Sibling Revelry with Kate Hudson and Oliver HudsonEveryone's talking about the latest Nickelodeon documentary involving some of Hollywood's biggest child stars and Jodie Sweetin is stopping by to share why she isn't tuning in. Plus, find out what one fact she shares that blows Oliver completely away!
Hi.
I am Kate Hudson and my name is Oliver Hudson.
We wanted to do something that highlighted our.
Relationship and what it's like to be siblings. We are a sibling railvalry. No, no sibling. You don't do that with your mouth revely. That's good. My wife is calling me, but I'm gonna decline her because I'm doing a podcast. I'm doing this podcast, so she just got declined. So I want to get buff. Do you want to get buff? Right now? I have boobs, Let's be clear. I think they're a plus cups maybe moving into B. But I have boops, Like officially, I have shirts that I've worn for years that I put on now and it's as if I'm wearing no bra, you know, and it's not not only is it not attractive, it's like growths. So I was about to figure out for me. You know, I want to get buff. I want to not have to buy bras, you know, training bras, because I need I need training to learn how to exist in a bra. But it's just I gotta get buff. I gotta get buff. I gotta get shredded. You know, this business is a fucked up business it's tough, man, you know, it's come November, it'll be two years and a half. Well, I've I've done jobs. But I'm saying, like my own show, that I've worked very hard, you know, to always have It's just we're in a weird place. And maybe it's because of my boobs. I don't know. My agents are like, no, there's not a lot of opportunity, you know, because of the strike and blah blah blah. But I'm suspicious that it's my boobs that are causing me not to work. Anyway, Enough about me, and enough about my boobs and my body, which in six months is going to be fucking blue twisted steel, maybe with some boobs still, but at least all have abs. My abs will offset my boobs. Anyway. We have. We have an actor, a podcaster was on the show right now. She has been doing this for a long, long, long ass time. She's doing Hallmark movies. She's doing she's working, she's working, and I'm not. And that's just that's just how it is. And it's fine, Jodi Sweeten, bring her on. Let's talk there. You are, how you doing good? How are you just talking to myself? Ah?
Always good.
Yeah, always fun. Yeah, talking to myself about I'm forty eight is turned forty eighth? Congratulation you talk about my body, I was totally deteriorating how I'm It's crazy. I literally have boobs now I'm trying to figure it out.
Look, it is.
Forty I'm forty two, and it's I'm like, who is this new?
What? What I used to be able to just like bounce now now all different?
My husband, my husband's in his fifties, and he was like, that's happening.
No, I know, I know. And so I'm forty eight. I'm like, well, I've got two years till i'm fifty. So maybe I take these two years and I try to be getting to get into the best shape of my life when I'm fifty years old, you know what I mean. So that's kind of the plan. In fact, you were talking to me on the first day of a cleanse, which I've done maybe once or twice in my life. Okay, so we'll see how this ship works.
Are you just angry at yet?
Because it's what is it, ten o'clock in the morning, So so far I'm good. Yeah, yeah, by noon, yeah, i'll be I'll be killing everyone exactly. I mean, but it's a certain type of cleanse and I don't even know it's a guy's name. My wife is the one who put me onto all this stuff. It shakes for the first two days and then it's like shakes in this food. It's like a liver cleanse. It's a detox, it's a thing. It's a whole thing, right right right?
Is it like one of those like the press juicry ones where you buy it in the little thing and it's now okay, I'm fascinated.
What is it?
It's this Oh okay, it's called Equal Life for Equal Life. I don't know, Okay, yeah, my wife has one of her best friends is a holistic like genius, and so she turns her on to all of these things. So I'm going for it. And it shakes for two days straight and then there's like a little food and I take these weird supplements. I don't know.
Well, see you, I think you'll be how long is it seventy seven days?
I'll get through it. I weighed myself today just to see what sort of my base weight was, to see if I could lose a cor You're like.
See, see if it does anything.
Yeah, it's fucking crazy though, Like I stepped on the scale with one hundred and ninety six pounds. I'm six ' one, but it doesn't look like it. But I just I don't know, I can't.
I think everybody has this idea of what certain weights look like, and it's all about right.
You know, it's on none of it.
Like when you actually find out what someone who you think weighs for women, you know, like one hundred and fifty, You're like, that's not.
No, it's right right, So you know, I just want to feel better. Anyway, enough about me, How are your cleanses going well?
To be fair, I got neurovirus over the weekend, so.
Cleanse I went.
I went to Yosemite to have a nice weekend away and.
That was just so wow. So Yosemite though, well you can't, you can't cabins.
We we rented a cabin up there, and you know, luckily one day I was like fine and we made.
It for a car ride. My husband's like going a hike. I was like, no, absolutely not.
But yeah, so it was not the weekend I expected, but it was the weekend.
Yeah, well, yes, amazing. My son just did a trip up there with this class incredible.
It was just gorgeous.
I mean we did the drive like to Glacier Point and through Yosemite Valley and so times I just need to remind myself that I am just a small human in a gigantic world that doesn't really noble nature.
Nature does that, and nature is profound that way in that it can make you feel small in the biggest way, in the best way exactly makes.
You feel sort of right sized.
And remember like, oh, yeah, this is all temporary.
So yeah, totally I'm with you. I I adhere to the ball of fire theory, where we're all going to be a fucking ball of fire at some point, like the earth is going to the civilization will no longer exist. So what are we worried about?
Here's the thing I always say, like, humans won't be here.
Nature will be fine, but humans will not be here at some point, right at.
Some point, and and the earth will.
We'll keep on ticking, you know. So why why why do I have to take lexipro? Why am I on anxiety?
Right?
Why do I have to get into shape before? Yeah?
No, it both makes you go none of this matter is And also like I should make every little bit of it matters.
And you have kids.
I do. I have two daughters sixteen and.
Fourteen, and my younger one. Just where you living? Are you in la In?
Yeah? In la in Valley?
And so your girl, your oldest is in ninth or tenth or tenth or my oldest is.
In eleventh grade, and my younger one just started high school.
Is the same as my boys, my boys Wilder's my oldest is in eleventh and my my body, my boys in ninth. And then I got and there have a daughter who's in fifth.
Oh nice, Yeah, yeah, we got two. We were both in high school.
Yeah, that's good. No, I know, I know. And they can do they drive?
My older one is not she's almost done driving, but she doesn't drive yet. But they go to different schools so it will buy me. But they both take the bus. So that's yeah, they're bus kids. They were like, we have to take the bus.
Yeah, yeah, because you guys go.
By and how do you sort of as far as your parenting style goes and skills go, you know what I mean? And and with with your husband too, like you guys on the same page.
Well, so both I have my daughters with two different access marriages. So my husband is an amazing stepdad. He is super patient. He is like the most mellow, even keeled, Like if shit starts getting hairy around here, he's like, I'm stares with the dog.
You know, smart in that way because he's out numbered. But no, he is is.
Wonderful, and you know it is. I think parenting is the hardest thing that you have to do with another person because no matter what you think, you have the same ideas of parenting. But two people come into it with like a lifetime of ideas of how they're going to parent or how they're not going to parent, and it's not nice.
I know, I know, I have a stepdad, you know, Kurts, my Kurts. I call him my dad, you know, I call him paw.
Actually, oh that's what my kids call my dad as grandpather.
Oh really, yeah, that's cute. Yeah. So he raised me and it's such an interesting role. You know, it's a very interesting role. Yeah, it's at times.
For sure, because he, you know, is like he's like, I know I have so much I can say, but it's also not my.
But I want to back you up, but I don't want to get in the middle.
But you know, it is, it's it's being a step parent is not easy because you have to deal with all the fun of the kids, you know, living in your house and and basically parenting them.
And yet you don't there's just a little that's.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I know, and.
It become and you know, parents again, sometimes you get territorial where you're like, it's my kid.
You know, You're like, of course, oh my god, course right, but.
You know it's yeah, parenting is it's a challenge.
And you know, I think anybody who's like this is the kind of parent I'm going to be, I'm like cool. Talk to me like every two years and let me know, because you're going to change.
Oh my god, I know you're going to be super strict. You're going to be like, I don't care, You're going to you.
Know, my son, I don't know what I do. I'm not going to do that. Like when I'm a parent, I'm going to let my kids do this. I'm like wilder, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, no.
You're not so many ideas. It's a parent.
It's so funny.
Yeah no, and you really don't.
I mean, I I call my mom constantly to just say thank you for not killing me, thank you.
I don't know how you did.
This, oh gosh, oh my god, because.
You really do not comprehend the absurdity of having an argument with a fifteen or a sixteen year old who is telling you how life is and you're looking at them with three times the amount of years on the planet, and you're just like you're in no, no, And it's not until that moment where you go, oh my.
Poor yeah, oh oh, I just my god, I am so sorry. I knew nothing. You were right, you were right.
Yeah, No, I get the same.
I've waited thirty years, you get the same shit.
Like I'll be in the conversation. I'm like Wilder, I'm forty eight. Yeah, yeah, I've done this a billion times, Like you need to trust me. You have to trust me at some point.
No, No, but they won't they won't. And I did it, and you did it.
I know, and.
That it is.
It's like a it's like a curse as a parent, where it's like you'll know things, but they won't care.
You know, It's so true.
All of your life.
Experience is going to mean yeah, now, I know until maybe a certain age when they revert back right.
Until they're like, you know, mid twenties, and they're like, oh, yes.
People exact exactly. Oh my god, it's so it's so so so true, and and and it's easy to fall into the trap of as parents, like you listen to me, how are you not listening to me? Because that's the way there's a frustration there. But they are an under they have underdeveloped brains. They are teenagers to the core. They're like, you know, we can't take any of this shit personally, which sometimes I do.
You know what I tell my kids all the time, as I just go, you know what I'm I am doing my best and sometimes yeah, sometimes is meant and sometimes I'm killing it. You too, will have those things happen to you someday where you're like, I got this and then you know, you.
Know, especially with the first one, you know, because I told that's a wild a while and had a man I said, Look, I said, I don't this is a first for me. I said, Unfortunately for you, body and Rio your siblings are going to benefit from my mistakes with you. I'm trying to figure this shit out, just as you are trying to figure it out. So let's give each other some grace and I will apologize to you and I'm wrong, which I just did yesterday. Oh, Like I was like, dude, I'm sorry. I got a little hot, you know, I I chose the wrong words. Blah blah blah. You know, but you know it's a it's a balance, There's no doubt about it, man, is it?
It really is?
And some days again you're like, I'm feeling it on the balance, meme, and then.
Some days you are fallen away off exactly. So talk about your audition process really quickly for Full House? Right, So how old were you? Number one?
I actually, well I never auditioned for four Nuit. Technically I didn't. I did so I was I was like four and a half years old, shit, and I did. I started doing commercials when I.
Was about four.
How did that happen? Meaning? Is this something you wanted to do? Was your did your parents? You know, like, how did that work out? Were they hesitant about saying, fuck, are we gonna let our little girls sort of do all of this and become famous? Potentially?
That was never even like on the menu really was like, oh, let's see if you become famous.
It was I was.
I loved dancing when I was a kid. I started dancing when I was like three years old, ballet and jazz. And the second I would get in front of people at a recital or whatever, I was like moving people by the way to edge my way up to the front, you know, I would. I loved being on stage. I loved performing and hamming it up and whatever. And I started reading really early. I was about three and a half and I was starting to read. And by the time I was four, I could pick up pretty much anything that you gave me and I read. And so, you know, my parents knew I was. I was smart. I needed a challenge. I needed I liked being busy. I liked doing things, and so, you know, as a kid, my parents had no connection to the industry. My dad worked at a you know, a plant in downtown in Long Beach Harbor. My mom was a stay at home mom, and uh, you know, they.
Thought it would be fun.
They were like, oh, she likes to perform, and you know she's cute, and you know, we'll do some little talent shows or pageants or you know, some print work, and and I would just keep booking stuff, and so then I went out for some auditions, which I was really young, but because I could read, people were like, well, I mean, she can memorize, she can read, like most kids can't.
Do that till they're like six or seven.
So I was young and tiny and I could do that. And so I just started booking commercials and then my first TV appearance was on a show called Valerie with Valerie Harper and Jason Bateman, and I played the next door neighbor, Pamela Pool's niece.
Excuse me, missus Pool. I played Pameta Pool.
I was hurt and I did one episode of that as a as a guest star.
And it was the same producers.
It was Miller Boyett and Jeff Franklin and Rich Correll. And that was how I became Stephanie was I did that one episode and they were in the process of developing full House and I was the first person cast.
Really yeah, yeah.
So they like my tape in.
Jeff Franklin was like, that's Stephanie, and so yeah, it was again just none of this was ever the plan or the like, you know, my parents were not They do not like the spotlight or the any of that.
It was not they were living vicariously. I just thought.
It would be fun and turns out like thirty seven, eight years later, weirdly still having fun doing this.
I know, that's incredible. I didn't realize you were the first one cast. And then do you remember the process after that and how you rounded out everybody? And you know, I.
Don't remember exactly, but I remember our first table reading. Yeah, and John Stamos always tells the story because he jokingly tells the story that he after he left the table read and I got more laughs than he did that he literally called his agent and was like, this kid's gonna steal the show.
I don't want to be on the show. And we joke about it to this day.
I was like, I was like, you could still there's still an out John, But yeah, he like it. He was like this little Pip squeak sitting on her knees up at the table, he said, and you were sitting there reading the.
Script like the adults.
It was wild, and so I remember that because I remember, like, I was.
Like, oh this is I loved it. I loved making people laugh.
I loved performing and everyone, you know, as much as John says he you know, made that phone call or whatever. He could not have been kinder and sweeter and more warm to all of us.
So like it was amazing.
Like I walked in as a little kid to be like, oh, I get to have fun and all of these people are really nice to me and treat me really wonderfully, and my mom's.
Here with me every day, and like, okay, it was.
You know, I had a really exceptionally wonderful experience growing up in the business.
That I'm grateful for because I know that isn't.
Yeah, no, and what do you attribute what do you attribute that to? I mean, just to set the energy and your parents, yes.
Miller Boyette sets I will say that family matter is perfect straight.
You know, all of these particularly.
Their shows with kids step by step all of that, they really put the kids welfare at the forefeit. They made sure that we were listened to, taken care of, not overworked, not at all, you know, treated poorly. Our parents were always involved the produce. You know, Jeff Franklin was very active in talking to our parents and talking storylines and things like that, and talking to us about what we were into as kids. And you know, it really came from the producers, and then we had a magical cast of people We're all family, who were all like that was who they were was you know, they were in their twenties. God, I can't believe I know guys since they were in their twenties, but they were young guys who wanted to have families some days, so they were their kid friendly and it was it was such a great set to be a part of, and it was everybody that has worked on our show truly, even guest stars that we've interviewed years later, have said it was one of the most welcoming, fun kind sets that I ever had.
The pleasure to work on all mine.
That's amazing.
So I'm very grateful.
That's amazing, Yeah, because it could have gone so many different ways, you know, I mean, did you see that Nickelodeon documentary.
Yeah, you know, I didn't watch it because I think I have so many friends who I know the stories directly.
I was like, I don't, I don't need to watch I know though it is, but that is there is a.
You know, there is a lot of that in this business. And and you know, again, when you have a really good experience, you it is due to a lot of people making sure that the kids are taking care.
Yeah. Yeah, so I've worked I worked with Candae I did. I actually did a Hallmark movie there a million years ago.
Oh nice.
And then I worked with Staymos. I did Scream Queens at Ryan Murphy Show for two years.
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So and then I knew Bob very well because he used to date a friend of mine named Juliet Rugs Ruga Juliette. And by the way, the Bob thing, Fuck man, it's just unbelievable. I mean, what a tragedy.
Yeah. You know, what I always say about.
The way that Bob went is that it was so soon and.
It was so tragic.
But at the same time, he got off stage that night and posted that it was one of his greatest shows ever, that he was on top of the world, and he was and he was just sailing, just absolutely in love.
With what he was doing and with life. And then that was it.
And I think for someone like Bob, that is absolutely the most at peace. Wait he m, yeah, you know, Bob, Bob, I don't I could it would have. You know, Bob was not someone who was going to sit still easily. And I just I wish he was still here, but I'm so he got to go out feeling so much love and appreciate.
And pride for himself what he's done his whole life.
You know, I'm like getting to have a killer show and do that, because you know, sometimes you go out and stand up and it's like, Bob, has that happened anymore? But but you know it was.
I just I was.
It was heartbreaking, but I was so grateful that he went out.
Yeah, exactly, Oh good. And do you do stand up?
I do? I do.
I haven't been doing any occasionally or recently, rather because I have been working.
But I have a show that I do here in La.
Called Family Dinner, and we've been doing it at the Bourbon Room and also at the Comedy Store, and it's a panel show that I host with three other rotating stand up comedians and it's absolutely off the rails and insane and it's so much fun. We've had some great comedians on there.
What's the format of the show?
It is so basically what the concept is is I have all of the comics bring something that the food that was a favorite of theirs as a kid, and we usually have like themes for the month, so we'll do like Pride or we'll do you know, all kinds of fun stuff. And they kind of tied it into that, like a you know, a favorite camping food if that's our thing, and that's just kind of the way to get everybody on the same page. And we're all sharing a meal together and then we play ridiculous games, we ask stupid questions, We involve the audience. I mean it inevitably, I mean, we it's wildly inappropriate.
I will say, Bob say it would be very, very proud.
One of the rules that I give the comedians is, you know, don't worry, we're not recording this. Go yeah, and we have so much fun.
It's a great I know Bob was. I knew Bob from Full House right and then I never met him, and then I met him through Juliet and we become friendly and we now are knowing know each other well. And I was like, dude, this guy's dirty as fuck.
Yeah, I mean he was always you know, so everyone's like, when did you know?
I was like, when did I have?
So like so it was just so like, oh my god, wait a minute, he's not just this like you know amazing father on this you know show. He's wildly, wildly crazy. It's crazy.
And you know, one of the huge lessons that I learned from Bob and Dave, who suffered a lot of loss and tragedy in life, is I watched them absolutely make the darkest jokes at themselves, at their own expense, at their you know, to deal with death and loss and divorce and all these things. And you know, I learned that nothing is so big that you can't make fun of it.
That you do. The second you do, you're like, oh, yeah, it doesn't know.
It's so true. It's like a it's like a pressure valve release, you know, yeah, pressure valve.
And I have a eye thanks to Bob, have a very dark sense of humor.
I actually out bobbed Bob at our wrap party.
I don't remember what the joke was, which is probably for the best, but I said something to he said something, and I made a joke back to him, and he just looked at me and he went.
Wow, just the master.
And I was and I was like, did I did I out bob you? And he was like, yeah, that.
Was And I was like, oh my, this is that's it. It was a it was a victory moment.
Oh my god, Like what have I done?
I was like, I don't know, but it's your fault.
Amazing. That's so funny. But being a stand up coming, that's gotta be nerve wracking, man, Like I have so many calm to stand up comic friends, you know. I I worked with Bobby Lee and for two years we became really really close on the show. And he goes, dude, he is, you're funny, like you I'm gonna get you five minutes at the comedy Store, blah blah. I'm like, no way, as ship my pants, Like I can't.
I did.
So my first stand up that I did, I'm friends with Jeremiah Watkins and he Jeremiah does a show at the Comedy Store that's called stand Up on the Spot, and basically you go up there and you get like five to seven and the audience throws out topics and you just improvise and you just go for it, which is both freeing and also it's like there's a certain like, oh, it doesn't matter because I writing it so people the bar is a little But also there's the thing of like if I don't if I'm not funny, like it's just going to be people sitting there like you know, And I did it and it was we had so much fun. It was well and then yeah I did, and then I've done I've done that show a couple of times.
Operate well better better in that scenario than writing jokes, because that, for me, that was it. My humor comes off the cuff, that comes in more of an improvisational you know.
Yeah. That's the thing is I can be real funny and then I'm like, oh, I have to write yeah, you know, it's the my adhd Brang goes Oh, but I was doing it. But no, I have been much better about, you know, get writing stuff. And I've got some really great friends, my friend Ben Gleib and my frand Chris Bauers and you know obviously Jeff Ross and those guys, Mike Binder, you know, so many of Bob's How many friends have loved and supported me in kind of doing some.
Of this new stuff. And how long? How long did Full House run? The first iteration of it?
We were on for eight seasons back in the back in the Good Network season.
You know when you started at how old were you when you on the show.
I was just five when I started the show, but I was thirteen one of.
Okay, so just through the process of that, you know, and growing up basically having a child, a childhood on the on the show, you know, was there any not regrets, but like, was was there any sort of part of you that wish that you could have just been in school and having normal social situations or because you started so young, this was just the norm for you.
Right, you know.
I always I've all I ask myself that question, like what if you would have just you know, been normal, would you have wanted to.
Do this later on? Or And.
The truth is, I don't. I think I would have been terribly bored. I think I would have been terribly bored. I I have ADHD. I could not stop talking and sit still in class. And so because I was sort of in school half the time and then working half the time, I had this great combination of like private tutors and being in and.
Out of school. So I arrived.
I think if I were just in a normal school environment, I would have been really you.
A celebrity at your school?
Yeah, I mean I went to public school. I lived in Orange County. We didn't you know, I was the only.
Kid I worked for you though, meaning holy shit, after year three and four, it's like, okay, well you're.
Well it was kind of you know, I had started going I mean, I switched schools every few years, just moving and whatever. When I was in elementary school, I had a fairly consistent group of like friends that I started with in fourth grade.
And you know, the first week.
Of school it's always a weird adjustment, and you know, people go through the thing of either wanting to be your best friend or they absolutely hate you, and then that kind of simmers down and then you figure out, you know, who your who your friends are, and.
Did you have tough skin generally?
Yeah, yeah, I do for sure, Like there's not much, I mean, there's not much that gets under my skin. And if you know, I'm also not one to just stand and take it, so, you know, I had a few few things to handle in elementary school.
Yeah, no, I know, you know, because again, you know.
Sometimes people get a little mouth and you're like, all.
Right, let's yeah, you can deal with you have to deal with that, you know.
Yeah.
Yeah, and you know what, I honestly look at it now and I think I'm so glad that I started when I did, because I one, I think I just I needed a huge creative outlet as a young person.
But I also.
Like, I just learned so much about myself, and I think, uh, yeah, I just I don't think I would have been as happy just doing sort of the normal kid thing I wanted.
Was there like a sibling dynamic on your show? You know, I mean did it feel Did it feel sibling? Oh? For sure.
I mean, you know, me and Cannae and Ashley and Mary Kate. I was super close with Ashley and Mary Kate. Cannas and I were close, but we definitely had the you know, the older sister younger sister thing of like you know, she was like, I'm five years older than you, so you know, I'm like, I'm.
With the cool kids.
And she had you know, Andrew Barber on the show, who Andrey and I were very close to.
But you know, it was she had that, and then I was the middle one that was like, hey, oh you a stupid knock not.
You know, I had life essentially.
Right, and then you know she's just like would you go away?
And you know, so you just hang out with like the little ones and so it definitely was a sibling dynamic, and it was I mean, we were and still are very much a family. We you know, like we've argued like family, We've you know, we've been in and through everything in each other's lives from such a young age. Even the adults from their early twenties. I mean they've all known each other too since they were like eighteen nineteen in various ways, so you know, we all grew up together.
Really.
I was definitely I'm an only child in real life, so got like a.
Taste of what it's like to have siblings.
And I think, in my age and wisdom, I have realized I did much better.
As an only child.
Oh really, yeah, I have to.
I'm like, yeah, I think I was. I was massing.
The show gave you a little sample size of what it might be like.
I just want to be the Yeah, I'm very I like, you know, sort of my own company, like the only child thing where I'm like, yeah, I don't.
Want to share amazing in Fuller House. Is it still going or now? No?
We finished in twenty nineteen. You did a nineteen, which was right before the pandemic.
You did two was you two seasons? I've we did five seasons of that holy shit.
Yeah, but I mean five seasons of Netflix seasons.
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. How was coming? How was that? How? It was sort of the reunion part of it all?
You know, I mean we've never been out of each other's lives, so it wasn't like a reunion where it was like, oh my god, we haven't seen each other. It was like, oh, we all get to now work together again.
Like how fun is this?
God? How fun was that? Though?
Oh it was? It was.
I can't put into words what an experience was. And we were one of the first like reboot shows really to come back, and it was you just never thought, you know, at thirteen, when I ended the show and was heartbroken and devastated that this part of my life was over. I never in a million years would have guessed that you would tell me I get to come back in thirty some years and do it all over again, except now I get.
To be funds.
It's through it, and we're going to be back on the same exact sound stage and we're going to be back you know, some of our same supervisors and are city like you know, just it was it was truly, uh a huge gift, and then for it to be as successful and as you know, well loved as it was coming back like pretty special.
I mean, that's such a rarity. It probably will never happen again, you know what I mean.
Yeah, I don't, I don't know.
I'm not talking about your shop saying just overall for a showdown, that's what.
I mean, overall like it just it was lightning in a box twice, you know, it really was. And and I think you know part of the reason when we came back for Fuller. We knew that fans absolutely loved the show and it was funny.
But we'd go pitch at places and they were like, just don't know, people will want to watch.
We were like, trust me, we know the fans, they're gonna want to watch.
And they did, and they showed up and they loved the show.
And we're also bringing a new generation of fans. You know, I'm sure you did. I'm sure well.
I mean, the show has never been off there since aired in nineteen eighty seven.
It has been on Blue or syndicate.
Right now, it's on streaming so by Vibe Residuals. But you know, it's been on forever so you've never stopped building kind of new generations.
Of Full House fans.
So yeah, it's it's been a really great gift.
I'm going to nineties Con this weekend with a bunch of the other cast and cast, a bunch of different shows.
It's so much fun. We have such a blast.
But yeah, I the Full House fans really really, I mean we have incredible fans, truly really generous, sweet kind loyal, like families and kids and grandparents, and it's just across generations. We have people fly in from all over the world that comes to these ninety these cons that are like, I'm from Brazil and I literally came to meet the Full House, Like it's where is it? This one is in nineties Con, This one's in Florida, I want to say, Tampa.
We like Florida.
And then there's one that's more on the East coast that that I've done in Hartford, Connecticut. And yeah, I'll do, like, you know, one or two of these a year because fans just come out and it's I love to be able to give back because there's so many families and kids that come to these that are just so excited and once you become a parent, you know, like how it's it gets to be, you know, Mickey Mouse or something. You're like, if I get to be the Mickey Mouse of the day, I will totally be happy to make somebody.
So it's really fun.
Great, Well, we I have like five minutes with you. I want to talk about your podcast, your watch right? Yes? How long have you been doing that?
We well, let's see, we are.
I think we're like halfway through season three now rewatching, but we we're it's been like two.
Seasons of the How's how's it going? It fun?
It's going great.
Our listeners are so again, so loyal and so excited and are having so much fun going through the show with Andrey and I because she and I never watched the show that like some of these episodes, I've never like, I did this.
When I was five.
I didn't care. How is that for you? Forget about the fans for a second. You rewatching it as must be crazy.
That's the best part is.
It's Andrea going back and watching these things and we're just you know, half of it is remembering things you haven't thought about in how any odd years, Like when you look at an old family photograph and you're like, oh, that's right, I remember.
That couch, you know. And then some of it is just hilarious.
Making fun of each other and fashion and hair mullets, glory, oh the mullets. So you know, it's fun to go back and just kind of poke fun at it or watch it or even And we just did one of the episodes where Steph goes to therapy after.
The San Francisco earthquake, which was a huge episode for us.
And like, we talked to Jeff Franklin, who was our creator and writer, about why why he wanted to do that show, why he wanted to do an episode where Danny didn't know and you know, eat it outside all these sorts of things. So it's been fun to delve into that too and ask questions that.
Didn't ask as a kid.
Would he just showed up?
And then you're like, bye, I.
Mean, if you think about it too, if I'm thinking back to my five year old self, I don't have much memory of it, you know, but for you, maybe because you were in such a a different space and a different job and it was fantastic. Do you or do you have like no recollection? You're like, I don't fucking remember this.
Like oftentimes I'm like, what was what? But then there are moments and it's usually for me like weird little tactile things where I'm like, oh, I remember those I remember those swede boots, or I remember you know, it's something weird and random that you remember as a kid. But yeah, it's like going back and watching it also and realizing how old I was at the time and like now being an adult and you're like seven and you're doing that, you know, it's kind of mine crazy.
Yeah, well, I'm gonna let you go.
So great to talk to you, Oliver.
Great to talk to you too. Good luck with everything, and thank you. You're still doing that comedy show.
I am.
I'm doing a family dinner.
I'm not sure when our next one is going to be scheduled, probably the end of September, but it out. But if you want to come, let me know. I'll set you info and down the show at the Comedy Story.
Awesome, all right, thank you, all right?
Thanks.
Oh yeah, I was not a child actor. Kate was not a child actor. Interestingly, Mom didn't want her to be a child actor, you know, for fear that she would go off the rails. Obviously, Jodie's had a really healthy dose of parenting, and the set seemed to be amazing and she could do no wrong there all right. I would normally give a longer outro, but I have to pee very very badly, so I'm leaving by
