Speaker 4: This makes so much sense for my eye. Oh good, okay, okay,
Speaker 4: have y'all seen the questions or is this a surprise question?
Speaker 2: I chose not to see the questions Abe chose to
Speaker 2: see the questions.
Speaker 1: I've seen the questions I had. I just glanced at
Speaker 1: them real quack to make sure I don't know what
Speaker 1: they are. So I'm just flying by the seat of
Speaker 1: my pants. It's sort of well, that indicative of who
Speaker 1: we are as people. Yeah, this is our personalities. I
Speaker 1: gotta be prepared, right, same.
Speaker 4: I feel very much to save Andrea. But this is
Speaker 4: perfect because this is a Jody specific question.
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, great, but I felt bad about But.
Speaker 1: Don't feel bad. This is a good question for Jody.
Speaker 4: I love the Stephanie Michelle Sisters chapter books that came
Speaker 4: out in the nineties. What you wore in the cluver
Speaker 4: Here comes the brand new Me has like lived in
Speaker 4: my brain forever with envy.
Speaker 3: I still like it.
Speaker 6: Yes, were you aware of the series?
Speaker 4: Did you do special photo shoots for them? And any
Speaker 4: other detailed or feelings that you remember about those books?
Speaker 3: Oh? Boy, the Stephanie books.
Speaker 2: Well, originally you know, it was just the Stephanie series
Speaker 2: that had come out, and yeah, here comes the brand
Speaker 2: new Me with the very blossom esque hat and the
Speaker 2: sweater and like the boots on.
Speaker 3: That was one of my favorite outfits.
Speaker 2: So I'm so glad that you also loved it and
Speaker 2: it lives in your brain because that was one of
Speaker 2: my favorite outfits of my like eleven twelve year old life.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was the brown It was. It was just
Speaker 3: very nineties.
Speaker 2: It was like the boots with a dress and a
Speaker 2: big hat with a big flower on it. For those
Speaker 2: of you who have not seen the cover, we'll post
Speaker 2: it up to the Instagram stories.
Speaker 3: But those books were really fun and I did get
Speaker 3: to do.
Speaker 2: Of separate photo shoots for them with the Schultz brothers Andrea,
Speaker 2: who I'm sure you have.
Speaker 1: Shot shots, yes, yes, like almost all of them, Yes,
Speaker 1: by the brothers.
Speaker 2: The Schultz brothers were twin brothers who were photographers in
Speaker 2: and they worked in the eighties and nineties, and almost
Speaker 2: every headshot that you saw was them, they like, which
Speaker 2: was what you would bring in on an audition or whatever.
Speaker 2: But they also shot all of the cover art for
Speaker 2: all the Stephanie books. There was one where I had
Speaker 2: a bunch of friends with me. I think it was
Speaker 2: like the Flamingo something, the Flamingo Club one or whatever,
Speaker 2: And those were actually my real friends who came with
Speaker 2: my friend Sarah, who lived across the Street, my friend
Speaker 2: Tia who I can't remember who else was on the
Speaker 2: cover of that one, but they were actually like my
Speaker 2: personal friends.
Speaker 3: But we would do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, those photo shoots I remember were long days though,
Speaker 2: because it was like we were shooting like twenty four covers.
Speaker 2: It was twenty four different looks, and you were just like, yeah,
Speaker 2: it was like an eight hour day of just changing
Speaker 2: and taking pictures and changing and taking pictures and trying
Speaker 2: to figure out what each book title was and how
Speaker 2: we could, you know, put a prop in there, a
Speaker 2: phone or whatever. But then at some point they continued
Speaker 2: on the book series, and then they also started the
Speaker 2: Stephanie and Michelle Sister book series.
Speaker 3: And we never did any photo shoots for those.
Speaker 2: If you look at them, they look a little some
Speaker 2: of them look most of them, I think all of
Speaker 2: the Sister books and the later Stephanie books, it's just
Speaker 2: my head copy and like pasted onto someone else's body.
Speaker 2: And this was in the days before like you know,
Speaker 2: photoshop and all of this was really great.
Speaker 3: So there was definitely some that you look at and you're.
Speaker 2: Like, that is that head actually attached to the body
Speaker 2: or and it's not, because it's yeah, it's not it's
Speaker 2: not my head.
Speaker 3: So those were some weird ones.
Speaker 2: Because and it was because the books were really successful,
Speaker 2: but I had I was now fourteen or fifteen, and
Speaker 2: was not the age that people had, like the you know,
Speaker 2: the kids who were reading these books thought of Stephanie
Speaker 2: as so they kept shooting like photographs with kids that
Speaker 2: were more of that age and then just pasting old
Speaker 2: pictures of my head onto them.
Speaker 3: So that's so cool.
Speaker 6: Yeah, because there were some.
Speaker 4: Where you had like shorter hair, which you could tell
Speaker 4: was probably a year or so after fool House had
Speaker 4: gone off the air, right, And someone else in the
Speaker 4: comment section asked about that too, because as a little kid,
Speaker 4: I'd be like, oh my gosh, I get to see
Speaker 4: what Stephanie looks like now, and I would like imagine
Speaker 4: Stephanie being older, because I could tell, like this was
Speaker 4: Jody older, right, right, And I always felt so rad.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, it's continuing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they definitely there were some. I think I
Speaker 2: think I remember the one you're talking about with the
Speaker 2: shorter hair. I was, Yeah, I was a little bit
Speaker 2: older for that. I think that might have been like
Speaker 2: the last time we did actual photos for it, and
Speaker 2: they were like okay, like now we're keeping Stephanie sort
Speaker 2: of younger and like in the book series anyway, and
Speaker 2: so I, you know, at some point stopped looking like
Speaker 2: Steph I guess a little bit start when you are
Speaker 2: like yeah, yeah, like eleven or something.
Speaker 4: Well, I really appreciate you answering my question a lot.
Speaker 3: Absolutely applied.
Speaker 4: So this was a very popular question. And when I like,
Speaker 4: okay posted it, I was self conscious because it's like,
Speaker 4: this is not the kind of question like what if
Speaker 4: she did even remember? And I was like what if
Speaker 4: she didn't get paid for that?
Speaker 2: And she's like, oh my god, like either, No, the
Speaker 2: Stephanie books were like I have the entire series here.
Speaker 2: My kid Zoe had read some of them when she
Speaker 2: was younger. Yeah, the Stephanie books were a very very
Speaker 2: popular series. So I'm always on her. What was your
Speaker 2: favorite book? Which one was your favorite book of the
Speaker 2: out of the series.
Speaker 4: It was definitely the Here Comes to Brand New Media.
Speaker 4: I think because I could like look at the cover
Speaker 4: and I like still like to this day, like besides
Speaker 4: the hat, I would wear this outfit. It's a really
Speaker 4: pretty like beige. There's layers, there's like a dress under
Speaker 4: their dress. I was like, that looks really cute, but
Speaker 4: it's specifically because like you want to change yourself and
Speaker 4: I think you get into trouble. I didn't remember the plot,
Speaker 4: but I looked it up yesterday. I was like, you
Speaker 4: sneak into the cafeteria and I think you get in trouble.
Speaker 4: I would have to reread it, but I remember as
Speaker 4: like a fourth or fifth grader reading it, learning the lesson. Okay,
Speaker 4: when you get to middle school, don't change yourself. You
Speaker 4: don't want to get in trouble. Just stay true to
Speaker 4: who you are. Book away from it, I was like,
Speaker 4: cool outfit, but like, just be you.
Speaker 3: I'm so happy to know that that was the message
Speaker 3: that you got. Also that the outfit was cute, outfit was.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 2: I appreciate that, and I'm and I hope that the
Speaker 2: lesson stuck. I hope Stephanie's lesson of you know, be
Speaker 2: yourself was that it really resonated.
Speaker 3: I love that it definitely did.
Speaker 4: I think I learned that from you in the book,
Speaker 4: and then definitely from like kim me over your stay.
Speaker 1: That's so awesome.
Speaker 3: I love that so much.
Speaker 2: Rachel, what an awesome question. I really appreciate it awesome.

Speaker 4: So excited.
Speaker 1: We're so excited that you're here and that you you
Speaker 1: joined us today to be our second caller of the
Speaker 1: day with a question. This is so cool. Wait tell
Speaker 1: us how so you you responded to our question on
Speaker 1: our Instagram page, yes, and provided your own question, and
Speaker 1: then we just picked you out of the blue and
Speaker 1: DMed you. That's how old this went down. Okay, I
Speaker 1: mean we had a producer behind the scenes involved with this, obviously,
Speaker 1: but that's so cool. Were you so surprised?
Speaker 5: Yes, I was super super excited. Lots of like really exciting.
Speaker 5: The little things have been happening to me lately. It's
Speaker 5: amazing good.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm so happy to hear that. Keep that, keep
Speaker 2: the good vibes going.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm a I'm actually twenty I'm a twenty year
Speaker 5: childhood cancer survivor. It's twenty years for since my last
Speaker 5: chemo this year, so it's like super uper special.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's very special.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's been just.
Speaker 5: Like so much like little like serendipitous moments lately, and
Speaker 5: this is another thing that's a dream come true for me.
Speaker 3: Wonderful. Oh that makes me really happy to hear.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well tell us your question, which yeah, I can't
Speaker 1: wait to hear it.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: My question was what has been the most important lesson
Speaker 5: that you've learned from your characters?
Speaker 1: Well, I actually learned a lot from Kimmy Gibbler, but
Speaker 1: not until I was an adult, because growing up being
Speaker 1: a teenager and being like a wacky character like Kimmy
Speaker 1: was not like the best for my self esteem. Growing up,
Speaker 1: I always just thought of myself as a punchline and
Speaker 1: like you know, I'm just there for people to make
Speaker 1: jokes at and poke fun at, and for the Tanners
Speaker 1: to yell at to go home.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 1: But then, you know, as the decades went on and
Speaker 1: the show Full House ended and we were get getting
Speaker 1: ready to go back to do Fuller House, I started
Speaker 1: hearing from a lot of fans about what Kimmy Gibler
Speaker 1: meant to them when they were growing up watching Full House,
Speaker 1: and they really appreciated how Kimmy Gibbler taught them that
Speaker 1: it's okay to be different, and that sort of blew
Speaker 1: my mind that I kept hearing this over and over again,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you know what, there's a bigger lesson here.
Speaker 1: Kimmy Gibler wasn't just a punchline. She was unapologetically herself.
Speaker 1: You know. She was wacky, She marched to the beat
Speaker 1: of her own drums. She wore crazy clothing, and she
Speaker 1: didn't care like she wasn't insecure about it like I,
Speaker 1: as the actor, was insecure to wear those clothing. But
Speaker 1: Kimmy was not. You know, she was very proud to
Speaker 1: be herself. There was a lot of self love with Kimmy,
Speaker 1: and I think that's a great lesson and that you
Speaker 1: don't have to fit in with the popular crowd. You
Speaker 1: don't have to have the latest trendy clothing to wear.
Speaker 1: You know, as long as you just are yourself, it's
Speaker 1: okay to be weird, you know, being weird just kind
Speaker 1: of like your superpower. And that was a great lesson
Speaker 1: for me, and just to know that I wasn't just
Speaker 1: a punchline. I wasn't there just to be the comedic relief,
Speaker 1: you know. I was there also to show people that
Speaker 1: it's okay to be different.
Speaker 2: And that's what I Kimmy was ahead of her time
Speaker 2: in that regard, in that sort of like self acceptance,
Speaker 2: that radical self acceptance of like this is just who
Speaker 2: I am.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I love that about Kimmy.
Speaker 1: Oh I do too.
Speaker 3: I do too.
Speaker 1: And it's it's rare to see teenage girls portrayed like that,
Speaker 1: you know, just unabashed self confidence, right even though she's
Speaker 1: so crazy, you know, she's got an ostrich in her backyard,
Speaker 1: but she's just like this is normal, Like why would
Speaker 1: this be weird? So yeah, no, I think it's it's
Speaker 1: very admirable to write a teenage girl that way. You
Speaker 1: don't you don't see it very often, so I'm very
Speaker 1: honored to have played her.
Speaker 2: Oh let's see one of those lessons from Steph. I
Speaker 2: will say also Steph, I think she was her own
Speaker 2: person in a lot of ways. But I think the
Speaker 2: really like one of the things I loved about Steph
Speaker 2: is that she wasn't perfect like Stephanie would find herself
Speaker 2: in trouble. Stephanie would kind of make choices that weren't
Speaker 2: the best or she you know, but she I think
Speaker 2: was a very real representation of some of the things
Speaker 2: that you're faced with growing up. And she I think
Speaker 2: Steph always like made the right choice at the end,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. She she kind of struggled
Speaker 2: and she wanted to fit in, but Steph always kind
Speaker 2: of also marched to the beat of her own drum
Speaker 2: and really stood up for herself. And Stephanie also like
Speaker 2: she didn't take anybody's nonsense, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Steph was she had a little sass and she'd let
Speaker 2: you know it. And I always appreciated that about her
Speaker 2: because Steph, you know, she wasn't gonna she wasn't gonna
Speaker 2: take anybody's crap. From the time she was, you know,
Speaker 2: a little kid, when we first met her at five,
Speaker 2: until you know, the end seasons of Fuller House Steph
Speaker 2: was always kind of the you know, the not the
Speaker 2: voice of reason necessarily, but the you know, the the
Speaker 2: one that was always pointing out everyone's.
Speaker 3: Like, you, guys, this is ridiculous. And I like that
Speaker 3: about Greek chorus. Yeah, sort of the Greek chorus exactly.
Speaker 1: She was.
Speaker 3: Steph was always the one that was like, does anyone
Speaker 3: else see this is ridiculous? But yeah, she was a.
Speaker 2: Very fun character to play, So I yeah, I think
Speaker 2: if people, you know, learn from Kimmy always to be
Speaker 2: yourself and learn from Steph to you know, not take
Speaker 2: anybody's crap.
Speaker 3: I think those are two pretty important lessons.
Speaker 1: And I think it's also important to realize through Stephanie
Speaker 1: that it's okay to make mistakes as long as you
Speaker 1: learn from them. Like, even though you said Stephanie wasn't perfect,
Speaker 1: but as long as you learn the lesson. With the
Speaker 1: violins playing in the background at the right at the
Speaker 1: end of twenty two minutes, then that's okay, you know, right,
Speaker 1: that's a great question.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a really good question. Grace.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so happy that you came on our show and
Speaker 1: got to be part of Yeah Tantos.
Speaker 2: I'm so glad we were one more wonderful, serendipitous event
Speaker 2: in uh, what is looking like a very happy year
Speaker 2: for you?
Speaker 5: Absolutely, thank you ladies so much.
Speaker 1: I love you, Grace and we love you too, Grace.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 1: That was so fun that it's fun.
Speaker 3: The guests on I love this, I like it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. This Q and A episode is presented by Hyundai.
Speaker 3: Melissa.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Hi, welcome to How Rude Tannertos. How
Speaker 1: are you so nice to me? So you doo you're
Speaker 1: you're a part of the she wolf pack here. Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, today on How Rude Rilled, this is so good.
Speaker 3: Oh, thank you.
Speaker 2: I'm so glad that we are getting to have actual
Speaker 2: listeners on the show today. It's really fun getting to
Speaker 2: hear from people who are enjoying the show.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's so cool.
Speaker 4: Huge.
Speaker 6: Well, even my kids are huge fans of the podcast.
Speaker 6: But we are all huge fans of the shows, like
Speaker 6: lifetime fans since I was five. So this is like
Speaker 6: my dream, Like I've got all the books I pulled
Speaker 6: out of their beds. Wow, everyone know it said I
Speaker 6: was Stephanie, So like Jody, this is like a dream
Speaker 6: for me.
Speaker 1: I can see blonde hair.
Speaker 3: Yep, were you a middle child as well.
Speaker 6: No, I was the oldest.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, got it.
Speaker 6: But I have a middle now, so I get it.
Speaker 1: How many kids do you have?
Speaker 6: I have three boys?
Speaker 3: Three boys.
Speaker 6: Oh, they relate to like the Fuller House boys now right.
Speaker 6: Behople were like, I'm Jackson, I'm you know, like that
Speaker 6: kind of thing. So it's cool for them.
Speaker 3: I love the you know, a whole new generation gets
Speaker 3: to watch the show.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, we all love it. And I got my
Speaker 6: littlest started on full like he still cries at the
Speaker 6: episode when Uncle Jesse moves out like he's home here.
Speaker 6: The oldest, the ten year old, is still like right,
Speaker 6: you know, and they all love it. So I I
Speaker 6: was going to do this today and they were like,
Speaker 6: can we please miss school and beyond with you know what?
Speaker 2: Oh no, this is mom's Mom's.
Speaker 1: Street, Mom's turn, Mom's turn.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm dying to hear your question, Melissa, Yes, what
Speaker 2: have you brought to us today?
Speaker 6: So well, obviously I have a bunch, But my main
Speaker 6: question was how did both of you feel when the
Speaker 6: show ended? Like were you ready to move on? Were
Speaker 6: you devastated? Where you you know? Did it feel too soon?
Speaker 6: I just kind of wanted to know how both of
Speaker 6: you felt when that all went down.
Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, unless you want to go first, sure, no, no, Abe,
Speaker 1: you go, Okay. I was sad that it was ending.
Speaker 1: Of course, we didn't know we were being canceled until
Speaker 1: about three weeks before we shot the final episode, so
Speaker 1: it did come as a bit of a surprise. But
Speaker 1: personally for me at that phase in my life, I
Speaker 1: was kind of ready to move on. Like I was
Speaker 1: eighteen years old, I was actually a freshman in college.
Speaker 1: I was going part time because I was also working
Speaker 1: on full house, So I was kind of just at
Speaker 1: that time in my life where I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm ready to move into the dorm and just be
Speaker 1: an adult and just be a student and only a
Speaker 1: student for the first time, and not be a student
Speaker 1: and an actor and hold down a full time job
Speaker 1: at the same time. So although I was very sad,
Speaker 1: like that final taping was really sad. I know, there's
Speaker 1: footage out there of our final curtain call and we're
Speaker 1: all crying and hugging each other, So that was sad,
Speaker 1: And of course I was going to miss the people,
Speaker 1: But as far as the show, I was kind of
Speaker 1: just I was ready to move on, never thinking that
Speaker 1: we would get come back thirty years later into a
Speaker 1: fuller house. But yeah, I transitioned pretty well into college life,
Speaker 1: moved right into the dorms. Actually think there was some
Speaker 1: overlap between when I moved into the dorm and taping
Speaker 1: that final or taping those final few episodes. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I was ready, ready to move on, ready for college life,
Speaker 1: ready to be an adult. And as you know what
Speaker 1: that was, that was my last job. I was done.
Speaker 1: I sort of quit Hollywood at that point as an
Speaker 1: eighteen year old, never thinking I would come back to
Speaker 1: it at the age of forty. So yeah, does that
Speaker 1: make sense. So yeah, emotionally I was I'm gonna miss
Speaker 1: these people, but professionally I was like, Okay, I've been there,
Speaker 1: done that, ready to ready to move on. And that
Speaker 1: was a spectacular transition for ye good good timing.
Speaker 3: What about you Jones to be.
Speaker 2: You know, honestly, I think, uh, it was really hard
Speaker 2: on me at the time, and I think only as
Speaker 2: time has gone have I realized.
Speaker 3: Just how hard that.
Speaker 2: Was on me, just because I mean, I guess we'll
Speaker 2: just get into some deep answers here, but no, I
Speaker 2: think a lot of it also had to do with
Speaker 2: like my attachment shoes and being adopted in like that
Speaker 2: sense of finding family and you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: and sort of always having that be that fear of
Speaker 2: losing the people that you love or disconnecting from them.
Speaker 2: And I think at that moment in my life, I
Speaker 2: was thirteen, I was just starting I was like finishing
Speaker 2: middle school. I didn't really know who I was. I
Speaker 2: was trying to figure it out. I knew that I
Speaker 2: wasn't Stephanie, but I that's all I had ever been,
Speaker 2: you know. I Honestly, for me, I think it was
Speaker 2: I was glad that I was able to kind of,
Speaker 2: like Andrea, start high school and be like just a
Speaker 2: student and do that even though I was still working
Speaker 2: kind of here and there. But I think it was
Speaker 2: a pretty rough adjustment for me, just given the time
Speaker 2: period that I was at in my life that, you know,
Speaker 2: that end of middle school, early high school. Who the
Speaker 2: hell am I? What do I want to be? What
Speaker 2: do I want to become? And then there were you know,
Speaker 2: layers on that. There was layers that had nothing to
Speaker 2: do with being on television, and then there were you know,
Speaker 2: there was that sort of layer added to it as well.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it was a really hard adjustment, and it
Speaker 2: was also all I'd really ever known. I mean, I
Speaker 2: started the show when I was five, when I started school,
Speaker 2: I never had a school experience outside of being on
Speaker 2: the show. So it also felt kind of like everything
Speaker 2: that was known and familiar was suddenly gone, right, And yeah,
Speaker 2: so it was I you know, and it I think
Speaker 2: at the time, I was like, no, I'm okay. I
Speaker 2: mean I'm a little sad, you know, it's fine, But
Speaker 2: like now I look back on it, and it really
Speaker 2: I think it.
Speaker 3: Really affected me.
Speaker 2: And it was a really big loss at a kind
Speaker 2: of pivotal moment in my life. And so, you know,
Speaker 2: and like Andrea said, then getting back to come back
Speaker 2: and do fuller was this sense of coming back to
Speaker 2: heal something and to sort of remember that, uh, you know,
Speaker 2: goodbyes aren't always forever, and and just that things change,
Speaker 2: but that they also can come back around and like
Speaker 2: kind of the beauty in that too, and getting to
Speaker 2: know that like all of the life that had happened
Speaker 2: in between, and now I get to come back and
Speaker 2: enjoy it in a different way. So yeah, the ending
Speaker 2: of the show was was a struggle for me, but
Speaker 2: I think it really uh, in a lot of ways
Speaker 2: has helped me to figure out who I was outside
Speaker 2: of Stephanie.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 2: It kind of came at that right time. So anyway,
Speaker 2: so that's my long and dramatic answer.
Speaker 1: That was great. No, that was that was really great.
Speaker 6: We're excited for Fuller then, like Fuller was something you
Speaker 6: were like looking forward to doing.
Speaker 3: It wasn't like, oh yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, we were involved in pitching it from the beginning.
Speaker 2: We were in all the pitch meetings and stuff. Me
Speaker 2: Candice Andrea, John Stamos, Jeff Franklin, and Bob Boyette were
Speaker 2: going in and we were the ones pitching the show,
Speaker 2: so we knew it was coming.
Speaker 3: We were really excited about it.
Speaker 2: We were pitching it and it hadn't quite started yet,
Speaker 2: so it was like, oh, maybe it's not, maybe it's not,
Speaker 2: and then it just all it all fell into place.
Speaker 1: I think it finally hit us when we walked onto
Speaker 1: the set for the first time, and you know, they
Speaker 1: were still kind of building it, but walking through that set,
Speaker 1: we're like, Okay, now it's real, Like it's like walking
Speaker 1: into your childhood bedroom again and you're like, wow, the
Speaker 1: memories come flooding back, and I think because we were
Speaker 1: adults by that point, we'd realize just how fleeting this is,
Speaker 1: you know, just how special this show is and how
Speaker 1: special the people are that are involved in the show.
Speaker 1: And I just I know for myself, I won't speak
Speaker 1: for Jody, but for me, it's had such a deeper
Speaker 1: appreciation for forgetting to do it again, you know, for
Speaker 1: the childhood that I had, and then forgetting to be
Speaker 1: able to.
Speaker 2: Get It's like getting to go back and do the
Speaker 2: thing that your parents were like, Oh, you know, you
Speaker 2: would have such a different understanding of this when you're
Speaker 2: an adult, you know what I mean, Like and you
Speaker 2: and we got to kind of go back and do
Speaker 2: that and be like, wow, this really was pretty cool.
Speaker 3: And was really special. You know. So anyway, what a
Speaker 3: great question, Melissa.
Speaker 6: Well, it came back out of time too, when so
Speaker 6: many of the original people who watched the show are
Speaker 6: now having their own kids.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 6: I can share that with Art, Like my kids watched
Speaker 6: Full House, but now Buller House is kind of their thing,
Speaker 6: right right. They have that which is so neat for
Speaker 6: like both of us, you know, as parent and child
Speaker 6: to experience that. Yeah, thank you for answering that.
Speaker 1: That was absolutely such a good question.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I mean one of many, but not one
Speaker 6: of my burning ones. I had to ask one of
Speaker 6: your burning ones.
Speaker 2: Well, it was a great It was a great question, Melissa.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for coming on the show today.
Speaker 2: We really appreciate it, and I'm so happy to know that
Speaker 2: we have generations of fans in your household.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, and it will on and give the boys
Speaker 1: a big hug from us.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, thank you how much.
Speaker 6: It was amazing chatting with both of you.
Speaker 1: Bye, bye, welcome to Howard Tannerto's Thank you so happy.
Speaker 3: You're here, Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 1: Are you a long time fan of Full House or
Speaker 1: have you recently discovered the show in our podcast.
Speaker 7: I've listened to the podcast since the beginning. You know,
Speaker 7: I've been a fan of Jody's other podcast that she's
Speaker 7: done and Hilarity of Parenting Miss His Fortunes, and you know,
Speaker 7: then I Fuller House came about and then I kind
Speaker 7: of got back into everything.
Speaker 2: Great.
Speaker 3: Nice, nice, excited to hear what your what your question
Speaker 3: is for us today? Scott? What do you got so
Speaker 3: my question for.
Speaker 7: The both of you is if you could go back
Speaker 7: into Full House history and change something, whether it's a
Speaker 7: character trait, a storyline, or even something you know behind
Speaker 7: the scenes, what would that change be.
Speaker 3: Ooh, that's a good one.
Speaker 1: I don't think I I don't think I would change
Speaker 1: anything about Kimmy Gibbler because she's so fantastic just as is.
Speaker 1: But I wish we had been able to see her family,
Speaker 1: like I wish we could have met ye Gibblers. Like
Speaker 1: I know we meet Jimmy, we meet Jimmy and Fuller House,
Speaker 1: but in full House, I wish we could have seen
Speaker 1: her house or met her parents.
Speaker 3: Well, we saw the Gibbler house in Fuller.
Speaker 1: In Fuller, yes, but not in we saw the ostrich
Speaker 1: in the backyard, we saw the ostya. We just saw
Speaker 1: the refence.
Speaker 2: And that was which then implied that you were are
Speaker 2: behind the house neighbor, not our next door neighbor.
Speaker 3: But that's that's a question of physics. I'm not going to.
Speaker 1: See the eternal question is Kimmy on the right or behind?
Speaker 2: Everywhere the Gibblers were surroundings.
Speaker 3: That's why they didn't like them.
Speaker 1: Bought every house on the block.
Speaker 3: Gibblers were very impressive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I always thought if I, if I could cast
Speaker 1: mister and Missus Gibbler, I would cast This is such
Speaker 1: a pipe dream, but I would cast Martin Short as
Speaker 1: mister Gibbler and Jane Lynch as Missus Gibbler. Can you imagine, like.
Speaker 2: That would be the dream brilliant casting.
Speaker 3: They would be hysterical.
Speaker 2: I picture two of them together, yes, married, ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, it'd be fantastic. So that's what I would change.
Speaker 1: I would just change. I would want to meet the
Speaker 1: Gibbler parents. And I wish there had been just a
Speaker 1: couple more episodes kind of like the Sweet sixteen Kimmy's
Speaker 1: sixteenth birthday that DJ forgot because she was Dayton Steve.
Speaker 1: I wish there had been more like emotional beats for Kimmy,
Speaker 1: Like that was the only episode where we really saw
Speaker 1: her have any layers other than just like a punchline.
Speaker 1: And so yeah, I wish I'd gotten to like kind
Speaker 1: of stretch a little bit more and have a little
Speaker 1: bit more Yeah, just those emotional.
Speaker 3: Beats that character development.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a little more character development. I would have loved that.
Speaker 1: I think, I know, I mean, and that's that's what
Speaker 1: was so great about fuller is that I finally got
Speaker 1: to have those moments and see what Kimmy was like
Speaker 1: as a as a deeper person. But that scene you
Speaker 1: had with with Dave with Joey at the what was it,
Speaker 1: the engagement dinner? Engaging the engagement dinner. Yeah, that was
Speaker 1: the last.
Speaker 2: And you were talking about your crazy family and he's
Speaker 2: talking about his, and like, that was such a great
Speaker 2: scene in a great moment.
Speaker 3: I really didn't do it.
Speaker 1: I loved I loved that scene, and I loved that
Speaker 1: our characters connected for our terrible childhoods or you know,
Speaker 1: our terrible home lives, and that's why we found family
Speaker 1: in the Tanner family. And I think a lot of
Speaker 1: viewers can relate to that too. Even if you don't
Speaker 1: have your own Gibbler type right people at home, you know,
Speaker 1: you can relate to wanting to belong to another family. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I would change.
Speaker 3: I don't relate to that sometimes.
Speaker 2: Gosh, what's one thing I would change. I feel like
Speaker 2: like Steph's friendships were always a little like she had
Speaker 2: Gia for a little bit and Harry for a little bit,
Speaker 2: but I always felt like like Steph kinda I don't know,
Speaker 2: she she was always in DJ's business. But I felt
Speaker 2: like it would have been nice to see like Steph
Speaker 2: with her friend a little bit. Maybe that's just me
Speaker 2: being jealous because because DJ had Kimmy and Steph was
Speaker 2: you know, yay, you needed your own need, my own,
Speaker 2: my own companion, it was just middle child Cinder and
Speaker 2: I felt forgotten, right jeez, wow, Oh, I know what
Speaker 2: I'd change. The pink bunnies. Okay, this is the hill
Speaker 2: I'm gonna die on. The pink bunnies. The episode where
Speaker 2: Jesse moves out, which I think another somebody one of
Speaker 2: our other.
Speaker 3: Callers alluded to the episode where Jesse moves out.
Speaker 2: He moves out, and I believe doesn't Michelle give him
Speaker 2: the framed pink bunny?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, those.
Speaker 2: Were my bunnies that my mom was cut out for
Speaker 2: my wall when he took my room. And I always
Speaker 2: was a little bitter that the pink bunny storyline happened
Speaker 2: between Jesse and Michelle because those were steps bunnies that
Speaker 2: her mom, Jesse's sister. I mean, technically you know, also
Speaker 2: Michelle's mom and sister whatever, but like the I just
Speaker 2: felt like those were my bunnies, so That's the one
Speaker 2: thing I feel like I would have liked to have had.
Speaker 2: I know that it was because probably Michelle was younger
Speaker 2: and that was kind of the story.
Speaker 3: But but yeah, those were were my bunnies.
Speaker 1: That's a major oversight that the writers botched.
Speaker 3: That's one one little thing that I'd like to teach.
Speaker 3: Let's go back right now.
Speaker 1: You know it's easy.
Speaker 3: I mean with AI now we can do anything.
Speaker 4: I like.
Speaker 3: Well, that was a great question, Scott. I loved having
Speaker 3: to think about that. I was like, wait, would I.
Speaker 1: What's one thing you would change, Scott, Let's turn it around.
Speaker 1: What would you change about anything? Doesn't have to be
Speaker 1: about us, any storyline, any character.
Speaker 7: It's a storyline and character. I actually did think of
Speaker 7: if I could change something.
Speaker 3: Okay, since the.
Speaker 7: Tanner girls lost their mom, I was thinking to make
Speaker 7: Kimmy's character more relatable to DJ. Maybe she could lose
Speaker 7: her dad and then we get introduced to missus Gibbler,
Speaker 7: a character Jane Lynch. Yeah, and then maybe she starts
Speaker 7: a relationship with Joey and that kind of builds on
Speaker 7: gibler dynamic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would have been an interesting turn of events.
Speaker 3: I like that. I like this yes, fan fiction. What
Speaker 3: would happen if moments? I love it.
Speaker 1: I could see Dave with Jane. That would be a
Speaker 1: very py.
Speaker 7: Dave would have fun. Now I must parent to Kimmy,
Speaker 7: who you know, we all feel is the annoying neighbor girl,
Speaker 7: but you know, not an annoying neighbor.
Speaker 1: But oh that was the yeah, yeah, I'm not Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I I don't take that.
Speaker 3: I don't think that's supplement. That means I did not
Speaker 3: un indictment. That was actually you did it well.
Speaker 1: And then Kimmy could have moved into the full House
Speaker 1: or a lot sooner than you know, thirty years later
Speaker 1: with Fuller right right.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, but then is it weird when
Speaker 2: Steph marries Jimmy? But I was like no, because because
Speaker 2: Joey isn't related, so that doesn't there's no that doesn't get.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, that's not weird.
Speaker 2: I mean you you had our baby, that's not I
Speaker 2: mean if we get if that is not weird, then
Speaker 2: then Joey is a non issue.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's what I would change. I know we're going
Speaker 1: going off. I would change not this is fuller, not
Speaker 1: full in Fuller House. I hope I don't offend you, Jody,
Speaker 1: but I would not have made Stephanie pregnant in the
Speaker 1: I would see in the final episode. That is an
Speaker 1: insult to women everywhere who have battled infantiz. It's an
Speaker 1: insult to me. I carried that damn baby for nine months.
Speaker 1: I had a birthday.
Speaker 3: I honestly agree.
Speaker 2: I really did not think that Steph needed to be
Speaker 2: pregnant at the end either, because I thought that the
Speaker 2: story of the ivy F journey was so incredibly important
Speaker 2: and something really neat to tell, and I don't think.
Speaker 3: It needed to be topped off with like.
Speaker 2: But now here's a real bite, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: like that that sort of way kind of I don't
Speaker 2: know that was.
Speaker 1: It cheapened that whole storyline?
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I agree, I would have just Yeah.
Speaker 2: Plus, I think Stephanie really is She's an only child
Speaker 2: kind of parent, you know.
Speaker 3: It's yeah, okay, one and done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know, Steph, Steph is Steph is.
Speaker 2: She only has much room is there in that RV?
Speaker 2: You know, you got a baby and a Gibbler and
Speaker 2: a Tanner and presumably my DJ equipment.
Speaker 3: I don't know, you know what I mean like what's happened?
Speaker 1: So okay, we'll retcon yes storyline.
Speaker 2: I mean I've got an entire new series of books
Speaker 2: ready to go now based on Joey marrying Jane Lynch
Speaker 2: slash Missus Gibbler.
Speaker 1: And Mark.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm here for pitching the expanded full House.
Speaker 1: We'll give you credit credit to Scott.
