Speaker 1: Hey there, faner Ritos, Welcome to part two of our
Speaker 1: interview with Dennis Rinzler. We had so much fun catching
Speaker 1: up with Dennis and learning all about his time in
Speaker 1: the industry as a writer and producer, so we can't
Speaker 1: wait for you to hear the rest of our conversation
Speaker 1: in part two. Let's get into it. There's the common
Speaker 1: saying in Hollywood, you know, never work with actors, or
Speaker 1: never work with kids or animals.
Speaker 2: No, I think that actually is the saying never work
Speaker 2: with actors. I think that's what I just don't.
Speaker 1: Never work with child actors or animals. But you and
Speaker 1: Mark were drawn towards working with child with child actors,
Speaker 1: and you just gave us the nicest compliment a few
Speaker 1: minutes ago about how you know we were great on
Speaker 1: set and nail and the jokes. So it sounds like
Speaker 1: you preferred working with child actors, maybe more than adult actors.
Speaker 3: The kids were great, and they're also open to a
Speaker 3: little collaboration. You could say to a young person, let's
Speaker 3: try this, maybe this will be funny.
Speaker 4: Sometimes you say that to an experienced actor and they say,
Speaker 4: I don't tell me how to what's funny. I'll tell
Speaker 4: you but you know that kind of thing.
Speaker 3: We always found the children to be more open to
Speaker 3: try different things and this ego.
Speaker 4: The egos.
Speaker 5: Yet it's a great point.
Speaker 4: You didn't have that on.
Speaker 3: Fullows you already well you were brought up in a
Speaker 3: in a nurturing environment of creativity. So when you directed Andrea,
Speaker 3: did you give people suggestions to try things a different way?
Speaker 1: Yeah? That was Jody directed.
Speaker 5: I directed. I'll be honest, I didn't know.
Speaker 2: I didn't have to, Like, I implicitly trusted that everyone
Speaker 2: would bring it to life exactly how I sort of
Speaker 2: envisioned it in my head. And I think also directing
Speaker 2: people that you know or that you know you've been like,
Speaker 2: it gives you sort of that confidence where you're like,
Speaker 2: I don't even have to I know, I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: have to give notes on the scene because they're gonna
Speaker 2: nail it. And absolutely, but yeah, it was you know,
Speaker 2: it was very It was interesting being on the other
Speaker 2: side because I felt like immediately when I went behind
Speaker 2: the director podium, everyone became their characters.
Speaker 5: And then as soon as I was like.
Speaker 2: In the scene, then everyone I was like, oh, you know,
Speaker 2: just everyone's name, I don't know.
Speaker 5: It was it was weird, but yeah, I loved it.
Speaker 4: Your acting background.
Speaker 3: You know, the best directors you know, you work with
Speaker 3: Rich Correll, Yes, and.
Speaker 4: He was on you know, Leaf at the Beaver.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he knows exactly how you're thinking and how
Speaker 3: you're feeling, and he's sure the same way, like these
Speaker 3: are just actors. These are not you know, I mean,
Speaker 3: these are characters. They're not just people act as they could.
Speaker 3: And it's a great way to see it. The acting
Speaker 3: background really helps.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I always felt bad for the guest directors on Fuller
Speaker 1: House who would come in kind of meeting us for
Speaker 1: the first time, because it's like, well, we've been doing
Speaker 1: It's different on Fuller because we were we've been doing
Speaker 1: these characters for over thirty years, so it's like right
Speaker 1: for new directors to give us a note. It'd be like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, actually, we kind of know our characters better
Speaker 1: than anybody right on the set. So it is a
Speaker 1: little bit different directing a show that's been so established
Speaker 1: for so many decades versus a show that's just beginning.
Speaker 3: But even even a new show you are trying, you know,
Speaker 3: in a movie, the director it's his or her vision
Speaker 3: of what this is going to look like sound like
Speaker 3: the pacing all that, and you start a new show,
Speaker 3: it's usually a writer who was running the show a vision,
Speaker 3: and even if you only did five or six episodes,
Speaker 3: a director can't come in with a whole new style
Speaker 3: and change everything. Say wait a minute, that's not what
Speaker 3: we're trying to do now. Of course, with full house,
Speaker 3: with the centuries of experience behind it, you know.
Speaker 4: You know so well that this is wrong, and you
Speaker 4: have to tell them.
Speaker 5: Nicely, you know, right right, I guess wouldn't happen.
Speaker 1: So you and Mark were showrunners a full House in
Speaker 1: season seven and eight? Is that correct?
Speaker 4: Six seven and eight, six.
Speaker 1: Seven and eight. Okay, what was the most challenging thing
Speaker 1: about show running versus just being a writer?
Speaker 3: Well, show running was shockingly complicated and wonderfully complicated. But
Speaker 3: luckily we learned how to run a show on a
Speaker 3: show that was already running.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we kind of just you.
Speaker 3: Know, fit right in. We knew what to do, but
Speaker 3: we had to make decisions. The first decision we made
Speaker 3: was a disaster. Oh, we said, okay, all these We
Speaker 3: had six seasons where we had twins playing one role,
Speaker 3: which is so important because young kids need downtime, so
Speaker 3: one works for forty minutes and the other one rest
Speaker 3: and the other one.
Speaker 4: We said, how about triplets. That's going to make it
Speaker 4: really easy. We got to get triplets. So we bring
Speaker 4: in some triplets and we meet these kids and they're great,
Speaker 4: and we go, Okay, let's do it, and they're going
Speaker 4: to be Jesse and Aunt Becky's.
Speaker 5: Kids playing Alyx.
Speaker 4: We're going to play two kids.
Speaker 1: That's what it was, right, Yeah, I think it was
Speaker 1: the renter Is.
Speaker 4: But the ones we picked.
Speaker 3: When we invited John Stamos and Laurie to meet them.
Speaker 4: They were like, oh, we don't like these kids. Oh.
Speaker 4: We said, oh, we should have included them in the decision,
Speaker 4: and they said, they don't look like us. It's not right.
Speaker 4: So the family already sold their house moved out to
Speaker 4: Los Angeles, and we had to tell them, oh, you know,
Speaker 4: we're we're going in a different direction. And that was
Speaker 4: our first decision that show runners, So we said, oh, we're.
Speaker 2: It seems to be the theme for for our shows
Speaker 2: is starting off with like one cast member. There's like, no, no,
Speaker 2: not that one, and we switch them out. So we
Speaker 2: just like to keep with tradition.
Speaker 4: Yes, that's true.
Speaker 3: But we loved we loved running the show and uh,
Speaker 3: you know, we loved as you said, when you directed Jody,
Speaker 3: just making decisions all day.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what's KIMMI gonna wear?
Speaker 3: Who were not casting was great and there was some
Speaker 3: interesting things were casting. If you remember, at one point,
Speaker 3: I don't know if we were running the show. At
Speaker 3: this point, ABC came to us and said, Stephanie doesn't
Speaker 3: have a best friend.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, kill.
Speaker 3: Me and DJ and and Michelle had Harry and Taj
Speaker 3: Morie and Jimmy and we're Stephanie's friend. So we went
Speaker 3: around auditioning girls and we found a really nice girl.
Speaker 4: I think her name was Molly Morgan.
Speaker 3: Yes, Mo, Yeah, she's going to be Stephanie's best friend.
Speaker 3: She's great and you read together and she seemed really nice.
Speaker 3: This is going to be great, and we said, this
Speaker 3: is the episode where Stephanie gets involved with someone who's
Speaker 3: smoking and they're pushing her to smoke, and Gia comes in,
Speaker 3: Mala Sokkerloff. We said, oh, she's tough, she's going to
Speaker 3: be fun for this episode. And we shoot the episode
Speaker 3: and she's given you a hard time and she's.
Speaker 4: Tough, and when we look at it, we go, you
Speaker 4: know something. The scenes with Jody and Mala have so
Speaker 4: much energy and conflict, and you know you're like worried
Speaker 4: for Stephanie. This is this is more exciting. Right, it's
Speaker 4: a nice.
Speaker 3: Best friend sitting around, you know, talking about clothes, right,
Speaker 3: bringing Gia back and sadly.
Speaker 4: We we moved. I think Nicky was going to be
Speaker 4: her character's name.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mickey, she was in she was in the smoking
Speaker 2: episode and yeah, and.
Speaker 5: She's a part of.
Speaker 2: A stunt family, the amazing Morgan's or whatever. And I
Speaker 2: drive by and see Renfair posters here in La and
Speaker 2: it's Mollie.
Speaker 5: It's her younger sister that's on.
Speaker 2: The that's on the posters.
Speaker 3: But you and Mala had a great relationship. It was
Speaker 3: just so much fun.
Speaker 5: We still do to talked to her.
Speaker 4: Yesterday I heard podcast with you guys. It was really good.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, it's so great.
Speaker 1: She's so people still ask her about the cigarettes all
Speaker 1: the time and right, it's famous.
Speaker 2: Just keep a pack on her, like yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh that's so great. I remember you and Mark is
Speaker 1: just the most nurturing showrunners, Like we've been so lucky
Speaker 1: between you and Jeff, just to be like you get it,
Speaker 1: like you get the DNA of the show. The heart
Speaker 1: of the show for sure, nurturing, making sure the kids
Speaker 1: are taken care of. Like it was always about the family.
Speaker 1: It was a family. It was we were a family,
Speaker 1: and you took care of the people before the production
Speaker 1: and I always appreciated that so much.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that was you know, we were elementary school teachers.
Speaker 4: We love kids, We knew kids.
Speaker 3: We loved you guys, and you know we we did
Speaker 3: We had adventures with your guys San Francisco.
Speaker 4: We went to Disney World.
Speaker 5: Oh that's right, Yes, that's right. And I mean you
Speaker 5: guys were you guys were a part of the last
Speaker 5: two episodes of the show.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean wrote.
Speaker 1: Those you wrote the finale, right, Yeah, and Mark, maybe
Speaker 1: that was a talk to us about the end of
Speaker 1: the series because we weren't expecting to be canceled.
Speaker 3: When we didn't expect to be canceled, I think they
Speaker 3: added a couple of episodes.
Speaker 4: On and uh, we wanted to do a show full
Speaker 4: of memories. That call it a clip show.
Speaker 3: You have all the clips of old memories like that,
Speaker 3: So we did Michelle has amnesia.
Speaker 5: Michelle fell off the horse.
Speaker 3: And we tell all these stories looking through photos to
Speaker 3: kind of spark her memory. And I think, you know,
Speaker 3: there were a couple of shows that had Mary, Kate
Speaker 3: and Ashley together, maybe.
Speaker 4: Three yeah, together episode with the Grandfather there was an
Speaker 4: angel and a Devil with the two of them in it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: giving her advice. But the strange thing was, whenever the
Speaker 4: two of them we're in a scene together, one of
Speaker 4: them would get sick. Really yeah, one of them would
Speaker 4: feel sick. And you know, maybe it was the pressure,
Speaker 4: the competition.
Speaker 3: They thought they were going to be compared, but it
Speaker 3: happened every time we put them in a scene together.
Speaker 1: Interesting, Well, they're not used to acting, they're not used
Speaker 1: to being scene partners, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, Oh it's different acting with your sibling rather
Speaker 2: than just being with your sibling.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was it became competitive. Maybe that's that was
Speaker 3: our theory. Maybe competitive they're in the scene together and
Speaker 3: that last I do have a video of the last
Speaker 3: curtain call.
Speaker 5: I yes, yeah, I love that video.
Speaker 2: It's on it's on the the I think it might
Speaker 2: have gotten it on its own tape, but I know
Speaker 2: it was definitely like recorded in that most of the
Speaker 2: cast I think got a clip of that.
Speaker 1: Tears, so many tears and hugs and yeah, yeah, it
Speaker 1: was a hard day and we.
Speaker 4: Didn't really realize the impact at the time, but what
Speaker 4: an effect that was going to have, like it's over.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that was.
Speaker 2: It was crazy. I mean, especially for us, you know,
Speaker 2: we were like, oh wow, so it's just like done done.
Speaker 2: You know, as kids, it's very hard to kind of
Speaker 2: comprehend that.
Speaker 4: We were having fun. You know, when we went to
Speaker 4: Disney World such amazingly, Miller and Boyette said, you know
Speaker 4: what they wanted, They want us to go someplace. Let's
Speaker 4: go to Holland.
Speaker 5: Whoa.
Speaker 4: And we were like, if that's every kid's dream to
Speaker 4: go to Holland. You know, maybe Miller and Boyette wanted
Speaker 4: to go to Holland for some reason, I don't know.
Speaker 4: They kept pushing.
Speaker 3: Holland and we said, no, we got to go to
Speaker 3: Disney World. That's that's going to be more kid friendly.
Speaker 2: You know, which, yeah, I can't imagine that there was
Speaker 2: a large audience of children who were.
Speaker 5: Like, oh, I just want to know more about Holland.
Speaker 5: I want to see wouldn't his shoes in the windmills.
Speaker 2: You know, that's my finger and a dike.
Speaker 5: That's wait, that is not how I meant it.
Speaker 2: What No, because you put your the little Dutch boy
Speaker 2: his finger in the dike to stop it from yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: to stop the flood.
Speaker 4: He did it.
Speaker 1: Well, that was a good call to switch it to
Speaker 1: Disney World, because.
Speaker 4: I know what it was.
Speaker 3: It was a challenge because you know, when we went
Speaker 3: to Hawaii, the show was not that popular. There were
Speaker 3: a few people who watched us who came around to
Speaker 3: see what. I remember as we're leaving the set, we
Speaker 3: all got on a bus to go back to the
Speaker 3: hotel and a bunch of kids were waiting and looking
Speaker 3: because they were fans of the show, and they see
Speaker 3: all is Dave col Dave, and they got so excited,
Speaker 3: and Dave stuck his head out of the bus and said, kids,
Speaker 3: don't forget to wipe.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, that sounds that's exactly what Dave would say
Speaker 5: as well.
Speaker 4: Uncle Joey just that.
Speaker 5: Yeah he did. That's exactly what he said.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was fun, but then when we got to
Speaker 3: Disney World, we needed top security.
Speaker 4: I remember jo bathroom in.
Speaker 5: Peace, No, I got followed into the bathroom. Somebody asked
Speaker 5: for an autograph under the stall.
Speaker 2: It was like, you don't want me to sign this
Speaker 2: piece of paper and hand it back to you.
Speaker 5: This is you know, Yeah, just hold on a minute.
Speaker 5: That was nuts, but it was yeah, that was that
Speaker 5: felt like when you really.
Speaker 2: Realized like, oh yeah, we've this is a lot of
Speaker 2: people know what this is.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, we had the fans all over the place
Speaker 4: by that point. Yeah, yeah that's true. Now do you
Speaker 4: know that? You know when you when you put together
Speaker 4: a writing staff, it's like putting together a sports team.
Speaker 4: You need the joke. Well, we had Lenny Rips.
Speaker 5: A master of Lenny. We had Lenny on the show.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I heard that he was good. He when when
Speaker 4: Andrew you used to kid around with Lenny and he
Speaker 4: would say, Kimmy Gibbler, I created you, I can destroy you.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, that's right.
Speaker 4: And then you have.
Speaker 3: Someone who's like who really knows story. We had Rob Dames.
Speaker 3: We used to call him the King of structure. He
Speaker 3: would say, wait a minute, what if we take this
Speaker 3: scene and put it here, change that scene there. But
Speaker 3: the hardest thing to do were the heart scenes. That
Speaker 3: was hot because comedy writers want to do the jokes,
Speaker 3: and you know, Lenny Rips paid a violinist to come
Speaker 3: to one of the table reads give a message like
Speaker 3: maybe we're getting a little too sappy.
Speaker 4: But it didn't go over well. They were serious, Yeah, yeah, they.
Speaker 5: Were pissed about that.
Speaker 2: He told us that story that he was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I hired a violinist and it didn't go.
Speaker 4: Over well, didn't go over.
Speaker 3: Now, Jeff Franklin was the heart and the soul of
Speaker 3: the show, but the show had another heart that people
Speaker 3: didn't know about.
Speaker 4: He knows, and it was Tom Miller.
Speaker 3: When we took over the show, Jeff said, before I leave,
Speaker 3: I have to tell you something. Every time you send
Speaker 3: the script to Tom Miller, he's going to call you
Speaker 3: up and.
Speaker 4: Talk to you for maybe an hour and a half,
Speaker 4: two hours about the heart scene. Oh.
Speaker 3: He cares about that more than anything. And he would
Speaker 3: get on the phone with us. Now this is a
Speaker 3: middle aged man, and he'd be saying, like, you know, Dennis,
Speaker 3: when a twelve year old girl starts to see that
Speaker 3: she's becoming a woman, and he give us all this
Speaker 3: heartfelt stuff and they care so much about this and that,
Speaker 3: and we would take in notes and he really poured
Speaker 3: his heart into those scenes and that's why they were
Speaker 3: very effective, because you.
Speaker 4: Know, he had a feel for that and it was
Speaker 4: really good, really good.
Speaker 3: And people, you know, I think he passed away, but
Speaker 3: you know, people don't realize behind the scenes, you know
Speaker 3: what really goes on.
Speaker 4: He was great at that.
Speaker 1: It was Yeah, and see that he was I could
Speaker 1: see Tom Miller being the heart guy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure, it was.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was this thing. Yeah, that was this thing.
Speaker 4: You really cared.
Speaker 1: About that and that's what makes a standout you guys.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, Yes, Which episode was the hardest to write?
Speaker 4: We almost gave up the.
Speaker 2: Wedding, No, not the finale complicated that.
Speaker 4: We almost gave us.
Speaker 1: The birth of the twins Greek.
Speaker 5: What else?
Speaker 4: Admirers track? We couldn't.
Speaker 3: I think Stacey Herr and Ellen Gilis were writing it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: came in and they said, it's impossible. It's too crazy.
Speaker 3: You have to say who wrote the note, who gave
Speaker 3: who do they give it to by accident? Who does
Speaker 3: that person think gave it to them? Who do they
Speaker 3: what do they think? We had to make a giant
Speaker 3: chart with lines and arrows of who's who got a flowchart.
Speaker 4: Well, I don't complicated.
Speaker 5: Speaking of hard and commlicated.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you know this, but uh, Andrey
Speaker 2: and I actually read an entire episode, just the two
Speaker 2: of us playing all of the characters, and we asked
Speaker 2: the audience to pick what episode and they picked that episode. Really,
Speaker 2: so each of us got to play like four. People
Speaker 2: talk about not knowing who sent to where and what
Speaker 2: it was. I think the fans did it on purpose.
Speaker 2: But yeah, that I completely know what you mean about, like,
Speaker 2: I'm not sure who wrote this letter and gave it
Speaker 2: to who.
Speaker 4: It was hard to keep track. A very highly rated episode.
Speaker 5: The highest love it. Fans absolutely love that episode.
Speaker 4: Jeff asked me to be the voice of Comment.
Speaker 5: I was gonna this.
Speaker 4: I went into the booth.
Speaker 3: And I said, gee, I wish I had a Hamburger.
Speaker 3: And came back to me later and said, you know what,
Speaker 3: I don't want Comment to have a Brooklyn accent. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna I'm.
Speaker 4: Gonna have Dave do it, and he did it all
Speaker 4: for my voice.
Speaker 5: Comment should have had a Brooklyn accent. That would have
Speaker 5: made that would have made as much sense as anything
Speaker 5: else in this show.
Speaker 2: Honestly, yes, we had two comments, right, oh yeah, we
Speaker 2: had comment and we had Bob the Dog, Bob the Dog,
Speaker 2: and that was his Well called him by his full name.
Speaker 5: Bob the Dog, because if you said Bob, Saggat turned around, right. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So it was like no, no, no, you're Bob and
Speaker 2: then you're Bob the Dog.
Speaker 4: And the reason for that is one of them was.
Speaker 5: More well behaved than the other. And I won't tell
Speaker 5: you who, but give us the dog.
Speaker 3: On one hiatus, a movie was being shot and they
Speaker 3: the dog air Bud.
Speaker 4: He was yet no, they were the dog and dyed
Speaker 4: his hair dark brown.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we couldn't get it back to the original
Speaker 3: color and we got a new dog.
Speaker 4: And then later when Mark.
Speaker 3: And I were running the show, the head of ABC
Speaker 3: called us in and said, I know, I just came
Speaker 3: up with the idea that's going to save the show.
Speaker 3: We said, who, why does the show need saving? We're
Speaker 3: already a big hit.
Speaker 4: He said, well, this is going to bring it over
Speaker 4: the top.
Speaker 3: There's a dog called air Bud that could play basketball,
Speaker 3: and we're going to get rid of the second comet
Speaker 3: and we'll bring in air Bud and he'll be the
Speaker 3: new comet. So we brought the dog in and all
Speaker 3: that dog could do is play basketball. All it did
Speaker 3: was look for basketball.
Speaker 5: It was just like, let me give me a ball,
Speaker 5: Give me the ball, get the ball, get the.
Speaker 4: Ball in the ball.
Speaker 5: Right, You're like, oh, no.
Speaker 4: Dog, that's not gonna work. That's not gonna work.
Speaker 5: Comment was the best to Comet and Bob. The dog
Speaker 5: were so they were so well behaved.
Speaker 4: They Yeah, they were good.
Speaker 5: They were great dogs. I had a lot of scenes
Speaker 5: with Comment.
Speaker 4: I'm quite partial, and I think there was a dog
Speaker 4: called a Jacks. That's right. That's why we called them Comment.
Speaker 3: We said, we can't use the name Ajax because you
Speaker 3: can't call a dog by its real name. Because what
Speaker 3: if you're doing a scene where you call the dog,
Speaker 3: but you don't want the dog to come, so Commet
Speaker 3: and that's his name, he's going to come, right, so
Speaker 3: you use a fake name.
Speaker 1: That's a good point.
Speaker 4: That's where we got Comment from, Let's call it instead
Speaker 4: of Ajax.
Speaker 5: Okay, that was cute.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: I love these stories. I just love it relive in
Speaker 1: these memories behind the scenes. Yeah, so fun and so
Speaker 1: cool to hear stories that Jodie and I've.
Speaker 5: Never heard before.
Speaker 2: You know, oh yeah, like we've been surprised plenty on
Speaker 2: this Podcas asked, wait.
Speaker 4: What yeah, oh yeah, you had so many, so many people.
Speaker 1: And can you believe we're still talking about the show,
Speaker 1: you know, thirty eight years later, we're still here.
Speaker 2: Right, Yes, Luckily people want to hear us still talking
Speaker 2: about the show. That's that's the nice part, because we
Speaker 2: could be talking about this and people could be like,
Speaker 2: I don't care, we're very thoughts.
Speaker 3: They remember that, yeah, and it's true. Giving Tom Tom
Speaker 3: Miller credit. Now, Bob boy yet was also a very
Speaker 3: smart business guy and the very good producer. And the
Speaker 3: first episode we had Scott No, that's Scott. Uh wait, DJ's.
Speaker 1: Boyfriend Scott one Gott, Yeah, thats Scott played Steve.
Speaker 5: He played Steve Steve.
Speaker 3: So, uh, Steve comes in for the first time and
Speaker 3: we see him and he's great and he's cute, and
Speaker 3: we say, oh, he's going to work.
Speaker 4: He's going to be great.
Speaker 3: So when we go to uh uh sweetening, where you
Speaker 3: put in the audience reactions and smooth it out, Bob says,
Speaker 3: put in screams girls screaming when Scott opens the door,
Speaker 3: and we said, why nobody in the audience screamed. He said,
Speaker 3: this is how we did it with the funds on
Speaker 3: happy Days.
Speaker 4: Next time, once this airs, the next time he comes
Speaker 4: in the door, the audience is going to scream.
Speaker 3: And he was right. He was right because you know,
Speaker 3: suddenly you're paying attention. What did they screaming?
Speaker 4: Right? I like him.
Speaker 5: That's brilliant.
Speaker 4: He knew, he knew those tricks. You know.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a great trick.
Speaker 2: That's a good I thought you were going to say
Speaker 2: he should walk in like eating something like, you know,
Speaker 2: because Steve was always eating like a like an orange
Speaker 2: or something.
Speaker 3: My favorite line was of Steve was we had goat
Speaker 3: cheese pizza and he tried it and he goes, Wow,
Speaker 3: from now on, if it comes out of a goat,
Speaker 3: I'm eating it.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 5: I actually say you saying that.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I remember that line because I remember I
Speaker 2: couldn't keep a straight face, and neither could Bob or
Speaker 2: Dave or anyone else.
Speaker 4: So yeah, that was he was good. He hit the jokes.
Speaker 4: He was very good.
Speaker 2: He really did, really did, and went on to become
Speaker 2: a writer of such jokes.
Speaker 5: So yeah, he knew his stuff.
Speaker 2: Well, Dennis, thank you so much for joining us on
Speaker 2: the show today. It was so much fun to get
