Yeah, we had to survive them putting a gigantic mold
in your like a metal plated thing stuffed with silly putty.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Breathe through your mouth. Oh, I thought you were going
to choke. You thought it was going down your windpipe
and gonna solidify. It was off because you have to
hold it there for like three minutes, three minutes. Yeah. Yeah,
so you're like, oh, oh, it's gross awful.
Speaker 2 (05:28):

it once and that was it.

and sits in a closet in uh my kid's place
in Los Angeles.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
Uh, I mean, it's ever appropriate. Really should be in
a closet.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
It needs to be hanging on a wall. That's a
that is a that's a monument in and of itself.

You met me literally during the most difficult chapter in
my life. Now it's time for you to meet the
real me Michelle Sennie. Yes, I changed my name and
I want you to follow me on my journey to
the Pursuit of Sassiness. So much has happened to me before, during,
and after the show. Before you can really understand the
(12:45):
eight weeks that you saw on TV, I think you
have to know what was going on from the very beginning,
from being raised by two immigrant parents, paying my own
way through college and working at Hooters, to starting my
own real estate empire, getting married, having a baby during COVID,
to that very same marriage falling apart on national TV,
to losing my mom to eventually finding love again. There
(13:08):
is so much to unpack and share. I'm on the
pursuit of happiness and most importantly, I'm on the pursuit
of sassiness. Listen to Pursuit of Sasiness starting on March
seventeenth on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
So I do have I did make a book.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Are You Yellow Tucks?
Speaker 6 (13:29):
The Book All the.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Bombs from all my shows for thirty years and people
who are going, what are you? Weirdo was talking about
I would wear this dumb tucks I was working on
a show and then like, while you guys are pre
shooting something, everyone's really like into their thing, and I
slip on that dumb tux and I'd sneak in the
background and I'd go like this and I photo bomb
and most of the time people were like, what's that?
Speaker 6 (13:52):
When did we We haven't seen where the guide who's
saying I just go away and everyone goes whatever.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Was great.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
They were like it was like big Foot sightings, you
know what I mean, because you just kind of be
in the background, like, hey, yeah, it was great.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
It was fun to do. It was fun for it
was fun for the crew. Everyone got to kick out
of it. Crew guys would take the picture.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Uh yeah, so it was all beat beatle love take pictures.
I got pictures with Debra all the time, and yeah,
it was a fun. It was a whole family thing,
like like this show, I mean, and and it only
works on good shows if you got like everyone's in
a you.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Know, yeah, everyone's having fun together and like enjoying the vibe.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Yeah, so that was you guys, and that's what you know.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
It was like one But I'm going to say my
top three favorite shows I got, Well, I got a
couple that I worked on longer.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
You guys are only two years, that's true.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
You're only the Yeah, you're only the last yeah, the
last two yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
Yeah. So it's just a lot long enough to crack
into the top number one spot.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
That's okay, I'll take top three. That's you know what
I mean. But what are the other two? Like, what's like,
what else do we got to take out?
Speaker 6 (15:00):
We're going to original Reba show?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Okay and a half years.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
So that was another fun everyone hung out.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah yeah, it seems like a great show each.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Other talking on the weekends or whatever. That's super fun.
And then there's a show called True Jackson m uh
and I just everyone was. I knew every it was
the right age. That was the right age for all
the you know, like if you're the same age as
the show, people like you guys right along more with
you guys than the Elias or you know, Michael or anything.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I mean like, yeah, yeah, I was.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Well, it would probably be weird if you were hanging
out with Elias and Michael. People might go, why is
Jim hanging out with them?
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Yeah, so right, Jim's just in there playing video games.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
That I mean not to say that weird stuff doesn't
happen on a show. Is I was there from what
I heard. I wasn't there early on.
Speaker 6 (15:56):
I got I came in when the new show runners started.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Yeah right, right right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
Right, And so there's some drama before me.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Oh there's always drama right right with problem. There was drama,
prop drama.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I don't think there was trauma, okay, just just in
general upheaval of changing everything over.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Yeah, yeah, were you were you prop master when there
was a fire in the prop room and we all
got evacuated.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Oh my god, that's during your reign for lot. That
wasn't you looking? That was the other guy?
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Okay, well maybe that's why he was fired and you
had to come in because there was a fire in
the prop room.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Mostly you're you're you had a security guy.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right, and I and
I think he was the one that like that was like, hey,
something's on fire, and and we all thought, wait, you
probably remember the story about I don't know why I'm
not remembering all the details right now, but it was.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
It was during an episode where John Stamos was was
a guest start that week, and he he was doing
crazy stuff in the kitchen as Uncle Jesse does, and
there was something where the fire alarm there's like a
fire in the kitchen and the fire alarm in the
house is supposed to go off. So when we smelled smoke,
we were like, oh, they're just testing that seat.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Nobody paid attention the fire alarms going off. It was God,
that's right. I remember. It was like b and we're
like rehearsing down the stage like that's somebody's gonna do
with that, not paying attention. And then all of a sudden,
like I.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Just Chris Jensen was like okay, everybody we're at like
just cleared everyone out and we were like, oh wait,
it's really on fire and yelling.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
At the sound guy, guys, we're going to turn that down.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Well.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
And Chris Jensen, who's just the most cool headed person,
he's our first dad. Uh, he was just He's the
person you want in an emergency because he did not panic.
He was just like, okay, everyone, if I can have
you exit this way, and you have to go out
these elephant doors.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Not those elephant doors right there. Something you want to
be like your your flight attendant, you know what I mean?
Like if stuff goes to south, you want someone like that.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
Really he's very good. He's great with you actors because
you're very sensitive. Don't want to get the actors.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
No, no, we have to be invited to set. We
can't be told that it's time to come down. We
have to They have to invite us. You're being invited.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I'm like, I'm not. An invitation implies that I could
say no. Why do they say it like that? Is
that because it's because actors are sensitive little creatures, so
they have to we're not. Well, we're not.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
But I didn't know if they were just trying to
keep us out of their hair while they set up
the lighting and the thing and the thing and the thing,
and so then they're like, oh, you're invited to set now,
rather than saying get down here, Jody, Like, it's a
nicer way of just being like you're invited to see.
Speaker 10 (18:49):
Well, it is.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
It's a nicer way.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
But I think it's also like I think there are
probably those people that are like you can't tell me
what to do, and so if you invite them, it
gives it again. They they're like, I could say no,
but I'm gonna say yes.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
And then that's I think that's it.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
I'm just going to start inviting my children to do
You're invited to the dinner table.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
And they go, who whoa, whoa? You were not invited?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Right, Yeah, I'm sorry you're you weren't on the list. Yeah,
I'm sorry. What what did catch on fire?
Speaker 6 (19:18):
Though?
Speaker 4 (19:21):
The kitchen in there that has stolen everything and we have, yeah,
got all that stuff, So I'm gonna.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
Assume it was something illegal. Let's just make it more excited.
It was.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Yeah, it was definitely something explosive. They got smart after
a while and just took the fire alarms out. It
was much easier.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
That Proper room, man, that like it is just such
a it is such a cool and bizarre place, like wow,
there's so much to look at.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
You don't know where to look like you're like, oh,
I remember that.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Place, proper room for actors and people just to meet
outside craft service and like the corner where room was
coming from here and there.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
It's a great little meeting spot too.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Oh it was perfect, fantastic.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Yeah, do you organize, like do you have an organizational
system for your props in the prop room or.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Do you just like kind of throw stuff from evolves? O?
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Well, like like I came in second like the last
two years, right, so some other guy who's already there,
certain things were already kind of where they had already
thought about.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Right, and then he lit things on fire and then
that was that.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
After the fire. Yeah, right, yeah, there's a clean slight
for me. I can do what I want. But no,
it's it just kind of evolves as you use stuff
and then you change.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
You figure out what shows use more of this, So
you got more kitchen stuff here and mar shows and
you know it was like how many mugs can you
guys have?
Speaker 6 (20:41):
Not enough? Is what?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
I So many mugs, so many mugs. Yeah, I still
have my mugs. I had my my s mug yeah
that we used on the show.
Speaker 6 (20:50):
That's right. Yeah, you stole that and you stole your
sailor gut I did.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
I stole the sea pappy head the marriage right off,
just right off his body.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
And then I got caught and they told me that
I couldn't do that, and then I had to return
it and wait.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
For it later. There was a lot of thievery at
the end of the show.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Oh Pape was wild people before Market.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Free for All.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
It was.
Speaker 2 (21:17):

like that over there.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
I'm taking it. I'm taking and it was like curtain call.
Just yard sale, you know what I mean, like just people,
I'm ripping.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
I took stuff off the walls, mugs see pappy head

Was it Coral or line producer who was walking up
and down the dressing room hall looking for you.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
He's seen Joe. Yeah, I don't know. They were for
me and I was like, go go go get in
the trunk. Yeah I got caught.
Speaker 4 (22:09):

Speaker 6 (22:10):
I think there was a fight for the front door.
I remember that. Well, want that Steve, Yeah, Steve Kowski
with the show runners wanted it. But so he goes,
how do I get this home.
Speaker 9 (22:23):
I go.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
So I got the Teamster to take it over to
Steve's house and then this is uh and then word
comes down and goes.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
Amos wants it or I'm like like what do you
what do you want?
Speaker 4 (22:34):
They go send the Kingster back and came back over here,
so go get the get the and then Steve Baldy
healthy comes down and goes.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
Stas wanted it.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're know this. I never knew that.
I didn't know it either. I didn't know he got
the he got the couch and the doors. John did.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
Yeah, I don't know if you know this. There was
a double for the Little Sailorman because it broke in
one episode.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Well that's I have the double. I have the styrofoam head.
Original one was the wood.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I took the styrofoam head because it was just they
had just stuck it back on the body and I
was like, well that's easy enough to.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
The original one, the original Seapappy he was, don't till John,
I'll steal that too.
Speaker 6 (23:23):
On switch. He just got me into this. I didn't.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
He was really great. He's like, look I just handle
the props. I'm not I'm not here. I'm not I'm
not the auctioneer. I'm not the one that makes these decisions.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
That was so fun. No one was like weird me
about it was just super fun.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Oh you should have heard what happened. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 10 (23:44):
It was it was.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
It was a fight. It was really awful.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Restraining orders just against the sea Pappy though, we had
to keep him away from people. Yeah, it's worth every worth, every.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Moment of it. I would have back to how you got.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I'm always fascinated by everybody who like gets into this
business and stays in it for thirty years doing I mean,
we're such an odd little crew of people and I
love it and it's so wonderful. But like art department
and props, I just always find to have a special
place in my heart for being who like the most
(24:21):
off the wall creative, Like I need to build something
and it leads to look like this, and you're like.
Speaker 10 (24:27):
Okay, welcome to casual chaos, where I'm telling my story unfiltered, unedited,
and unapologetic for a moment you didn't see on camera,
(24:47):
to secrets nobody dared to spill. I'm bringing you behind
the scenes like never before. I'm talking love life, because
let's be real here, it's been a journey wellness and
the truth behind me, the headlines.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
And of course I've got the receipts.
Speaker 10 (25:04):
Plus I'll be sitting down with some of the biggest
names in pop culture for casually chaotic conversations you won't
hear anywhere else. So pour yourself and espresso martini and
get ready because once you start listening, you'll be waking
up in the morning thinking about so many things. Listen
to Casual Chaos starting on March twenty fourth on the
(25:26):
iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
Yeah, it's a weird it's a weird thing.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
It's a I mean I got into it because you know,
I was gonna came into town from Cleveland, Ohio.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
It was gonna be a I was gonna write, you
gonna do it, let's be a writer. I didn't know
anybody or where to go, what to do.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
So you just kind of like meet people and they say, hey,
work on this thing with me, and I'm like you
start doing it, and you're going like, I'll.
Speaker 6 (25:59):
Breaking it this. I could do props, and so I
fell into the prop thing and then once you get.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Going, you're like going, like, wait, if I get in
the union to get paid a lot of money, you
could do that.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
And then you know it's just I think you there's
a temperament. I mean, you could say it's a stereotype,
but each department is a certain type of human.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Right, absolutely, absolutely, And it.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
Seems pretty consistent. Showed a show.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Yeah, so you're like, like, I getting the props. You've
got to have a good uh temperament to get along
with people and to work very hard on something as
quick as possible and make it look good for a
very short amount of time, just long enough for it
to be on camera and then be able to have
someone go like that's the wrong size and I want
(26:45):
it smaller and bigger and two mo those and four
of those.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
You got to be not take it personally, throw your
genius in the garbage.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
You can go make more genius and move just be
able to move from thing to thing, to think to
thing and not be invested.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
In any of the things.
Speaker 8 (27:00):
So people say like, wait, what's your favorite prop that
you saved because you know you cherish it so much
and blah blah blah, And I'll go like by the
time that Steve was over, I hated all the pro.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
I never wanted to see him again, right, want to
see him again.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
I just always remember the root.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
The one that always stands out for me is the
Rube Goldberg machine that you had to build for.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
Elias ring a bell writer's name.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Steve said. He was like Steve, he was like Jim,
spend all weekend on that stupid thing. Can't even imagine? Yeah,
can you be an engineer this weekend, just for a
couple of days, right, I don't if.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
You remember the Okay go video?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Yes, I love those videos. They're amazing, amazing, and so
people go, you know, like that, but it's small, oh right,
because that didn't take them months and months to figure out.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
But I researched that and it was they had four
JPL engineers on it for three months. I'm like, guy,
this is also Cameron's fault because that was her first
directing job. That episode was I think.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Oh okay.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
And so Steve and Brian, two showrunners, come to go
we'll do this this.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
I go, that's great. We have a prop meeting, you know,
we have a reproduction. I bring out props to show
them to people and they go, yeah, it's some of those,
some of that, and I go, okay, so well, I'll
make this up and you know, we'll shoot the first
half and it'll fall and then to cut away to
a actor's response and they're like, oh, and then you
set it up again and do it in pieces, right,
(28:37):
so it didn't all have to go at the same time.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
That's magic. There's Cameron's first time.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
I think they could be better if she didn't have
to try to figure out what shots sick thing.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
We just shoot in one gosh, but we don't have
that's why we have four cameras.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Jo editing right, do you love me?
Speaker 6 (29:04):
So?
Speaker 4 (29:05):
So it's not her fault obviously, but it was like
their idea was like this and so oh, I know
they've got another Bob Saggat story too. So we're doing
it in rehearsal and it's not working and they're always stopping.
There's a little mistake here and there, and I think
we got it to go perfectly once.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
That sounds about right for one of them, which it
was fine, but in.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Between there I'm setting it up, I set up, and
I run back and I'm like this, I can't remember,
come on, come on, come on, come on, and I'm
over here and there's a Bob and so I think
it was with Lori. There were Yeah, they were standing
off to the side kind of watching it. Amused like, no,
this is right, and he turns to her and.
Speaker 6 (29:46):
Goes, well, the guy's funny, though, like wait, I'll take it.
I'll take it now. He was just saying he's not
could be able to do this, but at least it's funny,
Like I'll take a funny from Bob Stagger any.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Day, compliment. Yes, indeed, absolutely so.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
Yeah, that's that was the hell of a thing.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
Would you say that was your most difficult task while
you were on Fuller House is the rope Goldberg?
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Yeah I would.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
And so I got a guy who helps me build stuff,
Like you know, guy, he's a great artist, great sculptor,
is great. So I'm like, okay, you got to come
help me out with this thing, and he goes, he goes, okay, yeah, sure.
We sit there at his house for two days like
trying to build it. It's just not working.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
And I realized I'm like, oh no, he's an artist,
he's a right brainer.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I need it. You need an engineer, you need an engineer.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Not right, He's going to make it look beautiful and
really cool and do some cool stuff, but an engineer
will actually make it work.
Speaker 6 (30:52):
So wasted two days, but you're right, he paid it
It up.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Looks great, yeah, yeah, gorgeous on the outside, but like
the function reality of it probably not as much.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
Was a disaster.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
I mean it was fine, and then I watched the show.
You watched the episode cut back and forth between everything.
They never used that shot of.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Course, of course, go figure. It's just it was just
all that get you frustrated.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Yeah, that was it.
Speaker 6 (31:17):
They were all laughing behind my back.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Well, we appreciated your genius and your hard work that.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Week, so nobody else. We had gone down in legend
that that and the signing.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
Of the props that I oh yes, we talked about
that with with Steve.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
We told the story of Jody and the props.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
Came on, crushed every destroyed all the props. She wrote
joy on everything.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
And then that was just amazing.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
I was like, I am so sorry, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 6 (31:50):
That was so bad.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
That would also be right, Yes, that was also legend.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
Yes, do you remember if you guys had to go
out and just get all new props, or were you
able to scrub the sharpie off of the football.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
The foam finger. I would imagine the foam finger is done.
Speaker 6 (32:08):
Luckily we had your props. You always have two or
three or four whatever it is, because you never know
if it's not. Most people don't intentionally right on your stuff.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
But a lot of times things will tear going through
a win somebody if after drops something in a scene
and you gotta reshoot.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
It, you have to have more, right.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
You almost always have a backups of at least a couple,
not two or three or four, unless it's a very
special thing.
Speaker 6 (32:32):
I didn't make a backup of the Goldberg machine, just
two of those.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
In case going yeah yeah, here's another option, I.
Speaker 6 (32:38):
Just yeah, yeah, So here's always got back.
Speaker 7 (32:40):
You've always got double dribbles, they say the business if
you if you have one, you have none, because you
only have one, you might as well just not even
have any, because but you get halfway through the shot,
and then if you lose it or break it, you
can't you ruined the whole thing.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
If you don't even have it. They're like, what happened
to the If.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
You don't have it, you got to work around and
create something else.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
If you do, they're like, oh yeah, no, do that
and then it breaks and they're like, now everything is
all continuity is wasted.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
Yeah, that's the beauty of the sitcom that we do.
The state fun stuff like a full House or or
you know, the fun sitcom stuff. They're fun to do.
It's it's a little chilly. You can get away with,
you know, doing something a little over the top. I think,
I mean, speaking of over the top, Kimmy Gibbler pretty
(33:31):
over there, I mean that.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
One and that character Kimmy Gibbler House. Yes, oh, the
Gibbler House, the Gibbler House.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (33:40):
And that's like what I when I came in.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
Like, there's two episodes, two seasons left that I come
in for the last few seasons.
Speaker 6 (33:46):
So show up. I watch a couple I was in
a full house person growing up. Sorry as watch either
were we.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
That's why we're doing this podcast because we never watched
the show.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
And so I watched a few and I go, okay,
kind of you know, funny is quirky, give whatever?
Speaker 4 (34:01):
And uh so that I did not realize the vast
trove of Kimmy Gibbler items.
Speaker 6 (34:06):
That I was gonna be ow upon me, and it
was like, why is she do She's what am I?
Speaker 1 (34:13):
They go like all these things.
Speaker 6 (34:15):
Yeah, Kimmy Gibler walks in with a book. I go, okay,
show no Kimmy Gibler book. So it's like a wild thing.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Like well, I remember, I think Jody and I were
giving you ideas too.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
We're like, we need an Ostrich or we need a
picture of an Ostrich. Oh that's right for the Gibbler house. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Yeah, you made or created or something a big portrait.
Play a life sized portrait of an Ostrich.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Yeah, on the wall. I mean, as you would memorialize
a beloved pet. Yes, Gibler lore.
Speaker 6 (34:46):
You know.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
Well that's the fun part is that when you're working,
you know, you do the basic props of whatever you're doing,
and then if you get fun people that have a
fun idea, you want to.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
Do it for them. So when you guys come, you
know what I mean. So yeah, it's extra.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
And it's like if you know, if Eliah came to
me and said I want blah blah blah, go, I
don't think so.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
You might break it.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
You're probably gonna break it, right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right,
and that wraps up part one of our interview with
Jim Falkenstein. We could ask him a million questions, from
being propmaster on Fuller to the famous yellow tucks he wears,
to working on Tombstone, working with Val Kilmer, all kinds
(35:28):
of fun stuff.
Speaker 9 (35:29):

Speaker 1 (36:08):
Nightmare. So it's the entire house is one. We've just
built it into a giant. Yeah, that's like the Doonies
Gym's worst Nightmare.
My hair is parted on a different side. I don't
even know what happened. Who are you right now? I
don't even know. I'm showered at least, and feeling so
much better. Oh thank god, Yes you were knocking on
death's door. Oh it was miserable. It was miserable.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, but no, much better now and back to like
actually getting exercise and being a normal human. And then
there's nothing like the other side of being sick, when
all of a sudden you're like, I can do anything,
and laundry.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Is exciting because you're just glad to be out of bed.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
So I have completed it.
Speaker 2 (01:31):

has been very happy.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Who needs a packing list? All you need is a
Lego set? Now you are well?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
You know what I will say, they make for very
uncomfortable underwear. But it's a little rigid, you know.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, places, it's true.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yeah, and forget about like getting it off and on,
you know what I mean. Like it takes you got
to really build yourself into it.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
So it's like a like a suit of armor kind of.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
We'll get searched at the airport. They're gonna pat you
down and be like whoa right, yeah, because.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
That won't be obvious, you know, just someone in a
full lego suit. No, no, no, this is what I
wear every day. This is fine. Yeah, it was crazy American.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Just are you a minecraft figure, ma'am? What's wrong with you?

Do that anymore. They don't do it. It's it's they
like they digitally.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yeah, we had to survive them putting a gigantic mold
in your like a metal plated thing stuffed with silly putty.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Breathe through your mouth. Oh, I thought you were going
to choke. You thought it was going down your windpipe
and gonna solidify. It was off because you have to
hold it there for like three minutes, three minutes. Yeah. Yeah,
so you're like, oh, oh, it's gross awful.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I survived so much of that between braces and jaw surgery.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, oh jeez, Well I'm glad you survived.

Speaker 6 (11:40):
Uh, I mean, it's ever appropriate. Really should be in
a closet.

It needs to be hanging on a wall. That's a
that is a that's a monument in and of itself.

You met me literally during the most difficult chapter in
my life. Now it's time for you to meet the
real me Michelle Sennie. Yes, I changed my name and
I want you to follow me on my journey to
the Pursuit of Sassiness. So much has happened to me before, during,
and after the show. Before you can really understand the
(12:45):
eight weeks that you saw on TV, I think you
have to know what was going on from the very beginning,
from being raised by two immigrant parents, paying my own
way through college and working at Hooters, to starting my
own real estate empire, getting married, having a baby during COVID,
to that very same marriage falling apart on national TV,
to losing my mom to eventually finding love again. There
(13:08):
is so much to unpack and share. I'm on the
pursuit of happiness and most importantly, I'm on the pursuit
of sassiness. Listen to Pursuit of Sasiness starting on March
seventeenth on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
So I do have I did make a book.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Are You Yellow Tucks?
Speaker 6 (13:29):
The Book All the.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Bombs from all my shows for thirty years and people
who are going, what are you? Weirdo was talking about
I would wear this dumb tucks I was working on
a show and then like, while you guys are pre
shooting something, everyone's really like into their thing, and I
slip on that dumb tux and I'd sneak in the
background and I'd go like this and I photo bomb
and most of the time people were like, what's that?
Speaker 6 (13:52):
When did we We haven't seen where the guide who's
saying I just go away and everyone goes whatever.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Was great.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
They were like it was like big Foot sightings, you
know what I mean, because you just kind of be
in the background, like, hey, yeah, it was great.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
It was fun to do. It was fun for it
was fun for the crew. Everyone got to kick out
of it. Crew guys would take the picture.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Uh yeah, so it was all beat beatle love take pictures.
I got pictures with Debra all the time, and yeah,
it was a fun. It was a whole family thing,
like like this show, I mean, and and it only
works on good shows if you got like everyone's in
a you.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Know, yeah, everyone's having fun together and like enjoying the vibe.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Yeah, so that was you guys, and that's what you know.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
It was like one But I'm going to say my
top three favorite shows I got, Well, I got a
couple that I worked on longer.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
You guys are only two years, that's true.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
You're only the Yeah, you're only the last yeah, the
last two yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
Yeah. So it's just a lot long enough to crack
into the top number one spot.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
That's okay, I'll take top three. That's you know what
I mean. But what are the other two? Like, what's like,
what else do we got to take out?
Speaker 6 (15:00):
We're going to original Reba show?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Okay and a half years.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
So that was another fun everyone hung out.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah yeah, it seems like a great show each.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Other talking on the weekends or whatever. That's super fun.
And then there's a show called True Jackson m uh
and I just everyone was. I knew every it was
the right age. That was the right age for all
the you know, like if you're the same age as
the show, people like you guys right along more with
you guys than the Elias or you know, Michael or anything.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I mean like, yeah, yeah, I was.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Well, it would probably be weird if you were hanging
out with Elias and Michael. People might go, why is
Jim hanging out with them?
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Yeah, so right, Jim's just in there playing video games.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
That I mean not to say that weird stuff doesn't
happen on a show. Is I was there from what
I heard. I wasn't there early on.
Speaker 6 (15:56):
I got I came in when the new show runners started.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Yeah right, right right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
Right, And so there's some drama before me.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Oh there's always drama right right with problem. There was drama,
prop drama.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I don't think there was trauma, okay, just just in
general upheaval of changing everything over.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Yeah, yeah, were you were you prop master when there
was a fire in the prop room and we all
got evacuated.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Oh my god, that's during your reign for lot. That
wasn't you looking? That was the other guy?
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Okay, well maybe that's why he was fired and you
had to come in because there was a fire in
the prop room.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Mostly you're you're you had a security guy.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right, and I and
I think he was the one that like that was like, hey,
something's on fire, and and we all thought, wait, you
probably remember the story about I don't know why I'm
not remembering all the details right now, but it was.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
It was during an episode where John Stamos was was
a guest start that week, and he he was doing
crazy stuff in the kitchen as Uncle Jesse does, and
there was something where the fire alarm there's like a
fire in the kitchen and the fire alarm in the
house is supposed to go off. So when we smelled smoke,
we were like, oh, they're just testing that seat.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Nobody paid attention the fire alarms going off. It was God,
that's right. I remember. It was like b and we're
like rehearsing down the stage like that's somebody's gonna do
with that, not paying attention. And then all of a sudden,
like I.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Just Chris Jensen was like okay, everybody we're at like
just cleared everyone out and we were like, oh wait,
it's really on fire and yelling.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
At the sound guy, guys, we're going to turn that down.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Well.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
And Chris Jensen, who's just the most cool headed person,
he's our first dad. Uh, he was just He's the
person you want in an emergency because he did not panic.
He was just like, okay, everyone, if I can have
you exit this way, and you have to go out
these elephant doors.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Not those elephant doors right there. Something you want to
be like your your flight attendant, you know what I mean?
Like if stuff goes to south, you want someone like that.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
Really he's very good. He's great with you actors because
you're very sensitive. Don't want to get the actors.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
No, no, we have to be invited to set. We
can't be told that it's time to come down. We
have to They have to invite us. You're being invited.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I'm like, I'm not. An invitation implies that I could
say no. Why do they say it like that? Is
that because it's because actors are sensitive little creatures, so
they have to we're not. Well, we're not.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
But I didn't know if they were just trying to
keep us out of their hair while they set up
the lighting and the thing and the thing and the thing,
and so then they're like, oh, you're invited to set now,
rather than saying get down here, Jody, Like, it's a
nicer way of just being like you're invited to see.
Speaker 10 (18:49):
Well, it is.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
It's a nicer way.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
But I think it's also like I think there are
probably those people that are like you can't tell me
what to do, and so if you invite them, it
gives it again. They they're like, I could say no,
but I'm gonna say yes.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
And then that's I think that's it.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
I'm just going to start inviting my children to do
You're invited to the dinner table.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
And they go, who whoa, whoa? You were not invited?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Right, Yeah, I'm sorry you're you weren't on the list. Yeah,
I'm sorry. What what did catch on fire?
Speaker 6 (19:18):
Though?
Speaker 4 (19:21):
The kitchen in there that has stolen everything and we have, yeah,
got all that stuff, So I'm gonna.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
Assume it was something illegal. Let's just make it more excited.
It was.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Yeah, it was definitely something explosive. They got smart after
a while and just took the fire alarms out. It
was much easier.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
That Proper room, man, that like it is just such
a it is such a cool and bizarre place, like wow,
there's so much to look at.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
You don't know where to look like you're like, oh,
I remember that.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Place, proper room for actors and people just to meet
outside craft service and like the corner where room was
coming from here and there.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
It's a great little meeting spot too.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Oh it was perfect, fantastic.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Yeah, do you organize, like do you have an organizational
system for your props in the prop room or.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Do you just like kind of throw stuff from evolves? O?
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Well, like like I came in second like the last
two years, right, so some other guy who's already there,
certain things were already kind of where they had already
thought about.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Right, and then he lit things on fire and then
that was that.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
After the fire. Yeah, right, yeah, there's a clean slight
for me. I can do what I want. But no,
it's it just kind of evolves as you use stuff
and then you change.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
You figure out what shows use more of this, So
you got more kitchen stuff here and mar shows and
you know it was like how many mugs can you
guys have?

On switch. He just got me into this. I didn't.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
He was really great. He's like, look I just handle
the props. I'm not I'm not here. I'm not I'm
not the auctioneer. I'm not the one that makes these decisions.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
That was so fun. No one was like weird me
about it was just super fun.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Oh you should have heard what happened. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 10 (23:44):
It was it was.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
It was a fight. It was really awful.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Restraining orders just against the sea Pappy though, we had
to keep him away from people. Yeah, it's worth every worth, every.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Moment of it. I would have back to how you got.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I'm always fascinated by everybody who like gets into this
business and stays in it for thirty years doing I mean,
we're such an odd little crew of people and I
love it and it's so wonderful. But like art department
and props, I just always find to have a special
place in my heart for being who like the most
(24:21):
off the wall creative, Like I need to build something
and it leads to look like this, and you're like.
Speaker 10 (24:27):
Okay, welcome to casual chaos, where I'm telling my story unfiltered, unedited,
and unapologetic for a moment you didn't see on camera,
(24:47):
to secrets nobody dared to spill. I'm bringing you behind
the scenes like never before. I'm talking love life, because
let's be real here, it's been a journey wellness and
the truth behind me, the headlines.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
And of course I've got the receipts.
Speaker 10 (25:04):
Plus I'll be sitting down with some of the biggest
names in pop culture for casually chaotic conversations you won't
hear anywhere else. So pour yourself and espresso martini and
get ready because once you start listening, you'll be waking
up in the morning thinking about so many things. Listen
to Casual Chaos starting on March twenty fourth on the
(25:26):
iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
Yeah, it's a weird it's a weird thing.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
It's a I mean I got into it because you know,
I was gonna came into town from Cleveland, Ohio.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
It was gonna be a I was gonna write, you
gonna do it, let's be a writer. I didn't know
anybody or where to go, what to do.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
So you just kind of like meet people and they say, hey,
work on this thing with me, and I'm like you
start doing it, and you're going like, I'll.
Speaker 6 (25:59):
Breaking it this. I could do props, and so I
fell into the prop thing and then once you get.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Going, you're like going, like, wait, if I get in
the union to get paid a lot of money, you
could do that.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
And then you know it's just I think you there's
a temperament. I mean, you could say it's a stereotype,
but each department is a certain type of human.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Right, absolutely, absolutely, And it.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
Seems pretty consistent. Showed a show.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Yeah, so you're like, like, I getting the props. You've
got to have a good uh temperament to get along
with people and to work very hard on something as
quick as possible and make it look good for a
very short amount of time, just long enough for it
to be on camera and then be able to have
someone go like that's the wrong size and I want
(26:45):
it smaller and bigger and two mo those and four
of those.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
You got to be not take it personally, throw your
genius in the garbage.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
You can go make more genius and move just be
able to move from thing to thing, to think to
thing and not be invested.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
In any of the things.
Speaker 8 (27:00):
So people say like, wait, what's your favorite prop that
you saved because you know you cherish it so much
and blah blah blah, And I'll go like by the
time that Steve was over, I hated all the pro.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
I never wanted to see him again, right, want to
see him again.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
I just always remember the root.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
The one that always stands out for me is the
Rube Goldberg machine that you had to build for.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
Elias ring a bell writer's name.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Steve said. He was like Steve, he was like Jim,
spend all weekend on that stupid thing. Can't even imagine? Yeah,
can you be an engineer this weekend, just for a
couple of days, right, I don't if.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
You remember the Okay go video?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Yes, I love those videos. They're amazing, amazing, and so
people go, you know, like that, but it's small, oh right,
because that didn't take them months and months to figure out.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
But I researched that and it was they had four
JPL engineers on it for three months. I'm like, guy,
this is also Cameron's fault because that was her first
directing job. That episode was I think.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Oh okay.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
And so Steve and Brian, two showrunners, come to go
we'll do this this.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
I go, that's great. We have a prop meeting, you know,
we have a reproduction. I bring out props to show
them to people and they go, yeah, it's some of those,
some of that, and I go, okay, so well, I'll
make this up and you know, we'll shoot the first
half and it'll fall and then to cut away to
a actor's response and they're like, oh, and then you
set it up again and do it in pieces, right,
(28:37):
so it didn't all have to go at the same time.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
That's magic. There's Cameron's first time.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
I think they could be better if she didn't have
to try to figure out what shots sick thing.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
We just shoot in one gosh, but we don't have
that's why we have four cameras.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Jo editing right, do you love me?
Speaker 6 (29:04):
So?
Speaker 4 (29:05):
So it's not her fault obviously, but it was like
their idea was like this and so oh, I know
they've got another Bob Saggat story too. So we're doing
it in rehearsal and it's not working and they're always stopping.
There's a little mistake here and there, and I think
we got it to go perfectly once.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
That sounds about right for one of them, which it
was fine, but in.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Between there I'm setting it up, I set up, and
I run back and I'm like this, I can't remember,
come on, come on, come on, come on, and I'm
over here and there's a Bob and so I think
it was with Lori. There were Yeah, they were standing
off to the side kind of watching it. Amused like, no,
this is right, and he turns to her and.
Speaker 6 (29:46):
Goes, well, the guy's funny, though, like wait, I'll take it.
I'll take it now. He was just saying he's not
could be able to do this, but at least it's funny,
Like I'll take a funny from Bob Stagger any.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Day, compliment. Yes, indeed, absolutely so.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
Yeah, that's that was the hell of a thing.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
Would you say that was your most difficult task while
you were on Fuller House is the rope Goldberg?
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Yeah I would.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
And so I got a guy who helps me build stuff,
Like you know, guy, he's a great artist, great sculptor,
is great. So I'm like, okay, you got to come
help me out with this thing, and he goes, he goes, okay, yeah, sure.
We sit there at his house for two days like
trying to build it. It's just not working.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
And I realized I'm like, oh no, he's an artist,
he's a right brainer.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I need it. You need an engineer, you need an engineer.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Not right, He's going to make it look beautiful and
really cool and do some cool stuff, but an engineer
will actually make it work.
Speaker 6 (30:52):
So wasted two days, but you're right, he paid it
It up.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Looks great, yeah, yeah, gorgeous on the outside, but like
the function reality of it probably not as much.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
Was a disaster.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
I mean it was fine, and then I watched the show.
You watched the episode cut back and forth between everything.
They never used that shot of.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Course, of course, go figure. It's just it was just
all that get you frustrated.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Yeah, that was it.
Speaker 6 (31:17):
They were all laughing behind my back.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Well, we appreciated your genius and your hard work that.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Week, so nobody else. We had gone down in legend
that that and the signing.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
Of the props that I oh yes, we talked about
that with with Steve.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
We told the story of Jody and the props.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
Came on, crushed every destroyed all the props. She wrote
joy on everything.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
And then that was just amazing.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
I was like, I am so sorry, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 6 (31:50):
That was so bad.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
That would also be right, Yes, that was also legend.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
Yes, do you remember if you guys had to go
out and just get all new props, or were you
able to scrub the sharpie off of the football.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
The foam finger. I would imagine the foam finger is done.
Speaker 6 (32:08):
Luckily we had your props. You always have two or
three or four whatever it is, because you never know
if it's not. Most people don't intentionally right on your stuff.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
But a lot of times things will tear going through
a win somebody if after drops something in a scene
and you gotta reshoot.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
It, you have to have more, right.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
You almost always have a backups of at least a couple,
not two or three or four, unless it's a very
special thing.
Speaker 6 (32:32):
I didn't make a backup of the Goldberg machine, just
two of those.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
In case going yeah yeah, here's another option, I.
Speaker 6 (32:38):
Just yeah, yeah, So here's always got back.
Speaker 7 (32:40):
You've always got double dribbles, they say the business if
you if you have one, you have none, because you
only have one, you might as well just not even
have any, because but you get halfway through the shot,
and then if you lose it or break it, you
can't you ruined the whole thing.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
If you don't even have it. They're like, what happened
to the If.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
You don't have it, you got to work around and
create something else.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
If you do, they're like, oh yeah, no, do that
and then it breaks and they're like, now everything is
all continuity is wasted.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
Yeah, that's the beauty of the sitcom that we do.
The state fun stuff like a full House or or
you know, the fun sitcom stuff. They're fun to do.
It's it's a little chilly. You can get away with,
you know, doing something a little over the top. I think,
I mean, speaking of over the top, Kimmy Gibbler pretty
(33:31):
over there, I mean that.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
One and that character Kimmy Gibbler House. Yes, oh, the
Gibbler House, the Gibbler House.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (33:40):
And that's like what I when I came in.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
Like, there's two episodes, two seasons left that I come
in for the last few seasons.
Speaker 6 (33:46):
So show up. I watch a couple I was in
a full house person growing up. Sorry as watch either
were we.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
That's why we're doing this podcast because we never watched
the show.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
And so I watched a few and I go, okay,
kind of you know, funny is quirky, give whatever?
Speaker 4 (34:01):
And uh so that I did not realize the vast
trove of Kimmy Gibbler items.
Speaker 6 (34:06):
That I was gonna be ow upon me, and it
was like, why is she do She's what am I?
Speaker 1 (34:13):
They go like all these things.
Speaker 6 (34:15):
Yeah, Kimmy Gibler walks in with a book. I go, okay,
show no Kimmy Gibler book. So it's like a wild thing.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Like well, I remember, I think Jody and I were
giving you ideas too.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
We're like, we need an Ostrich or we need a
picture of an Ostrich. Oh that's right for the Gibbler house. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Yeah, you made or created or something a big portrait.
Play a life sized portrait of an Ostrich.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Yeah, on the wall. I mean, as you would memorialize
a beloved pet. Yes, Gibler lore.
Speaker 6 (34:46):
You know.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
Well that's the fun part is that when you're working,
you know, you do the basic props of whatever you're doing,
and then if you get fun people that have a
fun idea, you want to.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
Do it for them. So when you guys come, you
know what I mean. So yeah, it's extra.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
And it's like if you know, if Eliah came to
me and said I want blah blah blah, go, I
don't think so.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
You might break it.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
You're probably gonna break it, right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right,
and that wraps up part one of our interview with
Jim Falkenstein. We could ask him a million questions, from
being propmaster on Fuller to the famous yellow tucks he wears,
to working on Tombstone, working with Val Kilmer, all kinds
(35:28):
of fun stuff.
Speaker 9 (35:29):
