WEBVTT - Andrea Barber Meets World 0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:21.640 So depending on when we record a lot of these 0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:23.319 and we don't know exactly when they air, but so 0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:26.880 depending on when this airs. This last weekend, I was 0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:32.320 in Nashville for a convention and it was a great time. 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:34.159 People there are so amazing. 0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:38.760 The food is incredible, people are unbelievably friendly, but the 0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:42.199 amount of people that came up to me talking to 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:43.159 me about how. 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:46.559 Excited they are for the live show amazing. 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:50.440 Every other person was like, I've already got my tickets 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:52.480 to the live show.

I know. I'm 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:21.800 looking I'm really looking forward to Nashville in particular because 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:23.960 one because you told us about how great everyone was, 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.839 but also didn't you have some incredible food I found. 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:27.959 I ate at the scene. 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:30.400 But so the hotel they put us in was and 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:33.680 this is not an exaggeration, thirty steps from one of 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:37.839 the best barbecue places in Nashville. I think it's called Milton's, 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:39.640 I believe is what it was, called Miller's. 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:39.960 I don't know. 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.960 I'm gonna get, you know, hate for that, but oh man, 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:46.240 I went three times. When I was there, it was 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:49.480 just the pull pork and the brisket. 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:49.920 And I've never been. 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.280 Oh here we are time, I know, I know, but 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:55.720 it was no But now I have a question because 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:58.560 we keep getting that.

It would be difficult to 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:35.320 talk about the landscape of nineties family sitcoms without thinking 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:39.159 of our guest this week. She played the iconic Kimmy 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:43.440 Gibbler for one hundred and ninety two episodes of full House. 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:44.640 That's a lot. 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.800 Then she came back for the reboot of Fuller House, 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:52.440 clocking in seventy five more half hours. As Kimmy. She 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.800 played this role that really set the standard for the 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.560 nerdy best friend, a trope you still see on TV 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:01.960 decades later. And before Kimmy, she played Carrie Brady on 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.840 Days of Our Lives, starting as a six year old 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:09.200 for almost one hundred episodes over four years of the 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:12.440 soap opera. It's crazy, and people think we grew up 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:15.599 on TV. I mean she's like, I mean, truly grew 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:17.760 up on TV. But it was in nineteen eighty seven, 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:20.840 when Fullhouse debuted and eventually became the flagship show of 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:24.360 TGIF on ABC, that she became an unforgettable part of 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:28.520 our generation's popular culture, even saying the series final line. 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.599 This week, we are thrilled to welcome Andrea Barber to 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:41.880 Pod meets World.

So yeah, that's like 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:18.560 boot camp for actors. 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:18.880 Man. 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:22.000 So the mid to late eighties when you're on Days 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:22.640 of Our Lives. 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.479 Yeah, I was, well, yeah, I was six years old. 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:28.200 Let's see, so that was nineteen eighty two if I'm 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.720 doing the math correctly, early eighties. 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.720 Okay, wow wow maybe yeah, my gosh. 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.400 I'm so glad I was six years old because I 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.080 would have been a nervous wreck had I started acting 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:42.000 on a soap opera as an adult, because it's terrifying. 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:45.040 You have to memorize what sixty pages of dialogue every 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.120 single day. Let's do like your fourteen hour day, like 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:49.960 there's just no time to have a life. 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:51.520 Oh my gosh. 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.040 Yeah, it literally is boot camp for actors. 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:54.760 Wow. 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:58.720 So before you started on that, like what got you 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:02.200 interested in acting? Were your parents in the industry? Tell 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:03.600 us about your origin story? 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:08.640 Ooh, my origin story? Okay, Well, I don't have any recollection. 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:10.920 I don't have any recollection of being like, oh, I 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:12.800 want to be an actor because I started acting at 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.920 age five, right, you know, I was into like Plato 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:19.640 and you know, sidewalk chalk at that age. But my 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:23.080 parents were very into community theater, so that was like 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.800 the thing we did the Barber family, and I have 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.880 two older brothers. They were forced into it as well, 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:31.920 so the whole family we did like a Christmas Carol 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.760 at the local theater and it was a family hobby. 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:39.840 So we were doing one of these community theater productions. 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:45.040 It might have been The King and I I don't remember. Anyways, 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:48.160 it was during like there was an actor's striker. There 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.000 was something going on, and there were there were agents 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:56.040 out looking for fresh talent, and so my agent was 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.360 in the audience looking for fresh blood. I don't know, 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.200 and she approached my parents and were like, hey, are 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.440 you interested in putting your kids into the business, And 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:08.360 my parents, not knowing a thing about the industry, We're like, sure, 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:10.200 we'll give it, We'll give it a shot. Why not. 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.520 So my brothers and I went into Judy Savage was 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:19.960 my agent, and Judy's taught me how to slate. And 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:21.960 I was again five years old, so I didn't know 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:23.960 what I was doing, and so she taught me. You know, 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:26.760 you say, hi, my name is Andrea Barber and I'm 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:29.800 from the Savage Agency. And so I got up there 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:31.840 and I was all confident, you know, my five year 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.679 old self with my pigtails, and I was like, Hi, 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:40.480 I'm Andrea Barber and I'm from the Average Agency. And 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:42.360 I got I still got I still got it. She 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:43.520 still signed me, and I. 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:50.720 Really, Now, did she sign your brothers too? 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:51.560 She did. 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:54.079 Yeah, she represented all three of us for a very 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:57.640 long time. And then so my brothers did a lot 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.000 of commercials. You know, back in the day that commercials 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.840 were very, very popular and a good source of income 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:06.080 for child actors. Yes, so they did that. They did 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:10.080 appearances on General Hospital, you know, a couple of things 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:12.040 like that. And then when my brothers got to high school. 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:13.720 They were like, this sucks, Like, yeah, I don't want 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.440 to dated doing auditions. You know, It's just it's not 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:20.320 a very rewarding career unless you're lucky like I was. 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.120 And so they were like, we want to play volleyball 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:24.440 and we want to play water polo in high school. 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.160 We don't want to do this acting thing anymore. So 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:29.760 they left and they stopped acting and did did varsity 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.600 sports in high school. And I was, you know, I 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:34.600 was still having a lot of success and enjoying it, 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:35.440 so I stuck with it. 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.000 So you had signed with the Savage Agency at five, 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:40.800 and then you started you started the soap opera at six, 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:43.600 so you couldn't have possibly had that many auditions before 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:44.920 you booked that gig. 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:47.600 I don't I don't remember. I don't. 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:48.440 I know. 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:52.040 My very first job before Days of Our Lives was 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:56.040 a commercial for for what is it parque margarine or 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:59.400 whatever that was. It tastes like butter. So that was 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:04.360 very first job at age five, and I don't even 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:07.680 remember what I did between that and Days of Our Lives. Yeah, 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:09.920 maybe I didn't have many auditions. I don't know. 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.640 I mean you said job, Yeah, you just kept working 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.000 I mean you would also end up on a bunch 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:19.400 of shows that will make Will very jealous. Fantasy Island 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:25.160 Saying Elsewhere and the eighties Twilight Zone. Yeah great, I 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:29.000 mean those must have been like incredible learning experiences, unlike 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:30.199 my Barbie commercials. 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:35.400 Well, no, the classic shows were incredible, and we can 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:36.959 go through fantasy on all that stuff. 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:38.800 But I've held in a little. 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:42.079 Secret that eighties Days of Our Lives when we're talking 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.679 Bow and Hope, I was totally. 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:46.840 Ooh and Hope Classic. Still they're probably still on Days 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:47.280 of Our Lives. 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:49.400 I think they're probably still there now. But that's really 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.760 when it started. In the eighties was like what's going 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:53.280 out with Bow and Hope? So you were there for 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:55.560 like the Heyday.

They were such nice, they 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.840 were so kind to me, and I was a flower 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.480 girl in Bowe Hope's wedding, like the dad you were 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:20.720 at wedding. 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:26.880 In Will's mind, and then the fantasy island for the honeymoon. 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.040 Forget it. I can't even I can't do this anymore 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:30.440 TV wise. That's awesome. 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:33.880 Well, I'm glad you're impressed, because I don't think so. 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:35.280 At least I've impressed you will. 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:37.160 That's awesome. Oh my god. 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:40.480 You also had a guest starring role on Growing Pains 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:42.600 with yet another Cameron sibling. 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:47.640 Yeah, yeah, I did. I was the character Ben. I 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:52.319 was his like sort of girlfriend sort of for one episode. 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:54.840 That's it. And we didn't even tape with an audience. 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:56.800 It was such a weird week. I think they were 0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:59.480 behind or they were I don't know. There was some 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.000 sort of and so they're like, I just cancel the audience. 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:03.680 We're just gonna tape this as it is. So I 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:07.400 never got the studio audience experience on Growing Pains, but 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:09.240 it was still great. I mean, I knew Kirk and 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.920 so I knew a bunch of people on the show already, 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.120 So it was very comfortable and so was full house. 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:18.520 Then your first live studio audience experience. 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:22.199 Yes, for sure. Every Friday night it was. It was trippy. 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:25.000 It was I mean, you guys know, it was so fun. 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.560 Those were the days. That's how I spent my Friday nights. 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.720 Oh my gosh, so much fun. How do you remember 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:34.200 the feeling of it being incredibly different than doing the soap? 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:36.680 Like do you remember being like, oh, all the work 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:39.120 I had previously done on the soap is totally different 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:42.000 than this new thing I'm doing with a live studio 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:43.000 audience at a sitcom. 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.200 I don't remember it being that different, Like, the live 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:49.920 studio audience is such a it's such a joyful energy 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:53.040 surge that I wasn't like, oh wow, this is a 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.440 totally foreign world to me. It just I mean, acting 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.080 is acting, and it's like you read a script, you 0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:59.520 memorize the lines, and you you know, you spit it out. 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.600 So it didn't feel too different. But I knew it 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.120 was something special, you know, because of the because of 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:09.200 the relationship I have with the cast and the way 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:11.520 that we all gelled and had that chemistry right from 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:16.000 day one. It felt definitely special, and the live studio 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:17.720 audience was just the icing on the cake. 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:30.559 Do you remember your audition for Kimmy Gibbler? 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.320 I don't I feel so bad? I get that question 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:37.760 a lot and I mean I was ten when I 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:41.440 auditioned for Full House. I auditioned for the role of DJ. First, 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:45.439 didn't get that, but they called me back because they're like, oh, 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.560 we want to have you know, a neighbor girl, you know, 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.120 DJ's best friend. Can you read for the role of 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.560 Kimmy Gibbler? And I was like, okay. So, you know, 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.199 when you're a kid actor auditions, you just you don't 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.920 think about it. You just knew it. It's just such 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:01.560 a routine. Rote I was like, all right, here's another one. 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:03.920 You don't know, Oh, I'm auditioning for this hit TV 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:05.360 show is going to change my life and go for 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:09.120 the next you know, thirty five years. You don't think that. Fine, No, 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:11.200 So for me, it was just another audition. I was like, 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:15.400 all right, let's just do it. And it obviously it 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.040 was great, but I don't remember it specifically. No. 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.360 We had Jody on the show recently and. 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:26.000 I listened to that episode. It was so good. Yeah, unfriendly, 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:31.720 she's so shy, she's very she's very introverted and a lot. 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:32.600 Not a fan. 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:36.920 It's so interesting though, between with her and you that 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.760 you guys and I guess the Olsen's in a way 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:42.480 like you guys were a cast of people who just 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.880 were already acting by the time you like became conscious, right, 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:47.560 do you know what I mean? Like, because she started 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:49.480 on the show when she was five or six, and 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.920 she also doesn't really remember life without acting. That's a 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:54.520 that's a really interesting environment. 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:56.600 Candis was the same way, it wasn't she a Candas 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:58.400 started really young as well, like really young. 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:01.480 Yeah, we all started very young and had several years 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:03.360 under our belts before full House. 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:04.360 Wow. 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:07.280 And so you guys started a little older you were. 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:08.840 Yeah, I think we were all eleventh. 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:10.680 Plus started ten eleven, twelve. 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:14.600 Yeah, okay, so you remember life before right, yes, yeah, 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:16.920 exactly you started act? Okay, Yeah, I don't have that. 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:20.200 I don't remember anything before life. 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:20.440 I know. 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:23.560 It is really interesting because yeah, you're right, right, or 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:26.960 I hadn't put that together that like that entire cast 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:29.760 was made of people who were pros by the time 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:30.320 they started. 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.720 Yeah. Yeah, because you guys started at such a younger age. Yeah, 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:34.640 it's so interesting. 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:38.440 And you guys are still very close, right, I mean 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:41.840 that's what Joe. Yeah, yeah, it's I think there's like 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.720 even more of an intense family vibe you know, like 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:48.200 protecting each other as children essentially, you know, like in 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:49.640 a way that Yeah. 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:50.080 We were much more. 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:51.760 I think we were more of a teen show, you 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:53.440 know what I mean, Like you guys were more of 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.920 a family kids show, or you were kids on a 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:59.960 family show, whereas we were like a teenager show. 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:03.280 In you know, he started as kids and then they 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:05.480 very quickly were like, now you're a teen show, and 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:08.000 so we became teens very quickly. 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:11.760 Yeah, And they separated the family life from kind of 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:13.720 the school life a lot more on our show than 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:16.760 Full House, where it's really was the family vibe, right, Yeah, 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.360 so we I mean by what the six or seventh year, 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:21.440 Betsy and Rustie were barely on the show, So it 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:25.480 was that we really, yeah, moved from that kind of dynamic. 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:29.280 Andrea, were you a were you a quirky kid? Did 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:32.160 the character of Kimmy Gibbler speak to you? Did you, 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:36.840 like just did it come very naturally? Did you love it? 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:40.720 It came very naturally. I did love it. I'm nothing 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.120 like Kimmy Gibler. It never have been. It's so far 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:46.080 out like I was a shy I've always been an 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.280 awkward person, Like I've made a whole career out of 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:51.360 being awkward. But I've always been awkward, but I'm very 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:54.080 introverted and shy, whereas Kimmy was just like like and 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:56.240 she's just like lets it all out, you know. March 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:57.880 is to the beat of her own drum, doesn't care, 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:02.040 says what's on her mind, tats everyone around her. And 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:04.840 I don't think I'm that way. I'm just much more shy, 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:07.600 kind of like hide in the background. Let me disappear 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:11.439 in the background and be a wallflower. But I always 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:14.520 felt awkward. And maybe that's different because Kimmy Gibler never 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:18.080 felt awkward. She just felt like herself and she owned 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.239 it and loved it and was proud of it. She 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:23.399 didn't feel different, she felt great about herself. And it 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:25.639 was I think about that now as an adult and 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.199 I'm like, what a great role model Kimmy Gibler was, 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:30.800 you know. And I hear that from fans now, how 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:32.760 they're like, oh my gosh, we related to Kimmy Gibler 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:35.720 as like the offbeat one, you know, the different one. 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:41.120 And that's that's a thing with Rkle Kimmi Gibbler, there's 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:44.919 you always have that character on these sitcoms, and so 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:46.920 I think it spoke to a lot of kids that 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:50.320 felt unpopular or like they didn't fit in, and so 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:55.399 I'm really proud of it. Now. I welcome the offbeat 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:58.679 part of my personality, you know, I just I welcome 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:00.560 all of that. I think there's a lot of strength 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:01.639 in being yourself. 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:06.200 Yeah, and there's a strange kind of because there's always 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:08.520 comparisons with Boym's World and Full House kind of you know, 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:11.080 that's in the same kind of zeitgeist. And there's something 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:14.959 so interesting about how Full House seemed to kind of 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:17.880 lean into exactly what you're talking about, the being yourself 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:21.159 and the kind of this leaning into the strange for 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:23.000 lack of a better word, where it seemed like boy 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:26.080 Mee's World tried that and then would quickly move away. 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:26.679 You know. 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:29.080 Tapango was was very strange and then they moved away 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:31.480 from that. Mincus was just completely taken off the show. 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:35.199 So there's something we kind of got to the norm, 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:38.240 if that makes sense, and we we tried the strange, 0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:41.199 and then I'm just curious as to why the kind 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:43.560 of dichotomy between the two shows, because people think they're 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:46.880 so similar and yet it seems like everything that Full 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:49.240 House leaned into, Boyman's World leaned away from. And I 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:53.040 don't know why that would happen from two different shows. 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:53.280 I don't know. 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:54.880 It's just because as you were saying that, I was like, yeah, 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:57.840 Topango was was the weird, offbeat, quirky one, and then 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:00.400 till she wasn't and then Minkus was the off quirky 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:01.840 wine until he was just gone. 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:04.320 Isn't strange, But isn't. 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:07.920 Full House like essentially a show of about people from 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:11.639 people being together like cramped and misfits, like all different 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:13.760
