Speaker 6: I don't know what it is. I don't know what
Speaker 6: it is. Oh, but god, I just and that's and

Speaker 2: club when you were like way too young to be
Speaker 2: in one.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, I mean I don't know that that was
Speaker 4: what started it.
Speaker 6: I just I always knew that he and Dave and John,
Speaker 6: but particularly he and Dave were laughing at things that
Speaker 6: were subversive that I didn't quite get.
Speaker 4: But I knew, I knew I should.
Speaker 6: Like, I was always like, I don't know why this
Speaker 6: is funny, but I'm gonna laugh, pretend like I know,
Speaker 6: and figure it out later and like that and sort
Speaker 6: of just like absorbed all this comedy. But yeah, Bob did,
Speaker 6: I was going to spend the weekend with his kids
Speaker 6: after a tape night, and he was going to the
Speaker 6: Laugh Factory and he was like, all right, I didn't
Speaker 6: tell your mom this, but I'm doing a set of
Speaker 6: the laugh Factory, so you're coming with me.
Speaker 4: And I was like, all right, cool.
Speaker 6: I think I was maybe nine, And I remember parking
Speaker 6: behind laugh Factory there where green blatz Deli was and
Speaker 6: going in and sitting on the back speaker there and
Speaker 6: flashing him as you know, his ten minute and five
Speaker 6: minute lights and just hanging out back at.
Speaker 4: The comedy club.
Speaker 3: And I love it.
Speaker 4: Yeah. That was. That was.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's one of the best memories that I'm
Speaker 6: truly truly one of the best memories at because it
Speaker 6: was like I just felt like included. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 6: Bob was always really great at making everybody feel included.
Speaker 2: So well, it also shows the amount of even just
Speaker 2: respect and love that he happy at that time. Knowing
Speaker 2: that you could handle that at nine years old, you
Speaker 2: know that's true.
Speaker 6: I mean I did, Yeah, I definitely, you know, yeah,
Speaker 6: I was a pretty uh with it, little nine.
Speaker 3: Years like she's got the chops to handle this, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6: And then and and it's just been NonStop inappropriate jokes
Speaker 6: ever since.
Speaker 4: So thanks Bob Kelly.
Speaker 5: I never knew how you and Bob actually met.
Speaker 1: I guess that's just because it's always felt like you've
Speaker 1: been a part of the family forever for thirty six years.
Speaker 1: But until I read these notes, I didn't know that
Speaker 1: you met. He DMed you on int is that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: where did that come from? Tell us that story?
Speaker 4: I remember that Bob slagging in the DM.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just started telling the real, real truth of it.
Speaker 2: I think he told I mean, you know, close friends
Speaker 2: and stuff knew the real truth. And then I think
Speaker 2: he maybe told it publicly a little.
Speaker 3: Bit here and there.
Speaker 2: But the real story is that we he saw me
Speaker 2: on a dating app, but then didn't reach out through
Speaker 2: the dating app okay, and circumvented the app, and then
Speaker 2: went to because I was living in Chicago and I
Speaker 2: was in media in Chicago, and so I knew a
Speaker 2: mutual friend that was a radio host in Chicago and said, hey,
Speaker 2: like I guess he texted him and was like, Hey,
Speaker 2: do you know this girl Kelly Rizzo?
Speaker 3: And he's like, yeah, actually, my fiance's friends with her.
Speaker 2: You know, I know her a bit, and Bob goes
Speaker 2: she a bit literally, first thing he said, and he's like, no,
Speaker 2: she's really nice, you know, or from what I know,
Speaker 2: she seems really nice, and Baca, I'm gonna DM her.
Speaker 2: We used to get her a message telling her that
Speaker 2: I'm going to message her, right, And so I get
Speaker 2: this message from this guy's fiance at the time, and
Speaker 2: uh right, she was like, Hey, Bob Saggatt's gonna message.
Speaker 3: You on Instagram.
Speaker 4: And I were like what what? Literally, I go what why?
Speaker 3: Like I just wasn't. I didn't. I didn't really get it.
Speaker 2: I was like why And they're like, oh, he wants
Speaker 2: to send you a message, you know. So I got
Speaker 2: a message from him saying, hey, hey, it's Bob. You
Speaker 2: know how he was always like, hey, it's Bob's by
Speaker 2: the way, right, Yeah, He's like, I'd love to invite
Speaker 2: you to a show some time and take you out
Speaker 2: for a bunch of burgers and lobsters because he saw
Speaker 2: that I was, you know, a foodie.
Speaker 4: And I've remember many a lobster with Bob.
Speaker 2: And I was like, okay, I didn't. I didn't really
Speaker 2: you know, he wasn't really in my wheelhouse in terms
Speaker 2: of somebody I would date, because you know, we did
Speaker 2: have an age gap, and.
Speaker 3: I was just like, that's that's so bizarre.
Speaker 2: It's just like, didn't it didn't really computecause I was like,
Speaker 2: that's right, Bob Saget, like what, I din't really get it,
Speaker 2: and I was like, well, I'll be friends with him.
Speaker 2: He seems really fun and interesting, and so we just
Speaker 2: kind of became friends for a while and then I
Speaker 2: came out to LA and then we hung out in person,
Speaker 2: and then at that point I was.
Speaker 3: Like, damn it, it's like, do I have a crush
Speaker 3: on Bob? Is this happening? Is this happening?
Speaker 2: And from immediately we just clicked and connected and had
Speaker 2: this really I mean, obviously you know that there's nobody
Speaker 2: on the planet like Bob and he's the most unique
Speaker 2: person that ever existed, and so it was one of
Speaker 2: those things where I'm like, all right, even though we're
Speaker 2: very different in many ways, I can't.
Speaker 3: Pass this up because he's just too special of a guy.
Speaker 3: So yeah, so.
Speaker 2: Instagram and uh and DMS that's how it all happened.
Speaker 6: Great, right, It both the best and the worst things
Speaker 6: can slide into your DMS. It's really yeah, I mean
Speaker 6: that's I love that story.
Speaker 4: Though.
Speaker 6: I remember, I just remember how excited he was, like
Speaker 6: when you guys first started dating. He was like I
Speaker 6: just remember him like running up to me and being like,
Speaker 6: oh my god, I took that, dude. I mean I
Speaker 6: don't know that he said, dude, but he was like,
Speaker 6: I'm you won't believe it, Jude, you won't believe it.
Speaker 6: Like this girl, she's so nice, she's normal. She and
Speaker 6: I was like, well, she's dating you, so, you know,
Speaker 6: he was like, well, I'm a little weird, right, He
Speaker 6: was like, I mean mostly normal, right. I was like, okay, uh,
Speaker 6: but he just he was He would light up when
Speaker 6: he talked about you, and and it just was you know,
Speaker 6: for those of us that have known him our whole
Speaker 6: lives or you know, thirty six years, we'd seen him
Speaker 6: go through a lot of ups and downs and challenges
Speaker 6: and you know, sort of pick the worst possible situations
Speaker 6: for himself that you guys. Yeah, So like finally seeing
Speaker 6: him so happy and with someone who just let him
Speaker 6: be him and was like I love you anyway, that
Speaker 6: was it was really wonderful to see because I think
Speaker 6: Bob always, you know, he just wanted to make everybody
Speaker 6: else happy, but he just needed somebody that let him
Speaker 6: know that like he was enough, and you always did
Speaker 6: that for him.
Speaker 5: So ye you completed his enf Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well and you also like like grounded him to
Speaker 6: the earth because you needed to know. You know, we
Speaker 6: all know Bob was off and like you were like,
Speaker 6: come come here, come here, come here, come here.
Speaker 2: Well, to have that, you know, in a sense validation
Speaker 2: from you guys and his girls is like all that
Speaker 2: ever mattered to me, you know, because you obviously knew
Speaker 2: him best and cared about him the most, and you know,
Speaker 2: to have that kind of samp of approval always means
Speaker 2: are always meant so much to me. I actually have
Speaker 2: a quick, quick little story that a Fuller House story
Speaker 2: that I'm sure your listeners would love. That is how
Speaker 2: I kind of first started to meet you all. Was
Speaker 2: I was flying from Chicago to LA for I mean,
Speaker 2: to see Bob. But it was a Fuller House taping,
Speaker 2: and I remember it was the first one I was
Speaker 2: going to, and I was so excited. I was like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, this is you know, once again, very
Speaker 2: surreal because for people who didn't know, I mean, it
Speaker 2: was almost on It was on the exact same soundstage
Speaker 2: as house or a Yeah, okay, and it looked I
Speaker 2: mean it was the same set.
Speaker 3: And so for me to go.
Speaker 4: There dressing rooms, right, it was very.
Speaker 2: Very surreal for me to go, and I was very excited.
Speaker 2: And I was on a plane on the way to
Speaker 2: LA and you guys were in the middle of filming
Speaker 2: a Thanksgiving.
Speaker 6: Episode, oh table, and the thing yeah, and you guys
Speaker 6: are sitting was we set the record for the most
Speaker 6: speaking roles in a scene on a sitcom.
Speaker 4: In that scene there.
Speaker 5: Was like twenty two people. It's two speaking there was
Speaker 5: one scene.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, and it like there had been that many
Speaker 6: people in a scene but never speaking before.
Speaker 4: So anyway, his record setting, you were.
Speaker 3: There so well.
Speaker 2: I actually was on a during this. It was the
Speaker 2: same episode because you know, you all week, but one
Speaker 2: day you guys were around this table and I was
Speaker 2: on a plane and the plane had a serious.
Speaker 4: Yes, I remember, I remember this, Oh my god.
Speaker 2: I during the flight and yes, where you know, Bob
Speaker 2: was terrified. They were going around saying like, here's how
Speaker 2: to assume your brace positions. It was very, very very scary,
Speaker 2: and I remember I was on the phone with Bob
Speaker 2: and my family, and I was saying, like, this is
Speaker 2: really bad. We have to make an emergence see landing,
Speaker 2: and I'm terrified. And so I'm texting with him NonStop
Speaker 2: and my family NonStop, and it was borderline this is
Speaker 2: my goodbye type of thing, you know. It was like,
Speaker 2: you know, I remember letting you know in case something happens,
Speaker 2: I love you all very much. It was like that
Speaker 2: type of thing. And Bob was telling all of you.
Speaker 2: He's like, my girlfriend's on a plane and she she
Speaker 2: might gosh and she's maybe going down. And I remember
Speaker 2: he was getting an info from Dave because Dave's a polist.
Speaker 4: Yes, he was like Dave.
Speaker 6: Remember, he was like, Dave, what's happening. Dave was trying
Speaker 6: to calm him down.
Speaker 2: Like it was calming him down, and was asking me questions.
Speaker 2: He was saying, like, Dave wants to know, is this happening?
Speaker 2: Dave wants to know are you hearing these noises? And
Speaker 2: so I'm also in this weird state of like I
Speaker 2: might die in a plane crash, but at the same time,
Speaker 2: I'm communicating with all of the full house cast around
Speaker 2: to take while while they're in the middle of filming
Speaker 2: a Thanks well there, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then Bob,
Speaker 2: I remember, Bob was like, Candae is praying for you,
Speaker 2: and this person is saying this, and this person is
Speaker 2: saying and I was like, what is going on?
Speaker 3: Like what is my life?
Speaker 2: Because I'd only we'd only even dating a few months
Speaker 2: at the time, and I was like, what is going on?
Speaker 3: And I was sitting next to for I.
Speaker 2: Was like, well, the whole Full House cast is like
Speaker 2: praying for us.
Speaker 4: Like it was so bizarre.
Speaker 2: And then obviously we landed safely and it was fine,
Speaker 2: but uh, and then the next day I was in
Speaker 2: LA and then went to the one of you know, the.
Speaker 4: Actual yeah, yeah, because it was a rehearsal.
Speaker 3: I think that you guys right, it was rehearsal. It
Speaker 3: was rehearsal.
Speaker 4: Or it was like a Thursday.
Speaker 6: It was like our pre tape day because I think
Speaker 6: that was the day we were shooting that because.
Speaker 4: It was such a monster seat, right.
Speaker 2: And so then I went to the next day and
Speaker 2: then that that's when I actually met all of you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, got to say, you know, like I surprise alive.
Speaker 3: Thanks right right? Thanks?
Speaker 6: I mean like what I remember that though, because I
Speaker 6: remember how freaked out he was and I remember Dave
Speaker 6: being like, it's a I got let's just you know,
Speaker 6: and like, and Bob was just and we're like okay,
Speaker 6: but like, you know, try I'm that thing that you
Speaker 6: have to do when you're shooting and you're like, hey,
Speaker 6: my life, my actual life is over here on fire
Speaker 6: and falling apart, which we've all been through, and you're like,
Speaker 6: but I have to I have to just put that
Speaker 6: in a little fireproof container right now and go do
Speaker 6: my job. And yeah, but I god, I remember.
Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever told that Gary story publicly,
Speaker 2: So glad I got to share with you guys again.
Speaker 5: I had forgotten all about that. It's terrifying.
Speaker 1: So when you met us, you inherit. You basically inherited
Speaker 1: the entire full House family.
Speaker 4: Now, was that? What was that like?
Speaker 5: Meeting us?
Speaker 4: Was that like?
Speaker 5: Were you intimidated? Had you ever watched Full House before?
Speaker 5: Were you unfazed?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I mean like was it weird? So yeah?
Speaker 1: I have?
Speaker 4: Was it weird?
Speaker 3: Hell?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're we I mean we were weird. We I
Speaker 4: mean we are weird. But was it weird for you?
Speaker 3: I love? I mean I loved the show.
Speaker 2: I was you know, I was a fan, but not
Speaker 2: like a super fan where I was like I maybe
Speaker 2: had seen seventy percent of the episode something like that
Speaker 2: all through years because when you got you know, because
Speaker 2: when I got in high school was kind of the
Speaker 2: latter years where you know, my sisters were very, very
Speaker 2: into it because they were a couple of years younger.
Speaker 3: But at that point I was like, I'm only going
Speaker 3: to watch Beavis and.
Speaker 4: Butteret right around.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But I was I still always, you know, had
Speaker 2: known the show and really enjoyed the show, even from
Speaker 2: when I was you know, pre teen to teenager. And
Speaker 2: then because Jodie, I'm like right between yeah, You're like
Speaker 2: right between me and Candace. Yeah, Candace, right yeah, And
Speaker 2: so I always loved the show. But you know, then again,
Speaker 2: let's say after when the show ended, like I didn't,
Speaker 2: let's say, follow Bob's career.
Speaker 6: You were like, ow kind of people are, But it's
Speaker 6: not like you were like, oh my god, the cast
Speaker 6: of what right, You're like all right, right?
Speaker 2: And then I remember, you know, meeting Bob and then
Speaker 2: he starts telling all these stories and starts talking about
Speaker 2: you all, and I was like, oh my god, like
Speaker 2: it's so interesting how they're really truly a family. I
Speaker 2: remember he would show me group texts of you guys
Speaker 2: and he's like.
Speaker 4: Look, full House is real. Full House is real. Like
Speaker 4: he would always say that.
Speaker 6: Bob and I usually would keep a joke running until
Speaker 6: it was long dead, and it was like everyone else
Speaker 6: has moved on, but Bob and I were like, no,
Speaker 6: we're going to keep this going.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well he would, you know he would, I'm sure
Speaker 3: gladly obliged.
Speaker 2: But so from day one, he was always just spoke
Speaker 2: so highly of you all, and you know, loved you
Speaker 2: so much that I knew it was going to be
Speaker 2: a very cozy situation to go into. I mean it
Speaker 2: was a little intimidating because you guys had known him
Speaker 2: so long, and I'm sure you know he was like,
Speaker 2: you know, they had seen some girlfriends come and go,
Speaker 2: and they're a little protective love but I didn't. But
Speaker 2: from the first moment, you were all so welcoming, and
Speaker 2: because so much time had passed between you know, the
Speaker 2: first show and then Fuller House, especially like I like
Speaker 2: when I was with Bob, like I didn't see him
Speaker 2: like because he also looked so different and he sounded different,
Speaker 2: like I didn't correlate him like that. You know, my
Speaker 2: husband was Danny Tanner. Like to me, it was like
Speaker 2: two separate people, right right, I mean, and the same
Speaker 2: kind of goes with everybody, like every like so much
Speaker 2: time had passed, but from the first moment you were
Speaker 2: all so welcoming. And I remember that first time meeting
Speaker 2: you all. You just literally gave me the biggest hug
Speaker 2: and welcomed me with open arms. And I think maybe
Speaker 2: saw right away that it was you know, maybe I
Speaker 2: was around here to stay and wasn't going anywhere.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we could just tell by the way that Bob
Speaker 6: talked about you, and by like just the ease that
Speaker 6: you guys were together that it was like, oh, okay,
Speaker 6: this one's different this you know, and I get it.
Speaker 6: Like the intro introducing any significant other to the full
Speaker 6: house family is always, I think the more intimidating family
Speaker 6: to introduce people to, Like there's like my parents and
Speaker 6: my family. But then it's like, okay, now you have
Speaker 6: to meet Now you have to meet the other family.
Speaker 6: And they're crazy and and they've known me forever and
Speaker 6: like and and also knowing like these are my these
Speaker 6: people have my best interests at heart.
Speaker 4: They don't you know what I mean?
Speaker 6: And they and they would tell me many times, you know,
Speaker 6: we like this one. We don't love this one, but
Speaker 6: we love you, so figure it out, you know.
Speaker 2: Well you all were very just warm and welcoming from
Speaker 2: moment one. So I'm always very appreciative of that because
Speaker 2: I didn't have to, you know, like prove myself and
Speaker 2: be like no, you know, like right away, you were
Speaker 2: just very accepting.
Speaker 6: Well, we loved seeing Bob so happy. Yeah, he was
Speaker 6: so happy. He was so happy. And I think also,
Speaker 6: you know, I we've all got to grow up in
Speaker 6: different ways. I think on the show them included you know,
Speaker 6: the guys that Bob and Dave and John started out
Speaker 6: as the you know, these these young guys, and watching
Speaker 6: them grow up and finally become like these best versions
Speaker 6: of themselves, that was that was huge. And I really
Speaker 6: saw that with Bob, like he I felt like finally
Speaker 6: was settled into his own skin, and a big piece
Speaker 6: of that was was with you.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 6: So it was it was nice to finally see him
Speaker 6: a little more settled and like grounded. Like I said,
Speaker 6: you really you were a very big grounding force for him.
Speaker 4: So I was always happy to see that.
Speaker 3: Thank you, guys, But I mean, once again, it's everything
Speaker 3: coming from you.
Speaker 6: But it's funny talking about you know, the same set
Speaker 6: and the same dressing rooms and stuff like being in
Speaker 6: those again with Bob and Dave and John and like
Speaker 6: Candice being in Bob's old dressing room and me being
Speaker 6: like it was such a really cool full circle moment
Speaker 6: all of that, and I'm so grateful that like you
Speaker 6: got to be a part of that and that you
Speaker 6: were included in that in that time.
Speaker 4: That was so special for all of us.
Speaker 3: So cool. Yeah, it was really really cool.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think Bob enjoyed that.
Speaker 6: I think he enjoyed it more than he even thought
Speaker 6: he was going to the whole Fuller House experience.
Speaker 3: Oh one thousand percent.
Speaker 2: I think part of him was a little resistant, or
Speaker 2: he was pretending to be resistant, but then he he was,
Speaker 2: so he'd get really excited, like, wait, I get to
Speaker 2: go work with my family again after all this time.
Speaker 3: So yeah, he was really excited.
Speaker 1: Did you guys, did did he get recognized out in
Speaker 1: public when you were together? And was that weird because
Speaker 1: everybody sees him as Danny Tanner. You know, he's tall,
Speaker 1: you can't miss him when you're out in public. Do
Speaker 1: you have any like funny stories of him being recognized
Speaker 1: or how would he handle that when he was recognized
Speaker 1: in public with you?
Speaker 2: He well, he got recognized constantly because as I like
Speaker 2: to say, I'm like, he was not incognito.
Speaker 3: I'm like when he.
Speaker 2: Walked out, You're like, oh, that that's part he was.
Speaker 3: He was very bob saggedy.
Speaker 2: And you know, he it's not like he wore I mean,
Speaker 2: he did wear sunglasses a lot, but he it's not
Speaker 2: like he walked around always with like a house.
Speaker 6: He was very tall, and he'd right, he sticks out
Speaker 6: sounded like Bob right sticks.
Speaker 3: Out like a sore thumb very much. So.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, he got recognized all the time, and he
Speaker 2: was never once in the six years that we were together,
Speaker 2: never once did he shun somebody away or say he
Speaker 2: was too busy. Because you know how it is now
Speaker 2: everyone wants a selfie. He was like the selfie king.
Speaker 2: So he would always he'd be like, he wants to
Speaker 2: take the angle.
Speaker 3: He couldn't take it.
Speaker 6: You couldn't take a selfie with Bob unless he took it,
Speaker 6: or unless you spent fifteen minutes finding the right lighting angle.
Speaker 3: Or editing it right.
Speaker 2: So but he would take he would always take the
Speaker 2: person's phone and he'd be like, I got it, I
Speaker 2: got it. And then he would take the picture from
Speaker 2: his high angle.
Speaker 4: From his like right that, yeah, yeah, I learned that
Speaker 4: up here, you.
Speaker 3: Look great, y yeah.
Speaker 2: So he would always take the selfie and then he'd
Speaker 2: you know, say they'd always say like, oh, you helped
Speaker 2: raise me, or like a lot of times he would
Speaker 2: get people, he'd get people come up. I'm sure you
Speaker 2: guys get this too, but you know, people crying, and
Speaker 2: he would say or they would say like I didn't
Speaker 2: have a dad and you were like my dad, and
Speaker 2: you helped raise me. And you know, he'd get that
Speaker 2: a lot, and he would always be like, oh, thank you,
Speaker 2: thank you. And so he was always very gracious and
Speaker 2: never once in six years, I don't care if it
Speaker 2: was at one of his you know, when he was
Speaker 2: doing stand up at like backstage at one of his shows,
Speaker 2: or never, never want did he turn away a fan
Speaker 2: for a photo or an autograph or just to chat.
Speaker 2: And he was always so welcoming of it, and you know, gracious,
Speaker 2: and he really got to appreciate towards the end, you know,
Speaker 2: because anything I'm telling you, guys, you know more than
Speaker 2: I do because you knew him for thirty plus years.
Speaker 2: But you know, he was very resistant of the Danny
Speaker 2: Tanner image for a long time, which is you know,
Speaker 2: we all like I have been like this is you know, right,
Speaker 2: So that's you know when that's why so many people
Speaker 2: when they see his comedy, they're like, I can't believe
Speaker 2: he's so different than I expected.
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, that's who he really.
Speaker 4: Was always, you know, that's it's always been who he was,
Speaker 4: right right.
Speaker 2: So, but really the last few years he really started
Speaker 2: to embrace it again and got really appreciative of his
Speaker 2: of his time as Danny Tanner, you know, the original
Speaker 2: version and then the Fuller House version, and even that's
Speaker 2: why he would make TikTok videos kind.
Speaker 3: Of spooping Danny funny videos. He loved, he loved the talk,
Speaker 3: and he just really.
Speaker 2: He really started to embrace it the last few years
Speaker 2: and yeah, just accept it.
Speaker 6: He's like, all right, yeah, I saw that too, and again,
Speaker 6: I think it all it all came with that, like
Speaker 6: we all kind of settled into I think after Fuller
Speaker 6: House and like we all sort of not came to
Speaker 6: terms with but like realized.
Speaker 4: That what we created was far.
Speaker 6: More special and important than just the words that were
Speaker 6: on the page of a full House script, you know that,
Speaker 6: like it was what we saw as you know, maybe
Speaker 6: a you know, silly, funny family sitcom, but that that
Speaker 6: doesn't mean that what we created out of that wasn't
Speaker 6: like hugely important. And I do I remember, you know,
Speaker 6: Bob and John and kind of all of us being like, oh,
Speaker 6: I don't want to be that person forever, but like
Speaker 6: coming back with Fuller and seeing just how much people
Speaker 6: loved it, and seeing how much people loved seeing these
Speaker 6: characters become whoever they had become and they still loved it,
Speaker 6: Like it was really really cool.
Speaker 4: And I think we all.
Speaker 6: Like settled in a little bit in our Fuller years
Speaker 6: to like the comfort of the Tanner family and not
Speaker 6: trying to not be those people, but realizing that, like,
Speaker 6: actually those people were pretty.
Speaker 4: Awesome and kind of important.
Speaker 2: And when you realize that you can't just write that
Speaker 2: chemistry on a page and you can't just recreate it ever, no,
Speaker 2: never exist ever again, because you guys were just so
Speaker 2: special together and so brilliant together and just the chemistry.
Speaker 2: It was like, you know, the whole is greater than
Speaker 2: the sum of its parts. It was just such a
Speaker 2: special thing that you know, we'll live on forever. I
Speaker 2: mean that's you know, Yeah, I've always joked he's like,
Speaker 2: you know, he's like full house just won't go away.
Speaker 3: It just won't go away.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's true, won't It will never go away.
Speaker 6: And you know, one thing I always hear about Bob
Speaker 6: too is whenever I'm doing like a radio interview or
Speaker 6: any press or any sort of thing, everyone always brings
Speaker 6: up how incredibly kind Bob was, Like and you know,
Speaker 6: oh my gosh, but like I did an interview with
Speaker 6: him and he offered me tickets to a show, or
Speaker 6: like he remembered me, or he you know, like Bob
Speaker 6: just always really took time with people, and like that's
Speaker 6: such an important legacy.
Speaker 4: Of who he was.
Speaker 6: Was like he really made people feel so important when
Speaker 6: he was with them, while also telling you that he
Speaker 6: was very busy.
Speaker 5: You're very importantly, I'm important too.
Speaker 6: And that he yes, you're important, I'm important to and
Speaker 6: I'm very busy and important. Literally he'd like I'd be
Speaker 6: like me, like what that's the story we always tell
Speaker 6: you and be like, hey, I'm busy, I can't talk,
Speaker 6: and you're like, I don't I'm just answering.
Speaker 4: The phone, sir, I don't know what's happening.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 6: So, speaking of his like stand up and stuff, did you, like,
Speaker 6: were you at all of his stand up shows? Was
Speaker 6: it something where like he would go do stand up
Speaker 6: and you were like, cool, have fun, like I know,
Speaker 6: you know some because the comedy world is is can
Speaker 6: be draining and it's a lot, you know.
Speaker 4: How what was your experience.
Speaker 1: Do you remember seeing his stand up routine for the
Speaker 1: first time and were horrified.
Speaker 2: Now I had seen, you know, maybe some clips here
Speaker 2: and there over the years, and I remember being like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think I heard that he was kind of kind
Speaker 2: of dirty and a little different, like I read some
Speaker 2: clips and so it wasn't a total shock.
Speaker 3: But then his whole thing, He's like, I'm not that dirty.
Speaker 2: He's like, compared to other people, I'm not he goes,
Speaker 2: you know, his was more of like poop humor type stuff,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 4: Like he's like, I'm a bathroom him and Dave in
Speaker 4: the bathroom him were.
Speaker 3: Good lord, right, He's like I'm saying things.
Speaker 4: Never matured past ten year old boys.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm saying the things that I was told
Speaker 2: I couldn't say as a teenager.
Speaker 4: That was it.
Speaker 3: Basically, you know, yeah and yeah, that was really his thing.
Speaker 3: He's like, I'm really not that dirty.
Speaker 2: He's like, compare me to a lot of other people.
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm not saying I'm not talking about you know,
Speaker 2: this and this and this and this. So I remember
Speaker 2: I would go to the shows. That sounds kind of bad,
Speaker 2: but like that we're in really cool cities.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 6: It's like if he was that, that doesn't sound bad.
Speaker 6: That sounds like I'm totally normal. Yah, someone that I.
Speaker 2: Somewhere that maybe I hadn't been before it's you know,
Speaker 2: or like he was going to Nashville, Like I love
Speaker 2: Nashville is one of my favorite city.
Speaker 3: Rights, so then I would go to Nashville.
Speaker 4: I mean, you travel a lot.
Speaker 6: It's not like you needed to be going everywhere because
Speaker 6: you'd never been to place.
Speaker 2: Right, So if he was, you know, going, if he
Speaker 2: was performing, you know, somewhere cool that let's say I
Speaker 2: hadn't been, if it was like Seattle or if it
Speaker 2: was Mi Miami, or obviously if he was ever in Chicago,
Speaker 2: then I would and like I would bring in all
Speaker 2: my troops as well, and you know, New York of Nashville,
Speaker 2: you know, wherever it was.
Speaker 3: I would pick and choose.
Speaker 2: And then sometimes I would go to some more offbeat locations.
Speaker 2: If let's say it was part of a tour and
Speaker 2: I would go on, you know, doing like three cities,
Speaker 2: I'd be like, okay, let's do like Huntsville, Nashville and
Speaker 2: Saint Louis or something like that. You know, I would
Speaker 2: go to maybe one out of every four locations or
Speaker 2: something like that with him. So and then sometimes you know,
Speaker 2: he would do four shows in a weekend, and so
Speaker 2: maybe I would go to one two of them. I
Speaker 2: wouldn't go to all four, right, And then sometimes you
Speaker 2: be like, oh, you're not coming tonight.
Speaker 3: I'm like you.
Speaker 2: Three of the other shows, like like I can't go
Speaker 2: to all of them, and like, you know it's right,
Speaker 2: Like you're fine, not the one getting paid, Like I
Speaker 2: got things. Yeah, I'm gonna in the hotel and order
Speaker 2: room service, you know, right, I'm like I'll go the
Speaker 2: third time, funny, right, like I'll go walk around. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and so I went to a lot of them, and
Speaker 2: it was just so cool getting to see and really
Speaker 2: become a part of, you know, by association, the comedy world,
Speaker 2: and really even just how being backstage worked and being
Speaker 2: in the green room and him talking always to the
Speaker 2: to the managers and to the people who ran the show,
Speaker 2: and him ordering his you know, turkey wrapper buffalo or
Speaker 2: chicken wings before a show or something like that, and
Speaker 2: and his process and how he prepared and it was
Speaker 2: so interesting to me. And he was just such such
Speaker 2: a pro at it and the way he would even
Speaker 2: direct his own sound checks and things like that, and
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, he was just such a pro
Speaker 2: and liked things a certain way. And but he was
Speaker 2: just so beloved even all the all the gms of
Speaker 2: the of the venues and all the people, like everyone
Speaker 2: loved him and he knew all their names and he
Speaker 2: knew all of that from you know, he's like, oh,
Speaker 2: this is this is Tiffany, and this is Jim and
Speaker 2: you know, like he knew everybody, and everybody loved him,
Speaker 2: and you know, he'd been doing it for forty years
Speaker 2: and so he was just for more.
