fizzy Woodchuck Fizzy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm pretty sure it involves putting a woodchuck in
Speaker 4: some and carbonated water.
Speaker 3: That's exactly it. Shake up the woodchuck there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's so full Speaking of the woodchuck, the og,
Speaker 4: mister woodchuck, I know you've talked about it before, but
Speaker 4: many people may not know.
Speaker 2: He met an unfortunate demise with Ranger. You want to
Speaker 2: see him, Yeah, the original the husk of a woodchuck.
Speaker 5: I'll get him. It's it's horrifying to look.
Speaker 4: No, I mean, look, it's sometimes originals are horrifying to
Speaker 4: look at it.
Speaker 2: We haven't found that to be the case with Full
Speaker 2: House so far. Maybe occasional joke here in there. But
Speaker 2: oh my god. And he's got a Santa Hate Santa hat,
Speaker 2: well without a Santa hat, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Oh my god. It's it's worse than
Speaker 2: I remember. Oh no, there it is, Okay. I was
Speaker 2: like I thought he had eyes.
Speaker 4: He's just missing the entire For those of you that
Speaker 4: are just listening to this podcast, I will describe what
Speaker 4: is basically the entire everything below the eyes of the woodchuck.
Speaker 4: So everything that makes a woodchuck chuck has been ripped
Speaker 4: off of his job. But he is wearing a lovely
Speaker 4: little miniature tuxedo and a Santa hat.
Speaker 2: But you can see Dave's hand.
Speaker 4: In the back of his throat, which is sort of
Speaker 4: jarring but doesn't make for it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like the hat.
Speaker 2: He's got four of them. Wow, I didn't know what
Speaker 2: Chuck said that.
Speaker 5: Can I tell your your listeners, the and viewers the
Speaker 5: story behind this house? Do?
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 5: I had a dog, a yellow lap named Ranger, and
Speaker 5: I brought the Woodchuck home. Uh. I forget why. It
Speaker 5: was probably after the show was canceled, and I brought
Speaker 5: him home and I sat him at the end of
Speaker 5: a hallway on top of a desk. And Ranger hated
Speaker 5: this thing really, maybe because it would sit at the
Speaker 5: end of the hallway and he would just growl at
Speaker 5: it every day, and I would go, it's a nice Maybe.
Speaker 2: Maybe the puppet was coming to life at night, Dave.
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe maybe he liked that.
Speaker 2: I've seen that.
Speaker 5: Maybe Magic.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was The Puppet Masters, a whole eighties horror film.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying.
Speaker 5: And Magic. There's a movie Man Magic where the puppet
Speaker 5: looks like Dennis Miller. That's Bob's joke actually so so. Anyhow,
Speaker 5: so I come home one day and Ranger would just
Speaker 5: lay at the end of the hallway and growl at
Speaker 5: the puppet. So I come home one day and I
Speaker 5: see foam everywhere.
Speaker 2: Nothing like that when you walk into the house with
Speaker 2: a dog.
Speaker 5: I look over and Ranger's got a bunch of this
Speaker 5: foam like in his mouth. He's chewing on it. And
Speaker 5: I see mister Woodchuck laying like that on the floor
Speaker 5: or mine reaction was, I just cracked up. I thought
Speaker 5: that is the funniest thing. I wish I had this
Speaker 5: on video, him sneaking up on it, grabbing it right
Speaker 5: and racing to the living room.
Speaker 4: And then tearing the crap out of his face, just
Speaker 4: murdering the woodchuck, getting his revenge.
Speaker 3: It's a woodchuck massacre.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was given a new so this Woodchuck. Let
Speaker 5: me tell you something about this wood Chuck. It's a
Speaker 5: very expensive puppet. This puppet was like twenty five thousand bucks.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 5: Yeah. So when we came up the idea, when we
Speaker 5: came up with the idea for Ranger Joe to have
Speaker 5: a puppet.
Speaker 4: The irony of Ranger Joe by the way, and Ranger Joe,
Speaker 4: Ranger Joe, and the puppet meeting his end by rangers.
Speaker 5: True. So I went to a guy named Randy Simper,
Speaker 5: who was a creature worked with Jim Henson's.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, I've heard his name in regards
Speaker 4: to the Henson cum I'm a big Muppet fan.
Speaker 5: Randy Simper was a famous puppet maker. He created Elf,
Speaker 5: which was a big puppet on a series.
Speaker 2: Called I Loved Alf Melnack.
Speaker 5: He ate the So I met with Randy Simper. I
Speaker 5: have the drawings for this, the original drawing somewhere. We
Speaker 5: designed it together. I brought the drawings back to Jeff
Speaker 5: and Don Vanatta and they said, okay, good, let's make it.
Speaker 5: So we made the puppet and Randy said, you know,
Speaker 5: I'm going to put this muppet fleece. This stuff right
Speaker 5: here is called muppet fleece. And we had to pay
Speaker 5: a royalty to Jim Henson's company because on camera this
Speaker 5: particular material looks like fur.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh, that was all discovered by Jim Henson. So
Speaker 5: this little guy was like twenty five thousand dollars. Wow,
Speaker 5: build it from the ground up, design it, build it
Speaker 5: and make it a working puppet that could be eaten
Speaker 5: by a yellow lab.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's the story Ranger Joe.
Speaker 4: Indeed, Ranger Joe, we know the origin story and the
Speaker 4: ending story of We basically know his entire life cycle,
Speaker 4: the life cycle of a woodchuck.
Speaker 5: And he lives here looking like a really bad person
Speaker 5: who stepped on a landmine.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 4: Was Ranger the dog first or Ranger Joe first? And
Speaker 4: did either did they have anything to do with each other?
Speaker 5: I had Ranger Joe was first. And then I know
Speaker 5: my son Luke wanted to name the dog. I said,
Speaker 5: you can name our dog when Ranger was a puppy,
Speaker 5: you know, And he goes, can we name it a
Speaker 5: hockey name? And I said, I said sure, And he said,
Speaker 5: how how about if we name him the New York Rangers.
Speaker 5: He said, I said, we could name him Ranger and
Speaker 5: he goes, oh, that would be fun.
Speaker 1: Dad.
Speaker 5: So named Luke named our dog Race.
Speaker 2: And now Luke is flying flying right.

Speaker 5: and yes, it.
Speaker 4: Was always Yeah, it's so funny, Like I mean, I
Speaker 4: I really I think back to when we were shooting
Speaker 4: Fuller House and my kids were the youngest of of
Speaker 4: you and me and uh and Candae, well, Felicity and
Speaker 4: Zoe were close in age, but like all of our
Speaker 4: kids just coming to set and like that whole like
Speaker 4: remembering you guys doing it with your kids and that
Speaker 4: It's just always been like the bring your fam to work,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, And like, just what a
Speaker 4: great environment that always was.
Speaker 2: And we had Kelly Rizzo.
Speaker 4: On the show the other day and Aubrey was in
Speaker 4: the background, you know, and it's like, just how much
Speaker 4: these families and these extended families of all of ours
Speaker 4: are so interconnected, Like what a it just it never
Speaker 4: fails to.
Speaker 2: Warm my heart, my cold, black, dead little heart.
Speaker 5: You mentioned the moms. Your moms were pretty amazing. And
Speaker 5: I've always said that your moms were really unique in
Speaker 5: that they weren't those overbearing showbiz moms. No, they let
Speaker 5: you guys have fun. They let you guys really enjoy
Speaker 5: the full experience, which meant, you know, you know me
Speaker 5: and Bob and you know all our Shenanigans and your moms,
Speaker 5: I will say this, you know they were constantly guarding
Speaker 5: you guys, but they had your your your well being
Speaker 5: was at the forefront. Oh yes, everything that happened really
Speaker 5: you know, uh busy professional showbiz environment. Yeah, they were
Speaker 5: really gracious. Uh just spectacular. Because you hear so many
Speaker 5: stories about showbiz moms and showbiz parents.
Speaker 4: We've met them, they've come, they've come through the cycle
Speaker 4: of full and fuller house, and we've seen them and gone.
Speaker 5: Wow, not not your moms though, that are no.
Speaker 2: Really they were like a normal, like normal normal.
Speaker 5: It normalized what could have been a really weird, strange environment.
Speaker 5: It was. It really was unique in that it made
Speaker 5: it even more family than it already was. The moms
Speaker 5: were the moms were always there and you know, Barbara
Speaker 5: would bring cookies. You know, Sherry Andrew, your mom was
Speaker 5: always doing the birthday walloids know, Jody, your mom was
Speaker 5: so kind and was just you know, always that your
Speaker 5: moms were always there. So it was just like me
Speaker 5: and Bob had to be very calculated with with our Shenanigans.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you guys were the but you were the
Speaker 4: uncles that you know that like grow up the kids
Speaker 4: grow up around and get their you know, sense of humor,
Speaker 4: the mom going, don't say that, I'm like, but it's funny.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: I can picture them in the in the bleachers just
Speaker 1: watching rehearsals, and every once in a while they'd be
Speaker 1: like Dave.
Speaker 4: And two of them would just look and go, all
Speaker 4: Janics is up there.
Speaker 5: Well, and then I remember going, do you guys remember
Speaker 5: me going and sitting up in the stands character.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, watching the show while we're rehearsing, and Dave
Speaker 4: would be creating some fan character up in the stands
Speaker 4: and we're down there doing a scene, and Dave's up
Speaker 4: in the audience, like just being a random character, and
Speaker 4: we're all like anyway, like just going on is totally normal.
Speaker 2: This is just what we do.
Speaker 1: Impossible to concentrate on the scene when Dave's up there.
Speaker 5: I would do that. I would do the fake laughter guy, yes,
Speaker 5: or would.
Speaker 4: Do the fake laugh guy for everybody, or I.
Speaker 5: Would do uh, you know, I would sit there and
Speaker 5: comment on the scene. I go, Jesse's in trouble. I
Speaker 5: would just I would just yeah. But I would have
Speaker 5: all these yeah, we'd have all these stupid characters. And
Speaker 5: it was just to make you guys laugh. But I
Speaker 5: want to and hook it back. Your moms would laugh
Speaker 5: so hard at that bit, sitting up in the stands
Speaker 5: with me. They thought that was the funniest thing. And
Speaker 5: I just remember, I remember, Janice.
Speaker 4: My mom thought always that you were the most hilarious one.
Speaker 4: She's like, Dave is the funniest. Dave is sorry, Bob,
Speaker 4: he's sitting here at Sterio being with this painting.
Speaker 2: But my mom thought Dave was funnier Uh.
Speaker 4: But she always, like she really would always like Dave
Speaker 4: is just you know, and Bob just goes right for
Speaker 4: the toilet, but Dave just.
Speaker 5: Dave's flying around the toy. But yeah, but I just
Speaker 5: want to bring it back to your moms were just extraordinary.
Speaker 5: They were they were so wonderful.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 5: And it could have been it could have been really weird.
Speaker 5: If they were really weird moms, it would.
Speaker 4: Have yeah, strange, it could have and and you know,
Speaker 4: I will say again, like you guys, as the adults
Speaker 4: on the Sho Show, were always so inclusive of us
Speaker 4: as young people, which is not common on sets like it. Really,
Speaker 4: you know, there's often such a division between like the
Speaker 4: adults and the kids and there's really no interaction and
Speaker 4: the world's kind.
Speaker 2: Of don't cross over.
Speaker 4: But our show was never designed like that, and just
Speaker 4: the people that we were as human beings weren't like that.
Speaker 2: We were all very we.
Speaker 4: All came from very family oriented people. We came from
Speaker 4: warm family environments with hugs and things. So it was
Speaker 4: like we just kind of all naturally became that together,
Speaker 4: and it included our our parents and your parents, you know,
Speaker 4: like you guys talked to our moms. You didn't act like, oh,
Speaker 4: we're the actors and those are just the parents of
Speaker 4: the child stars and that's that can kind of be
Speaker 4: how it is and I and I it wasn't like
Speaker 4: that on Fuller either, like because you guys really truly
Speaker 4: set that example for us that like it's all you know,
Speaker 4: we're all in this and you know, you guys did
Speaker 4: a great job but really setting that tone and we did.
Speaker 1: We didn't appreciate it at the time because we were
Speaker 1: so young and it was just normal that we didn't
Speaker 1: know any different. But now as forty year olds, we've
Speaker 1: seen a little bit more of the world out there
Speaker 1: and we're like, oh, this is very unique.
Speaker 4: Yeah, caring like how other people grew up on shows
Speaker 4: and how their experience was and how I'm always like
Speaker 4: that was wow, that sounds terrible.
Speaker 2: That was not our Like we actually had it really great.
Speaker 5: I was so proud of you guys through Fuller House,
Speaker 5: you know, to see you know, these acting chops that
Speaker 5: you guys brought to the show and you know, and
Speaker 5: for me it was funny because it was kind of
Speaker 5: like your characters in a way mirrored. Are the three
Speaker 5: guy characters for sure? Andrea. Andrea was Me, Jody was John,
Speaker 5: and Candace was Bob, you know, and it's just like
Speaker 5: you can't don't really even write that. It just kind
Speaker 5: of it just kind of happened, you know. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: and it was really cool, you know. And I talk
Speaker 5: about this all the time how proud I was, especially
Speaker 5: when I got to direct you guys that you know,
Speaker 5: during those episodes. It was just lovely. It was just like,
Speaker 5: you know, like I didn't have to tell you guys,
Speaker 5: like here's something funny you can do. You guys just
Speaker 5: had that and what a you know, what a wonderful
Speaker 5: thing to see, you know, because that doesn't happen either,
Speaker 5: you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really doesn't.
Speaker 4: The more I think we've been in this business, particularly
Speaker 4: as adults, and you work on other sets, and you
Speaker 4: work with other people, and you realize all of the
Speaker 4: things that we grew up sort of just assuming we're
Speaker 4: normal on set, which is kind people and people that
Speaker 4: looked out for each other and know, you know, not egotistical,
Speaker 4: and a fun environment and people that are funny and
Speaker 4: smart and like just show up for each other. And
Speaker 4: you know, now as you get old, you like go
Speaker 4: to different sets in different places and you go, wow,
Speaker 4: it's not always that's not always the case, and like right,
Speaker 4: and it's just but it's incredible, like wow, we you
Speaker 4: know have done that and kept that going for years
Speaker 4: because it's just kind of who we all naturally were together,
Speaker 4: and like what a cool experience that, you know, I have.
Speaker 4: The more I work in this business, the more we
Speaker 4: all realize is not the norm.
Speaker 5: You know, I would I just did the Today Show
Speaker 5: last Friday, and you know those people there, Al Roker,
Speaker 5: the people at the Today Show, you know, who've been
Speaker 5: there forever, they just love us.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's true, like shows just like they're so excited
Speaker 4: that the full house cast to come on.
Speaker 2: It's wild.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I'm like, you guys are the Today Show.
Speaker 5: I'm Joe Schmoe, you know, like you know, but they
Speaker 5: were so excited. And when you have people pull you
Speaker 5: aside and go there hasn't been this kind of excitement
Speaker 5: here in a long time. I'm like, don't you have
Speaker 5: like big guests. I'm like, you know, I'm Dave, you know,
Speaker 5: but that was really nice to It was really nice
Speaker 5: to feel that and to see that and to be revered,
Speaker 5: you know, and I never I guess I never accepted that,
Speaker 5: you know, so at this point in my life, I'm
Speaker 5: kind of like letting that all in. It's like, no,
Speaker 5: that that's a really good thing. It's nice to be revered.
Speaker 5: And and to the and Al Roker said, do you
Speaker 5: think there's gonna be a fullest house? And you know,
Speaker 5: my answer was, I would do it in a heartbeat,
Speaker 5: you know, if we could, you know, you know, and
Speaker 5: I said, And the show I keep coming up with
Speaker 5: is we sit around. We're all just heavier and older,
Speaker 5: and we sit around and drink coffee like the friend's guest,
Speaker 5: and we keep Bob alive, you know.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, exactly. I think it's golden girls.
Speaker 4: We all need uh some caftans, a lunai, some cheesecake.
Speaker 4: Bob can be in an urn like he's always said
Speaker 4: that he wanted, and we'll.
Speaker 2: Be like that. That's it. He was just joke exactly.
Speaker 4: I'm I am simply honoring him. But I did it
Speaker 4: the other day when we were at a we were
Speaker 4: at a show. There was a large floral centerpiece and
Speaker 4: I picked it up and I said, I'm so glad
Speaker 4: Bob oskar tonight. And Andrew's like, you're I said, he
Speaker 4: would have made the joke.
Speaker 2: He would have made the joke.
Speaker 5: Oh, he'd be so proud of us making the you know,
Speaker 5: because he loved gallows humor. When his sister Gay died,
Speaker 5: I went to the funeral, so I show up for
Speaker 5: the service. Bob has been waiting for me. Right. He
Speaker 5: runs out to the park a lot, grabs my arm
Speaker 5: and he goes, hey, do you want to see a
Speaker 5: dead body? Because I know where there's a dead body.
Speaker 5: Come on.
Speaker 4: So dark, But he was so dark, But you think
Speaker 4: about it, the only way that he processed it.
Speaker 2: It's the only way that he processed it.
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, between Bob and I, you know, I lost
Speaker 5: my sister Sharon, He lost his sister Andy and his
Speaker 5: sister Gay, and it was just you know, that's how
Speaker 5: you know. The first thing he said to me is, hey,
Speaker 5: we need to start a dead Sisters club. And you know,
Speaker 5: but I would laugh. It would make me laugh and
Speaker 5: it would take away the darkness, and it would take away,
Speaker 5: you know, the ownus of oh my gosh, we really
Speaker 5: did just lose our sisters, you know, but that was
Speaker 5: his coping mechanism, and it would it just it lightened
Speaker 5: a very dark mood, you know.
Speaker 4: And he would I always say, like, I love I
Speaker 4: learned that's. I mean, I've been through some real dark
Speaker 4: stuff in my life, and man has it made for
Speaker 4: some great jokes, you know, like it. And I learned
Speaker 4: that from him, Like I I you know, I think
Speaker 4: my mom definitely took things a little more seriously. My
Speaker 4: genus is, you know, a little more reverential of certain things.
Speaker 4: And I am irreverent. And so I would watch Bob
Speaker 4: make these jokes, you know, make these jokes about things,
Speaker 4: and I was like, oh, you can, you can be
Speaker 4: that part, Like you can make those jokes, you know,
Speaker 4: And much to my mom's disappointment, I do.
Speaker 2: And you know, so anyway, were you with us?
Speaker 1: I remember going up to Forest Lawn on a lunch
Speaker 1: break from Full House one day and we went Bob
Speaker 1: took us to Gay's gravesite and just for a quiet
Speaker 1: moment and yeah, like it was very somber and we
Speaker 1: were just.
Speaker 2: I think it was after it was like before a tape.
Speaker 3: It was before night.
Speaker 2: It was like dinner and yeah, and.
Speaker 1: So he's like, let's just stop by the cemetery and
Speaker 1: visit Gay and we're like okay. So We're like, we're
Speaker 1: standing around the gravesite, we're looking at her name Gay Saga,
Speaker 1: and Bob just pops up and says, well, yeah, homosexual
Speaker 1: wouldn't fit on the birth certificate, so.
Speaker 3: We had to name her gay Sagate instead of I
Speaker 3: know that that's just what he did.
Speaker 1: Like he interrupts a somber moment with an inappropriate joke.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, he uh. He loved to tell the story
Speaker 5: about when his mom, Dolly, was in her final week. Yes,
Speaker 5: John and Bob were already at the hospital and they said, Dave,
Speaker 5: you got to come over here. I said, okay, I'll
Speaker 5: be there shortly. So I went and Bob and John
Speaker 5: were sitting next to Dolly and she had done her
Speaker 5: she had had her hair done, her makeup was done,
Speaker 5: and she she was just bathed in this light and
Speaker 5: they were both sitting next to her, and she had
Speaker 5: this huge smile on her face when I walked in.
Speaker 5: And I walked in and I said, oh my gosh, Dolly,
Speaker 5: you look like an angel. She goes not yet And
Speaker 5: this was a week before she passed away, and so
Speaker 5: you know, John, Bob and I went out into the
Speaker 5: hallway and we were crying, holding each other in a
Speaker 5: hug and laughing, and during the laugh, I farted, and
Speaker 5: Bob said, and we're in the hallway and now we're
Speaker 5: crying and laughing, and now we're laughing harder and crying
Speaker 5: because I farted because I couldn't hold it, you know,
Speaker 5: And Bob stops. He looks at me, and Johnny goes,
Speaker 5: we better go check on my mom. You might have
Speaker 5: just killed her. Bob love telling the story. I think
Speaker 5: Dave's fart eventually killed my mom. But I mean, it
Speaker 5: doesn't get me funnier than that. It does get sicker or.
Speaker 4: Funny, and that's like you have. It's I think so much.
Speaker 4: I mean, comedy is just you know, time plus time
Speaker 4: plus pain equals comedy or whatever the W. C.
Speaker 2: Fields quote is, you know, and.
Speaker 5: Like children or pet.
Speaker 4: Or right, Yeah he did say that, but yeah, sorry
Speaker 4: that we can bleep that out.
Speaker 2: We try to keep it clean on the show. It's
Speaker 2: really hard.
