Speaker 4: And then there's a show called True Jackson m uh
Speaker 4: and I just everyone was. I knew every it was
Speaker 4: the right age. That was the right age for all
Speaker 4: the you know, like if you're the same age as
Speaker 4: the show, people like you guys right along more with
Speaker 4: you guys than the Elias or you know, Michael or anything.
Speaker 1: I mean like, yeah, yeah, I was.
Speaker 2: Well, it would probably be weird if you were hanging
Speaker 2: out with Elias and Michael. People might go, why is
Speaker 2: Jim hanging out with them?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so right, Jim's just in there playing video games.
Speaker 4: That I mean not to say that weird stuff doesn't
Speaker 4: happen on a show. Is I was there from what
Speaker 4: I heard. I wasn't there early on.
Speaker 6: I got I came in when the new show runners started.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, right right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6: Right, And so there's some drama before me.
Speaker 1: Oh there's always drama right right with problem. There was drama,
Speaker 1: prop drama.
Speaker 2: I don't think there was trauma, okay, just just in
Speaker 2: general upheaval of changing everything over.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, were you were you prop master when there
Speaker 5: was a fire in the prop room and we all
Speaker 5: got evacuated.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's during your reign for lot. That
Speaker 1: wasn't you looking? That was the other guy?
Speaker 5: Okay, well maybe that's why he was fired and you
Speaker 5: had to come in because there was a fire in
Speaker 5: the prop room.
Speaker 6: Mostly you're you're you had a security guy.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right, and I and
Speaker 2: I think he was the one that like that was like, hey,
Speaker 2: something's on fire, and and we all thought, wait, you
Speaker 2: probably remember the story about I don't know why I'm
Speaker 2: not remembering all the details right now, but it was.
Speaker 5: It was during an episode where John Stamos was was
Speaker 5: a guest start that week, and he he was doing
Speaker 5: crazy stuff in the kitchen as Uncle Jesse does, and
Speaker 5: there was something where the fire alarm there's like a
Speaker 5: fire in the kitchen and the fire alarm in the
Speaker 5: house is supposed to go off. So when we smelled smoke,
Speaker 5: we were like, oh, they're just testing that seat.
Speaker 1: Nobody paid attention the fire alarms going off. It was God,
Speaker 1: that's right. I remember. It was like b and we're
Speaker 1: like rehearsing down the stage like that's somebody's gonna do
Speaker 1: with that, not paying attention. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: like I.
Speaker 2: Just Chris Jensen was like okay, everybody we're at like
Speaker 2: just cleared everyone out and we were like, oh wait,
Speaker 2: it's really on fire and yelling.
Speaker 6: At the sound guy, guys, we're going to turn that down.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 5: And Chris Jensen, who's just the most cool headed person,
Speaker 5: he's our first dad. Uh, he was just He's the
Speaker 5: person you want in an emergency because he did not panic.
Speaker 5: He was just like, okay, everyone, if I can have
Speaker 5: you exit this way, and you have to go out
Speaker 5: these elephant doors.
Speaker 2: Not those elephant doors right there. Something you want to
Speaker 2: be like your your flight attendant, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like if stuff goes to south, you want someone like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Really he's very good. He's great with you actors because
Speaker 6: you're very sensitive. Don't want to get the actors.
Speaker 2: No, no, we have to be invited to set. We
Speaker 2: can't be told that it's time to come down. We
Speaker 2: have to They have to invite us. You're being invited.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm not. An invitation implies that I could
Speaker 1: say no. Why do they say it like that? Is
Speaker 1: that because it's because actors are sensitive little creatures, so
Speaker 1: they have to we're not. Well, we're not.
Speaker 5: But I didn't know if they were just trying to
Speaker 5: keep us out of their hair while they set up
Speaker 5: the lighting and the thing and the thing and the thing,
Speaker 5: and so then they're like, oh, you're invited to set now,
Speaker 5: rather than saying get down here, Jody, Like, it's a
Speaker 5: nicer way of just being like you're invited to see.
Speaker 10: Well, it is.
Speaker 1: It's a nicer way.
Speaker 2: But I think it's also like I think there are
Speaker 2: probably those people that are like you can't tell me
Speaker 2: what to do, and so if you invite them, it
Speaker 2: gives it again. They they're like, I could say no,
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna say yes.
Speaker 1: And then that's I think that's it.
Speaker 2: I'm just going to start inviting my children to do
Speaker 2: You're invited to the dinner table.
Speaker 6: And they go, who whoa, whoa? You were not invited?
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I'm sorry you're you weren't on the list. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. What what did catch on fire?
Speaker 6: Though?
Speaker 4: The kitchen in there that has stolen everything and we have, yeah,
Speaker 4: got all that stuff, So I'm gonna.
Speaker 6: Assume it was something illegal. Let's just make it more excited.
Speaker 6: It was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was definitely something explosive. They got smart after
Speaker 1: a while and just took the fire alarms out. It
Speaker 1: was much easier.
Speaker 5: That Proper room, man, that like it is just such
Speaker 5: a it is such a cool and bizarre place, like wow,
Speaker 5: there's so much to look at.
Speaker 3: You don't know where to look like you're like, oh,
Speaker 3: I remember that.
Speaker 4: Place, proper room for actors and people just to meet
Speaker 4: outside craft service and like the corner where room was
Speaker 4: coming from here and there.
Speaker 6: It's a great little meeting spot too.
Speaker 1: Oh it was perfect, fantastic.
Speaker 5: Yeah, do you organize, like do you have an organizational
Speaker 5: system for your props in the prop room or.
Speaker 1: Do you just like kind of throw stuff from evolves? O?
Speaker 4: Well, like like I came in second like the last
Speaker 4: two years, right, so some other guy who's already there,
Speaker 4: certain things were already kind of where they had already
Speaker 4: thought about.
Speaker 1: Right, and then he lit things on fire and then
Speaker 1: that was that.
Speaker 6: After the fire. Yeah, right, yeah, there's a clean slight
Speaker 6: for me. I can do what I want. But no,
Speaker 6: it's it just kind of evolves as you use stuff
Speaker 6: and then you change.
Speaker 4: You figure out what shows use more of this, So
Speaker 4: you got more kitchen stuff here and mar shows and
Speaker 4: you know it was like how many mugs can you
Speaker 4: guys have?
Speaker 6: Not enough? Is what?
Speaker 2: I So many mugs, so many mugs. Yeah, I still
Speaker 2: have my mugs. I had my my s mug yeah

Speaker 6: sailor gut I did.
Speaker 2: I stole the sea pappy head the marriage right off,
Speaker 2: just right off his body.
Speaker 1: And then I got caught and they told me that
Speaker 1: I couldn't do that, and then I had to return
Speaker 1: it and wait.
Speaker 6: For it later. There was a lot of thievery at
Speaker 6: the end of the show.
Speaker 3: Oh Pape was wild people before Market.
Speaker 1: Free for All.

Speaker 2: business and stays in it for thirty years doing I mean,
Speaker 2: we're such an odd little crew of people and I
Speaker 2: love it and it's so wonderful. But like art department
Speaker 2: and props, I just always find to have a special
Speaker 2: place in my heart for being who like the most
Speaker 2: off the wall creative, Like I need to build something
Speaker 2: and it leads to look like this, and you're like.
Speaker 10: Okay, welcome to casual chaos, where I'm telling my story unfiltered, unedited,
Speaker 10: and unapologetic for a moment you didn't see on camera,
Speaker 10: to secrets nobody dared to spill. I'm bringing you behind
Speaker 10: the scenes like never before. I'm talking love life, because

Speaker 10: Plus I'll be sitting down with some of the biggest
Speaker 10: names in pop culture for casually chaotic conversations you won't
Speaker 10: hear anywhere else. So pour yourself and espresso martini and
Speaker 10: get ready because once you start listening, you'll be waking
Speaker 10: up in the morning thinking about so many things. Listen
Speaker 10: to Casual Chaos starting on March twenty fourth on the
Speaker 10: iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a weird it's a weird thing.
Speaker 4: It's a I mean I got into it because you know,
Speaker 4: I was gonna came into town from Cleveland, Ohio.
Speaker 6: It was gonna be a I was gonna write, you
Speaker 6: gonna do it, let's be a writer. I didn't know
Speaker 6: anybody or where to go, what to do.
Speaker 4: So you just kind of like meet people and they say, hey,
Speaker 4: work on this thing with me, and I'm like you
Speaker 4: start doing it, and you're going like, I'll.
Speaker 6: Breaking it this. I could do props, and so I
Speaker 6: fell into the prop thing and then once you get.
Speaker 4: Going, you're like going, like, wait, if I get in
Speaker 4: the union to get paid a lot of money, you
Speaker 4: could do that.
Speaker 6: And then you know it's just I think you there's
Speaker 6: a temperament. I mean, you could say it's a stereotype,
Speaker 6: but each department is a certain type of human.
Speaker 1: Right, absolutely, absolutely, And it.
Speaker 6: Seems pretty consistent. Showed a show.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you're like, like, I getting the props. You've
Speaker 4: got to have a good uh temperament to get along
Speaker 4: with people and to work very hard on something as
Speaker 4: quick as possible and make it look good for a
Speaker 4: very short amount of time, just long enough for it
Speaker 4: to be on camera and then be able to have
Speaker 4: someone go like that's the wrong size and I want
Speaker 4: it smaller and bigger and two mo those and four
Speaker 4: of those.
Speaker 6: You got to be not take it personally, throw your
Speaker 6: genius in the garbage.
Speaker 4: You can go make more genius and move just be
Speaker 4: able to move from thing to thing, to think to
Speaker 4: thing and not be invested.
Speaker 6: In any of the things.
Speaker 8: So people say like, wait, what's your favorite prop that
Speaker 8: you saved because you know you cherish it so much
Speaker 8: and blah blah blah, And I'll go like by the
Speaker 8: time that Steve was over, I hated all the pro.
Speaker 2: I never wanted to see him again, right, want to
Speaker 2: see him again.
Speaker 1: I just always remember the root.
Speaker 2: The one that always stands out for me is the
Speaker 2: Rube Goldberg machine that you had to build for.
Speaker 6: Elias ring a bell writer's name.
Speaker 1: Steve said. He was like Steve, he was like Jim,
Speaker 1: spend all weekend on that stupid thing. Can't even imagine? Yeah,
Speaker 1: can you be an engineer this weekend, just for a
Speaker 1: couple of days, right, I don't if.
Speaker 6: You remember the Okay go video?
Speaker 1: Yes, I love those videos. They're amazing, amazing, and so
Speaker 1: people go, you know, like that, but it's small, oh right,
Speaker 1: because that didn't take them months and months to figure out.
Speaker 4: But I researched that and it was they had four
Speaker 4: JPL engineers on it for three months. I'm like, guy,
Speaker 4: this is also Cameron's fault because that was her first
Speaker 4: directing job. That episode was I think.
Speaker 1: Oh okay.
Speaker 6: And so Steve and Brian, two showrunners, come to go
Speaker 6: we'll do this this.
Speaker 4: I go, that's great. We have a prop meeting, you know,
Speaker 4: we have a reproduction. I bring out props to show
Speaker 4: them to people and they go, yeah, it's some of those,
Speaker 4: some of that, and I go, okay, so well, I'll
Speaker 4: make this up and you know, we'll shoot the first
Speaker 4: half and it'll fall and then to cut away to
Speaker 4: a actor's response and they're like, oh, and then you
Speaker 4: set it up again and do it in pieces, right,
Speaker 4: so it didn't all have to go at the same time.
Speaker 6: That's magic. There's Cameron's first time.
Speaker 4: I think they could be better if she didn't have
Speaker 4: to try to figure out what shots sick thing.
Speaker 6: We just shoot in one gosh, but we don't have
Speaker 6: that's why we have four cameras.
Speaker 1: Jo editing right, do you love me?
Speaker 6: So?
Speaker 4: So it's not her fault obviously, but it was like
Speaker 4: their idea was like this and so oh, I know
Speaker 4: they've got another Bob Saggat story too. So we're doing
Speaker 4: it in rehearsal and it's not working and they're always stopping.
Speaker 4: There's a little mistake here and there, and I think
Speaker 4: we got it to go perfectly once.
Speaker 1: That sounds about right for one of them, which it
Speaker 1: was fine, but in.
Speaker 4: Between there I'm setting it up, I set up, and
Speaker 4: I run back and I'm like this, I can't remember,
Speaker 4: come on, come on, come on, come on, and I'm
Speaker 4: over here and there's a Bob and so I think
Speaker 4: it was with Lori. There were Yeah, they were standing
Speaker 4: off to the side kind of watching it. Amused like, no,
Speaker 4: this is right, and he turns to her and.
Speaker 6: Goes, well, the guy's funny, though, like wait, I'll take it.
Speaker 6: I'll take it now. He was just saying he's not
Speaker 6: could be able to do this, but at least it's funny,
Speaker 6: Like I'll take a funny from Bob Stagger any.
Speaker 1: Day, compliment. Yes, indeed, absolutely so.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that was the hell of a thing.
Speaker 5: Would you say that was your most difficult task while
Speaker 5: you were on Fuller House is the rope Goldberg?
Speaker 1: Yeah I would.
Speaker 6: Oh.
Speaker 4: And so I got a guy who helps me build stuff,
Speaker 4: Like you know, guy, he's a great artist, great sculptor,
Speaker 4: is great. So I'm like, okay, you got to come
Speaker 4: help me out with this thing, and he goes, he goes, okay, yeah, sure.
Speaker 4: We sit there at his house for two days like
Speaker 4: trying to build it. It's just not working.
Speaker 6: And I realized I'm like, oh no, he's an artist,
Speaker 6: he's a right brainer.
Speaker 1: I need it. You need an engineer, you need an engineer.
Speaker 2: Not right, He's going to make it look beautiful and
Speaker 2: really cool and do some cool stuff, but an engineer
Speaker 2: will actually make it work.
Speaker 6: So wasted two days, but you're right, he paid it
Speaker 6: It up.
Speaker 2: Looks great, yeah, yeah, gorgeous on the outside, but like
Speaker 2: the function reality of it probably not as much.
Speaker 6: Was a disaster.
Speaker 4: I mean it was fine, and then I watched the show.
Speaker 4: You watched the episode cut back and forth between everything.
Speaker 4: They never used that shot of.
Speaker 1: Course, of course, go figure. It's just it was just
Speaker 1: all that get you frustrated.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was it.
Speaker 6: They were all laughing behind my back.
Speaker 3: Well, we appreciated your genius and your hard work that.
Speaker 1: Week, so nobody else. We had gone down in legend
Speaker 1: that that and the signing.
Speaker 5: Of the props that I oh yes, we talked about
Speaker 5: that with with Steve.
Speaker 1: We told the story of Jody and the props.
Speaker 4: Came on, crushed every destroyed all the props. She wrote
Speaker 4: joy on everything.
Speaker 1: And then that was just amazing.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was like, I am so sorry, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 6: That was so bad.
Speaker 1: That would also be right, Yes, that was also legend.
Speaker 5: Yes, do you remember if you guys had to go
Speaker 5: out and just get all new props, or were you
Speaker 5: able to scrub the sharpie off of the football.
Speaker 1: The foam finger. I would imagine the foam finger is done.
Speaker 6: Luckily we had your props. You always have two or
Speaker 6: three or four whatever it is, because you never know
Speaker 6: if it's not. Most people don't intentionally right on your stuff.
Speaker 4: But a lot of times things will tear going through
Speaker 4: a win somebody if after drops something in a scene
Speaker 4: and you gotta reshoot.
Speaker 1: It, you have to have more, right.
Speaker 4: You almost always have a backups of at least a couple,
Speaker 4: not two or three or four, unless it's a very
Speaker 4: special thing.
Speaker 6: I didn't make a backup of the Goldberg machine, just
Speaker 6: two of those.
Speaker 2: In case going yeah yeah, here's another option, I.
Speaker 6: Just yeah, yeah, So here's always got back.
Speaker 7: You've always got double dribbles, they say the business if
Speaker 7: you if you have one, you have none, because you
Speaker 7: only have one, you might as well just not even
Speaker 7: have any, because but you get halfway through the shot,
Speaker 7: and then if you lose it or break it, you
Speaker 7: can't you ruined the whole thing.
Speaker 6: If you don't even have it. They're like, what happened
Speaker 6: to the If.
Speaker 1: You don't have it, you got to work around and
Speaker 1: create something else.
Speaker 2: If you do, they're like, oh yeah, no, do that
Speaker 2: and then it breaks and they're like, now everything is
Speaker 2: all continuity is wasted.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the beauty of the sitcom that we do.
Speaker 4: The state fun stuff like a full House or or
Speaker 4: you know, the fun sitcom stuff. They're fun to do.
Speaker 4: It's it's a little chilly. You can get away with,
Speaker 4: you know, doing something a little over the top. I think,
Speaker 4: I mean, speaking of over the top, Kimmy Gibbler pretty
Speaker 4: over there, I mean that.
Speaker 3: One and that character Kimmy Gibbler House. Yes, oh, the
Speaker 3: Gibbler House, the Gibbler House.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 6: And that's like what I when I came in.
Speaker 4: Like, there's two episodes, two seasons left that I come
Speaker 4: in for the last few seasons.
Speaker 6: So show up. I watch a couple I was in
Speaker 6: a full house person growing up. Sorry as watch either
Speaker 6: were we.
Speaker 2: That's why we're doing this podcast because we never watched
Speaker 2: the show.
Speaker 6: And so I watched a few and I go, okay,
Speaker 6: kind of you know, funny is quirky, give whatever?
Speaker 4: And uh so that I did not realize the vast
Speaker 4: trove of Kimmy Gibbler items.
Speaker 6: That I was gonna be ow upon me, and it
Speaker 6: was like, why is she do She's what am I?
Speaker 1: They go like all these things.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Kimmy Gibler walks in with a book. I go, okay,
Speaker 6: show no Kimmy Gibler book. So it's like a wild thing.
Speaker 3: Like well, I remember, I think Jody and I were
Speaker 3: giving you ideas too.
Speaker 1: We're like, we need an Ostrich or we need a
Speaker 1: picture of an Ostrich. Oh that's right for the Gibbler house. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you made or created or something a big portrait.
Speaker 3: Play a life sized portrait of an Ostrich.
Speaker 1: Yeah, on the wall. I mean, as you would memorialize
Speaker 1: a beloved pet. Yes, Gibler lore.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 4: Well that's the fun part is that when you're working,
Speaker 4: you know, you do the basic props of whatever you're doing,
Speaker 4: and then if you get fun people that have a
Speaker 4: fun idea, you want to.
Speaker 6: Do it for them. So when you guys come, you
Speaker 6: know what I mean. So yeah, it's extra.
Speaker 4: And it's like if you know, if Eliah came to
Speaker 4: me and said I want blah blah blah, go, I
Speaker 4: don't think so.
Speaker 1: You might break it.
Speaker 2: You're probably gonna break it, right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right,
Speaker 2: and that wraps up part one of our interview with
