Speaker 1: We are back with part two of our interview with
Speaker 1: our uncle Jay John Stamos. We share more behind the
Speaker 1: scenes moments and laughs of our favorite memories from Full House,
Speaker 1: some of which are mentioned in John's new memoir.
Speaker 2: If you would have told me, Let's.
Speaker 3: Roll Part two, I said, you know, I talked about
Speaker 3: in this chapter. I talked about that. I opened the
Speaker 3: chapter up with the donkey member there was a donkey.
Speaker 4: Oh what We've told many stories. I tell people about
Speaker 4: pepper Mill and it's crush on you as often as
Speaker 4: I can crush on Yes, I'm just saying, you have
Speaker 4: a you have a way with women and donkeys.
Speaker 3: I wrote it it towards end here. There's a time
Speaker 3: when we are pure just by being born. We are children.
Speaker 3: Then we blow it by growing up and we are donk.
Speaker 3: Eventually we learned that we have choices and find righteousness
Speaker 3: and choosing to be compassionate and caring. We are human.
Speaker 3: That's the thing about Full House that I finally got it.
Speaker 3: It was the children, the animals, even us bumbling grown
Speaker 3: men trying to navigate a world of innocence and chaos,
Speaker 3: remind people of the best of themselves. That's what I
Speaker 3: was thinking earlier, and it's the kind of hit that
Speaker 3: comes along if you're lucky once like all the stars
Speaker 3: lined up. Everything was serendipity and it just happened, and
Speaker 3: it was here's the thing too, it was everybody's family.
Speaker 3: And during the first season some guy came up to
Speaker 3: me and said, hey, man, you know, I really love
Speaker 3: your show. And I was like, really why. It's because
Speaker 3: I'm a single dad and I'm raising two kids. And
Speaker 3: they look at your show and they go, oh, wait,
Speaker 3: they're a family. Oh, we're a family too. And nobody
Speaker 3: even batter than I have about three men in San
Speaker 3: Francisco raising three girls. It was just right. That's how
Speaker 3: it was. What it was.
Speaker 2: That was just our family, you know.
Speaker 3: And it's for a mom and a dad and they
Speaker 3: are two point three children, it's their family. For a
Speaker 3: widow or who turns up the sound a little louder
Speaker 3: to stave off the silence of his loneliness, it's his family.
Speaker 3: The last key kid coming home to an empty house,
Speaker 3: it's her family, right, It's everybody's family. It turned out
Speaker 3: to be the most quintessential family show of the twentieth century,
Speaker 3: didn't it.
Speaker 5: It did, it really really did.
Speaker 1: And we heard this in Japan a lot too, when
Speaker 1: we did press for Fuller in Japan, that the Japanese
Speaker 1: related to it because it's a very multi generational show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's they you know, they live, they have the
Speaker 1: grandma's living in and the uncles and the grandkid. You know,
Speaker 1: everybody kind of lives together and helps out. It's a
Speaker 1: village and that's what fullhip.
Speaker 5: Do you remember them saying in Japan?
Speaker 4: Though, they were like, it's also it's such a It's
Speaker 4: like American families are so weird. You guys are doing
Speaker 4: crazy things. And I was like, I've seen your game shows.
Speaker 3: Okay, this is what I've learned about you guys here too,
Speaker 3: I said. The little kids that were supposed to be noise,
Speaker 3: no more important than the furniture, grew up to become
Speaker 3: the kind of humans I hope to have one day.
Speaker 3: Oh they're precious, delightful and bright. I step out of
Speaker 3: their light to let them shine. Candice Jody and Andrea Barber,
Speaker 3: who plays the hilarious Kimmy Gibler steal my heart. As
Speaker 3: I watched them mug for the camera and casually clown
Speaker 3: through their scenes. I realize that children have a wholesomeness
Speaker 3: that transcends all mediums. They are gutsy and guileless. No fear.
Speaker 3: I will privately practice countless takes to nail a single
Speaker 3: scene where I'm acting casual. These little ones will barely
Speaker 3: glance down at their script, and they capture the hearts
Speaker 3: of a nation with a wink, nod and folded arms.
Speaker 3: A stern rendering of a simple phrase can erupt a
Speaker 3: studio audience. How rude you guys just did it? You know,
Speaker 3: it was just so natural to you, and so you know,
Speaker 3: you made it look so effortless, which it was for you, guys.
Speaker 2: I think we were just kids being kids.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: There was some learning of lines, but as far as acting, no,
Speaker 1: those were genuine connections that we have with each other
Speaker 1: as kids and also with you guys.
Speaker 2: We were following your example, yeah, Bob, And was.
Speaker 4: Going to say, you guys, as the adults, I've always said,
Speaker 4: set such a huge and important example to us. Shocked
Speaker 4: as you might be by that, but even with with
Speaker 4: your humor, you know, and I mean I've always said
Speaker 4: I learned to laugh through tragedy from you guys. I
Speaker 4: learned to show up no matter what was going on
Speaker 4: in life because of you, guys, I show I watched
Speaker 4: you know, you be able to create a family and
Speaker 4: create people that you loved just as much as your
Speaker 4: own family. From you, guys, I learned professionalism. I learned
Speaker 4: from and you know it's weird, Well, that's why I'm
Speaker 4: such a That's why I'm so unprofessional now, as I
Speaker 4: learned it from you. But I know, I, you know,
Speaker 4: just so many things that and then when we came
Speaker 4: back as the adults on Fuller, it was I I
Speaker 4: it was so no evident how we got to then
Speaker 4: take that same ethos and that same love and leadership
Speaker 4: that you guys really gave us on the original show
Speaker 4: of being You know, you didn't you included us, You
Speaker 4: loved us. We weren't just you didn't walk off stage
Speaker 4: and ignore us. You guys loved us and paid attention
Speaker 4: to us, and we love It's gonna make me cry,
Speaker 4: It's gonna make me cry. But like that, really you
Speaker 4: have no idea what that meant to us at the time,
Speaker 4: to like to be included, Because so often in this
Speaker 4: business you see the young people and the kids that
Speaker 4: are working and working and then they just kind of
Speaker 4: get like they're just pushed to the side.
Speaker 5: And they're you know, dealing with all this stuff on
Speaker 5: their own.
Speaker 4: And you guys never did that with us. And as
Speaker 4: we got older, you brought us into the fold. As
Speaker 4: we got older, you were like, let's all go to
Speaker 4: a concert, or let's go you just you guys create
Speaker 4: aided this family. And then when we got the opportunity
Speaker 4: to come back and do it with fuller house and
Speaker 4: to be those same adults, we absolutely included those kids
Speaker 4: and would invite them over to our houses and would
Speaker 4: do things with them and take them out. And it
Speaker 4: was because you showed us that is how that's how
Speaker 4: you do it, that's how you create this family. And
Speaker 4: we got to do it with the next generation of
Speaker 4: kids in this sort of lineage, and like that was huge,
Speaker 4: you know you that was because of you guys.
Speaker 3: I also hope that we and I think we did
Speaker 3: like early on too. You know, we brought in all
Speaker 3: the kids, all the handicapped kids and kids there was
Speaker 3: you know on Thursdays when we'd pre tape the.
Speaker 5: Whole all the make a wish stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you guys have all carried that on. And
Speaker 3: that's important to think too.
Speaker 4: Well's I think it's such a gift that that I
Speaker 4: think we've all finally realized that we get to give that.
Speaker 4: It's not doesn't take anything away from us or our career.
Speaker 4: In fact, acted like we have this special ability to
Speaker 4: sort of meet people and it's their entire life and
Speaker 4: childhood and even if they if they have kids, it's
Speaker 4: their kid's.
Speaker 5: Childhood now, like it's just not a lot they get
Speaker 5: to do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, whatever, Yeah, it's pure. I'm really glad that you
Speaker 3: guys have carried that on.
Speaker 1: Oh well, we in a recent episode, Jody and I
Speaker 1: were talking about the the barbecues you would throw at
Speaker 1: your house before every season with with Bill, your dad
Speaker 1: on the on the on the grill, and your mom
Speaker 1: walking around with her white wine and her cigarette and
Speaker 1: you know, playing the hostess and Loretto. Yes, we loved
Speaker 1: those memories and just how you would include us. It
Speaker 1: wasn't like a big Hollywood party. It was just like, hey,
Speaker 1: bring your we're.
Speaker 5: Talking about what a normal? What a normal?
Speaker 4: Like as crazy as we all were or whatever, but
Speaker 4: like there was just this sense of normalcy and you like,
Speaker 4: your parents were around, your sisters were around, Bob's parents
Speaker 4: like everybody had their faces there and it was it was.
Speaker 5: Just like a normal as normal as it could be.
Speaker 4: But it was never like and we talked about the barbecues,
Speaker 4: how it was everybody brought food and it was kind
Speaker 4: of a you know, it was a like a very
Speaker 4: low key family thing. It wasn't some Hollywood party, you know.
Speaker 4: It was just everybody getting together for a barbecue. And
Speaker 4: like you were on the grill, your dad was on
Speaker 4: the grill, everybody's mom's brought food. It was lovely and
Speaker 4: that was so important and really absolutely I think changed
Speaker 4: our life in this business.

Speaker 4: you behind the drum set with your mom and dad

Speaker 1: But it meant a lot to Jody that you you
Speaker 1: showed up to her graduate high school situation.
Speaker 3: Well you guys were you know, we were, you were family.
Speaker 3: But even even more than family, I think you know,
Speaker 3: like we somehow we just we just all Getting back
Speaker 3: to the critics, like I went on seth Myers and
Speaker 3: read some of them for Fuller House, like one one
Speaker 3: Jack assaid he compared to a necrophilia. I'm like, come on,
Speaker 3: and and I don't know if you guys knew this,
Speaker 3: but full House that they said one guy said, wouldn't
Speaker 3: last tell Thanksgiving. He didn't say which Thanksgiving, which for
Speaker 3: a long time, but you know it was they didn't
Speaker 3: do the critics that hey, the show. They didn't hurt me.
Speaker 3: They weren't. I knew. I knew the show was corny
Speaker 3: and cliche and you know, and fallus at times. But
Speaker 3: it was also That's why I said, like those scenes
Speaker 3: that that were not sophisticated, it yield it yields to sweetness, right,
Speaker 3: and you know it.
Speaker 1: When the show wasn't made for those critics it was
Speaker 1: made for the families at home when that.
Speaker 3: If you didn't get it themselves for you, The show
Speaker 3: each year has become even more so, like a warm
Speaker 3: comfort food of decency in a cold world of discord
Speaker 3: and division. And as the world gets darker and you know,
Speaker 3: more and kids like I don't know, you guys have
Speaker 3: teenage daughters and sons, but like, I don't know, how
Speaker 3: do they filter this? Because it's all bad news no
Speaker 3: matter where, everywhere, it's all bad news, and it's got
Speaker 3: to be depressing. It's got to be anxiety uh inducing?
Speaker 3: What how do you what do you do for that?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 3: How do you you keep your kids off?
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean I think it's trying to like, yeah,
Speaker 4: watch Full House more, No, I you know, it's I mean,
Speaker 4: it's funny. I think actually like sometimes the lessons that
Speaker 4: I now realize, like in full or Fuller House, that
Speaker 4: have come back as far as like sitting and talking
Speaker 4: to your kid and you know, I'm like, oh no,
Speaker 4: I'm having a Full House moment.
Speaker 5: Minus the violence.
Speaker 4: But it is hard, and I think it's just but
Speaker 4: it is it's about again about like showing up and
Speaker 4: like no matter what, and that was something that Full
Speaker 4: House was really big about, was like show the family
Speaker 4: showed up for each other no matter what. And that's
Speaker 4: just something I've always tried to tell my kids, like,
Speaker 4: no matter what, I'm here, there's nothing you can say,
Speaker 4: trust me. There's nothing you're going to say that's gonna
Speaker 4: shock me. You know, I'm gonna be like, oh my god,
Speaker 4: I've never heard of that. Trust me, you know. And
Speaker 4: and that open, honest connection and relationship is that's you know,
Speaker 4: I think that's the most important thing.
Speaker 3: You guys answered me this, like, because Caitlin and I
Speaker 3: have If I'm with Billy and I turn on Full
Speaker 3: House and he watches it for three hours and I
Speaker 3: go do other things, that's like spending time with my kid,
Speaker 3: isn't it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, You're you're in the room, basically, you're in right.
Speaker 3: It's well, Jesse's better than me telling him, you know what's.
Speaker 5: Uncle Jesse in the beginning was a little harsh, just
Speaker 5: gonna say in.
Speaker 2: The pilot, called Jess shut up like you were Jesse.
Speaker 4: We always the baby was we've all had kids, now
Speaker 4: we all know that that's actually very common.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and you know the other thing, Yeah, that
Speaker 3: that you know, I got a lot flat from it.
Speaker 3: You fired the old Dare Hill.
Speaker 4: But it's funny to watch you who became so like
Speaker 4: this baby whisper that we always joked about, Like in
Speaker 4: the beginning, we really did see.
Speaker 5: I was like, god, this the character evolution.
Speaker 4: Of Jesse and of and of John that we got
Speaker 4: to watch sort of through this of going from this
Speaker 4: like you know, tough guy whatever that really didn't know
Speaker 4: what to do with babies, and then like you just
Speaker 4: found this sweetness and watching the episodes sort of in
Speaker 4: such close you know, connection to each other, like you
Speaker 4: really see it, and it's like you see the babies
Speaker 4: starting to respond to you and to us and to
Speaker 4: like you watch these relationships really starting to grow, and.
Speaker 5: It's so cute.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, I mean I think deep downside, I always
Speaker 3: loved kids, but it was hard. I mean, the pilot,
Speaker 3: you know, we had to do. Look those kids in
Speaker 3: the beginning, they wanted to be anywhere else, but you know,
Speaker 3: on that stage, and I don't blame them. We're Dave
Speaker 3: and I are taking one of them, you know down
Speaker 3: the stairs, right Fanny and squirting water at her butt
Speaker 3: and everything, like I'm putting too. But you know, I
Speaker 3: was trying to do jokes that you know, I was like,
Speaker 3: and it was so funny because I'll never forget. It
Speaker 3: was like those kids had it out for me because
Speaker 3: and Dave too, but not you remember that scene is
Speaker 3: like we would come down. We would we were wrapping
Speaker 3: her up of stuff and we were doing David and
Speaker 3: I were doing really funny jokes and and was like
Speaker 3: a screaming. I was like, and she would stop and
Speaker 3: then you would have your line, well how do you
Speaker 3: roast the turkey? The audience would go crazy go to
Speaker 3: our lines that were funny lines too. You know, we
Speaker 3: had to loop half of that stuff. So there was
Speaker 3: a moment. It was only like a couple hours, but
Speaker 3: I said, Jeff, with these babies don't want to be here.
Speaker 3: Let's do you have any other babies? And they had
Speaker 3: some other kids that were redheaded and you know, not
Speaker 3: the most attractive child children. And I wasn't attractive either, so.
Speaker 5: I was gonna say from one ugly baby to exactly,
Speaker 5: but they.
Speaker 3: Didn't have it. I said, all right, get the Olsen's back,
Speaker 3: and they were you know, Jeff didn't get rid of them,
Speaker 3: but it was like, how could you fire the Olsen twins,
Speaker 3: shut up.
Speaker 4: I have a question, how and Andrey and I since
Speaker 4: we've been watching the show, I've been wondering this, how
Speaker 4: much of Jesse was your input and how much of
Speaker 4: Jesse was Jeff's input? Like was it you know, because
Speaker 4: I know like a lot there's a lot of Jeff
Speaker 4: in Jesse as well, But like I just wonder, sometimes
Speaker 4: were there moments where you wanted more or less of
Speaker 4: something or were you really had an idea and like
Speaker 4: it was sort of in opposition to Jeff, Or did
Speaker 4: Jeff just sort of go whatever you want to do,
Speaker 4: just go for it.
Speaker 3: No, we were always sort of on the same page.
Speaker 3: He was the Elvis fan, you know, more so than me.
Speaker 3: I mean, I got I like, I love Elvis, but
Speaker 3: we were both we both were you know, the character.
Speaker 3: My character was named Adam, which is not a funny
Speaker 3: name or a good name, and I and I and
Speaker 3: I said let's change it to Jesse. Jesse was Elvis's
Speaker 3: twin brother who died at birth. So he went along
Speaker 3: with that. So and and the second season, my dad
Speaker 3: was like, who's this cochrane character? Where's that name from?
Speaker 3: I don't know, Dad, where's the Greek representation. So I
Speaker 3: asked Jeff, I go, my dad's gonna give me up
Speaker 3: for adoption. Could we make Jesse Greek so they can't.
Speaker 3: They came up with Katzopolis, which is half Jewish half Grikats,
Speaker 3: and then my dad was cool with that. The there
Speaker 3: was a I turned down the movie Lebomba. Do you
Speaker 3: remember that movie that Richie? Yeah, and I thought even
Speaker 3: back then, I just thought it wasn't appropriate me, you know,
Speaker 3: playing a Mexican character, and my dad was so mad
Speaker 3: as like insorb of the Greek Anthony Quinn. You know,
Speaker 3: Anthony Quinn is a Mexican playing a Greek. A Greek
Speaker 3: could play a Mexican. Yea, our dad's We were cool
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 4: Your dad was your dad was a character. I remember
Speaker 4: visiting you at Duke's. Yeah, I remember, yeah, because we
Speaker 4: grew up. You know, you grew up in Cyprus. I
Speaker 4: lived in Cypress when we first started doing the show,
Speaker 4: so yeah, we grew up in the same kind of neighborhood.
Speaker 5: But I remember going and visiting there.
Speaker 3: You know, you look at your parents and you get
Speaker 3: older and you go like, eh, they're just human. My
Speaker 3: dad was always uh a superhero to me. He was
Speaker 3: always bigger than life. And I you know, I just
Speaker 3: so grateful to have had him as a dad. And
Speaker 3: my mom too. And you guys, I mean your parents.
Speaker 3: Every single every single night you'd look up in the stands,
Speaker 3: it would be my mom, my dad. You know, he
Speaker 3: didn't love the show. He would come once in a while, whatever,
Speaker 3: but he was proud of it. But he was what
Speaker 3: are you doing on that show?
Speaker 5: We certainly didn't come to those concrane episodes, that's for sure.
Speaker 3: No, he didn't like to. But you but your parents
Speaker 3: and my and my mom every single Friday Thursday, right,
Speaker 3: they were up in the stands a whole night clapping
Speaker 3: and oh yeah, and even like it was so crazy
Speaker 3: during Fuller House because I'd look because your parents look
Speaker 3: the sound like you have these flashbacks like what's.
Speaker 1: In the same seats, in the same bleachers on the
Speaker 1: same stage twenty four?
Speaker 5: Oh, I know a question I've been dying to ask you, John.
Speaker 3: Oh no, I gotta go, thank you. No, no, no, no.
Speaker 4: It's no you'll love it. You'll love it, I promise.
Speaker 4: What the hell is the deal with the cold fried chicken?
Speaker 4: And why did you always have it? Why did you
Speaker 4: start with cold fried chicken. There's a scene you walk
Speaker 4: in the front door with an eaten leg of cold
Speaker 4: fried chicken for no real particular reason, and I just
Speaker 4: it's it's a through line that you always had throughout
Speaker 4: the show, and I just wonder if there's some what
Speaker 4: why the hell did you pick cold fried chicken?
Speaker 5: I have it.
Speaker 3: I don't know, Okay, I thought I thought it was
Speaker 3: good that. I was like, it's gonna be like, well
Speaker 3: it was a yeah, yeah, Colonel Sanders, my uncle.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 3: I thought I just was. I just liked doing action.
Speaker 3: I like having stuff to do. It was like I
Speaker 3: was eating chicken, and then we just I think it
Speaker 3: just became a thing.
Speaker 4: Right, cold cold chicken, okay, because it's I mean even
Speaker 4: in Fuller was like we would have cold fried chicken.
Speaker 3: That was just the thing.
Speaker 5: It became Jesse's things.
Speaker 4: There was always like a leg of cold I mean,
Speaker 4: it's it's a funny. It's a funny bit. It's funny
Speaker 4: business having a cold a chicken leg. You know, I
Speaker 4: get it.
Speaker 1: We also noticed that Jesse wears the colored teal you
Speaker 1: wear like the teal shirt and the black vest. A
Speaker 1: lot of other like turquoise so yeah, turquoise teal? Was
Speaker 1: that like your request with costumes, You're like, hey, I
Speaker 1: gotta wear teal in black every episode.
Speaker 2: I don't know, or that was a costumer decision. You
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't, I don't, I don't remember, but I do.
Speaker 3: I do look back and go, what the f was
Speaker 3: I was I thinking? And you know, you guys, I'm
Speaker 3: sure you guys go like, I don't want the hair.
Speaker 3: You know, we have these mullets and these mullets.
Speaker 5: Your hair was just a win. It was, I mean,
Speaker 5: and it wasn't, but it was. It was it, you
Speaker 5: know what I mean? Like I keep looking.
Speaker 4: I have spent several times when we've been watching episodes
Speaker 4: just looking at your hair, just like is it does it.

Speaker 1: Day would come up with a new like a new
Speaker 1: button for each one.
Speaker 4: There's a new outrageous, nonsensical non sequitur at the end
Speaker 4: of everything. It was just to like get all that
Speaker 4: like pre show energy to kind of hype yourself up.
Speaker 5: Just screen in a circle. And we did it with
Speaker 5: Fuller House too, But.
Speaker 4: It was like one of the things, one of those
Speaker 4: traditions that I really really really looked forward to.
Speaker 3: Was that, yeah, it was great, we have so much
Speaker 3: more to talk about. Can I do the part two
Speaker 3: or this thing? Sometimes because.
Speaker 5: But yeah, volunteered yourself.
Speaker 3: I'm in Do you remember the last time you guys
Speaker 3: saw Bob. And we get in on that because I do.
Speaker 1: It was about six months before he passed, and we
Speaker 1: were having dinner at Jeff's place. It was Jeff was
Speaker 1: renting a place in Hollywood because he was trying to
Speaker 1: sell the Big House, and so yeah, it was Bob
Speaker 1: and Kelly and me and Candice and Joe. Were you there, Jodie,
Speaker 1: Yeah you were there. Yeah, Yeah, Laurie was there. We
Speaker 1: were just sitting around, sitting around the pool, eating dinner
Speaker 1: and just chatting. And yeah, that was the last time
Speaker 1: I saw him. I mean, I talked to him several
Speaker 1: times after that, but that was the last time.
Speaker 2: I SA I feel like.
Speaker 4: I'd seen him since then, either at maybe the score,
Speaker 4: maybe his Sclorioderma events, maybe because I feel like that
Speaker 4: was usually a little bit later in the year.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I.
Speaker 3: We went to dinner a couple of weeks before and
Speaker 3: it was me, Bob, Kelly, and and Uh and Caitlin
Speaker 3: and and I just like you, you know, you when
Speaker 3: it's the last time, you never think it's gonna be
Speaker 3: the last time you see somebody, and then you go
Speaker 3: over it in your mind, like what did we eat
Speaker 3: did we or do we? How long did we stay?
Speaker 3: What did we talking about? But I do remember Bob
Speaker 3: was everything I wanted Bob to be, and you guys
Speaker 3: would have agreed with me. He was calm and he
Speaker 3: was It was so strange. I remember clocking like, I
Speaker 3: love this Bob. You know, he was asking questions and
Speaker 3: he was listening, and the two of us sat back
Speaker 3: and go, look at us schmucks, like how lucky are
Speaker 3: we to finally, you know, be with these two beautiful
Speaker 3: women inside mostly and out I can and we were
Speaker 3: just like we couldn't believe it, and it was just
Speaker 3: that night and and he was, It's just so calm,
Speaker 3: and we took our time and you know, of course
Speaker 3: we present exactly and that's the hardest thing to be,
Speaker 3: but it was. It was that. And I guess I
Speaker 3: grew a little bit too, because it didn't drive me
Speaker 3: crazy that he was. You know. I used to take
Speaker 3: pictures like up here, down here, over here, like my.
Speaker 5: Fat fifteen minutes of myself minutes and.
Speaker 3: I just laughed at it. And we have that picture
Speaker 3: and I put it in my book, and you know,
Speaker 3: it's just you You just try to remember that final
Speaker 3: time and it becomes sort of mythical and magical, and
Speaker 3: you know every details of a holy relic or of
Speaker 3: some sort, you know, and and you try to think like, well,
Speaker 3: what did we eat? And I say, now after that,
Speaker 3: I say, if you get a chance to sit a
Speaker 3: spell with someone that you love, don't get up too quickly,
Speaker 3: stay a while, linger, indulge, savor, order the cake. And
Speaker 3: that's hard Bop. Yeah, yeah, if we don't talk about him,
Speaker 3: he'll get pissed.
Speaker 5: So it's true. I try, and I mention them all
Speaker 5: the time.
Speaker 4: The other night we were at we did we did
Speaker 4: a live show and there was of a large faux
Speaker 4: plant behind us with a large that was coming out
Speaker 4: of a large urn.
Speaker 5: And I picked it up and I said, oh, look
Speaker 5: it's Bob.
Speaker 4: And Andrews like what, And I said, he would be
Speaker 4: mad if I didn't make the joke we would have made.
Speaker 5: Bob would have.
Speaker 4: Made that joke, picked up a thing and been like,
Speaker 4: look it's Dolly or something like. So I picked it
Speaker 4: up and I held it in a picture.
Speaker 5: It was ridiculous.
Speaker 4: And that's I like, I have those moments of irreverency
Speaker 4: and silliness and laughter and uh yeah, it just reminds
Speaker 4: me of him so much that there was that one
Speaker 4: little button in a scene recently that we watched, and
Speaker 4: it's me and the three guys and I'm standing on
Speaker 4: the couch and I like, bring them all in, and
Speaker 4: I go, it's just it's just me and the guys
Speaker 4: or something like that, and it was just this sweet moment,
