including Fuller House, Jim has a plethora of stories up
his sleeve, from sourcing props to mistakes that have happened
on set. We're looking at you, Jody Sweeten. We are

The business for a long time, you just kind of
like fell in it. What are some of the other
Like what are some of the other sitcoms that you've
worked on? You know, not your top three because we're

really inspire laughs.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
But great movie, Yeah, pretty great.

Speaker 4 (01:15):
And that was that was very young and I was
very green.

Speaker 5 (01:18):
I was I was the assistant on that and uh,
it was wild in a variety of ways.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
I was gonna say, this is back in the in
the heyday of Val Kilmer being Val Kilmer.

Speaker 5 (01:30):
Great stories. I mean right, forced me to drink a
lot of per diem at the end of the day,
but great stories for sure.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
Yeah. So that was wild.

Speaker 5 (01:44):
It's a lot of that was crazy, a lot of bullets,
but so many big actors on that it was super fun.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Oh okay, I love that movie. My dad is obsessed
with Western and that's also one of his favorites.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
And I was so I'm so dumb at the early time.

Speaker 5 (01:57):
I didn't realize there's like mementos that from that movie
that I was you know, the gardens you can't to Kilmer,
the dives that they used in here, the bottle that
was kind of stuff like I could have actually kind
of kept some of that stuff. And I did keep
some stuff, and I kept scripts and dustar cool stuff.
And then I screw like a year, somebody goes, hey,

(02:18):
did you work on Tombstone, and go, yeah, he was
getting cool stuff. I go, they can have all this stuff.
I don't know what if you want. And then later
now I'm like, oh, you see walk by what the
city of Tombstone this summer?

Speaker 4 (02:31):
Oh by, And I'm going like this is from the movie.
We could have sold that for it.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
They couldn't write if only I'd known think about it.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Now, did you work Did you work on Sultan Sea too?
Which was another Val Kilmer movie? Yes, another movie that
I love. Uh oh yeah, weirdly.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Love that movie.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
It's it's dark and and just it's about you know,
tweakers out in the Sultan Sea and uh yeah. The
first scene is always the one that sticks with me,
when they're like, you think they're at night in the
dark in the house, and then they opened the front
door and it's just they're like vampires and blinded you.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
Like, yeah, that was It was wild.

Speaker 5 (03:13):
There are so many people who are right in your
character because this it's all about the tweakers. So they
were all they had these they got all these guys
would show up.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
Consultants were just freshly.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Fresh, freshly so right, they're like, here's how you take
a part a toaster.

Speaker 5 (03:28):
Yeah, they had all the technical stuff down and blah
blah blah, and every one of them was like wire thintle, jittery,
you know. And uh and then you go in val
Val would put on an extra twenty five pounds or something,
and he was just kind of like whenever I'll give
you a Vouchimera's special eye left on this. So on Tombstone,
they smoked cigarettes a lot. We had fake we had
to roll them by hand, you know, had a bunch

(03:49):
of them. But they also smoked their own personal cigarettes
in between takes.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
So I had cigarettes galore on me.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Right, you were a walking smoke shop, las you get
been one of those like little you know you had
one of those trays like in the the thirties and
forties at the movie theater, you know, Yeah, maybe he.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
Was upside once we're in the short fly skirt.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, that would have made all the difference.

Speaker 5 (04:11):
But yeah, so he go, perps, I want a cigarette.
I go, which flavor would you like?

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Sir?

Speaker 5 (04:18):
And he goes up marble like right open the pack
and his cigarette and there's another lighter and he goes
he rolls, just holds it up to my ear. He
rolls like this. He goes, did that sound fresh to you?
I'm like, I just opened the pack right here? He goes,
bad pack, give you another pack and you walk away? Mike, Mike,
all right, so that's the kind of stuff you would do.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah, wow, more than one?

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yeah, yikes, that's it requires a whole other level of
patients from the protesters.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
And that's another thing, like certain you have to have
the patients to be on set. Steve has to sit
with my assistant. Steve had to be on side with
you weirdos.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Oh yeah, right, yeah, we give him a really hard time.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
So explain the difference between between your job and Steve's job,
between the prop master and the assistant prop master.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
Yeah. So I do all the prep before bringing the
stuff in.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
I shop it, I get the vendors figured out, I
figure out I give vendors for food.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
I go. Sometimes I arrange. I make stuff myself. Sometimes
I have graphics. I make a thing and.

Speaker 5 (05:26):
Then I have to bring it all together and kind
of create the prop to a point and then I
hint it give to Steve and then he arranges them
all for each scene throughout the show. So I get
them all together and bring them all in, and then
he arranges them all for you guys so that you
use them in the scenes, and he keeps track of
all your.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
Stuff, and and then once in a while he'll come
to me and go Andrea wants ano, there's something something.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Andrew wants a lifetized Ostrich baiting, store them.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
Off running you know, it's it's sick schedule. It's really fun.
It's usually pretty fun.

Speaker 5 (06:02):
So yeah, I do more prep work and all that
episode got a schmooze. I gotta be not like Steve's
great with the actors because he's a theater guy. Yes,
he loves the theater and he loves being on the
stage and the actors and uh uh, I like, I
always want to be a writer, so I like hanging
out with writers, and so that's where I would liaise

(06:25):
between the writers who are coming up with ideas, and
then with the director who that might be, and then
you guys, and then try to coordinate a bunch of
different inputs.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
What every what does everyone want?

Speaker 3 (06:39):
And how do I make everyone equally unhappy and just.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Get this through? Uh production?

Speaker 3 (06:47):
How do I disappoint everyone equally and just go, look,
this is what you're getting.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Jims and idiot, isn'ty? I agree?

Speaker 2 (06:56):
But do I have to make another one of those? No?

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Okay, great, that's I'll be done.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
So that's so you basically have to be like like
a partial chef sometimes an engineer uh, an entrepreneur schmooser
uh and.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
And a shock and a bit of a thief and
a bit of a.

Speaker 5 (07:19):
Yeah yeah see both here to say, like, so I
will look, there's not thievery. It's just acquiring too many
props every week and then having to give them away
to people. So that was always happy to do that, right,
It's certainly some people are some guys are horrors, some

(07:39):
prop people are horror They just have so much stuff everywhere.
I'm not the hoarder, so whenever I got too much stuff,
I had to get rid of it because I didn't
want any more stuff, right, so I would sometimes you
have to buy too much on purpose, and if you
guys wanted something extra for whatever non show related or
just order it and get it and bring it up

(07:59):
and keep doing it. So that's technically not illegal.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
No, No, it's the gender we're redistributing. It was mutual aid,
is what it was. Really. Yeah, you were helping out
others exactly.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
But I do remember like at the end of a
week there you'd.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Have like the table. I was like take this, you know,
like just I don't you don't need it, I don't
want it, I don't you know.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
Absolutely always trying to get rid of stuff.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
Oh and everyone was. I was always quite excited to
take it.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
I don't think there was.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
Any ever anyone that was like, now, I'm not gonna
They were like, oh, what do you got?

Speaker 5 (08:37):
Like what's the work got out on that stage because
it was right near the commissary or it was credibly
close not right there, but pretty close to the commentary.
So once the work out and the commentary would come,
deliver food once in a while and whatever it is.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
And I had a table.

Speaker 5 (08:51):
It was a free table and certain are right and
they were like, this is free for everybody.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
I'm like, I don't want to deal with it.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
They all run it right, a bunch of stuff perfect.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Tell me about the prop prop budget, like do you
get a budget for the whole season or do you
get a budget per episode?

Speaker 4 (09:11):
There's a you know, you're you've got like a your standard.

Speaker 5 (09:15):
They when you get the job, go say what kind
of what kind of budget are looking at?

Speaker 4 (09:19):
And that's what you kind of.

Speaker 5 (09:20):
Know whether your butt shot is going to be good
or bad. It's got if it's you guys had a
crazy big budget because you're a Netflix.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Netflix.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yeah, it was kind of bigger.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
It was like money wise, it was and uh, so
it was they say, okay, you got to two thousand
for rentals every week and fifteen hundred for purchases and then.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
A thousand for effects or whatever. It is, okay, like okay,
and then every week you get another script and you go.

Speaker 6 (09:47):
Oh, that's going to cost five thousand dollars, right, and
then everyone knows as long as you ever what you're
communicate well with everybody and go like, okay, so we're
making this, so we're going to do this, and if
you want me to get that, that's gonna cost more,
and then negotiate a little bit, go like.

Speaker 5 (10:03):
Yeah, it's fine, spend the money or people get them
to rewrite it, so you know, it's a little negotiating
you can do early on.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yeah, yeah, I do remember that, just to rewrite and rewrite.
I remember that from production meeting.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
And it was just like there were certain things that
you know, one department or another would be like that,
I don't know how you want us to pull that off,
you know, like wardrobe or something. Wardrobe is usually like
they can't do that in a skirt, so like something
needs to be rewritten.

Speaker 7 (10:32):
Yeah, hey, they're folks. It's TJ.

Speaker 8 (10:42):

morning Monday through Friday.

Speaker 9 (11:05):
Listen to Morning Run wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 5 (11:10):
Well, it's fun because the writers will will have watched,
just watched some movie and they'll write in a thing
from the movie.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
They'll go like, oh, I just saw some moves. It
looks pretty easy. I go, no, No, it was a movie.
There were you know, they were they were on a
stage that's tall, there were puppeteers underneath it all. There's
green screen here and effects there, and then in cameraon.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
Shot it right, And they had seven days just to
shoot that.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
We've got like seven minutes to get an insert shot
make it good.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah yeah, yeah, but that's that's.

Speaker 5 (11:41):
The sitcom thing is is good in that sense because
it's really restricted as to how how big and uh
you acting more creative on how you do things like
an effect or somebody gets pie in the face or.

Speaker 4 (11:52):
Even something that simple. You got to get smarter and
do it quicker so that you clean up as quick.
You got an audience there, you're going to get big bang.

Speaker 5 (12:00):
There were those the little games and the tricks and
the you know, the body doubles you throw in real quick.
But you can, you know, you have to be smart
and ticky. But they also restrict the writing, right.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
You sort of have a sandbox that you have to
play within. You can't do you know, in a movie
you can be like, we want to do let's do
an entire crash scene. You're like, that's not no, we can't.
We can run one car through one kitchen wall.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
That's it. One time per season, per season.

Speaker 5 (12:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Yeah, I gotta.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
Say, man, the stability of that house is impressive because
we've had what three four cars go through that and
for being an old.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
San Francisco house, it is it.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
Is really twisted earthquakes car backing into horses walking upstairs,
you know.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
In the kitchen. Yeah, that was in the kitchen, right,
livestock you know, yeah, oh, what.

Speaker 4 (12:51):
Did I missed one episode? What was the one where
I think who almost.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
Died when something Candice when and the we were doing
the stunt with the zipline.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Yeah, they didn't cap.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
They were adjusting it and then didn't put the cap
on the end of it. So the entire like forty
pound metal mechanism ran along. She ziplined along the track
and then there was nothing to stop her or it,
and it just it went right down in front of
her because of the weight of it. It didn't even
like or it just dropped and luckily Mary she had

(13:29):
stopped already. But yeah, dented the set, dented the snares.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Yeah, one of those.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
It was the last that was the last day for
that stunt guy, wasn't it.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
Yeah Yeah he didn't Yeah, yeah, but yeah it definitely
Uh you know these, I mean, these are the things.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
These are the things that happen on.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
Set and you and you do you're gonna stick on.
You're like, oh, what's the worst? This this is easy
was the worst that could happen, you know what I mean?
And you're like, oh, there's you know, someone light on
the higher there's all manner of things that Actually, yeah, it's.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Very dangerous job. When do you think about it? Yeah,
we're pretty well, we're on fuller for sure.

Speaker 4 (14:04):
Well we're all like first responders. I think we're.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
Heroes, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, we got you know, we'll
jump in and try and do anything.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
You know, Well you guys would.

Speaker 5 (14:14):
That's fun too, Like you guys got to do fun
stuff because I remember, like normally I'll go on my
show and if there's a kitchen of the kids show
out Nickelodeon or just near or whatever it is, the
adults that I talked to are usually you know.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
Just jaded because they're like, going, I'm here for the check.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
Well, because you're right, you have seven lines and you're
right and all of them.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
You're like, I'm an idiot, right.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
Yeah, to walk through whatever.

Speaker 5 (14:41):
But you guys, so what I think when I first
met you had early on, I was like, because you
were doing like three crazy things in a row, two
three different shows, and I'm going, they got you doing
crazy stuff. I mean that's crazy, right, you got to
you gotta be a little sick of this nonsense, right.

Speaker 4 (14:56):
And you went, I love it. I love it you
you said, oh no, that was my favorite thing. I
get to do crazy stuff all the time.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Probably the probably your first episode was the opener of
season four where I was I think it was rollerblading
and like on acrobats on silks or whatever and cart wheels.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
Like what yeah, yes, where was I was that? The
opening of season five? It was Kimmy did aeroals and silks?
What yes? Who am I this?

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Maybe it was season five because Kimmy was no longer
pregnant and so she's like, I can do everything now.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
I can roller blade, I can.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Just do I can go up in those aerial silks,
which was the body double that wasn't I can't remember
what else, but yeah, that was a lot for a
season opener.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
I was, That's right. I do remember three stunts that
weak that was crazy.

Speaker 4 (15:48):
Well, yeah, you guys, your characters were were well, I
don't know. The weird parents would.

Speaker 5 (15:55):
Just say you're you're, you've found you were the probably
the most I would say most parents watch the show
and go, I want to be that parent, the one
way I got to do whatever I want.

Speaker 4 (16:04):
I almost never see my kids.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Oh well, we've been watching Full House and we're amazed
at Michelle as a toddler really was just kind of
doing her own thing, you know, and just wandering around
the house. She'd pop in fully dressed and everyone's like, oh,
good morning, Like you know, obviously was able to put
her hair up in a ponytail and dress herself, and
she's just hanging out around the house.

Speaker 4 (16:25):
You know.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
The Tanner girls basically raised themselves right for three dads.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
It seemed like they were alone a lot, you know,
three four adults in the house, and yet the kids
were always just kind of.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
In on their own.

Speaker 5 (16:37):
You know.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yeah, yeah, funny. That's so great.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
So how was Hollywood, like, I mean, was it You've
seen definitely like the shift in everything.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
How has it changed your view of it from.

Speaker 5 (16:54):
As far as like the TV shows, shitcom stuff world
that used to be a lot more more fun in general,
there's still occasionally a fun show to go on, but
sets are a.

Speaker 4 (17:04):
Little bit more serious.

Speaker 5 (17:07):
There's not quite the the camaraderie between the cast and
crew because I think cruise cycle.

Speaker 4 (17:15):
A lot more right there used to be the season
was like July, August to.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
March pretty much, and you'd all stay.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
On the same show, and then the next year you
come back, and then you stay on the same show,
and the next year you come back, and it was
always the same.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
So everyone scheduled their lives around the show schedule.

Speaker 5 (17:36):
Yeah, and you see the same people every year. The
same crew would come in, the same writers would show up.
You know, a couple of changes here and there, but
so everyone got to know each other. So over the years,
the family thing worked pretty good. If you had a
difficult person number two or whatever, work around them and
had a great time.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
Like any family, you're like, oh, everyone knows that that's
the person that you have, you know what I mean, Like,
and then you just do it and you're like, oh,
we're all here for the holiday.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Just make it work, you know.

Speaker 5 (18:03):
But yeah, so it was like, so you had more
there's more continuity for each shows, like a lot of
the time. He had the same director all the time. Yeah,
you know, and it's like, well, you guys had was
Rich Correll.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
Yeah, we had Rich well on Fuller. We had Rich
quite a bit. We had him on full House too.
Joel's Wick did a lot of the original full House.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
We have Mark Sandrowski a four times every season on Fuller.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah, yeah, Fuller.

Speaker 5 (18:29):
Did you hear the Mark Mark Sandrowski director of Mark Sandrowski.
You know, he claimed because he grew up with Dave Koeer.
They worked together in the Michigan or whatever. They had
some kind of comedy duo. Yep, And and Dave K's
catchphrase was was cut out.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
That's Sandrowski line.

Speaker 4 (18:46):
Drowski says he was life stole it.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yep, yeah, that is absolutely true.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
Dave will tell Rich He's like, oh no, no, that
was cinders thing in our little comedy duo. And then
he like threw it into as Joey's sort of catchphrase.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yeah, there was up.

Speaker 4 (19:04):
I made that guy, I could take.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
It's so true to me.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
I have a picture of Sandrowski in some very short
shorts on a beach in Hawaii with a clipboard and
like an earpiece, just looking like.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
All hell has broken loose.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
Uh, And it was like, yeah, it was like nineteen
ninety two and uh it was.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
It was fun exact.

Speaker 4 (19:25):
Great, but yeah, so Rich because Rich Correll did most.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
A lot of them, right, he did a lot of
fuller yep did.

Speaker 5 (19:30):
But anytime like someone would get directing job, like what
it was Cameron or do you Jody it?

Speaker 4 (19:35):
You did one?

Speaker 2 (19:36):
I did? I directed one. It was you.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
I have the the director's chair which you lowered from
the ceiling.

Speaker 4 (19:42):
Oh, Yeah, that's right. We've made a big deal.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Yeah, it was so cool.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
Why not? Why not make it?

Speaker 2 (19:47):
No, there were you had laser pens.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
There is everyone like, there was lasers going and and
I think some smoke and I think you had the
yellow tuks on.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
I think it was an official yellow Tux moment.

Speaker 4 (19:58):
That was That's a good yellow Tex moment.

Speaker 5 (20:00):
So whenever somebody else would direct that wasn't Rich Krell like,
I go, I go, okay, Rich, I'll see you next week.

Speaker 4 (20:05):
He goes, I'm not directing next week. I go it
just because I invented what are you invent? Tanner?

Speaker 3 (20:11):
Right?

Speaker 5 (20:11):
Yea, all those scripts and almost all these episodes. I
guess I'm not as good as this new person.

Speaker 10 (20:17):
I'm like, Mike rich Come on, you met Michelle Lally
in the hit Bravo show The Valley. You met me
literally during the most difficult chapter in my life. Now
it's time for you to meet the real met Michelle Senny. Yes,

(20:40):
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 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

(21:03):
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 is
so much to unpack and share. I'm on the pursuit
of happiness and most importantly, I'm.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
On the pursuit of satiness.

Speaker 10 (21:21):
Listen to Pursuit of Satiness starting on March seventeenth on
the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
You know what's so funny?

Speaker 3 (21:30):
So I recently did a couple of days on a
Disney show.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
And then got sick and had to swap out. But
your daughter was on it.

Speaker 4 (21:38):
Oh yeah, and uh.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
And Rich Correll's daughter in law was one of the
stand ins. Noay, yeah yeah, And then Chris Jensen was
our ad and Tony was the.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Third and yeah, yeah, we had it was like several
of the Fuller of the Floorhouse group. Meg DeLoach was
on it.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
On the Newest One yeah, yeah, yeah, Tony's his second
now Tony, because I think Adam retired and Tony I
think moved up to his second, so it's crazy.

Speaker 5 (22:06):
And uh, my daughter Freya I think it's now the
second second because she's going out with Tony.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Know that. Okay, they're super cute.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
And I saw her and it was so funny because
I walked by her and I was like, did you
work out fuller? And she was like, well, not technically,
but my dad's Jim Fall because he was like, oh
my god, yeah, and you.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Were okay, yes, I totally remember. So it was Yeah,
it was a fun. It was fun to see her.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
And we had just done Steve's interview that week and
we're talking about you and then like literally I ran
into her two days later.

Speaker 4 (22:39):
That's crazy. She didn't tell me she saw you.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
I yell at yeah, yeah, yeah she did.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
And uh and I guess she doesn't like you now,
so sorry to break the news.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
Well maybe it's because you've quit the show. Pretend to
get sick.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
That's true. Well that's probably it too. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
Yeah, I was like I'm done with this now. I
first time I've ever quit or not quit. The first
time I've ever like not been able to work.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
It was just so sick. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
Well, actually no second time, because the first was I
think the one and only time on Full House that
we had to shut down because it was a Stephanie
centered storyline and I think I got sick like midweek. Yeah,
and I had like one hundred and three hundred and
four fever. They had to send the doctor out to

(23:22):
like be like, yeah, no, she's really really sick and
pull the insurance parachute.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
You couldn't do the live show. You couldn't do the
audience show. You couldn't do the audience show.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
Yeah, yeah, so we had to push.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
Yeah, but that I mean that's the you know.

Speaker 4 (23:36):
Rare back then, like since COVID it's like every.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
Week, right, Oh yeah now, I think.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
And they were also very because if the kids got sick,
you know, if you're an adult and you get sick,
they're like, I don't know, take some DayQuil, fair fluid up,
let's go. We got things to do, you know. As
a kid, they're like, oh wait, wait, wait, wait wait,
we gotta yeah, we want to take care.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
Of them a little bit.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
So totally, but yeah, sof and and Saw and saw
Rich's daughter in law.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
So it's a very small world this business.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
We all sort of generationally travel and you know, in
the same little circles.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
But yeah, it's helpful.

Speaker 5 (24:14):
You talk about nepotism all day and like, how you
know somebody so it's easier to get in because you
know people, which is true. But it's also good that
if you're in the business you kind of have a
support built in support staff of older people that you
can go like, I don't know what I'm doing, and
somebody who can go like it's.

Speaker 4 (24:28):
Good, be okay. Yeah, so that you get the guidance,
you know, feedback.

Speaker 5 (24:33):
From your family, right, which is helpful and makes you
a better employee.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
In addition to the nepotism.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
Absolutely well.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
I always think, look, every job, no matter what job
you get, if you know somebody, it helps you know.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
And I always say like it's I've.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
You know, seen talented people who happen to have a
parent that's in the business, and you know, it is
what it is.

Speaker 5 (24:58):
Used I used to I used to buy be more
and then I was just like, man, it's just the
way It's fine, you know.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
Which is ironic because you're a nepo baby, So you
really it's just that self hatred you're like.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
I was just I was born into this.

Speaker 5 (25:11):
Legendary Let me ask you this, Andrea, because I was
trying to call this, I talked to Steve Aldikowski a
little bit off and on I did.

Speaker 4 (25:21):
I did more when I was around. Do you know
here Steve and Brian got in a fight. You don't
talk anymore?

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Oh yeah, oh yeah I did hear.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
I did hear that bad. I didn't hear the details
of the fight. But yeah, they aren't writing partners anymore.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
I like them both. I don't like huh, but I mean, well,
watch out barriage break up. You don't know what happened? Right?

Speaker 2 (25:41):
They seemed so happy? Right? You know one?

Speaker 8 (25:44):
Right?

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Yeah, I was.

Speaker 5 (25:46):
Talking with Steve went after the show, and Andrea, wasn't
he pitching you one Pablo for some something?

Speaker 1 (25:53):
It wasn't Steve Boldokowski, Yeah, no, one. Pablo and I
were working with a different writer to pick well. I
wanted to do the Gibbler spinoff. I don't think anyone
knows this. I want to do the Gibbler spin off.
And so I went to Warner Brothers and pitch that,
and they said well, we can't do that because Netflix
owns the characters. They own the new characters on Fuller

(26:14):
for ten years, yep, and then they own our characters
for three years, five years whatever.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
It was, Well it's been ten years now, you could
go do it. Well, I know, maybe I should go
pitch it again, right you go. So then we were
pitching it a different.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Show, which was like we were, you know, gibbler esque.
I was the wacky person. He was the heart throb,
you know, Latin man who sings. But that never I mean,
between COVID and everything else.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
We pitched it around, but it just never happened.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
Yeah, COVID sort of ruined everything. COVID killed everything, I
mean for.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
A lot of reasons.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
But yeah, I think I felt like everybody had like
all of these things kind of happening in the early
part of twenty twenty, particularly even on our show. We're like, oh,
we've got like there were things that were happening and
what and then it was just.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
Like, oh no, actually none of that. They'd never mind. Yeah, yeah,
that was too bad.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
But well, Jim, this has been so awesome to have
you on the show.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
I love it.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
It's I love it too. I have to. I have
to give you my my favorite story though.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
Oh yes, oh my god, yes please.

Speaker 4 (27:16):
The Bob Saggat start.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Oh well that's right, yeah, the Saggat story.

Speaker 4 (27:19):
Now, this is when I tell everybody about my Fuller
House case.

Speaker 5 (27:23):
So after Fuller House, uh like two years after Floorhouse,
I get another show right on that exact same stage,
so I mean the same prop room. And this is
after Bob's passed, and so I come in. I'm working
on the same prop room, going that same corner where
we just talked about. Everybody is right, yeah, and it's

(27:44):
Sunday and no one's on the stage and the lights
are all off. I'm just dropping off some stuff and
I'm outside with the mic prop room there and I'm
just thinking also, and I feel this cold rush run
through me, like you know, they say ghost stuff that
doesn't happen to me ever, and I'm like going like, oh,
that's not like a ghost, I go, but it was
Bob Saggot's ghost just came to my head.

Speaker 4 (28:06):
I'm my Bob Saggot's ghost right there and there I
gotta go tell the tour.

Speaker 5 (28:09):
I mean, nobody believe me or anything, however, I uh,
I moved up to Ashland, Oregon, just full of the mystics.

Speaker 4 (28:16):
And nandlers and stuff like that.

Speaker 5 (28:18):
I know a guy who dabbles in that stuff, and
so he's a talking to him, like a couple of
weeks later, I go, hey, listen.

Speaker 4 (28:25):
He goes, look, I was gonna buy this house, but
I couldn't fix the electrics.

Speaker 5 (28:28):
He goes, I can get rid of ghosts, but I
can't fix electric I'm like, oh, well, hey, if you
know ghosts, let me ask you this story.

Speaker 4 (28:36):
A guy who knows ghosts, I told him to Bob
Saggot's story and I go, so, what do you think
is that? And he goes like guess. He goes, yes,
that was Bob Saggett. I'm like, oh, really, that's how
you find out.

Speaker 5 (28:49):
And then I said, Slosy, like, just haunt the stage now,
and he goes, wait, no, no, he was just a
visiting stage.

Speaker 4 (28:56):
He saw ant even wanted to stay high.

Speaker 5 (28:58):
So in my mind, and I usually don't believe in
that stuff, but for this, I believe in it because it.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
Was like, oh, you know what, I would one hundred
percent see Bob going back to that stage, all all
of us, really, I think We're all gonna the entire
full house. Gast is going to haunt stage twenty.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Four in perpetuity because we did.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
We did the original show there, right, and then we
can and those built like we were the first people
in those dressing rooms when they built it, like that
was hard.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Really they built all of that.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
And we were the first people in it.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
It was home. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
And then when we got to come back to the
same stage, to the same like dressing room areas and
all that, it was it was incredible. So I would
I would say Bob would probably be like, I was
gonna go check out stage for a little bit, see
if I can find a microphone.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Always looking for a microphone.

Speaker 4 (29:51):
Yeah, maybe that sameometer joke.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
It's true, yeap, yeah, some inappropriate joke. Always always Yeah,
it was great.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
No, I jokingly said, I was having a bunch of
mic issues and like electronics, Like it's Bob, Bob just
trying to interfere with the mic like I want to
trying to pull focus, which.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
Is totally fine, and I'd absolutely allow course. Well, yeah,
that was so many.

Speaker 3 (30:17):

The behind the scenes drama and I had Yeah, I
forgot that you guys were I knew you guys were
paying the Gibbler show, but I didn't realize that then
it was going to turn into something else.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
I know, it's one of those sliding door missed opportunities,
but hey, never say never could that's true, Right, it's
been ten years.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
Maybe we spend ten years now something, right, although I
wonder if it's ten years from the end of the show.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Yeah, that's what I never figured that out, if it
was ten years from the start or from the rap.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
I'm gonna say from the start, I'm going to I'm
going to make a legal decision here and say you're
entitled to do it, and if someone sues you.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
I don't know it. Yeah, I'll be like I'd just
avow all knowledge. I thought it was a good idea,
Like I don't I don't. I'm not a member of
the bar. Yeah don't.
