0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 2>and catch up and talk about Full House and make

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 2>fun of ourselves as teenagers and little kids.

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 3>We get to be we get to be the podcast guys.

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 4>It's iconic. Full House is forever Franklin very well known.

0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 3>Truly, Oh yeah, truly.

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 2>So we would do a live show, a live audience show,

0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:05.440
<v Speaker 2>every Friday night and with two hundred and fifty strangers, fans,

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 2>et cetera.

0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:08.080
<v Speaker 1>And so you were the guy that was.

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:14.960
<v Speaker 2>In charge of keeping everyone awake for all those hours, warming.

0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.000
<v Speaker 5>Them up before we even start the show to make

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:16.520
<v Speaker 5>sure they're like ready to laugh.

0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 3>Right, that's like the big hype guy.

0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:22.839
<v Speaker 4>That's a misconception. If you do that, you start off

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 4>here and there's no place to go but here.

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's true.

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 4>You've got to modulate and say how long is this

0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:32.799
<v Speaker 4>show going to be? Oh, Michelle has a has three

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.719

<v Speaker 5>Right?

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 4>And I had to figure that in. So if I started, oh,

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:44.920
<v Speaker 4>this is funny, always funny, and then three hours later

0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.839
<v Speaker 4>he's not only not funny, I hate him.

0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 5>He's keeping Yeah, that's not talking at me, and you

0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:55.800
<v Speaker 5>want yeah, well, it's part of the game because they

0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:57.279
<v Speaker 5>don't know they're going to be there.

0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:58.480
<v Speaker 4>For three to five hours.

0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:00.080
<v Speaker 3>True, right, they get.

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 4>Tickets, Oh, we've got full house tickets. It's thirty five minutes.

0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 4>It's thirty minutes when we're watch it on TV. So

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:12.480
<v Speaker 4>if they make a mistake or tube yeah yeah, right,

0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:17.880
<v Speaker 4>the reservations for seven you may want to bring a sandwich.

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, yeah.

0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:20.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 2>We had to start feeding them because their blood, their

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 2>blood sugar would be as feed You.

0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:30.320
<v Speaker 4>And Friends, which was just down the street from you guys.

0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.920
<v Speaker 4>That took eight hours. Yeah, with the audience with the.

0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:38.599
<v Speaker 5>Audience audiences halfway through. Sometimes you know, they kept the

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:40.479
<v Speaker 5>same one, yeah.

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:43.560
<v Speaker 4>At the beginning for the first two years, because the

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:48.800
<v Speaker 4>producers of that show did a showtime show called dream

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:53.160
<v Speaker 4>On right, which was no audience and it was a hit,

0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.520
<v Speaker 4>so they thought this is how you do it.

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 5>You can't sitcom like a single camp.

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Right, God, no eight hours and they don't even have

0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:04.080
<v Speaker 2>kids or dogs on that show.

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.720
<v Speaker 3>That makes us look really super.

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.800
<v Speaker 5>Yah don't Yeah, they say, don't work with dogs or

0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 5>kids or apparently on a taping of.

0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:18.720
<v Speaker 4>Friends, Yeah, it was funny and then you guys know this,

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:26.479
<v Speaker 4>but I'm Friends. After the first scene, right, it is

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.479
<v Speaker 4>over here and in front of the audience, they were

0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:33.280
<v Speaker 4>believe they're making stuff up, and you and I know

0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:37.240
<v Speaker 4>that what they're saying is, what's that joke we had

0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:40.479
<v Speaker 4>on Monday that we threw away? Right, right, So I'm

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:46.799
<v Speaker 4>making up that they're reconstituting, yeah, right right the scene

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:47.520
<v Speaker 4>what joke works?

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.880
<v Speaker 1>Got to joke work, and sometimes you got to change.

0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 4>The house was an unusual warm up because of the

0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:57.480
<v Speaker 4>amount of kids in the audience, so I had to modulate,

0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 4>but I did, and and Garrett toward a younger audience,

0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:08.440
<v Speaker 4>So no swearing, no family friendly, right.

0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:10.360
<v Speaker 5>I think didn't we had a did we have an

0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:13.880
<v Speaker 5>age limit on kids? It was like ten or twelve

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:15.960
<v Speaker 5>or something because they had to sit there for a while,

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 5>I think.

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:17.320
<v Speaker 4>In less weeks old.

0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:18.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was like twelve.

0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:22.160
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, wow, But yeah we had I mean, our

0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 5>audience has definitely had a lot of kids and a

0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.880
<v Speaker 5>lot of families, So I'm yeah, I'm sure you it's

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:29.280
<v Speaker 5>you got to sort of get rid of a few

0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 5>jokes here and there.

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 4>Oh got you totally.

0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean, Reggie was it was.

0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:38.240
<v Speaker 5>That was full house, the first like family show you'd

0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 5>ever done.

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:42.280
<v Speaker 4>Warm up for No, most of the shows family shows

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.400
<v Speaker 4>because because if you recall after ninety five and when

0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:50.720
<v Speaker 4>you guys were off the air is when the not

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:54.080

0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 4>stuff and the swearing came in.

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 5>I read more of the sort of premiere television, like

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 5>more adult skewing.

0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.680

<v Speaker 3>Well, that's true, I guess. Yeah.

0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 5>Sitcoms are kind of one of the only things that

0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 5>shoots in front of a live audience, and they tend

0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:14.040
<v Speaker 5>to be relatively well.

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:18.160

0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:06.360
<v Speaker 2>He yeah, he's told the story about how all the

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.280
<v Speaker 2>showrunner got fired and suddenly he's in charge.

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Is this the show?

0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:10.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:13.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, any Marshall's everybody in the ring room and

0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.560
<v Speaker 5>Jeff was like the guy that got kept.

0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah he was. He was nineteen years old. I think

0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:27.720
<v Speaker 4>he's really young. And Gary Marshall hired him. And just

0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:32.439
<v Speaker 4>because Penny and Cindy had a habit of firing all

0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:34.319
<v Speaker 4>the writers occasionally, just.

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's a dang And they were just.

0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 4>Next next and Lion obviously changed his life.

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Yeah, that would be terrifying to just think that

0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.199
<v Speaker 2>your job is on the line all the time and.

0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:52.119

<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:19.439
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, the landscape is so different now. I mean, I'm

0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm in Rhode Island, so retired years ago because because

0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:28.680
<v Speaker 4>the warm up guys that I know are not getting

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.440
<v Speaker 4>the same money is not enough, not enough.

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:34.120
<v Speaker 5>Shows there's it's not there's not a ton of live

0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:37.280
<v Speaker 5>audience shows anymore in sitcoms and things. So yeah, it

0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:40.480
<v Speaker 5>makes it definitely makes it hard. And yeah, full house. God,

0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:44.760
<v Speaker 5>we were talking about it, I think at the convention

0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:49.560
<v Speaker 5>we were at Still City about how much we enjoyed

0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:54.240
<v Speaker 5>kind of being a part of like late eighties, early

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:58.880
<v Speaker 5>nineties big network TV when it was a thing, you know,

0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.520
<v Speaker 5>when it was they get all the shows together and

0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.800
<v Speaker 5>you do some big ABC promo and you know those

0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.240
<v Speaker 5>kinds of things that like you just don't really don't

0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:09.720
<v Speaker 5>really do now it's not as central, you know.

0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:13.280
<v Speaker 4>No, it was a different landscape then, and it was great.

0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:18.120
<v Speaker 4>It was the Golden Age. Yeah. And and the shows

0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:21.840
<v Speaker 4>I did, we're all, like I said, family friendly. Growing

0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:26.320
<v Speaker 4>Pains is the one that that really is the bulk

0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:27.560
<v Speaker 4>of what I did.

0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:31.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Yeah, was that your first job as a warm

0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:31.800
<v Speaker 2>up guy?

0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:33.160
<v Speaker 3>No, Growing Pains.

0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:37.120
<v Speaker 4>I do a show now, I do a show presentations

0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:42.960
<v Speaker 4>where I give my my background. And I was playing

0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:49.080
<v Speaker 4>paddle Tenants, which is a precursor to uh, pickleball. Okay.

0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:51.360
<v Speaker 5>I was going to say, like this feels like in

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:52.640
<v Speaker 5>the vein of pickleball.

0:11:53.320 --> 0:12:00.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. So one day I got yeah, and then next

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.840
<v Speaker 4>day I was on la Vernon Shirley. Your whole life

0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:05.560
<v Speaker 4>takes that that change.

0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 3>Wow?

0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:08.520
<v Speaker 5>I mean, did you always want to be like a

0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:11.199
<v Speaker 5>comedian in comedy? Did you want to be a writer

0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 5>or was it kind of that was just sort of

0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:15.439
<v Speaker 5>what you fell into or.

0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:21.160
<v Speaker 4>Fell into a great phrase for that, because I was

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:24.880
<v Speaker 4>a tour guide in La Okay, going up and going

0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:28.200
<v Speaker 4>up and down the coast of California with a group

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:32.320
<v Speaker 4>of ninety people, and I was on the mic, So

0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:36.320
<v Speaker 4>that gave me the wherewithal to be on a mic right.

0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:39.280
<v Speaker 5>And to be on a mic showers at a time,

0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.120
<v Speaker 5>you know, and I have to keep the same group

0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.320
<v Speaker 5>of people interested two.

0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:46.079
<v Speaker 4>Weeks, oh with the same audience.

0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh oh, two weeks with the same audience. Oh wow,

0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:49.920
<v Speaker 3>yeah that's a lot.

0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:54.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, not an audience, but right, two bus loads of

0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:58.800
<v Speaker 4>New Yorkers who wanted to see La for hundred bucks.

0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Right, yeah, that's so.

0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Was this was this like the first Hollywood tours where

0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:08.040
<v Speaker 2>they go buy all the celebrities homes, the TMZ tour

0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:08.920
<v Speaker 2>or was it more.

0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:11.319
<v Speaker 1>Of like, hey, here's the landscape of California.

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:14.480
<v Speaker 4>Both, because when we were in LA, we would do

0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:18.240
<v Speaker 4>the Beverly Hills tour. I could say this now they're

0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:22.600
<v Speaker 4>probably dead. The people I would make up houses of course.

0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:25.520
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, Andrea Baba from Full House lives in that

0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:29.959

<v Speaker 5>you on. You're like me wrong.

0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Is a great training ground to be a warm like

0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:04.320
<v Speaker 2>I can't think of a more perfect training ground to

0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:05.200
<v Speaker 2>be a warm up guy.

0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:08.080
<v Speaker 4>Do you believe that it led right into it. I'm

0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:11.600
<v Speaker 4>on the mic for two weeks at a time, and

0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:12.560
<v Speaker 4>so three.

0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:14.200
<v Speaker 3>Hours I could do that easy.

0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Easy.

0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.320
<v Speaker 2>What was the hardest part about being a warm up guy?

0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:28.520
<v Speaker 2>Was it like our three? Was it the beginning when

0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:30.680
<v Speaker 2>you're like sustling out the audience and getting a feel

0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:31.040
<v Speaker 2>for them.

0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:32.840
<v Speaker 1>What's like the hardest part about it?

0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:35.800
<v Speaker 4>Follow out real quick that you don't start up on

0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:39.640
<v Speaker 4>that high, so you you become their friend. Because if

0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:43.520
<v Speaker 4>they don't like you me in the first five minutes,

0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:46.040
<v Speaker 4>they're not going to like me. After five hours, they're

0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.400
<v Speaker 4>going to hate me. I mean, even if they love

0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.160
<v Speaker 4>me at the beginning, they dislike me.

0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:54.560
<v Speaker 5>I mean, it's true. I love my family and after

0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:55.840
<v Speaker 5>five hours I sort.

0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:57.320
<v Speaker 3>Of feel enough.

0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Were some of the tricks you is? Like, did you

0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:03.320
<v Speaker 1>play games with the audience? Did you do trivia?

0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:04.000
<v Speaker 3>What?

0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:05.280
<v Speaker 1>What did you do to keep them awake?

0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:10.600
<v Speaker 4>No? Trivia, I tried. I never saw another warm up

0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:15.400
<v Speaker 4>guy work because what I was doing worked and did

0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:18.240
<v Speaker 4>a lot of the music. I made my own music.

0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:21.680
<v Speaker 4>I had a disc jockey who would be in tune

0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:25.000
<v Speaker 4>with me and the stuff that I did, and a

0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:28.440
<v Speaker 4>lot of dancing. Those little girls loved to come up

0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:28.920
<v Speaker 4>and dance.

0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:29.400
<v Speaker 3>Yep.

0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:33.080
<v Speaker 4>And then you guys were great. You'd come out and

0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:37.560
<v Speaker 4>talk to the audience. Friends. Eight hours in, not one

0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:39.720
<v Speaker 4>of them came out and said thank you for coming,

0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:44.480
<v Speaker 4>or any questions. It was inconceivable. But that was from

0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:47.840
<v Speaker 4>day one because I did the pilot, and even at

0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.720
<v Speaker 4>the pilot, they were that's going to be good. Yeah.

0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:56.080
<v Speaker 5>Oh I remember Bob Saggett would get the mic and

0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:58.160
<v Speaker 5>then we were like, Bob, we've got all we got

0:16:58.160 --> 0:16:58.360
<v Speaker 5>to go.

0:16:58.840 --> 0:16:59.240
<v Speaker 3>I got it.

0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:01.280
<v Speaker 5>And he's like, well anyway, and like running with the

0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:03.560
<v Speaker 5>microphone away from Keith Richmond art stagement.

0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:08.439
<v Speaker 4>Yep, yeah, that was that was his. Uh, he was

0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:09.760
<v Speaker 4>a warm up for a while.

0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:13.080
<v Speaker 3>That's right, that's right. He missed it.

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:16.360
<v Speaker 5>I mean but anytime there was a microphone within arms distance.

0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:18.480
<v Speaker 3>Of box flights, he would get on the intercom.

0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:19.679
<v Speaker 4>It's funny, didn't.

0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:25.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah yeah, yeah, it was so good, so glib, so

0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:29.960
<v Speaker 5>so great. Yeah, now did you it's like for doing

0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.359
<v Speaker 5>warm up stuff, is there like do you have like

0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:34.840
<v Speaker 5>a warm up agent or is it just that you know,

0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:38.080
<v Speaker 5>writers and producers and people kind of connect that way.

0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:41.520
<v Speaker 4>I was really lucky in that I hit. But I

0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:46.040
<v Speaker 4>think they say the golden age of television was normal layer,

0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:49.600
<v Speaker 4>but I think it was at our time, and luckily

0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:53.159
<v Speaker 4>I had a good reputation so they would call me.

0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:57.400
<v Speaker 4>So there was no agent. I would negotiate the terms.

0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Great, represent yourself, you know, no commit involved, just just do.

0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:02.960
<v Speaker 3>It all on your own.

0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:07.199
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. And like I said earlier, the guys I know

0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.000
<v Speaker 4>that are still doing in that having a rough time.

0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:16.679
<v Speaker 3>I bet are and Fuller Ron that's right.

0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:18.160
<v Speaker 4>Do you know him Ron Pearson?

0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:19.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:21.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, no, but I know the name. Like I said,

0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:22.879
<v Speaker 4>I never saw these guys.

0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:26.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Ron does. Yeah, he was. He did all kinds

0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:27.400
<v Speaker 3>of tricks. He was great.

0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.719
<v Speaker 5>The audience always really loved him. He was super funny.

0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:34.240
<v Speaker 5>And I just remember the trick he did was the

0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:38.040
<v Speaker 5>latter that that terrified me. Every time he did that,

0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:39.440
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, what if it falls?

0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:40.960
<v Speaker 3>Like every time?

0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:44.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I have a had of time with the chainsaw

0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:49.840
<v Speaker 4>apple and ping pong bowl hugglers and they would take

0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:52.359
<v Speaker 4>a bite of the apple and still keep juggling. He

0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:53.959
<v Speaker 4>just Galley did that.

0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:55.320
<v Speaker 3>That's yes. Yeah.

0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:58.520
<v Speaker 4>Do you remember the shows I worked on a show

0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:01.439
<v Speaker 4>called Good Time Girls? Uh huh, where he was on it.

0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:04.760
<v Speaker 4>I did a few Boos and Buddies, but mostly New Heart.

0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:08.880
<v Speaker 5>Okay, yeah, I remember watching New Heart with my mom.

0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:11.040
<v Speaker 2>And I'm assuming each show had its own feel Like

0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:13.520
<v Speaker 2>you mentioned, Full House had a lot of kids in

0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:17.960
<v Speaker 2>the audience, so each show would have its own demographic represented.

0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Was it easier with kids?

0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:24.040
<v Speaker 3>Many of you said that something harder with kids and audience.

0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:30.040
<v Speaker 4>There was no subtlety, There was no you couldn't be zeck.

0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:33.359
<v Speaker 4>They don't get that yet. It was a base level.

0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:36.719
<v Speaker 4>But you said, what audience is are different? Made your

0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:42.720
<v Speaker 4>dad remember that? Yeah, they had every audience bust in

0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:48.640
<v Speaker 4>from from camps. So there were soldiers and little by

0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:53.359
<v Speaker 4>little he thought he was a soldier. Gerald mclaney, he

0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:58.119
<v Speaker 4>come on as men and not kidding, so you know,

0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:01.880
<v Speaker 4>but by the second he was a colonel.

0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:05.719
<v Speaker 2>I guess, just really just leaning right out to the

0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:06.520
<v Speaker 2>to the theme.

0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:09.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's amazing.

0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:14.159
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, what was that like? Was that a good Were

0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:16.480
<v Speaker 5>they a good audience? Were they like happy to laugh

0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:17.360
<v Speaker 5>and be yeah.

0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:19.880
<v Speaker 4>Very straight, but they weren't very joy.

0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:22.840
<v Speaker 5>Lastured they sat up very straight and we're incredibly attentive.

0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I know sitcoms get a bad rap about

0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:28.119
<v Speaker 2>having canned laughter, and I'm like, but it's not canned,

0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:30.159
<v Speaker 2>it's real, and you you order.

0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:31.000
<v Speaker 1>The audience to do that.

0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:33.760
<v Speaker 2>You're just like, make sure you have the same enthusiasm

0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:34.440
<v Speaker 2>every teak.

0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:40.960
<v Speaker 4>It's funny you mentioned that last night. I had dinner

0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:44.119
<v Speaker 4>with with this girl and I don't watch those shows

0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:47.360
<v Speaker 4>because I hate canned laugh. Echo, It's not canned, it's

0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:53.560
<v Speaker 4>it's real. It's sweetened, right, yeah, but.

0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:58.960
<v Speaker 5>Sweet sweetened sweetening is what they do to sound for

0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:01.560
<v Speaker 5>shows and movies and stuff for those rights.

0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:02.760
<v Speaker 3>Are like, what are you talking about?

0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:03.560
<v Speaker 4>Uh?

0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:05.440
<v Speaker 5>And they it just like they fill it out a

0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:07.600
<v Speaker 5>little bit more so. It's like, you know, a laugh

0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:09.119
<v Speaker 5>is kind of has some little gaps on.

0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:09.840
<v Speaker 3>It or whatever.

0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:13.560
<v Speaker 5>They'll just fill in those holes so that it sounds

0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:16.880
<v Speaker 5>more consistent. But yeah, they know the laughs are real.

0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:20.040
<v Speaker 5>The laughs are real, they just sound a little prettier.

0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:23.800
<v Speaker 4>My My whole thing was, Okay, we're going to do

0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:29.119
<v Speaker 4>this again. It's it's a very similar similar joke. It

0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:32.560
<v Speaker 4>was exactly. It was at similar right, And we need

0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:36.679
<v Speaker 4>to you to remember where you laughed and how you

0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:39.360
<v Speaker 4>laugh so we can match it up, which is stupid.

0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:43.720
<v Speaker 4>How you laugh that.

0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:46.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you have a weird, awkward laugh. Continue doing that.

0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:49.639
<v Speaker 2>My mother's laugh in the audience because she had a

0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:52.680
<v Speaker 2>very loud and distinctive laugh, and so it would throw

0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:53.920
<v Speaker 2>me during the tape beans.

0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Because I was like, oh, mom's laughing again.

0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:59.240
<v Speaker 4>One thing I was going to say, I wrote it down.

0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:06.320
<v Speaker 4>Full House is if not one one of three shows

0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:09.560
<v Speaker 4>that I worked on hundreds of shows. I mean there

0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:15.160
<v Speaker 4>were hundreds of shows, thousands of times, and uh, full

0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:20.840
<v Speaker 4>House this day is one of the few casts to

0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:25.919
<v Speaker 4>stick together, which makes my heart failed good because you know,

0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:29.439
<v Speaker 4>you go, oh, uncle Jesse, and oh that's sehn Stanwillson.

0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:32.719
<v Speaker 4>He's having dinner with somebody. You guys start together to

0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:37.760
<v Speaker 4>this day, which is unusual because usually a sitcom gets

0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:42.840
<v Speaker 4>together that one to five years and then great and

0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:47.000
<v Speaker 4>then maybe they make one friend. But Full House, to

0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:50.400
<v Speaker 4>your credit, yeah, was incredible.

0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:54.639
<v Speaker 5>We really stayed connected. And I will say a big

0:22:54.720 --> 0:22:56.520
<v Speaker 5>piece of that was Saggot.

0:22:57.080 --> 0:22:58.000
<v Speaker 3>Bob was.

0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:02.359
<v Speaker 5>Really and John two would plan dinners and stuff, but

0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:07.119
<v Speaker 5>Bob was kind of the nucleus, the lynchpin, and you know,

0:23:07.400 --> 0:23:11.240
<v Speaker 5>and Jeff too, you know, always having parties and stuff

0:23:11.240 --> 0:23:16.000
<v Speaker 5>in his house. But yeah, it really like it's crazy.

0:23:16.040 --> 0:23:19.960
<v Speaker 5>I mean how close everybody is, you know, and we

0:23:20.000 --> 0:23:22.360
<v Speaker 5>talk about it all the time on the show, but everybody,

0:23:22.600 --> 0:23:23.680
<v Speaker 5>every guest that comes on.

0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:27.240
<v Speaker 3>Right, You guys are a family like family.

0:23:27.720 --> 0:23:31.360
<v Speaker 4>It's a real family and new Heart as close as

0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:34.119
<v Speaker 4>they were, and I love them, I love doing the

0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:38.080
<v Speaker 4>show as close as they were on set and maybe

0:23:38.080 --> 0:23:41.640
<v Speaker 4>a little bit after they would all go their separate ways.

0:23:42.000 --> 0:23:44.119
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, because, yeah, we haven't been able to get rid

0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:47.280
<v Speaker 5>of each other for nearly forty damn years.

0:23:47.359 --> 0:23:48.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, really.

0:23:50.520 --> 0:23:51.600
<v Speaker 3>Almost forty years.

0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:55.600
<v Speaker 2>If you've been a family like wild because I don't

0:23:55.640 --> 0:23:56.680
<v Speaker 2>feel forty years old.

0:23:56.720 --> 0:23:57.800
<v Speaker 3>So how have you been?

0:23:58.080 --> 0:24:05.760
<v Speaker 4>Friend? Every day? I feel I'm dying, Yeah, I'm dying. Yeah.

0:24:06.000 --> 0:24:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Tell us what was it like in the writer's room?

0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:10.080
<v Speaker 3>You wrote?

0:24:10.119 --> 0:24:14.040
<v Speaker 2>You wrote an episode of season one the Big Three. Oh,

0:24:14.320 --> 0:24:17.240
<v Speaker 2>that's right when Danner turned thirty.

0:24:17.080 --> 0:24:17.960
<v Speaker 4>Years life too.

0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:21.800
<v Speaker 3>It was thirty yeah, yeah, yeah, a baby.

0:24:22.960 --> 0:24:29.280
<v Speaker 4>The uh. The writer's room was intimidating because you have

0:24:29.400 --> 0:24:33.119
<v Speaker 4>to get your idea in there. I had a very

0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:37.280
<v Speaker 4>bad experience on my first job on Lavernon Shirley. One

0:24:37.280 --> 0:24:39.960
<v Speaker 4>of the producers thought I was funny, so he hired me.

0:24:40.840 --> 0:24:44.720
<v Speaker 4>The rest of the writers were upset because well, this

0:24:44.800 --> 0:24:47.960
<v Speaker 4>guy didn't pay his dues, mister funny man. So it

0:24:48.080 --> 0:24:51.280
<v Speaker 4>was and there were twenty writers in the room at

0:24:51.359 --> 0:24:57.879
<v Speaker 4>laverneon Shirley. It was so intimidating. Oh, Mark's friend, where's

0:24:57.920 --> 0:25:01.160
<v Speaker 4>your joke today? I mean really means yeah. And then

0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:04.880
<v Speaker 4>one day one of the other producers, who was banging

0:25:05.040 --> 0:25:08.000
<v Speaker 4>heads with Mark because they want each one of the

0:25:08.080 --> 0:25:11.360
<v Speaker 4>big exec producer came in with a bunch of T

0:25:11.440 --> 0:25:16.520
<v Speaker 4>shirts for me that read I'll be funny soon.

0:25:23.720 --> 0:25:29.879
<v Speaker 3>It's like a basically, it made you earn your strength.

0:25:30.640 --> 0:25:31.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:25:31.480 --> 0:25:32.040
<v Speaker 3>No, I've heard.

0:25:32.119 --> 0:25:35.639
<v Speaker 5>I've heard that writer's rooms can be really intimidating and brutal.

0:25:35.680 --> 0:25:37.439
<v Speaker 5>I mean, and maybe you were in one, but of

0:25:37.440 --> 0:25:40.520
<v Speaker 5>course you were among they were friends, and you were

0:25:40.600 --> 0:25:41.800
<v Speaker 5>it was you know, fuller house.

0:25:41.840 --> 0:25:44.360
<v Speaker 3>They weren't going to be like, you'll be funny soon.

0:25:44.560 --> 0:25:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Right right, Yeah, they were on their best.

0:25:47.760 --> 0:25:48.200
<v Speaker 3>No, I've heard.

0:25:48.240 --> 0:25:50.480
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I've heard it's really intimidating. You know, you've

0:25:50.480 --> 0:25:53.080
<v Speaker 5>got to be willing to throw your joke out there

0:25:53.160 --> 0:25:56.959
<v Speaker 5>and talk over other people and let it, you know,

0:25:57.840 --> 0:26:01.320
<v Speaker 5>land hopefully, and if it doesn't, you're like, all right, hell,

0:26:01.359 --> 0:26:04.560
<v Speaker 5>I'll be gonna go person.

0:26:05.200 --> 0:26:07.680
<v Speaker 4>To be honest, even though it makes the show better

0:26:07.720 --> 0:26:12.240
<v Speaker 4>to be funny. Other writers are so competitive that if

0:26:12.280 --> 0:26:15.120
<v Speaker 4>you fail, they go up and.

0:26:14.800 --> 0:26:17.680
<v Speaker 5>Go, yeah it's that's yeah. It's kind of a dog

0:26:17.720 --> 0:26:21.080
<v Speaker 5>eat dog, you know, bully people.

0:26:21.240 --> 0:26:21.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's rough.

0:26:22.119 --> 0:26:22.439
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:26:23.520 --> 0:26:25.199
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know if I could do it, Like

0:26:25.240 --> 0:26:27.720
<v Speaker 2>I just being in the same room with the same

0:26:27.760 --> 0:26:28.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty people for.

0:26:28.880 --> 0:26:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Hours and hours and hours.

0:26:31.320 --> 0:26:33.920
<v Speaker 2>That would drive me nuts, Like, especially if you clash

0:26:33.960 --> 0:26:35.120
<v Speaker 2>with some of the personality.

0:26:35.280 --> 0:26:36.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't wait that.

0:26:37.440 --> 0:26:42.480
<v Speaker 4>The worst thing the Yin and the Yang was after

0:26:42.560 --> 0:26:45.720
<v Speaker 4>a run through, you go back to the office and

0:26:45.760 --> 0:26:49.000
<v Speaker 4>they pass out menus. The good part is you can

0:26:49.200 --> 0:26:52.720
<v Speaker 4>order anything off the menu. The bad part is if

0:26:52.720 --> 0:26:57.840
<v Speaker 4>it's a menu that means we're stay late, right exactly.

0:26:58.320 --> 0:27:00.719
<v Speaker 3>This is a snap prepared to eat your dinner. You're

0:27:01.000 --> 0:27:01.720
<v Speaker 3>here a while.

0:27:04.280 --> 0:27:07.560
<v Speaker 4>At two am. Yeah.

0:27:07.680 --> 0:27:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's that's brutal. It's a brutal scale.

0:27:11.320 --> 0:27:13.200
<v Speaker 4>I don't know how you guys. I'm not going to

0:27:13.280 --> 0:27:19.639
<v Speaker 4>mention any shows, but the landscape of Citcum is so bad.

0:27:20.119 --> 0:27:22.160
<v Speaker 4>I look at it and I get angry. But that's

0:27:22.240 --> 0:27:28.000
<v Speaker 4>lazy writing, that's lazy acting. All the whole bowl of

0:27:28.000 --> 0:27:30.960
<v Speaker 4>wax is like them trying to save money for sure.

0:27:31.160 --> 0:27:34.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah that's that's I mean, you and I could talk

0:27:34.840 --> 0:27:37.879
<v Speaker 5>for hours about that, but yeah, it is.

0:27:37.920 --> 0:27:38.919
<v Speaker 3>It's a very different.

0:27:39.119 --> 0:27:43.359
<v Speaker 5>You know, they keep saying like sitcoms are dying and no,

0:27:43.560 --> 0:27:47.760
<v Speaker 5>but people love them, that people really enjoy watching sitcoms,

0:27:47.920 --> 0:27:52.359
<v Speaker 5>And I think they have been dying because nobody wants

0:27:52.400 --> 0:27:55.399
<v Speaker 5>to write, like you said, right, good ones or funny

0:27:55.400 --> 0:27:58.960
<v Speaker 5>ones or you know, and they're cheap to make.

0:27:59.040 --> 0:28:01.640
<v Speaker 3>If we're trying to save money, sitcoms are.

0:28:01.520 --> 0:28:05.160
<v Speaker 5>A lot less expensive than a single cam and locations

0:28:05.200 --> 0:28:07.480
<v Speaker 5>and you know, shooting on a stage.

<v Speaker 4>Crips in the Bloods. They invited half Crips and half Bloods.

0:29:22.960 --> 0:29:25.280
<v Speaker 4>I go, you know what, I don't think I'm right

0:29:25.320 --> 0:29:27.520
<v Speaker 4>for this audience. There was an urban audience. You know,

0:29:27.600 --> 0:29:30.200
<v Speaker 4>it was all black. And because I'm a little white guy,

0:29:30.200 --> 0:29:33.040
<v Speaker 4>what am I going to do? Listen, it's going to

0:29:33.120 --> 0:29:37.360
<v Speaker 4>be five to ten minutes before Michael comes out. Because

0:29:37.400 --> 0:29:39.720
<v Speaker 4>at at one o'clock you go on at ten to one,

0:29:40.680 --> 0:29:44.640
<v Speaker 4>get the wild up and it'll be great. So okay,

0:29:45.120 --> 0:29:48.560
<v Speaker 4>ten to one, So I did. They were going nuts

0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:53.760
<v Speaker 4>to crib music and giving away stuff. Cut to ten

0:29:53.800 --> 0:29:58.160
<v Speaker 4>minutes before and he still hadn't been He's still in

0:29:58.200 --> 0:29:58.800
<v Speaker 4>his trailer.

0:30:00.120 --> 0:30:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Wow, So was making everybody wait.

0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:10.360
<v Speaker 4>I had given out money from my walletparation right. The

0:30:10.440 --> 0:30:15.240
<v Speaker 4>other one. Yeah, in thirty seven years, there was fired

0:30:15.360 --> 0:30:20.280
<v Speaker 4>one time and it was on home improvement. And if

0:30:20.640 --> 0:30:23.640
<v Speaker 4>I couldn't do my job, if I was doing it wrong,

0:30:24.640 --> 0:30:27.240
<v Speaker 4>I would have had a career instead. I had a

0:30:27.360 --> 0:30:31.160
<v Speaker 4>very long career, so I knew how to do. And

0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:35.040
<v Speaker 4>the job was not to be funnier than the show,

0:30:35.480 --> 0:30:39.720
<v Speaker 4>that that that's crazy, and that to be so morose

0:30:39.800 --> 0:30:42.480
<v Speaker 4>that they're going to fall asleep. So I kind of

0:30:42.520 --> 0:30:47.640
<v Speaker 4>had it. So I hit most of the time, you know,

0:30:47.920 --> 0:30:50.960
<v Speaker 4>I was. I was good. Oh yeah, a few times

0:30:51.720 --> 0:30:56.440
<v Speaker 4>I was awful, because it's just whatever the circumstances.

0:30:56.640 --> 0:30:58.600
<v Speaker 5>Sometimes you get a vibe of an audience and you're

0:30:58.680 --> 0:31:01.880
<v Speaker 5>just like, oh, okay, you do this tonight, you just

0:31:01.960 --> 0:31:02.840
<v Speaker 5>have off day.

0:31:02.960 --> 0:31:06.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And a lot of times I was really good.

0:31:06.640 --> 0:31:09.880
<v Speaker 4>This one night on Home Improvement, I was really good.

0:31:10.360 --> 0:31:15.520
<v Speaker 4>The audience was hyped up, the show was good. I

0:31:15.720 --> 0:31:21.160
<v Speaker 4>was good. Everything matched because when when they'll cut and

0:31:21.240 --> 0:31:23.760
<v Speaker 4>you guys had to go ahead touch your makeup on

0:31:24.000 --> 0:31:28.280
<v Speaker 4>or do a clothes change. Tim Allen was in the

0:31:28.320 --> 0:31:33.479
<v Speaker 4>makeup room and he heard me getting huge laughs. And

0:31:33.520 --> 0:31:36.720
<v Speaker 4>I wasn't afraid of being funny than the show. My

0:31:36.880 --> 0:31:40.160
<v Speaker 4>job was to integrate both the show and the warm up,

0:31:40.240 --> 0:31:44.280
<v Speaker 4>so it was seamless. But he told the makeup girly coone,

0:31:45.200 --> 0:31:48.120
<v Speaker 4>the warm up guy trying is act. He came out,

0:31:48.760 --> 0:31:51.240
<v Speaker 4>as you know, I faced the audience and the set

0:31:51.360 --> 0:31:55.760
<v Speaker 4>is to my back, and I hear hey, which is

0:31:56.200 --> 0:31:59.520
<v Speaker 4>hey is a funny word. It could be construed and

0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:05.640
<v Speaker 4>a lot of different ways, like hey, how you doing Hey, Hey, Hey,

0:32:06.040 --> 0:32:10.000
<v Speaker 4>Hey wants to get your attention. Hey. The third one

0:32:10.040 --> 0:32:13.280
<v Speaker 4>that he used was hey, which I knew was bad.

0:32:13.320 --> 0:32:17.960
<v Speaker 4>It was him, So turn around, hey, Tim Allen right here.

0:32:18.520 --> 0:32:22.480
<v Speaker 4>You know there's a show going on down here too.

0:32:23.160 --> 0:32:27.280
<v Speaker 4>Oh sorry, Tim, Well, he was just jealous that I

0:32:27.400 --> 0:32:31.320
<v Speaker 4>was getting laughs from the audience. Meanwhile I was doing

0:32:31.400 --> 0:32:35.520
<v Speaker 4>okay because they were loving the show and loving yeah,

0:32:35.680 --> 0:32:44.280
<v Speaker 4>So that was right. Luckily, most went well.

0:32:42.120 --> 0:32:46.160
<v Speaker 5>It's yeahs are also an interesting breath, like I want

0:32:46.160 --> 0:32:47.959
<v Speaker 5>you to be funny, but not funnier than me, like

0:32:48.560 --> 0:32:50.760
<v Speaker 5>a delicate mountains.

0:32:50.920 --> 0:32:54.160
<v Speaker 4>And I don't consider myself a comedian. Had a tough

0:32:54.200 --> 0:32:59.560
<v Speaker 4>time doing warm ups because they would do their act,

0:32:59.760 --> 0:33:03.880
<v Speaker 4>which was twenty five to fifty minutes, and then still

0:33:03.960 --> 0:33:08.640
<v Speaker 4>have three hours waiting. Right. I didn't have any materials,

0:33:08.680 --> 0:33:10.640
<v Speaker 4>so it didn't bother me. It was just schmoozz.

0:33:11.320 --> 0:33:12.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you did such a great job at that.

0:33:12.960 --> 0:33:16.760
<v Speaker 5>I remember, I do remember like you letting us sing.

0:33:17.080 --> 0:33:18.240
<v Speaker 3>I remember singing.

0:33:17.960 --> 0:33:20.120
<v Speaker 5>You like you were talking about with the music and stuff,

0:33:20.120 --> 0:33:21.760
<v Speaker 5>and you would hand us the microphones and we would

0:33:21.760 --> 0:33:22.240
<v Speaker 5>get to sing.

0:33:22.680 --> 0:33:24.440
<v Speaker 3>I feel like I remember.

0:33:25.960 --> 0:33:29.040
<v Speaker 5>Singing sitting on the dock of the bay or something

0:33:29.120 --> 0:33:31.720
<v Speaker 5>like that as a kid, and.

0:33:31.600 --> 0:33:32.560

<v Speaker 4>It was fun.

0:33:46.800 --> 0:33:49.280
<v Speaker 2>I was always too shy to take the microphone, which is,

0:33:49.360 --> 0:33:52.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, me the introvert. But I need I need

0:33:52.120 --> 0:33:54.360
<v Speaker 2>writers to write me jokes because I'm like, I would

0:33:54.360 --> 0:33:56.959
<v Speaker 2>get so nervous. So I always admired what you did

0:33:57.000 --> 0:33:58.160

<v Speaker 4>go dark and then one by one each castman but

0:34:17.760 --> 0:34:21.000
<v Speaker 4>came out and did a thing. Lenny and Squeaky played

0:34:21.080 --> 0:34:25.720
<v Speaker 4>music in a song. Phil Forster would tell jokes. John

0:34:26.080 --> 0:34:30.120

<v Speaker 1>It's not changed.

0:41:01.840 --> 0:41:06.680
<v Speaker 5>Fascinating though, like sort of the the art quote unquote

0:41:06.680 --> 0:41:09.040
<v Speaker 5>of warm well, no, not quote unquote, but the art

0:41:09.080 --> 0:41:09.839
<v Speaker 5>of warm up.

0:41:10.040 --> 0:41:11.239
<v Speaker 3>That it's art of warm up.

0:41:11.560 --> 0:41:15.040
<v Speaker 5>So I kind of assumed that it would be more

0:41:15.160 --> 0:41:18.319
<v Speaker 5>like stand up that if you you know, but but no,

0:41:18.480 --> 0:41:21.680
<v Speaker 5>you got it's you have to be require strategy.

0:41:21.760 --> 0:41:25.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's you need to strategize the night. You need

0:41:25.760 --> 0:41:28.439
<v Speaker 2>to think ahead five hours like okay and.

0:41:28.160 --> 0:41:29.560
<v Speaker 3>Be like what do I do? How do I keep

0:41:29.560 --> 0:41:30.640
<v Speaker 3>them going? How do Yeah?

0:41:30.640 --> 0:41:34.319
<v Speaker 5>No, that was that's really impressive because I mean, if

0:41:34.360 --> 0:41:36.759
<v Speaker 5>anyone thinks about standing up in front of a group

0:41:36.800 --> 0:41:40.600
<v Speaker 5>of people and holding their attention and keeping them excited.

0:41:41.520 --> 0:41:44.840
<v Speaker 5>It is not an easy task, particularly when they're just

0:41:44.880 --> 0:41:48.000
<v Speaker 5>sitting there for hours, you know. But but you can't

0:41:48.040 --> 0:41:51.560
<v Speaker 5>get the shows a medium about that?

0:41:52.480 --> 0:41:55.520
<v Speaker 2>What a balance like that is a hard balance, funny

0:41:55.600 --> 0:41:56.120
<v Speaker 2>enough to keep.

0:41:56.440 --> 0:41:58.759
<v Speaker 3>But not funny enough to press off and start the show.

0:41:59.800 --> 0:42:00.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:42:00.080 --> 0:42:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well that's a hard job. I couldn't do it.

0:42:03.239 --> 0:42:05.799
<v Speaker 3>That would be really really hard, really hard.

0:42:06.160 --> 0:42:07.640
