Speaker 1 (00:18):
Hey there, Fanarritos, Welcome back to a brand new episode
of How Rude Canna Ritos. Today we are joined by
a very special guest. We have Deborah Stipe on the podcast,
who you know as Cindy, Danny's girlfriend, who is equally
as obsessed with cleaning as he is, and she has
quite the prankster for a son. We can't wait to
talk to Deborah about all things Full House and what
(00:40):
it was like to play a guest star that is
loved by so many. So please welcome Deborah.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Hi Deborah, Oh there you are.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Hi, you good you, thank you for joining us.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I got to see Jody very very very briefly in
Los Angeles, but now I get to see you too. Andrea.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Oh yay? Where wait? Where did we run into each other?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Well? Okay, so I was filming in an episode of
Full House. Rewind Oh yes.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
That's right, and you were coming in. That's right.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
The one thing you like, I don't know? You like?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Lost your I think you lost your wallet?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Oh yeah, the something I couldn't find I didn't like. Yeah,
it was I I left the house and I had
taken my wallet out of my purse and it was
like only street parking, so I had to ask, can
you pay for my street park Like it was just
one of like a stupid thing, but it was like
I just didn't and then I was like going to
do a bunch of other stuff. So I was probably
in a tizzy that I didn't have my my wallet.
(01:40):
But yes, I do remember that. That was so fun
very much.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
You get tizzy when I don't have my wallet, right,
But we just watched uh, Terror in Tanner Town last night,
and we just recapped that episode. Oh my goodness, your
first episode on Full House outstanding. You meet Cindy and
Rusty who are just quite the duo.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Or wow, Cindy, she's really yeah, really struggling.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
That was an episode. Yeah, yeah, sorry, especially with you, Stephanie.
That was rough. He really uh hard time.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah, but I think stuff gets him back in a
particular episode, so we're gonna be all right. But but yeah,
we were just joking about that too, because I think
he says something about, you know, this means war and
stuffs like any.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Time challenge excepted.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
When I auditioned for that girls, it was like I
walked in and they paired us up with kids. Oh right,
like certain auditions you've had, like and they just kind
of like forever live in your mind and memory. Yeah, yeah,
with them, because when I met that kid, I was
engaged at the time, but I didn't have any children,
and I looked at him and I was like, I mean,
if I had a kid, it wouldn't be him, right,
(02:48):
Oh yes, I just thought we resembled each other. And
we got to audition together.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
It was so fun working with him, and we were
all like, both of us were the newbies on the sete.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yeah, so there's some comfort in that, which is great.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Oh no. We were talking about what a great job
Jordan did playing just an absolutely like terrible kid that
you you know, a character you love to hate exactly exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
That's a fine line, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Right, Yeah, very much. Now did you audition like separately
first and then get called back to do readings with
the kids or were they just sort of like you
you read together, right, right? It was like that, Okay, yeah,
and I remember those days.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
And so then we went out in the hall and
kind of like you know, quick run through, get to
know each other, and then we were in and I
just remember we had fun. Yeah, you know, I think
you know, you've had a good audition, especially for a
project like this. I was like, that was fun. You know,
Joe was in there, and I think Bob was in there,
and there was this chemistry and fun and yeah, I
got a strong maternal instinct even before I was a mom,
(03:49):
So that was just it was a whole lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Oh yeah, no, you were a great mom. Like when
you grabbed his face and like we're going to talk that,
I was like, I remember my mom doing that, you
know what I mean, like just the arab of the chin.
You're like, oh no, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Did you audition? Was it a scene from that episode
or was it just a random scene that Jeff had
given you? Do you remember?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I think it was two scenes. I think it was
our first scene because I think they wanted to see
how Bob and I would.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
You know, chemistry read for you guys, yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Artonizing right, right, So it was that scene and then
it was some scene with with uh with Rusty maybe
at the dinner.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Table okay, okay, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yeah, reprimand to him. I'm nervous about leaving because.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Right, you know, you know your kid and you know
that he's gonna make some trouble.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
We came up with a theory that that that maybe
she knows that her kid is kind of a terror,
and so she's like, I'm bringing him to these people's
houses and then I suddenly have to go have an
emergency the drag cleaner. I'm gonna be gone all day,
And she is just like, you know what I mean,
because we're like, what is an emergency at a drag
cleaner's What does that do?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Right?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
What is it? Where?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah? What were you doing all day at the store?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
That was so I think she was.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Like, I can't take this kid today. I'm gonna, you
know what, go meet other people?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah, right, stained from dressing.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
But I mean like something that would be like urgent, right.
I never played it like I was testing him or
testing Bob like. I played it like there was a
legit emergency.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Oh yeah, no, that's there was a legit emergency. I
just like to I go off on tangents where I
create absolutely ridiculous stories about what's really going on on
full House. Uh yeah, and it's usually has nothing to
do with what's actually happening.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
But I'm sure you're talking some really great storylines. I'd
like to hear some.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Oh oh, just ridiculous stuff. Yeah, do you remember your
first day on set with everybody? I mean you kind
you met jor first you guys had that the audition together,
so that was kind of nice at least, But do
you remember like coming on to set, were you nervous?
Was it overwhelming?
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Or I will say, like, you guys were such a family,
and the beauty of that is like you were this
super fun family, but also like you are truly the
new kid on the block. So anytime as you're showing
up to do like a guest spot or something, you
are the new kid in the block, and you're also
the pressures on to do a good job. Right. But
everybody I remember, like Bob and Dave literally never stopped
(06:32):
cracking each other out. Never just never caught. That was
one of my initial impressions. Also, Okay, I'm going to
ask you this, and I hope I'm not overstepping, but
I think that maybe did John ever date Paula Abdu Yes,
she was.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Yeah, Paula was around. That's why her posters on DJ's wall.
Paula was around a bunch during the fourteenth I.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Always wondered because there was some sort of joke that
Bob made to John and kind of a nod to
the poster and I was too new to right, But no,
I just remember like going, you know, to lunch. You know,
it's like when you're in the middle school and you're
going to the lunch, right, everybody was great, Everybody was welcoming,
(07:16):
good and truly, like Bob felt super safe. I remember
I was engaged to my husband when I did the show.
People would ask him like, oh, are you threatened that,
you know, Debra has to like kiss Bob Sacket, And
my husband was like, it's America's.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Right, Yeah, it's not. Yeah, it's okay, yeah, because he
just he had a sense of trust with him for sure.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Oh yeah, you guys had such great chemistry too, with
the flirting with the martinizing, like it was just you're
so perfect for.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Each other, and actually cast what martinizing means, so that
we yeah, it's it's just.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Well, I'm kind of confused, but I think it's just
another word for dry cleaning, but maybe in like an
enviolment to leave friendly way.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Lightly sexier words, right, Yeah, yeah, because argonizing.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
It was impressive, right, impressive? Yeah, yeah, then had you
worked with.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Like on sets with a lot of kids before, because
that was you know, sometimes actors have done a lot
of more single cam stuff or more like you know,
adult tell not adult Healvin, but like, you know, not
casts with a lot of kids. And we were very
kid heavy. Lots of kids.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Dogs, yeah, exactly, dogs. Talks. They say, don't ever act
with kids or talks. Yeah, but well pretty well, I
would say, Okay, two things helped me. One is I
had done a whole lot of theater, so I love
the stage and you know it's a little scarier, but
it's so alive. Yeah, audience, So I love that. I
love the fact that there was The schedule was so great,
(08:53):
like the table reads on Monday and then by Friday
year sho would be for a live audience. It's just
a it's a really nice schedule. But also I've always
loved kids. I had a lot of nieces and nephews.
I'm one of seven children. Oh wow. In college I
played Maria in the Sound of Music and had like
the best time. So kids, I love playing them out
(09:17):
a blast.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Yeah. No, our and our set was definitely when the
Olsen Twins were you know, we had the baby wrangler
Adria later off stage feeding them lines, and so that's
it can get a little tedious at times, trying to
like reshoot that again and again and you know, make
sure Adrian is not in the shot and that the
eyeline is correct. You know, it's it's it's a it's
a process.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
It's different than other sets. Haven't worked with kids before.
You know, a lot of people adults are like, oh
my god, this is the stakes forever, and you're like, yeah,
it does, yeah, it does belong.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
But there's also kind of like a beautiful humanity about it.
You know, Yeah, we've got to slow down, We've got
to let them do it again. Right, You've got to
create an environment where they feel particularly safe. Yeah, you
actually su with my daughter and that was like one
of my biggest values was create a safe space kids.
And if you don't feel safe, you can't experiment. And
(10:10):
that's where created flows from. So make a safe space.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
We talked. We talked about that a lot. How Full
House was a really unique set in that it was
an incredibly safe space, and so many you know, shows
and things weren't that at the time. They had you know,
terrible showrunners or you know, just people that screamed. And yeah,
and we just really had a very safe family set
(10:37):
to to you know, top to bottom, crew to cast.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Do you credit that to the leadership or to the
cast or.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, all of that, I think all of it.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
I think it starts at the top. Jeff is with
Jeff Franklin.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Jeff was very conscientious of like the parents and the
kids and not you know, and he's pretty like, you know, mellow,
easy going. He has his moments when he's fighting for something,
but he's that. He was not a showrunner that's screaming
and yelling at everybody, and you know, and so him
(11:12):
and then the adults on the show, you know, Bob
and Dave and John and Laurie, they're also very family people,
like family is important to them, kids are important to them,
and so it was just the nature of who they
were also, you know, and then our parents were there,
Like it was just all of it. It was everyone
(11:33):
you felt looked out for, You felt safe, You felt
like everyone cared about you.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
So yeah, and you wonder if ahead of time, if
they really thought through that or did they just get
really fortunate that, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I think we just got really fortunate. I always say,
like Full House sort of just was like this little
sprinkle of some sort of magic dust that made it
an environment that was really unlike most sets. Yeah so,
and it was just a matter of like, you know,
and the reason we're still all friends thirty eight years later,
(12:09):
you know, is because we just clicked as a family,
like something about all of us just fit together really nicely.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
It's got to feel so good because I get this
a little bit, you know, how about the grocery store.
Maybe somebody thinks they know me and then we you know,
we trace a factor full House and so many people
are so the heartwarming responses that I get, or how
much the show like almost ministered to them, like touch
(12:41):
them so deeply, encourage them so deeply. They always could
trust the message. They could always trust what was going
to be communicated. It's that's a really a gift to
be part of.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah, We've had it's been a real pleasure to hear
so many guest stars, I mean, everyone pretty much that's
come on the show has, you know, said it was
one of the greatest guest starring experiences that I had
because I just immediately felt welcome because it Ben guest
star on a show, and I've most of the time
(13:12):
everyone's super great and lovely, but it is You're like, oh,
there's that's the family people, and then I'm just kind
of the interloper, you know. But we really tried to
make everybody feel welcome and happy and yeah, and Bob
and Dave cracking each other up constantly was I mean
that kind of set the tone also for just we
were just playing and being silly.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
And I'm sure a lot of those jokes were probably
written into the show.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Really, probably a lot worked because they were things that
you couldn't write into a family television show. Yeah, there
was a lot of that that went right over our
heads as kids.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
But our moms would sit in the bleachers and the
audience bleachers during rehearsals, and so every once in a
while they'd be like, Bob that the kids are on
you guys.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Yeah, you know, yeah, and they were like, sorry, mom, sorry,
you know it was but again, they were like so
sweet about you know. They It wasn't like some actors
that would have been like, oh shit, you know, who
are these moms telling me what to do? No, it
was like oh sorry mom, you know, right, right, right, yeah,
so but yeah, oh, Bob and Dave were constant, just constant.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
So, Deborah, you did three episodes of Full House, right,
did you know when you auditioned that you were going
to be coming back a few times or was it
Did you think it was just going to be a
one time appearance.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
I thought it was gonna be a one time appearance.
You know, it's the actor. You don't always know. Yeah,
and I don't know if those other episodes had been
written yet, So I was so so grateful. You know,
first one was Terror in Tanner Town, and then it
was New Year's Eve, and then it was a Secret Admirer,
which is my favorite for it.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Oh my gosh, everyone so many people loves that.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Episode, love that episode.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
We just we recreated it Andrey and I recently, Yeah, we.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
On on the podcast. We were we were all Jody
and I split up the characters, so we did all
of the characters, everybody.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
And we but we couldn't play ourselves. We had to
play each other. So we played each other and like
four other characters. But it was such a complicated thing
because because you're reading the voiceovers, which is Resti's words,
but as the oh, yeah, I was like, this is
I don't know who I am anymore? But it was
(15:37):
really it was really fun. But we did that episode.
We asked our audience, like, which one, you know, would
you want us to do? What episode should we recreate
and play all of the characters, And that was the one.
It was a great episode. I can't wait to watch
that one.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Oh, I can't wait for Andrea coming down the stairs
taking the Jesse's hot for you and you're rocking the lips.
That's it's iconic.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, Kimmy, Kimmy, there was no shortage of confidence there.
She was. Of course, Jesse's in love with me, right,
I believe this?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah? So yeah, that was such a fun episode.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Now probably know that they actually wanted Bob and Cindy,
Danny and Cindy to get married. And it's one of
my life regrets. Girls, Oh, I need me to become
a series regular, which I've never I've been a recurring
character on a number of different shows, but I've never
been like a series regular. There was another series that
(16:40):
they were going to create from a guess but I did.
But anyways, I regret it because it would have been
so much fun. Yeah, we've had more time.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
But hey, I mean, so, wait, why do you regret it?
Was it your decision not to come back, or was
it like a creative decision They just said, oh, we're
going to break them up. No.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
What was kind of weird is so my agents approached
me and they said, they want you to be a
series regular. They want you to get married to Danny.
Oh my, this is like regular, and like the contract
was sent and my agents thought that you know, there
was it was a big cast, right, I mean.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Yeah, yeah, we grow exponentially, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
They thought that I would get lost, They thought that
I feature film career, and I think that they didn't
realize what a good fit it would have been.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Oh yeah, you know what I mean, that would have
been an amazing an amazing marriage. You know that. Oh man,
you guys had such great chemistry.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Well, you know, it's fullhouse always kind of got judged
and critiqued by you know, the industry and critics and
what it was. It was a show for the fans,
for families, and and we sort of lived in that.
But yeah, a lot of agents would have probably been like, oh,
that's a you know, sort of geese sitcom. You have
this to do, you know, but wow, we never knew
(18:06):
I never knew this.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
This is We didn't know that you were going to
get fuller house out of it, you know what I mean. No,
But what's weird is like this happens on shows, like
you get really invested in a certain character, right, and
then the actor isn't available or something, so suddenly they're
just yeah, so where did Cindy go? Yeah? Is there ever?
Like well, conversation was there's just a new girl.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Maybe she had maybe she had to leave San Francisco.
Maybe Rusty was really getting involved in some in some
unfortunate business in San Francisco, and she was like, we
need to move out of here. Yeah, and she she
sold the dry cleaning business, opened another dry cleaning business,
uh somewhere just kind of outside Palo Alto, right before
it was expensive though, and yeah, and she has been
(18:53):
living there and uh and Rusty uh became a total
tech nerd.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
So yeah, there were and you know who she married,
Henry Martin.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Henry Martin, Yeah, yeah, she married. Yeah, randomly popped into
her store and she was like, oh martinizing and he
was like, oh my god, no one knows me. And
it was love at first sight and that's what happened. Yeah,
it's great love, lovely story.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
This is what we do, like, this is how we
amuse ourselves.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
No more tonight, that's it.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
It been so fun, though, to have you as a
series regular and to be with us all the time,
that would have been a great fit.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
But it would have been fun. I actually didn't need that.
With Candace Cameron maybe ten years ago. It was a
women's event and she spoke and I sang, and I'd
written a song and I got like some dancer girls
to dance behind me. Anyways, I mean a great kind
of you know, reconnection. Yeah, it would have been fun.
(19:53):
It would have been fun. Girls.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Wow, I always thought that, oh gosh, Vicky was the
only a potential uh marriage for Danny. Yeah, this would
have changed.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
This would have changed the whole trajectory a step brother. Yeah,
that would be Can you imagine Rusty moving into the
whole house?
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Like that would be drama, right, I mean, particularly after
the scene where Steph, wait, what.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Did you is that weird?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
He did?
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Yes, he tried to kiss you in New Year's Well, yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
That's that's he That's what I was saying I was
literally like, and it gets weirder because Steph whites the
onion and then kisses him on New Year's so like
that's sort of weird. Like you know what I mean.
If he moves in as the step brother. Oh okay, yeah,
you know, things get a little weird. Can't share room
with anybody. You can build an addition onto the house.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
You go, can we do that? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Absolutely, this room at the backyard, this house is possible
only through uh the non observation of physics because shape shifts.
Like our first question was why did Cindy there's a
doorbell on the back door, Why does she come to
the back.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
You're you enter from the back door. That's your first entrance.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
And it's like, yeah, wouldn't I say, like, are we
already that familiar? Have I been there before?
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I mean, yeah, I'm you're delivering it's been two weeks.
But your first appearance on the show his dry cleaning, right,
but you had but you met two weeks ago, a
whole two weeks, that's what he says in the show.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Maybe I had been delivering his dry cleaning for a while.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Well, it used to be Julio. See it used to
be Julio and then you took them literally, that's in
the script. I'm not just making some random stuff up
the time, but you never know. But no, that was
that was what happened. But that was my My shock
was that Danny goes, Yeah, well two weeks ago, and
I was like two weeks You guys are very cose,
(21:59):
like yeah, okay in.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
The kitchen, yeah, very cood.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Yeah, it was things were moving fast. I mean I
see now they were going to get married. You know,
you just felt right ye yeah, yep.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
You guys were so good together. Did you ever see
Bob after you finished doing the Full House episodes? Did
you see him again years later? No?
Speaker 3 (22:20):
No, I could love to, but I never did.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, he's absolutely.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Broke on all that.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yeah, we talk about him a lot. We keep his
spirit alive, cracking inappropriate jokes. Jody loves to constantly make
an inappropriate comment.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah, there's one to be made, I'll make it. So
that was kind of like Bob.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Yeah, totally totally. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Oh all of America, but in a special way to
you girls. Pretty sweet.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah, yeah, we got you know, getting to come back
and do Fuller and like really experience sort of all
of this over the past thirty plus years has been
pretty awesome. And even you know, it's always crazy to
me because the fans are so incredibly invested in the show,
Like they recognize people who were in four episodes or five,
(23:13):
you know, like they're just so like, oh, this was everything.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
And I.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Love that about our fans. It's really.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Too No. I have a couple of girls that follow
me because they're so passionate about the show. Oh, that's
our connection. And when they found out I was meeting
with you girls, they were like, oh, that's so nice.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Ah. When do you get recognized for the most when
you're out and about is it full House? Is it
another project that you loved?
Speaker 3 (23:47):
It's so funny. It kind of depends on where I am. Oh, okay,
like if I'm if I'm in a place where there's
a lot of like females, young females like maybe in
their thirties. Full House, full House Now Atlanta Airport. I
was a recurring character on a Tyler Perry series, okay,
(24:08):
and you would have thought, like the storyline was so important,
Like they thought that I played the obstetrician, the baby doctor, right,
they thought that the DNA. So it was like a
cool storyline and everybody was, like you said, very invested,
very invested.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Audience.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
People would be coming up to me asking you, asking
me like, did you switch the DNA. I'm like, oh,
time will tell.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
So there was a lot of that. And then I
did a film with Tyler Perry. Excuse me, I did
a film with Terry Bradshaw. The film Just It did well.
It's super fun. I played Terry Bradshaw's wife and they
played a lot on airlines and so people recognize me
for that too.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
What's what's the title?
Speaker 3 (24:54):
What was it called Figures?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah? Figures? Oh yeah, we mentioned that.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Okay, I'll look on my next flight. I'm gonna look
in the menu.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
And Glenn Close, Glenn Close is amazing in it. I
mean it's about two brothers trying to find their biological
dad and I'm married to Terry Bradshaw, which is hysterical. Oh,
it's fun. It was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
So cool. Oh that's great.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
And you're still acting to this day. Yeah, you're still
I mean, you love I just loved it.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
I love it. Atlanta has been a really great place
to be. When we first moved here as kind of like, oh,
I guess I'm done with that, like number acting. And
then there was like industrial projects that I started get
involved in, and then things started coming to Atlanta. So
I did like an Army Wives episode and it's just
kind of built from there.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
So you know, if you have a good representation, you
can live almost anywhere in these days, for sure. So
I've got a beautiful film coming out in March and
in March coming up. It's called Bob Trevino likes it,
and it's with Barbara Ferreira and John leg Gazamo and
Stewart and it is kind of it has an indie
feel to it. It has won all these film festival
(26:14):
awards at one big time at south By Southwest. Anyways,
got a beautiful scene in it, and it's a beautiful film.
You're going to love.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Oh, I can't wait. I love John Zamo.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
It's really cool about it is that the woman that
wrote it and directed it, it is her personal story.
Oh and how it's really a beautiful picture of how
when we love people well we can help heal their hearts.
Kind Of cheesy, but it.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Is it's true.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Well, John Legazamo plays a different kind of character than
he usually plays.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Uh, he's Barbarie, such a such an amazing actor, and
he's an incredible theater actor like he that's where he
does a lot of work and just brilliant, just really
really brilliant.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Have you seen him on stage?
Speaker 2 (27:04):
I have not seen him live on stage, but I
have seen like bits and pieces of stuff that he's
been in and I just am always like, wow, yeah,
you're kind of a kind of an underrated I mean
not underrated, but like you know, he did some move
like super Mario Brothers and things like that that I
think people didn't take him really seriously for. But he's yeah,
he's great. Although, well, we'll definitely be looking out for that.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Where how do we watch it? Is it coming out
on a streaming service? Or how do we watch it? Oh?
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Great, Yeah, it will be in the movie theaters initially,
and then in like a week it'll have wide release.
Right okay, oh yeah, really really cool storyline. And then
the other thing I do is I speak to women's groups,
and so I had to speak to a group of
women and I realized that there was probably a kind
(27:52):
of a book that was coming out of my talk.
So I wrote my first book.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Oh it's called Oh I love it and.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
So Space to Cultivate your most flourishing and powerful self.
I'm really about seeing women thrive at any age, at
any age, I think, so I age, I'm sixty two,
and I think sometimes women kind of give up, like
they think, I don't know they Are you still dreaming?
Are you still like cultivating what is your biggest gift?
(28:21):
Are you still like feeling like you're moving forward? And
I kind of want to make sure that women feel
still inspired. My mom, you know, passed away when she
was ninety one, and even on her deathbed, she was
like encouraging us and breathing life into us at her
last breath. So just kind of one of my messages.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Oh I love women need that. We need that.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
It's oh, we really do.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
We devote so much of our lives to caring for others,
you know, our children, our spouses, our friends, and then
you reach a certain age and you kind of feel invisible.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
You know, you're kind of like, yeah, society sort of invisible.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Yeah, so we need these pep talks from you.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
This is and you know what I love to is.
I think we've had several of our female guest stars
on who are now like women empowerment, Like they do
stuff either working with like empowering women, or we've had
a couple guest stars I think mentioned stuff like this,
and I love it, Like I'm it's so awesome because again,
(29:20):
we talk about the wonderful women that we were raised
around on set, and like it just kind of goes
to show that even our guest starts, like we're just
had a really positive female influence and yeah, you guys
are I love it. I love seeing women helping each other,
you know.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Too, and genuinely supporting each other.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and to realize.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Too that like not all of us are meant for fame,
you know what I mean, Like I never became a
household name. I worked regularly for eight years in LA right,
but it's okay, like you know what I mean. It's
just about like making a difference where.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
You are, yeah, regularly.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Yeah, success if you can't fix the macro, so start
with the micro exactly.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
What's the name of your book again, I can't wait
to I want to read it called Room.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
To Bloom because I kind of envision a bloom Room
like a safe space to like really flourish, and I
kind of want to. I'm thinking about maybe even doing
a podcast and calling it the Bloom Room and women
on that are flourishing and maybe it really overcomes some
tough obstacles, but just a way to inspire and here
(30:29):
others women's stories about how they're living their best lives.
I love you should do it.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Yeah, you should please invite us to be on it,
Like yes, yes, I love this idea.

out with a dry cleaning podcast and then you then
moved into women's empowerment. Yeah, just like, look I'm an entrepreneur. Yeah, yeah,

was even a possibility.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Well, in knowing that they should have in fuller, when
Danny has a wife for like one episode or before
they get divorced, they should have brought Hurt Me back,
you know, that would have been.
Speaker 2 (32:25):

as obsessed with cleaning as he is, and she has
quite the prankster for a son. We can't wait to

(00:40):
it was like to play a guest star that is

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Hi Deborah, Oh there you are.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Hi, you good you, thank you for joining us.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I got to see Jody very very very briefly in
Los Angeles, but now I get to see you too. Andrea.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Oh yay? Where wait? Where did we run into each other?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Well? Okay, so I was filming in an episode of
Full House. Rewind Oh yes.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
That's right, and you were coming in. That's right.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
The one thing you like, I don't know? You like?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Lost your I think you lost your wallet?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Oh yeah, the something I couldn't find I didn't like. Yeah,
it was I I left the house and I had
taken my wallet out of my purse and it was
like only street parking, so I had to ask, can
you pay for my street park Like it was just
one of like a stupid thing, but it was like
I just didn't and then I was like going to
do a bunch of other stuff. So I was probably
in a tizzy that I didn't have my my wallet.
(01:40):
But yes, I do remember that. That was so fun
very much.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
You get tizzy when I don't have my wallet, right,
But we just watched uh, Terror in Tanner Town last night,
and we just recapped that episode. Oh my goodness, your
first episode on Full House outstanding. You meet Cindy and
Rusty who are just quite the duo.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Or wow, Cindy, she's really yeah, really struggling.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
That was an episode. Yeah, yeah, sorry, especially with you, Stephanie.
That was rough. He really uh hard time.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah, but I think stuff gets him back in a
particular episode, so we're gonna be all right. But but yeah,
we were just joking about that too, because I think
he says something about, you know, this means war and
stuffs like any.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Time challenge excepted.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
When I auditioned for that girls, it was like I
walked in and they paired us up with kids. Oh right,
like certain auditions you've had, like and they just kind
of like forever live in your mind and memory. Yeah, yeah,
with them, because when I met that kid, I was
engaged at the time, but I didn't have any children,
and I looked at him and I was like, I mean,
if I had a kid, it wouldn't be him, right,
(02:48):
Oh yes, I just thought we resembled each other. And
we got to audition together.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
It was so fun working with him, and we were
all like, both of us were the newbies on the sete.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yeah, so there's some comfort in that, which is great.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Oh no. We were talking about what a great job
Jordan did playing just an absolutely like terrible kid that
you you know, a character you love to hate exactly exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
That's a fine line, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Right, Yeah, very much. Now did you audition like separately
first and then get called back to do readings with
the kids or were they just sort of like you
you read together, right, right? It was like that, Okay, yeah,
and I remember those days.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
And so then we went out in the hall and
kind of like you know, quick run through, get to
know each other, and then we were in and I
just remember we had fun. Yeah, you know, I think
you know, you've had a good audition, especially for a
project like this. I was like, that was fun. You know,
Joe was in there, and I think Bob was in there,
and there was this chemistry and fun and yeah, I
got a strong maternal instinct even before I was a mom,
(03:49):
So that was just it was a whole lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Oh yeah, no, you were a great mom. Like when
you grabbed his face and like we're going to talk that,
I was like, I remember my mom doing that, you
know what I mean, like just the arab of the chin.
You're like, oh no, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Did you audition? Was it a scene from that episode
or was it just a random scene that Jeff had
given you? Do you remember?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I think it was two scenes. I think it was
our first scene because I think they wanted to see
how Bob and I would.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
You know, chemistry read for you guys, yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Artonizing right, right, So it was that scene and then
it was some scene with with uh with Rusty maybe
at the dinner.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Table okay, okay, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yeah, reprimand to him. I'm nervous about leaving because.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Right, you know, you know your kid and you know
that he's gonna make some trouble.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
We came up with a theory that that that maybe
she knows that her kid is kind of a terror,
and so she's like, I'm bringing him to these people's
houses and then I suddenly have to go have an
emergency the drag cleaner. I'm gonna be gone all day,
And she is just like, you know what I mean,
because we're like, what is an emergency at a drag
cleaner's What does that do?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Right?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
What is it? Where?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah? What were you doing all day at the store?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
That was so I think she was.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Like, I can't take this kid today. I'm gonna, you
know what, go meet other people?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah, right, stained from dressing.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
But I mean like something that would be like urgent, right.
I never played it like I was testing him or
testing Bob like. I played it like there was a
legit emergency.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Oh yeah, no, that's there was a legit emergency. I
just like to I go off on tangents where I
create absolutely ridiculous stories about what's really going on on
full House. Uh yeah, and it's usually has nothing to
do with what's actually happening.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
But I'm sure you're talking some really great storylines. I'd
like to hear some.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Oh oh, just ridiculous stuff. Yeah, do you remember your
first day on set with everybody? I mean you kind
you met jor first you guys had that the audition together,
so that was kind of nice at least, But do
you remember like coming on to set, were you nervous?
Was it overwhelming?
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Or I will say, like, you guys were such a family,
and the beauty of that is like you were this
super fun family, but also like you are truly the
new kid on the block. So anytime as you're showing
up to do like a guest spot or something, you
are the new kid in the block, and you're also
the pressures on to do a good job. Right. But
everybody I remember, like Bob and Dave literally never stopped
(06:32):
cracking each other out. Never just never caught. That was
one of my initial impressions. Also, Okay, I'm going to
ask you this, and I hope I'm not overstepping, but
I think that maybe did John ever date Paula Abdu Yes,
she was.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Yeah, Paula was around. That's why her posters on DJ's wall.
Paula was around a bunch during the fourteenth I.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Always wondered because there was some sort of joke that
Bob made to John and kind of a nod to
the poster and I was too new to right, But no,
I just remember like going, you know, to lunch. You know,
it's like when you're in the middle school and you're
going to the lunch, right, everybody was great, Everybody was welcoming,
(07:16):
good and truly, like Bob felt super safe. I remember
I was engaged to my husband when I did the show.
People would ask him like, oh, are you threatened that,
you know, Debra has to like kiss Bob Sacket, And
my husband was like, it's America's.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Right, Yeah, it's not. Yeah, it's okay, yeah, because he
just he had a sense of trust with him for sure.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Oh yeah, you guys had such great chemistry too, with
the flirting with the martinizing, like it was just you're
so perfect for.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Each other, and actually cast what martinizing means, so that
we yeah, it's it's just.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Well, I'm kind of confused, but I think it's just
another word for dry cleaning, but maybe in like an
enviolment to leave friendly way.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Lightly sexier words, right, Yeah, yeah, because argonizing.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
It was impressive, right, impressive? Yeah, yeah, then had you
worked with.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Like on sets with a lot of kids before, because
that was you know, sometimes actors have done a lot
of more single cam stuff or more like you know,
adult tell not adult Healvin, but like, you know, not
casts with a lot of kids. And we were very
kid heavy. Lots of kids.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Dogs, yeah, exactly, dogs. Talks. They say, don't ever act
with kids or talks. Yeah, but well pretty well, I
would say, Okay, two things helped me. One is I
had done a whole lot of theater, so I love
the stage and you know it's a little scarier, but
it's so alive. Yeah, audience, So I love that. I
love the fact that there was The schedule was so great,
(08:53):
like the table reads on Monday and then by Friday
year sho would be for a live audience. It's just
a it's a really nice schedule. But also I've always
loved kids. I had a lot of nieces and nephews.
I'm one of seven children. Oh wow. In college I
played Maria in the Sound of Music and had like
the best time. So kids, I love playing them out
(09:17):
a blast.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Yeah. No, our and our set was definitely when the
Olsen Twins were you know, we had the baby wrangler
Adria later off stage feeding them lines, and so that's
it can get a little tedious at times, trying to
like reshoot that again and again and you know, make
sure Adrian is not in the shot and that the
eyeline is correct. You know, it's it's it's a it's
a process.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
It's different than other sets. Haven't worked with kids before.
You know, a lot of people adults are like, oh
my god, this is the stakes forever, and you're like, yeah,
it does, yeah, it does belong.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
But there's also kind of like a beautiful humanity about it.
You know, Yeah, we've got to slow down, We've got
to let them do it again. Right, You've got to
create an environment where they feel particularly safe. Yeah, you
actually su with my daughter and that was like one
of my biggest values was create a safe space kids.
And if you don't feel safe, you can't experiment. And
(10:10):
that's where created flows from. So make a safe space.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
We talked. We talked about that a lot. How Full
House was a really unique set in that it was
an incredibly safe space, and so many you know, shows
and things weren't that at the time. They had you know,
terrible showrunners or you know, just people that screamed. And yeah,
and we just really had a very safe family set
(10:37):
to to you know, top to bottom, crew to cast.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Do you credit that to the leadership or to the
cast or.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, all of that, I think all of it.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
I think it starts at the top. Jeff is with
Jeff Franklin.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Jeff was very conscientious of like the parents and the
kids and not you know, and he's pretty like, you know, mellow,
easy going. He has his moments when he's fighting for something,
but he's that. He was not a showrunner that's screaming
and yelling at everybody, and you know, and so him
(11:12):
and then the adults on the show, you know, Bob
and Dave and John and Laurie, they're also very family people,
like family is important to them, kids are important to them,
and so it was just the nature of who they
were also, you know, and then our parents were there,
Like it was just all of it. It was everyone
(11:33):
you felt looked out for, You felt safe, You felt
like everyone cared about you.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
So yeah, and you wonder if ahead of time, if
they really thought through that or did they just get
really fortunate that, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I think we just got really fortunate. I always say,
like Full House sort of just was like this little
sprinkle of some sort of magic dust that made it
an environment that was really unlike most sets. Yeah so,
and it was just a matter of like, you know,
and the reason we're still all friends thirty eight years later,
(12:09):
you know, is because we just clicked as a family,
like something about all of us just fit together really nicely.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
It's got to feel so good because I get this
a little bit, you know, how about the grocery store.
Maybe somebody thinks they know me and then we you know,
we trace a factor full House and so many people
are so the heartwarming responses that I get, or how
much the show like almost ministered to them, like touch
(12:41):
them so deeply, encourage them so deeply. They always could
trust the message. They could always trust what was going
to be communicated. It's that's a really a gift to
be part of.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah, We've had it's been a real pleasure to hear
so many guest stars, I mean, everyone pretty much that's
come on the show has, you know, said it was
one of the greatest guest starring experiences that I had
because I just immediately felt welcome because it Ben guest
star on a show, and I've most of the time
(13:12):
everyone's super great and lovely, but it is You're like, oh,
there's that's the family people, and then I'm just kind
of the interloper, you know. But we really tried to
make everybody feel welcome and happy and yeah, and Bob
and Dave cracking each other up constantly was I mean
that kind of set the tone also for just we
were just playing and being silly.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
And I'm sure a lot of those jokes were probably
written into the show.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Really, probably a lot worked because they were things that
you couldn't write into a family television show. Yeah, there
was a lot of that that went right over our
heads as kids.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
But our moms would sit in the bleachers and the
audience bleachers during rehearsals, and so every once in a
while they'd be like, Bob that the kids are on
you guys.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Yeah, you know, yeah, and they were like, sorry, mom, sorry,
you know it was but again, they were like so
sweet about you know. They It wasn't like some actors
that would have been like, oh shit, you know, who
are these moms telling me what to do? No, it
was like oh sorry mom, you know, right, right, right, yeah,
so but yeah, oh, Bob and Dave were constant, just constant.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
So, Deborah, you did three episodes of Full House, right,
did you know when you auditioned that you were going
to be coming back a few times or was it
Did you think it was just going to be a
one time appearance.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
I thought it was gonna be a one time appearance.
You know, it's the actor. You don't always know. Yeah,
and I don't know if those other episodes had been
written yet, So I was so so grateful. You know,
first one was Terror in Tanner Town, and then it
was New Year's Eve, and then it was a Secret Admirer,
which is my favorite for it.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Oh my gosh, everyone so many people loves that.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Episode, love that episode.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
We just we recreated it Andrey and I recently, Yeah, we.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
On on the podcast. We were we were all Jody
and I split up the characters, so we did all
of the characters, everybody.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
And we but we couldn't play ourselves. We had to
play each other. So we played each other and like
four other characters. But it was such a complicated thing
because because you're reading the voiceovers, which is Resti's words,
but as the oh, yeah, I was like, this is
I don't know who I am anymore? But it was
(15:37):
really it was really fun. But we did that episode.
We asked our audience, like, which one, you know, would
you want us to do? What episode should we recreate
and play all of the characters, And that was the one.
It was a great episode. I can't wait to watch
that one.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Oh, I can't wait for Andrea coming down the stairs
taking the Jesse's hot for you and you're rocking the lips.
That's it's iconic.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, Kimmy, Kimmy, there was no shortage of confidence there.
She was. Of course, Jesse's in love with me, right,
I believe this?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah? So yeah, that was such a fun episode.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Now probably know that they actually wanted Bob and Cindy,
Danny and Cindy to get married. And it's one of
my life regrets. Girls, Oh, I need me to become
a series regular, which I've never I've been a recurring
character on a number of different shows, but I've never
been like a series regular. There was another series that
(16:40):
they were going to create from a guess but I did.
But anyways, I regret it because it would have been
so much fun. Yeah, we've had more time.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
But hey, I mean, so, wait, why do you regret it?
Was it your decision not to come back, or was
it like a creative decision They just said, oh, we're
going to break them up. No.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
What was kind of weird is so my agents approached
me and they said, they want you to be a
series regular. They want you to get married to Danny.
Oh my, this is like regular, and like the contract
was sent and my agents thought that you know, there
was it was a big cast, right, I mean.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Yeah, yeah, we grow exponentially, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
They thought that I would get lost, They thought that
I feature film career, and I think that they didn't
realize what a good fit it would have been.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Oh yeah, you know what I mean, that would have
been an amazing an amazing marriage. You know that. Oh man,
you guys had such great chemistry.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Well, you know, it's fullhouse always kind of got judged
and critiqued by you know, the industry and critics and
what it was. It was a show for the fans,
for families, and and we sort of lived in that.
But yeah, a lot of agents would have probably been like, oh,
that's a you know, sort of geese sitcom. You have
this to do, you know, but wow, we never knew
(18:06):
I never knew this.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
This is We didn't know that you were going to
get fuller house out of it, you know what I mean. No,
But what's weird is like this happens on shows, like
you get really invested in a certain character, right, and
then the actor isn't available or something, so suddenly they're
just yeah, so where did Cindy go? Yeah? Is there ever?
Like well, conversation was there's just a new girl.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Maybe she had maybe she had to leave San Francisco.
Maybe Rusty was really getting involved in some in some
unfortunate business in San Francisco, and she was like, we
need to move out of here. Yeah, and she she
sold the dry cleaning business, opened another dry cleaning business,
uh somewhere just kind of outside Palo Alto, right before
it was expensive though, and yeah, and she has been
(18:53):
living there and uh and Rusty uh became a total
tech nerd.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
So yeah, there were and you know who she married,
Henry Martin.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Henry Martin, Yeah, yeah, she married. Yeah, randomly popped into
her store and she was like, oh martinizing and he
was like, oh my god, no one knows me. And
it was love at first sight and that's what happened. Yeah,
it's great love, lovely story.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
This is what we do, like, this is how we
amuse ourselves.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
No more tonight, that's it.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
It been so fun, though, to have you as a
series regular and to be with us all the time,
that would have been a great fit.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
But it would have been fun. I actually didn't need that.
With Candace Cameron maybe ten years ago. It was a
women's event and she spoke and I sang, and I'd
written a song and I got like some dancer girls
to dance behind me. Anyways, I mean a great kind
of you know, reconnection. Yeah, it would have been fun.
(19:53):
It would have been fun. Girls.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Wow, I always thought that, oh gosh, Vicky was the
only a potential uh marriage for Danny. Yeah, this would
have changed.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
This would have changed the whole trajectory a step brother. Yeah,
that would be Can you imagine Rusty moving into the
whole house?
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Like that would be drama, right, I mean, particularly after
the scene where Steph, wait, what.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Did you is that weird?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
He did?
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Yes, he tried to kiss you in New Year's Well, yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
That's that's he That's what I was saying I was
literally like, and it gets weirder because Steph whites the
onion and then kisses him on New Year's so like
that's sort of weird. Like you know what I mean.
If he moves in as the step brother. Oh okay, yeah,
you know, things get a little weird. Can't share room
with anybody. You can build an addition onto the house.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
You go, can we do that? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Absolutely, this room at the backyard, this house is possible
only through uh the non observation of physics because shape shifts.
Like our first question was why did Cindy there's a
doorbell on the back door, Why does she come to
the back.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
You're you enter from the back door. That's your first entrance.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
And it's like, yeah, wouldn't I say, like, are we
already that familiar? Have I been there before?
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I mean, yeah, I'm you're delivering it's been two weeks.
But your first appearance on the show his dry cleaning, right,
but you had but you met two weeks ago, a
whole two weeks, that's what he says in the show.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Maybe I had been delivering his dry cleaning for a while.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Well, it used to be Julio. See it used to
be Julio and then you took them literally, that's in
the script. I'm not just making some random stuff up
the time, but you never know. But no, that was
that was what happened. But that was my My shock
was that Danny goes, Yeah, well two weeks ago, and
I was like two weeks You guys are very cose,
(21:59):
like yeah, okay in.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
The kitchen, yeah, very cood.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Yeah, it was things were moving fast. I mean I
see now they were going to get married. You know,
you just felt right ye yeah, yep.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
You guys were so good together. Did you ever see
Bob after you finished doing the Full House episodes? Did
you see him again years later? No?
Speaker 3 (22:20):
No, I could love to, but I never did.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, he's absolutely.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Broke on all that.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yeah, we talk about him a lot. We keep his
spirit alive, cracking inappropriate jokes. Jody loves to constantly make
an inappropriate comment.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah, there's one to be made, I'll make it. So
that was kind of like Bob.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Yeah, totally totally. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Oh all of America, but in a special way to
you girls. Pretty sweet.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah, yeah, we got you know, getting to come back
and do Fuller and like really experience sort of all
of this over the past thirty plus years has been
pretty awesome. And even you know, it's always crazy to
me because the fans are so incredibly invested in the show,
Like they recognize people who were in four episodes or five,
(23:13):
you know, like they're just so like, oh, this was everything.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
And I.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Love that about our fans. It's really.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Too No. I have a couple of girls that follow
me because they're so passionate about the show. Oh, that's
our connection. And when they found out I was meeting
with you girls, they were like, oh, that's so nice.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Ah. When do you get recognized for the most when
you're out and about is it full House? Is it
another project that you loved?
Speaker 3 (23:47):
It's so funny. It kind of depends on where I am. Oh, okay,
like if I'm if I'm in a place where there's
a lot of like females, young females like maybe in
their thirties. Full House, full House Now Atlanta Airport. I
was a recurring character on a Tyler Perry series, okay,
(24:08):
and you would have thought, like the storyline was so important,
Like they thought that I played the obstetrician, the baby doctor, right,
they thought that the DNA. So it was like a
cool storyline and everybody was, like you said, very invested,
very invested.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Audience.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
People would be coming up to me asking you, asking
me like, did you switch the DNA. I'm like, oh,
time will tell.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
So there was a lot of that. And then I
did a film with Tyler Perry. Excuse me, I did
a film with Terry Bradshaw. The film Just It did well.
It's super fun. I played Terry Bradshaw's wife and they
played a lot on airlines and so people recognize me
for that too.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
What's what's the title?
Speaker 3 (24:54):
What was it called Figures?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah? Figures? Oh yeah, we mentioned that.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Okay, I'll look on my next flight. I'm gonna look
in the menu.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
And Glenn Close, Glenn Close is amazing in it. I
mean it's about two brothers trying to find their biological
dad and I'm married to Terry Bradshaw, which is hysterical. Oh,
it's fun. It was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
So cool. Oh that's great.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
And you're still acting to this day. Yeah, you're still
I mean, you love I just loved it.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
I love it. Atlanta has been a really great place
to be. When we first moved here as kind of like, oh,
I guess I'm done with that, like number acting. And
then there was like industrial projects that I started get
involved in, and then things started coming to Atlanta. So
I did like an Army Wives episode and it's just
kind of built from there.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
So you know, if you have a good representation, you
can live almost anywhere in these days, for sure. So
I've got a beautiful film coming out in March and
in March coming up. It's called Bob Trevino likes it,
and it's with Barbara Ferreira and John leg Gazamo and
Stewart and it is kind of it has an indie
feel to it. It has won all these film festival
(26:14):
awards at one big time at south By Southwest. Anyways,
got a beautiful scene in it, and it's a beautiful film.
You're going to love.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Oh, I can't wait. I love John Zamo.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
It's really cool about it is that the woman that
wrote it and directed it, it is her personal story.
Oh and how it's really a beautiful picture of how
when we love people well we can help heal their hearts.
Kind Of cheesy, but it.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Is it's true.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Well, John Legazamo plays a different kind of character than
he usually plays.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Uh, he's Barbarie, such a such an amazing actor, and
he's an incredible theater actor like he that's where he
does a lot of work and just brilliant, just really
really brilliant.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Have you seen him on stage?
Speaker 2 (27:04):
I have not seen him live on stage, but I
have seen like bits and pieces of stuff that he's
been in and I just am always like, wow, yeah,
you're kind of a kind of an underrated I mean
not underrated, but like you know, he did some move
like super Mario Brothers and things like that that I
think people didn't take him really seriously for. But he's yeah,
he's great. Although, well, we'll definitely be looking out for that.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Where how do we watch it? Is it coming out
on a streaming service? Or how do we watch it? Oh?
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Great, Yeah, it will be in the movie theaters initially,
and then in like a week it'll have wide release.
Right okay, oh yeah, really really cool storyline. And then
the other thing I do is I speak to women's groups,
and so I had to speak to a group of
women and I realized that there was probably a kind
(27:52):
of a book that was coming out of my talk.
So I wrote my first book.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Oh it's called Oh I love it and.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
So Space to Cultivate your most flourishing and powerful self.
I'm really about seeing women thrive at any age, at
any age, I think, so I age, I'm sixty two,
and I think sometimes women kind of give up, like
they think, I don't know they Are you still dreaming?
Are you still like cultivating what is your biggest gift?
(28:21):
Are you still like feeling like you're moving forward? And
I kind of want to make sure that women feel
still inspired. My mom, you know, passed away when she
was ninety one, and even on her deathbed, she was
like encouraging us and breathing life into us at her
last breath. So just kind of one of my messages.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Oh I love women need that. We need that.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
It's oh, we really do.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
We devote so much of our lives to caring for others,
you know, our children, our spouses, our friends, and then
you reach a certain age and you kind of feel invisible.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
You know, you're kind of like, yeah, society sort of invisible.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Yeah, so we need these pep talks from you.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
This is and you know what I love to is.
I think we've had several of our female guest stars
on who are now like women empowerment, Like they do
stuff either working with like empowering women, or we've had
a couple guest stars I think mentioned stuff like this,
and I love it, Like I'm it's so awesome because again,
(29:20):
we talk about the wonderful women that we were raised
around on set, and like it just kind of goes
to show that even our guest starts, like we're just
had a really positive female influence and yeah, you guys
are I love it. I love seeing women helping each other,
you know.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Too, and genuinely supporting each other.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and to realize.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Too that like not all of us are meant for fame,
you know what I mean, Like I never became a
household name. I worked regularly for eight years in LA right,
but it's okay, like you know what I mean. It's
just about like making a difference where.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
You are, yeah, regularly.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Yeah, success if you can't fix the macro, so start
with the micro exactly.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
What's the name of your book again, I can't wait
to I want to read it called Room.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
To Bloom because I kind of envision a bloom Room
like a safe space to like really flourish, and I
kind of want to. I'm thinking about maybe even doing
a podcast and calling it the Bloom Room and women
on that are flourishing and maybe it really overcomes some
tough obstacles, but just a way to inspire and here
(30:29):
