We're doing a pod swop with Howarud tanneritos the Full House rewatch podcast with Jodie Sweeten and Andrea.

Barber aka Stephanie Tanner and Kimmy Gibbler.

So exciting.

So this is part two of our combo with Jody and Andrea and head over to Howard Tannerrito's for part one if you missed it, and then obviously come back and listen to the rest of our conversation here.

On top of us being massive fans of Full House, Glee, Info House have a lot in common.

Yes, yes, yeah, there's all the music, there's different themes explored with family and friendship and of course stay most.

Yes, and we also find out that Jody is a very personal connection to one of our Glee co stars shocking.

Yeah, yeah truly and also like just the phenomenon of it all, we definitely have that in common, have shared experience.

So here is part two of our convo with Jodie Sweeton and Andrea Barber.

How did it feel of getting the gang back together?

And like, obviously you're all close, you see each other all the time, your friends, but like getting to work together again, you just and your adults now, yeah, like what did that feel like?

It was like we had never left.

I mean, we had the same set, the same soundstage, So.

The first season we weren't, but the second through fifth season we were.

So it was unreal like walking through the set again for the first time, like walking through your childhood home.

We literally grew up there.

Oh my, And it was like set up in the same you know what I mean, like the same way, the like big two story sort of apartments of dressing rooms that they built for our show back in the day.

We were the first ones to used them.

He came back and they're still there, and now we've all moved up to we've moved down the hall to the adult dressing rooms Bob and Dave and Laurie's old rooms, John, and then you know the kids are in our old rooms, and you know, it just it was Yeah, I was like, I I know the smell of this stage.

I know.

I know the walls of it.

I know this isn't like an intra goal part of my existence.

Crazy, Yeah, that would be really.

So it was.

It was like, you know, and we walked through the set after that first table read and we all were just crying because.

We were like, yeah, I'm sure, we're.

Oh my god, we walked away from this and thought that was it, and like it's here again and we get to all do this together.

So incredible, especially after that abrupt Yeah.

Yeah, that was like our fuller was like our finale.

It was it was it was beautiful.

It was really a gift.

Like you said, I loved it.

I'm just curious.

You guys were so young.

I mean you literally grew up on that show.

We watched you grow up, We grew up with you.

Like what in your memory.

Like sticks out as a kid doing a show.

Of that size.

Like I'm just so like Kevin and I both started when we were fairly young, but we weren't on ugly full house age, Like I can't even imagine what that must have been like for you guys, like you.

Full working days, like.

Yeah, like all of that, yeah, full working days, school.

We don't know anything different.

Like we both started acting at the age of five, so we don't I don't know anything.

I've never had a school experience where I was there every day.

Started like I was, but kindergarten for two days, skipped to first.

And that was it.

And my entire school experience up up until high school was in and out, and you know, a couple of days a week i'd be I would be gone the whole time.

Sometimes I'd be in class in the morning and then leave and go to work, you know.

But I was at a public school, like normal you know stuff.

At the time, we didn't realize just how big the show was at first because there was no social media.

There were Nielsen ratings.

Which we didn't really know much about the kids.

Yeah, but yeah, so we didn't really know that we this had become a worldwide phenomenon until we took the show out of the studio and we went to Disney World for a couple episodes, and that's when we're like.

Oh, we need security.

When we were really I would say around the like third season and start like I started doing like autograph appearances or whatever.

And that was kind of when I was like, and it was just weird because I was like, you people are standing lines me even as a kid.

Well, not like I was like I hated myself, but it was just more like yeah, huh yeah, I didn't even really you know, like it just sort of you're just.

I'm having a great time.

I go home.

I don't watch the show.

I don't pay attention.

I'm I did it, It's done.

I never I never watched it, never watched an episode.

That's why we did our rewatch podcasts because Andrew and I never.

Watched the show.

What happens no idea.

So people are coming up to you for decades being like, oh my god, this show means so much.

You're like, great, I couldn't tell you what we did.

People would quote.

It, They're like, do you remember that episode where this happened and that?

And I was like, no, it's you know, it's been.

A while, it's been a while, and I mean it had and also it just.

It was like not to this day.

They'll come up to us and if they quote a show that we haven't watched yet on my podcast, I'm like, you're talking.

About well, okay, imagine.

My god.

So it has so again, doing this podcast has been amazing because we never we.

Never really are watching it.

For the first we are watching it.

You're just watching You're watching it.

We're just watching it.

Uh.

You know we've seen, of course, like the pilot episode and like bits and pieces of but never the entire season, the entire shit ever, the entire show.

So it's been like we have gotten to fall in love with the Tanners because all of a sudden we get to really have an outside experience of that.

Wow, that's incredible.

But yeah, it was as a kid.

It was I think when when I suddenly couldn't go to like Disneyland or the mall because it was just like an obnoxious crowd.

Yea.

That was when it was kind of.

Like, oh, I think getting recognized.

Yeah, you know.

I would imagine that the adults also were very protective of you guys on our.

Soh yeah, they yeah, we were like their kids, the kids.

They were very Yeah, we had such a great set too, Like the producers were so good to us, and they always put the kids first for production.

It's not always the case.

And you obviously you guys have remained so close that obviously the relationship between all of you was great.

It was great.

Yeah.

Yeah, Jeff Franklin gave me my first bicycle at our full first full house Christmas party and I wrote it all over the set.

Oh my god, Oh my god, that's so cute.

I mean, did they sort of guide you through the process.

I mean, you know, being in a much different place in their lives, having experienced all this level of success all of a sudden, that means one thing for them as adults, right, and then maybe that protectiveness then kicks in to look after you guys.

I don't know it was.

I mean, they always were looking out for us, just because like they're very family people.

I mean, and we started the show before any of them had kids or you know, spouses or.

Whatever the right, and they were the practice the case.

Yeah, and I spent a lot of time with Bob, So there's that know how that worked out?

Uh No, but no, I I think yeah, it was like nobody ever, like even when Bob and Dave were doing their two shows, like nobody ever.

Got But it wasn't.

Yeah, it was just kind of we all came together, we had a great time, and I don't think there was like there was nothing outside of that for us, you know, it was.

It was just fun.

This little bubble that we lived in that was unlike anything else true.

Yeah.

I find that the shows that are still I think talked about and mattered to people a lot of the times have that relationship like the asked the cohesion I'm trying to think of, like you know, like friends, like they all are super close or.

Well reads on camera.

You know, you know how.

It is if you don't get along with somebody it sometimes you're a really great actor and you're.

Like, I am so here for.

You never know, And and I think that's we've talked about that that part of the reason that we are falling in love with the Tanners is because we're watching all of us fall in love with each other and that, yeah, was what people saw and it was real.

Yeah, so yeah, that's beautiful.

Jenna, we heard you're a huge Full House fan.

So have you seen the whole series?

Because obviously we haven't.

So have you seen every episode?

Do you have a favorite episode or a season?

Okay, admittedly, I actually don't know that I've seen the whole thing from front to back.

Like I I.

Have definitely seen a majority of them.

I may have to do a rewatch now, you guys.

But joined the podcast in the middle.

But I'm a tevy girl and I saw.

I remember watching you guys, And I also don't think I was old enough to watch Like we were all the same age, so I was growing up with you guys too, So I think I watched you a lot on nickd Night at the later part later TGIF and like later on when you guys moved to like Midweek.

But I I do have some memorable things that I will always remember, like Danny ending up at the end of the bed having like a wonderful conversation with either you, Jody, or like Candice or somebody with the music playing.

That's always like a very fond uh memory for me.

I also love the episode Goodbye Mister Bear.

Oh yes, it's a that's a fan favorite.

That's it, is it, Jody Andrew, I'm sure, Yeah, it's so good.

And bring out mister Bear, mister.

Bears right here.

Yeah, you have mister in the studio audience.

Here, mister this is the o G.

As you can see, he's a little rumpled, he's really big, he's thick.

Yeah, but he looks but yeah, yeah, no, he was the standard for Michelle.

Yeah, and now he's got dog my dog hair all over it.

But this is the original one.

There were several because that there were a couple that we had.

I think there was one episode we ripped it up and then you know whatever.

But this is the one the only.

Og Wow, and that's so fun.

Director's chair in my directorship from no.

I I am well done.

Yeah, he sits in my director's chair that I got signed when I directed an episode to Fuller House signed chairs for me.

So yeah, he sits there.

Wow.

Sweet.

Yeah, my god, I know it's annoying.

I like I have like a piece of the couch in my office and yeah, but we stole all sorts of stuff.

Well Fuller House like it.

Signed.

There's like one of our was that our any lead was that our any lead WIT's photo shoot?

Oh my god?

Okay, Jody even stole the head off of that weird wooden mariner at the bottom of the living room.

Sta.

Yeah, I have take it living room.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It was like a flea market on the after the.

Things were disappeared, like it was.

People were were were going for things, which I get because I totally did, and then I was.

Stopped and they were like, you can't do that.

So I had to wait while they tagged it back.

To whatever and then somebody and then one of the off of people like we'll drop it off, and literally they came to my house, rang the doorbell and the head was just sitting on my It was one of our like PA's or whatever they did.

It's like a script that's waiting on his friend.

Yeah, exactly, totally.

Anybody else would be terrified.

I was, you guys take anything from the Yeah.

We were all very because I think they weren't allowed to.

Yeah, very expressed.

They were like you cannot take anything.

Well they told us that too.

They were like, you guys are supposed to.

An They auctioned off a lot of our stuff.

Wheelchair.

Yeah, to the wardrobe department really hooked us up.

They obviously were not supposed to be doing this, but they sort of allowed us to go into like the stage with all the clothes.

Oh, I mean I did this.

Is news to Jenna.

Yeah, was like you did what?

Excuse me?

Do this for everyone?

My cousins were all also not things that I would be wearing anyway, So it's fine.

Yeah, but I just got to go through some rats and they were just like a couple of things and I was like, okay, yeah, I'll take some sweaters that mean a lot to me.

Yeah, it means yeah.

Nice.

And they gave us a really nice gift, which was the auditorium stage was made up of all these tiles and they cut them all up and gave us.

At like engraved like Flee season six.

And that's really cool.

That was nice.

That's what I actually would want.

Yes, auditorium like.

A little exactly like the couch like you want.

I'm like, I want a piece of this.

They didn't even let us take our chairs.

Are you serious?

But we have the name things off?

Oh right, yeah, they won't let you take the whole director's share that you just get the name off.

The back, which I don't.

If you've ever.

Sat in some of those director's chairs, you're like, oh, we've been using this one for about thirty eight years.

I got the new one on the original show, right, the short ones we all switched to those.

I took the clock off the choir room wall.

That it doesn't work, but I took it.

But still everybody took something of sentimental value to them.

Now, if you guys were obviously we have a musical show, right, So if if Full House was a musical show or there.

Was a lot of musical.

I was going to say we practically were the first couple of seasons.

I was like, is this another montage with the band back again?

Music?

Almost a musical, You're.

Just on the shy of a musical.

We really lived out our musical dreams though in Fuller House where we went full street dancing musical.

Yeah, you did, you did?

If you guys were on our show?

Is there a song that your character would have say that Stephanie and Kimmy would have sang.

Or they would have liked.

Would we sing about frenemies song?

Will we sing together?

Are we doing a duet?

Whatever?

I'm not a good singer and you are, so I'm going to sing a duet with you and let you take the lead talent.

Yeah, just humming in the background, and everybody needs I was gonna say everybody needs a good hummer, and then I realized.

That Tony sweet I meant a person who hums.

Yeah, advice.

But but I yeah, I don't know what I would sing.

I want to sing one of the famous like Motown Philly, but one of those yeah, you know, just.

But sing it?

Sing love live?

Yeah?

I love love Sha Live.

Absolutely definitely I guess Yeah, I could do one of those.

I could yeah a nod to full house, but we could sing forever.

Yeah, I could say yeah yeah yeah to turn that into a duet, and you can be the choir parts.

Okay, all of them, all nine hundred of them, for a lot of so many choir people just appearing and knowing the lyrics and the tune.

It was amazing.

Tell us, you know, you go back and you watch and you're like, wait, wait, wait, wait wait wait.

Yeah, okay, so everybody knows the dance moves and we all just walked into okay.

Okay, yes, yeah, yeah, and you know I don't.

I mean, my go to karaoke song is always.

Uh either Jefferson Airplane or and or.

Part of your World from Little Mermaid.

Yes, everyone sings that a karaoke And I am a Disney child at heart.

They grew up with Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast.

So yeah, so.

When you got too famous to go to Disneyland.

We didn't get too famous to go to Disney.

I got two fit.

This sounds obnoxious, too famous to go to Disneyland without like someone like a guy with Yeah, because guide Disney also won't give you a guide in less, Yeah, your presence is disturbing the park guests and operation.

Yes, so if people are gathering around you to get you know whatever, and people aren't able to get by or whatever, then they'll give you a guide.

Well, and now you have the Disney.

Disneyland and one of his took us to Disney.

Great friends, Al Nasser, who he went to high school with, became a really great family friend of ours too, and Al worked at Disneyland and like worked his way up basically to like the top was you know, one of the head guys in charge of the park over you know, at different times, and just a lovely human.

But yeah, John and I.

Definitely we share a Disney and lego obsession.

So that's yeah.

Yeah.

Children just reminded me of not to keep talking about John.

No, no, no, but those everyone, but the effect of.

Your show around the world.

My the maybe top three most embarrassing moments of my life.

My boyfriend, best friend, he's actually at my house right now.

He's Brazilian, grew up in Brazil and he was then he moved to La That's where we met and he was visiting me at work.

I was in the bathroom and his name is Marco, and Marco was like in my trailer.

And then i hear a knock at the door and I'm like, hey, can you get that?

And it's John and I just hear Marco going like, oh my god, Hi, I'm Kevin's friend because we were hiding it, and he was like, I just tell you, I grew up in Brazil and I've loved you my entire life.

And I and I'm like peeing.

I can't do anything but like John's like first or second day, so I'm still like trying to play it cool and honestly, so I grew up doing music.

I had introduced Marco to Dana Ross.

He had met like really famous people didn't give to John comes to the door and Michael's losing his mind.

Yeah, and I'm just like, tryff on people.

I'm trying to get out of that.

And I'm just like what I never knew his love a full house like this, And then like the rest of the day, when I was just like, what is wrong with you?

Why would you do that?

Like you just embarrass me.

This seriously, show is huge in Brazil.

Huge.

Yeah, That's how I found that out because yeah, he told me all about how.

This show is, like it's one of our biggest fan bases.

It's like I feel like all of my followers, it's like the US and.

Yes, they love it, a loyal fan base.

Those.

I feel like we needed to take an h RT road trip to Brazil.

I heard listening there, Glee is also big.

I'm just saying, take us.

We'll get in the back episode.

With us.

You can get me great, We're gonna it'll be a musical.

It'll be it's gonna be so much fun.

I think your lives iheart's ears here, right.

Yeah, let's go to Brazil.

But it's we're gonna have like two days of shooting, but like we need to be there for like two weeks and really like scope everything out.

Yeah, scout first, we have to we have to scout.

But no, I yeah, it's amazing when you know you go to other parts of the world.

When we went to Japan and shot there, there was hundreds of people waiting for us to get off the plane, like it was I never had Yeah, it was so yeah, it was crazy.

It was crazy, and like I believe in her and so.

Yeah, you know that also feels really famous, like when someone when people.

You never never that happened?

We were like who they Yeah, like, oh it was like I just got off a thirteen hour flight.

I think I a hell.

And then we're taking a picture.

Of this.

Just wrecked.

People like can we get a picture and she's like, I look like a picture.

Hasn't slept and.

I'm in I like smell like an airplane eighteen hours And yeah.

We have a question.

We ask all of our Glee crew cast, everybody who's been part of the show.

Every episode we ask what is the feeling.

That Glee leaves you with?

So I would like to turn that on you guys and ask you what is the feeling that Full House.

Leaves you with?

Oh, I'm just the warm fuzzies.

Comfort.

Yeah, it's like comfort food.

It makes you feel better by the end usually.

Yeah, it's like it's wrapping up in your favorite blankie and feeling like, Okay, as long as I'm right.

Here, the world will be okay.

Yeah, you know, and I think that show meant that to a lot of people.

And yeah, yeah, the warm fuzzies.

I like it.

Well.

I think that's why it has stained power too, because the world is so heavy now people want to go back to relive, you know, a more innocent time from the nineties.

Yes, the three cell phone era.

God, oh my god, I wait to burn those all in a pit.

Yeah, drop a pin, I'll be there.

Oh yeah, I'll let you know.

Yeah, like, hey, today's the day take it back to normal behavior.

Yeah, yeah, No, you guys certainly are just like a stamp in time for sure for a lot of people, but for us as well, like it was so iconic and such a core memory or like I just remember it always like running in the background in my house.

Like when you were talking about your favorite episode, I was like, my memory is terrible.

I don't remember episodes from anything, even the show as I've been.

Yeah, I do.

What I remember from Full House was the feeling I had watching it, Like I remember that very vividly, and like what that because the show would be a show people watch with their families.

Yeah, and so that whole feeling, that innocence of however old I was at the time watching it, and you know, like dinner's cooking in the kitchen and Full House is on and we're all watching it and everybody loves it, and like it.

Was when everybody watched TV together.

Maybe you had two TVs in the house, but not yea, Yeah.

And it was it was a warm the warm fuzzies and like a big hug.

That's what it felt like poor viewer as well.

And that's so special.

And yeah, I think that that's one of those intangible things that you you can't plan on happening.

And I think writers probably hope that happens and direct like you hope all those things have that effect on people.

Yeah, and then you're in somebody's home all around the world and you have that same impact.

It's just it's profound.

Yeah, that's come back to us too with Fuller House because now the kids that watched Full House are they now have kids themselves and the house and full House with their kids.

It's like a multi We just birthing new Full House fans eight years or of great job security and great what it is.

It's it's wild, you know, it's and the parents you know that grew up watching the show as adults on the original are now the grandparents watching their kids.

Watch it, watching it with their grandkids.

You know.

It's like, yeah, rarely does a show get to do that.

I don't I can't really think of any others that have gotten to come back and still have like that fan base and that much of a and that Yeah, it was.

It's a huge honor.

It's like, wow, you know, lightning got to strike twice.

Not to keep tooting our own horn in here, but you do.

Yeah, I think it's But Jenna's a two time award winning segue to that, yeah, before, let's just put that out there first.

So we're trying to more we have a two time Tony Award winning producer.

But anyway, inserting that every time impacted lives of millions around the world.

Deal, that's fine.

Well, no, I was just gonna say, like The Full House was about a non traditional family, three dads essentially raising kids, and so I think that hit a lot with people back then, but even more so now with there's a lot of non traditional families out there, and so people are seeing themselves through there through their TV screens, and that's so important.

That has lasted for thirty.

Eight years, and I think even back then there were a lot of untraditional families that I know watched our show, like and kids that were like, oh I grew up with my aunt uncle or I you know, my I have two dads or you know what ever, or a single mom, whatever it might be.

They all could find themselves reflected.

In this family.

And you know, it's the amount of times that people have said, like, you guys taught me that family isn't just about blood relation, but it's about who shows up for you.

You know.

That's Yeah, it's the only one.

That's a pretty that's a pretty amazing impact to have.

Yeah, some of these things, you know, our experience is so limited, especially as a kid, what we have access to, what we're exposed to, and like TV and film and that's our gateway for sure.

And it was just a different a different time, you know.

Yes, yes, definitely what a legacy.

Well we have.

Both, I mean we've both had quite Yeah, both the impact, it's pretty amazing and very grateful.

You have new fans sort of every eight years.

We've now experienced that like twice maybe now and the show.

Yeah, it's like children running up to us.

I'm like, why are you watching this show now?

Like yeah, yeah, So it's it's nice to know that.

Yeah, being a part of something like that that does find people and they do enjoy it, and yeah, it feels like you could never plan for that.

No, she's very lucky to definitely have some small part in something like that, right.

Also nice to connect with, like you guys who have been through something similar who can understand it on a different level and help us kind of say that to the listeners and to everybody who for experiences it from the other side, you know.

So it's a special club to be and still understand our histories and what we go through and what it's like.

And yeah, not many people can say that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I also have a randomly connection with Matt Morrison went to high school together.

Oh my god.

We both went to high school for the arts.

We were both in musical theater and he was I want to say, a senior when I was a sophomore.

Maybe Anyway, I believe we kissed.

Made out at my sixteenth birthday party on like a tiki boat in Newport Harbor.

I think, yeah, yeah, it was my sixteenth birthday.

I think it was my sixteenth birthday party and wait, birthday.

It almost didn't happen because I was being an idiot and just causing chaos at home and my mom was like, the only reason we're still doing this party is because I paid the deposit.

Get back it's too late.

She was like, you don't deserve this party, you're being in it.

And I was like, well, I'm still on the boat and I think my friends got in trouble for smoking pot on the boat that night in an enclosed area.

I was like, you guys are so dumb.

Yeah, and yeah, I believe.

I I believe.

I kissed Matt Morris and at my sixteenth birthday.

Of course, it's one of those things when.

You say it, you're like, that sounds so weird, did you?

Yeah?

Right?

And yeah and Matt and there was a whole group Matt and Katie and Mavina and.

Like the russ I still remember their names.

There was a group of incredibly talented seniors that like very talented too.

You got yeah, yeah, ton Yeah, so yeah it was I remember looking at them and being like, oh damn.

And then you know, then we've we also have had some Tony Award winning uh you know, people from Osha that I know and things.

So it's a it's kind of a fun little thing when you see somebody you're.

Like, oh my god, yeah, yeah, wow.

So that's my random Glee connection.

Do you think Matt Morrison would remember this boat kiss you ran into him today?

I don't know, should.

Be like, yeah, hey, random question, Yeah did you kiss Jody Sweeten on and be like no, she's a liar?

And I was like, oh my god, I've gasoled myself into my own memory.

Yeah, just let Jody say it looks.

No, it's so no, we can totally bring it up.

It's hilarious.

But but yeah.

I don't know.

I don't know how many people he was making out with, you know what I mean, like, you don't know, I don't know.

Maybe it was like that you're definitely memorable.

Well I personally am memorable, but you know, maybe sixteen maybe I've sucked at kissing people.

I don't know who knows.

We hope you guys enjoyed the conversation.

We had so much fun chatting with them, big full house fans over here, Jenna and Kevin, and it really comes full circle having dinner with the Tanners that one thing.

So yeah, it's also nice to be able to really find other people who do have some recognition of this crazy thing we've experienced together.

And it's nice to now add that we never had this conversation with them before, you know, when we've met them sort of been passing.

And so it's nice that that little community has grown for us because it's a weird thing and you know, not many people have experienced it, and it's nice to know that you have that common ground.

And thank you to Jody and Andrew every being like so open, so honest and welcoming to us, and we're so honored that they did this with us.

So thank you.

That's what you really missed.

Thanks for listening and follow us on Instagram at and that's what you really miss pod, make sure to write us a review and leave us five stars.

See you next time.
