Storytime Minisode #7: From The Set

Welcome back to How Rude tan Ritos. I'm Andrea Barber and I'm Jodie Sweeten, and we are here today with another minisode. We have another great question we're very excited to answer. This question is from Kelly in Danbury, Connecticut, and Kelly asks your Everywhere You Look segments had me thinking of all the props that you had on the show that had their own stories. Which were your favorites and which did people take from the set?

Yes, I mean from the full house set. I didn't have quite as much, but I have and I have the big ticket item. Well, yes, should I introduce him now again?

Well, let's start big, you know big go home.

But we'll start big and or should we should we? Wait? I don't know.

It feels like it feels like we should save the best for last.

Okay, okay, we'll save.

The best last, save the best for last. It's got a great story that goes along with it too.

Yeah. Well, no, no, no, not that, but the.

Well anyway, are we talking about the same thing?

I don't even know. I don't know what I'm talking about.

Okay, okay, I will give you two things. No, it's fine, leave it in welcome back, Welcome back.

To ye chaos, so organized chaos.

Right, this is this is part of our charm so episode one seventeen.

From like Nobody's Danny's first Date? I think it was Danny might yeah, I think it was Danny's.

Hey, seriously, seriously, folks.

We're one of those. I think it was.

Yeah, those, but you'll remember I had that little like denim jumper on that had the little face and like the pink sort of feathery wispy thing.

Right, yeah, well I have it?

What right here? Jody? Oh my gosh, that's the same one.

This is it?

That is so cute? A little there's a little there's some rhinestones on it. It's a little acid washy.

There we go, hol my my speaker. Can it's it's got the little pink fluff on the back. Oh, it's got the little here and see the little face.

Thing is so cute.

So is it like a skirt or is it squirt? A skirt? It's a skirt a skirt, okay or no?

Is it?

No, it's a skirt. But here's what I need you to see is that the shirt that goes underneath it is a little T shirt. Right.

Okay, but because this was nineteen eighty eighty or whatever, eighty eight, this T shirt for a five year old has shoulder pads.

Okay, of course it's got freaking shoulder pads. And what that's what every six year old needs?

For a six year old? Okay?

What? What of all the considerations of what young elementary school age children need?

Right shoulder fine shoulders are one of them.

Sure, yeah, but anyway, I would like I pulled it out and I was like, are those little mini shoulder pads?

Indeed, they are so.

That so great And I can't believe your mom kept that. That's so awesome.

One of the you know what's funny, it's one of the few full house costumes that I have. I have this and I have the pink sweater from playing Pamela Pool on Valerie. Oh it was got me full House. Yeah, but I have the pink sweater that I wore because it was Gina and Roberta, who were the same order of people on.

But anyway, this is the one full house costume I have personal ones.

But and I was just like, oh my gosh, we just did that episode recently, and I very much remembered the little pink thing.

I wish I wish you had found this years ago when be was little enough to fit in right, rocked.

Those shoulder pads? Man, Oh yeah, killed it? Just we need to bring that back shoulder pads for babies. Yeah, yeah, great.

It doesn't get more Eighties than that, right, Yeah, for.

Sure, But that I mean and looking at it, it's so tiny.

It's like it's just oh and there's yeah, there's little studs and rhinestones on it.

It fantastic.

You know a lot of clothing in the eighties was three D Did you notice that.

I'm noticing that trend.

It was also the Christmas weaters, remember that would light up and have hanging off of them, and that was a very eighties thing. Something about the eighties we wanted to have three dimensional clothing.

It's like life size board books for babies. You know those kinds words, right, text different textures, like here's the texture of a tie, like open and clothes and right, yeah, here's a button. You know, it reminds me of those types of boards.

Yeah, I can't think of it. I feel like I don't see that very often. Now, let's bring back that. Like in almost every episode some one of us or all of the kids have had some sort of three D taxile shirt thing on their clothes.

Let's bring it back anyway. That's that's my first my first prop.

What do you got? Okay, Well, like you, I don't think I kept anything from full House, which is not I mean my mom kept all of the merge in the right, all of that. She kept a lot of other stuff. But I'm tricky, like, wait.

The cookie jar behind you, yeah, I know, was that?

But I think that was from Fuller or was this from Philip?

Was from full House? That was from full House?

The cookie jar that was the I think it looked it looks like the one in full House.

Not then, but then they give they gave us, didn't Jeff give us one little cookie jars?

Yes, that was a different but that was a different color. It was a different cookie jar. So this is from either full or a Fuller House. Okay, but it's from the kitchen set that feels like Fuller. I think it does feel it Fuller. One thing again, this is Fuller House specific, but you're gonna recognize this Jody's Sweeten. Its Franklin,

Sit on the desk watch us like the raven and say never More. And it was creepy. No, but it was.

Yeah, we had Ben Franklin in there, and I used to make jokes about him all the time.

Well yeah, because he sort of resembled our executive producer Bob Boyette at the time. We were just like, oh, it's like our tribute O.

But yeah, I would always make, you know, comments to Ben who was sitting up on the shelf, because it was just the most random, like why is Ben Franklin here?

So little head for good luck? Yeah, that was I'm so glad that you have that because that I know it's I'm like, I only kept a few things, and I'm like, I need the Ben Franklin bust for sure.

Yeah, and I mean quite a bust.

Quite a bust. And did you get I think you have this framed. I just have it in a ziploc bag, but it's a piece of the couch. Well please you have this right, Yes, I know you do, Yes, you have it. Okay, yours is displayed much better than my plastic bag. But this was when they did the episode of full Fuller House where Bob they made like Comet scratch or Cosmo scratched up the couch and they ended up making a blazer out of the couch, right, Bob laying down on the couch carrying like a full suit

We each have a Yeah, yeah, you know, I have mine hanging on the wall.

I do love it. I'm going to frame mind. That's such a good idea to preserve it in a better way because that's a piece of history. Only the person has the full couch, and that's John Stamos, right, So.

If you just said that whole damn thing, blog bag, you don't have to go to his house and cut out a piece of bags.

I ain't got time for that, right, Yeah, So it's very special, very special.

Okay, So let's see what else. So some full house stuff, and this is not necessarily full house prop, but it is.

An old album that my mom made look at that like all of the random.

Like magazine articles or what is this newspaper?

Okay, here's what John Stamos interviewed. Here's one of the questions. You've lost weight since you again? Do you have an exercise routine? What kind of car do you drive? I drive a truck, a Bronco. I also have an old Mustang and a motorcycle like Jesse.

Wait, is this like a team beat is? Questions? And all that sounds like.

Do you have any advice for your fans who wanted? What kind of girls do you go for?

All kinds as long as they're fun, like to like to be active and just play nice? And sincere, I don't know if he actually answered these questions or if it's you know, one of those things.

But oh my god, oh you're seeing this for the first time. I can tell it's Pam. That's Pam. It's the family with a baby doll. It looks like and John Posey the original Danny Tanner.

Space anyway, that's seems to be what's all in that book? But what a fun what a that is?

Like you're just you're sitting on a gold mine that is receless.

That's so so fun to look at with you.

Yeah, that was like a yeah, a live unboxing of Johnny Sweeten's memory. My gosh.

And then of course I have him, Oh, the one.

And only mister the original mister Bear, who I have, who's always in my office, and who's tie a little.

Askot is not tied the way that it was years ago.

And he's a little rumpled, and his hats kind of wonky, but he is well loved and well cared for.

And did your girl in pretty good shape? Did your girls ever asked to play with him? Or they just have no interest in mister No.

He wasn't, to be honest, he was in he was in a box for quite a while.

And then I think once I probably moved here, like maybe eight ten years ago, I got him out and he sits on my little on.

Your director's chair.

Yeah, what else do you have? What are your other items?

I have? Okay, what I have just all the Kimmy Gibbler accessories which I write out I brought out for nineties con like I've got my my doughnut purse. I have a bag of scarves. Again this is more fuller instead of full. But I've got the bacon and egg scarf, which yeah, you know, if you've been to our Instagram page you have seen, yes, Jody's placement of the yolks.

I mean it was right there.

But yeah, I've got like the crash shake the cupcake scar.

There's a burger scarf too, oh my god, which is like, you know, I think I only wore this one the scar do you know? I have a little mini bacon and egg scarf that they oh yeah, for the baby.

That's right, my baby, guys number.

For Stephanie's baby, little danity bacon and egg scarf and hat I have to I have that. I have that too. I think she gave one to each of the she wolves, so I think, yeah, that yes, which is so cute.

The little little egg.

Egg your cat so human. I also, this is the thing that I talk about that I stole from. Oh so this is not the original seapappy head, but in Fuller his hats gotten a little mangled.

And this is the Mariner statue that's right at the bottom of the living room stairs in case you're just tuning in right.

And in one of the first couple of seasons of Fuller, they have a thing where the kids, Ramona and Jackson, would they accidentally like decapitate the Mariner. So they had this styrofoam head made and then it just stayed on there forever because it was like distressed and made to look exactly like the old wood. So I knew it came off obviously. See, it just stuck right on the thing. And so the night that we wrapped, I was like, jokingly,

So I had to.

I had to put the head back, and they said I could have it, but they had to like register it back with the prop House and all that kind of stuff. So yeah, so then one day I opened my front door and there was this just sitting the sea pappy, the sea pappy on them.

That was a crazy night, Like not only was it the final taping of Fuller House. But I remember it was like a flea market, like everybody just rushed to grab like the kids and stuff were rushing to grab stuff, and and poor Coral or our producer, was like, wait, wait, you can't just take stuff, like everything has a bar code on it or something to yet, because it was owned by Warner Brothers, they I will show you on the back of this, Ah, see the member I took. Oh, that's from the kitchen.

It's from the kitchen.

It's it's actually it's like it's behind a piece of like matted glass so that it doesn't reflect, but it is an actual like three D cross stitch thing and it just says love is all we need.

And I always thought it was really cool.

And it's just been hanging in there, but it does have the Hollywood Cinema arts and all that stuff on here.

Because I think I might have just taken this off the wall and taken it home with me.

Well, yeah, that was it was. It was. There was a lot of stress. Coral was running around and everyone was running right. We took the mariners rights.

They literally set people.

Took the mariner's head and I was like, I don't know.

I knew.

I knew that you were taken him out to the car and we're like, do you have the Mariner's head? I was like yeah. They were like, you can't take it, but I really wanted I did.

I finally got it, but yay, just had to go through the proper channel, right right.

You know you can't just you can't just be taking heads off sea pappies and taking them home with you in your car.

Apparently there's I just.

I didn't check with anyone. I just took. But I took little things like the best, like the love is all we need. I just like, and I took the The last thing I took was the this picture of oh yeah, this was on the sorry, this was on the living room mantle. Yes, fireplace mantle. And it doesn't have glass in it like you like saying, because it would reflect. But I think this was at one of the John Stamos pool parties or something.

No, I think that might have been. What was this from?

You've got epic bangs in this?

I have epic bangs.

I we all was like, she's got.

Barbara's hair on her head.

She does, and I'm wearing a scrunchy.

Yeah, I think that might have been when we were in I think that's a picture from when we were shooting in Hawaii.

Oh you think that was Hawaii.

I don't know, because you didn't.

I was in Hawaii. I was not in the episode, but I was.

You were there, I feel because I feel like that or maybe a Disneyland or a disney World or something.

But I don't think it was at John's.

It wasn't it John's. And there's people in the background, so it is some sort of gathering.

Yeah, I think I have that picture somewhere in my stuff. I'll have to see what it's in there with.

But yeah, I'll have to look too, because I have this picture somewhere. Save.

The bangs in there are full on like eighties early nineties magic.

You can almost see the AquaNet.

Some are going up and some are coming down, and it's like a venus fly trap that could just suddenly snap together.

Yeah, you spent a lot of time on those bangs, I could tell, and you looked fantastic. It's just yes, uh love it. Good good memories anyway.

H Yeah, we you know, I did not know what I had prop wise, but I actually I have some prop but like memorabilia wise, I have some stuff.

I didn't think all of that stuff thanks to Janice Sweeten. Yeah that was You're sitting on a treasure and you didn't even know it. That was so cool to get this box like that's probably the only one in existence. Who else would have the front of the oat boats boat oat boat box? Yeah, nobody, you've got one?

I do, all right?

Cool? What a cool trip down memory lane.
