Welcome back to the Good Guys podcast. We are sitting here with the incomparable, the wonderful Jody Sweeten. Thank you so much for being here. I'm so happy to be here, Josh. So happy to be here. Hi, Ben. Hi. Look, this is a dream.

We're so excited to have you. I'm sure that in endless conversations, John Stamos comes up alongside you because of Full House. And all I have to say is we've had too much of John. We've had too much of John. I actually was just with John for the last week. Yeah, yeah. Tell us.

Tell us more. We, so we, the cast of Full House was doing. a fan convention, NostalgiaCon, in Orlando. And it was the first one, so they were kind of kicking it off with like a big, you know, so the cast came.

So it was myself, John, Dave Cooleyer, Lori Lachlan, and Andrea Barber. So there were five of us. Oh, fun. So much fun. But John is a huge Disney nerd,

as the world knows. Sure. I also am a huge Disney nerd. John and I geek out about a lot of the same stuff. It's weird. So when I, And he called me before we were going to the convention.

And I jokingly said, I was like, the only reason you're doing this is because it's in Orlando and you can go to Disney World, right? And he was like, well, yeah. Great. I was like, smart. So then he goes, wait, I'm doing some social media stuff and I'm like speaking at a Disney college thing that with their students. Like, why don't you come do that with me?

And then we can go in the park a couple days. And I was like, yeah. So I have like rearranged a couple things in my schedule. I flew out last Wednesday and we did some fun social Disney stuff. and the speaking engagement thing. And then we just went to the park for like a couple days. And then we had our convention days on Saturday, Sunday. And Saturday night, we all, the cast, minus Dave,

because he just, after the cancer just doesn't quite have the energy. Understandable. But we all went to Magic Kingdom. And we wanted a bunch of rides and roller coasters and watched the parade and the fireworks. It was so much fun. And it was a moment. I mean, we haven't been together in Disney World for 30 some odd years. Did you guys need the Musad to protect you?

The entire full house cast in the Magic Kingdom. I know, right? You know what I will say is if you're ever, if you're going to do Disney, do it with John. Because, you know, he's got his awesome guides who he's had for like 20 years. They're like part of his family now. And they were so sweet and wonderful. We had a couple security that night when it was all of us we had, I think, two guides and like three security.

But it was funny because we're walking around and like it was nighttime. So it wasn't quite, you know, your night, people are not quite as paying attention. But the guides give you away. They see two guides walking and they're like, oh my God. But John would get recognized, but it had kind of a lull in it. And he was like, we got to get recognized more. We've got to warn all this security that there's bending on it. So we'd be like jokingly walking around and he'd just be like,

Hemmersey. Yeah. And then I'd be like, rude. And then, yeah, it was ridiculous. I'm in the back going headaches. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, it was, it was really fun. And,

you know, I got to spend so much time with John and Caitlin and Billy. And just, it was great. I got to kind of hang with the Stamos fam. And we,

we geeked out over all sorts of, over the Muppets, because we're all, I'm also a huge Muppets fan, Disney, Lego. I've seen John actually do the not getting recognized for a while, but seriously? Like, not as a joke? Right. Like, I just mean looking at him going like, oh, you're broken like me.

Cool. Right, right. Oh, no, it was funny. Caitlin and I were joking and I said something. I was like, oh, I said, he just can't go anywhere. Always gets recognized. And she goes, don't worry, he'll be sad when they don't. Yeah.

He walks, you know, he does this like paperboy thing, like his paper boy hat, like he's in the cast of the fucking newsies. He had a hat and glasses on and then pants that didn't fit. I kept going, John, what is wrong with your pants? Pull your pants up. It's always that. I've seen him in his disguise before. He actually looks more conspicuous somehow. But he'll do this after a while if he's not getting recognized.

And by the way, I do the same thing. He'll go. Yeah. Oh, he did. They'll rip his hat off. And I'll be like, John. But honestly, he, it's not even, he, we were talking about it. Like, we love it.

And we have such amazing, sweet fans that get so excited. We were just talking about how grateful we are, actually, to like get recognized. And 40 years later, have people still give a shit about the show that we, you know what I mean? It's, we were just in this immense gratitude that like, wow, we get to look at like how much joy we get to. to bring to people in just little moments of time, you know, and it's really cool. Well, every time John comes on the podcast, it goes insanely viral.

He says something. He says dumb things all the time. Yeah. Like Josh and him are family. I love him vis-a-vis Josh, and we've hung out, and it's great, and he's the best. He literally gives us the greatest gifts. He really does. He just tells us front page news.

He says stuff. We were doing something, and he said to him. He's like, I don't like that, whatever. And I was like, John, you can't. You say they're in front of him. He's like, I don't do shit. And I was like, okay. All right, then go for it.

You know what I mean? But no, I just, I love him. And John and I've always, we were talking about it. Like, John and I and Uncle Jesse and Steph kind of seems to be a fan favorite combo of people. Yeah. And also, and I say this about you and everyone I've met from the cast. And obviously I know John the best. Like, it's unique to be as good to fans and people that come up to you as you guys are.

And I've gotten to see John in so many scenarios where he literally makes people's day. He does. He's so generous. He's the greatest. Yeah. It was so wonderful to see. It was really sweet. But it was funny because, you know, he'd get recognized and I'd kind of like take a couple

of stuff. He's like, wait, there's Stephanie Tanner. I was like, ah, I'm like, mostly not like I didn't want to be recognized. And like, but I was like, let's just cause the least amount of, you know, whatever. But he kept roping me in. And tell me about, I've done. now, I think two of them, what is doing something like nostalgia

con, like what's that, because it's a big day, right? It's like a long 10 hour day with all your fans, your signing autographs, you're taking pictures. Yeah. What's the con world like? You know what? I actually love doing fan conventions for the reason that we have

such wonderful fans. And they're mostly families or kids or, you know what I mean? Or it's like three generations, grandma, mom and kid that have now, that watch the show together, you know? It is, it's, it is such a crazy, it's so, like I walk out of those things with such gratitude

because I realize how fortunate I am that I can focus on someone for a couple minutes and talk to them and, you know, and they'll have a moment that like, that excited them and that they remember for the rest of their lives. Right. You know. I mean, John and I in Disney World ran into a couple that was getting married this past Monday and forever was their first dance song. And so John and I did a little duet in a video and sang it in the middle of like some Coca-Cola, you know.

But we were like, can you imagine if that was you? And you're like, we were at Disney World and then they sang and it was our first. It's just amazing. It's amazing. So, no, the Con World is fun. This one, NostalgiaCon, it was like the first one. So they're still kind of building up their, building up their audience. And they also didn't give it as much lead times.

It was only like five weeks as opposed to usually they start advertising like three, four months in advance. So it wasn't as hectic as a lot of them are. But in that way, it was actually kind of nice because with us all together. Like we actually got to spend some time together and, you know, have fun. it. Ben, what was your first dance song? My first dance song? No, like when you got

married. Like what was... Oh, whoa, whoa. What was my... Oh, my wedding song was oh, from Twilight. A thousand years. Thousand years. Great song. Yes, I know her. I love you for the thousand years. Why can't I think...

My husband's good friends are there. Start to the C, doesn't it? Oh my gosh. Why can't I think, yeah? I'm like, I'm like I Way to be a thousand years. I can't, I can't. Oh, isn't that? It is Christina Perry. Yes, I'm like, Perry.

Okay, yes, yeah, Christina Perry. Christina Perry. Yeah. Beautiful song. Yeah, it's a great song. Beautiful song. I was like first dance song. I don't know.

The Macarena. Yeah, right, yeah. Like when and where. Right. My first concert was in sync. I went with my mom in the fourth grade. Speaking of like, is there also, and I've noticed this in, in It can be in the convention world, but just naturally, like, obviously, we've had the great Miranda Cosgrove on.

And I get a little bit protective because, like, when I've worked with actresses who are beautiful, like, it sometimes, they just get it sometimes get a different energy from fans. For sure. Oh, yeah. You definitely know the one, like, you know, if, like, the dude comes through that's like, you know, older and by himself, you're kind of like, hmm. Okay. And sometimes, sometimes they'll buy, like, the early full house photos. and I'll be like, is this weird? You know what I mean?

But I just hope they're fans of the show. Now, speaking of while we're on topic, of John coming on the show and giving us the scoops, you know, the first time he was on the show, he talked about. What did he do? The famous lore that he said is absolutely true that he fired the Olson twins.

He did, he was like, we need to try, you know, we're not out of these babies aren't working. That's my impression of John, by the way, because he always, It was always a little frazzled, but I would play with my hair, but the headphones get in the way. But it'll scratch his head and flop his hair all out and be, ah, da, yeah, da, da. Did you remember that when that happened?

I remember. I mean, we did it for like one episode, and then it was like, yeah, no, no, no, no, no, drunk babies. Or not even an episode. I don't even know if we ever recorded with them. But, you know, when they were babies in the beginning. beginning, and they're, you know, eight or nine months old, they're like, what am I doing? What are these cameras? What's happening? Almost shouldn't be allowed.

Right. Yeah, no, sorry. Yeah, almost. Yeah, no, but, you know, it was, I think, you know, John was hoping that we'd get, this was when John was young and didn't understand how babies work. Of course. Professional babies. More professional babies.

Right, right. Basically, that, he was like, I need professional babies. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, yeah, yeah, right, exactly. And that, you know, so we tried it and it just didn't work. And, and, you know, we always say, like, the exact right people wound up on this show. And it was, it is the sort of magic of this cast together that made the show. Yes.

What is it like having, and we joke about this a lot, mostly because I've been in a lot of reboots and I completely tanked. What? Yeah, like first season or less. But like you

and I really am so glad I got a chance to be a part of it and also I look up to you guys like you have one of the rare reboots that have been great and worked. What was that like coming back to it all those years later? You know if you could let the critics know that you thought it was great that would be awesome.

But the people, but the people we've never been a critic favorite. We've always been a fan favorite and that's what keeps on the air. Well, a little of both. But really, the fans are what, you know, wanted to see more of the Tanners. And it was, we were kind of the first big reboot to come back.

Right. You know, this was, I think this was pre-Conners, pre, you know, all of the more Wizards of Waverly or whatever. Like all of these other shows that started coming back, we were kind of the first one to do it. And we really, you know, it was, we had so much. fun and we just threw ourselves into it completely and it was silly and you know Candace and Andrea and I had ridiculous storylines and fun stunts and so and we just committed 100%

of ourselves to it and I think because people love this family it was like they just picked up where they left off you know and it was it was well written we had really great storylines we were able to sort of joke about ourselves, you know, there were a couple breaks of the fourth wall or, you know, whatever. Because you've got to, I mean, you have to be a little self, you know, deprecating. Yeah.

Especially these days. Audiences are a little more jaded and, you know, expect something not quite as saccharin. But we, I was always really proud of what we did on Fuller House. Minus, there were a couple episodes towards the end when Steph was having the baby. well, Kimmy was the surrogate and I was like, where's our baby shower episode? And instead, I was arguing with a clown. That was my storyline for the week

and wasn't pleased with it. So I, yeah, yeah. Solid. I let people know. Who's people? Our showrunners that took over for Jeff Franklin. Oh, great. Yeah, yeah.

I was like, why the hell am I? Really, guys? Like, of all the storylines we could do, I'm arguing with a clown And now I'm arguing with a clown about arguing with a clown. Sure. There's nothing better than watching a because, and granted, there's two sides to the story. But in general, in my experience, you know, these showrunners and these writers,

they've lived with these stories for weeks before, months before. And they've had to get it approved and signed off and all these things. And sometimes they're great. And sometimes they're just not. Right. But they will fight for it because it got approved. Right, right. They're like, my boss said that we're allowed to do it.

So let's just do it. Otherwise, I have to call eight people. Right. Well, and they had, you know, they were, I think, very new showrunners and weren't. There was a lot that happened when Jeff left that was not, that just didn't go well after Jeff Franklin left running the show. And, you know, we were able to finish out our last seasons and we did great and it was fun and we loved it. But, you know, it was, there were definitely, I think, things that Jeff probably would have listened to more or allowed us to do and explore and have more input in than I think, you know, we did in maybe some of the later seasons. But John would come in. And when John came in, it was, we were like, oh, God, here comes.

You know, we've got, we have dread it because we knew we'd be getting like 18 pages of a new script on show night, right, when we're doing the speed read through. because he'd be like, I'm not doing this. It's changes. But damn it, if he wasn't right, you know what I mean? Yeah, he had a great incident. He does. He really does. And boy, is that Jeff Franklin Rich.

Oh, Ben, I wish you could see this house. I was just to say, for those that don't know who Jeff Franklin is, maybe. So he was the, maybe just like give a little brief background of your history of working with him. Jeff Franklin was the creator of Full House. I started working with him, you know, when I was four and a half, five years old. And he is, you know, he is, you know, know the one responsible for bringing full house to the air. He's also the one responsible for making sure that Bob Sagitt was the dad.

Because we shot a whole pilot, you know, without Bob. Yeah, it was someone, who was it? John Posey. Okay. Who's, did you know that, Ben? I did. I saw a TikTok about it. Yeah, yeah.

I saw it. But anyway, we did that. And then Jeff, once Bob became available, was like, no, I need Bob. And they were like, no. And he was like, no, I need Bob. Like, we're just, this is what we're doing. And so, you know, because of his really clear vision, like he put together an incredible cast. Wow.

And he also brought, he was a part of the original portion of the reboot. Oh, yeah, yeah. He was the one, he and John and Candace and Andrew and I were the ones out like pitching it and coming up the story, you know, kind of the characters, what were, what the premise was going to be, all that kind of stuff. So, yeah, he was, I mean. And then he stepped aside and somebody else came in to run the show. It was less, yeah, sure. It was less stepping and more moving aside. Sure.

Sure. It's. It happens. It happens. This business is. But I imagine that's, but I imagine that's very difficult. Like as a consumer, it's on the flip side. It's kind of like you have eight, you have eight seasons of a show.

And all of a sudden they replace that character. Right. As if nobody would ever notice with a different actor or actress. Right. Right. And it's like, actually, we did notice. And I would assume that on the same, on the flip side, when somebody else is responsible for running and writing and doing the tone changes.

Yeah, for sure. And, you know, they, the newer showrunners of Fuller had kind of said, like, well, we didn't even watch the original show. We're like, well, maybe he should. Yeah, it, you know, and it, you know, it, yeah, but honestly, it was, I had grown comfortable enough and secure enough, again, in my ability and discernment of what works and what didn't, that there were things that I would go in and fight for. And I don't think I would have learned those skills.

You know, I learned to be confident in my decision or in my point of view. I was like, oh, no, I know I've worked. I know how to do this. And I can say what my opinion is. You know, I think a lot of times, particularly, you know, as child actors, we just go, uh-huh, okay. Sure. Yep.

Yep. Got it. And you just kind of do whatever's thrown at you. Oh, yeah. And, you know, inside you're like, this is. and this is I have the better than I could thought of a better thing. You know, and as you get older, you finally go, oh, I'm not a child actor anymore. I am, I am an adult and I get to have a say.

I wish I could relate, Jody. No, I literally, I mean, my wife is literally have to bat me over the head because my life up until I met her was always like, you want another one boss? Bigger faster? Right, bigger fat. What can I do to make you happy, right? Maybe this one will make my dad come home. Right. No, it's, it is true.

And then there was my stage mother giving me maybe the worst advice where I didn't know that the term milking it was bad. Because growing up. Or chewing the scenery. I've said this on the pod before my mom growing up would be like, milk it, Joshy. Oh boy. Was your mom related to gypsy mom? Rose Lee? Like, my God. She was.

And so I'd be like, bigger, better, mom. And that's how you got like a Disney show. Like this fabs. And then I remember I was once doing a scene on the Amanda show. Right. Which is the first thing I did on Nickelode. And the director looked at me and he was like, Josh. And he goes, and like, milk it like you're milking it.

Right, right, right. And you're like, oh, sweet. Doing great. Yeah, I was like. How about a thumbs up next time? And he's like, no, it's bad. That's disgusting. It's not good.

This is not, yeah, yeah. It's almost like Trump dancing. You know what I mean? Yeah, it's not a pleasing sight. All these child actors. They're just milking it. I'm putting in a new life for the child actors. I think they should be able to start working in utero.

I say when there's zygoats, let them work. Oh, man. Ben, should we get to some stories? I think that we should. We like to, you want to do weird news or a regular story? Sometimes, Jody, we go to the deep depths of the world and find weird stuff. I love it. I am all for weird.

You have anything weird, Josh? From the New York Post, I got a boob job. from a dead person's fat and it ruined my breasts forever. The thought of pumping her breast full of a dead person's fat didn't give Nicole goosebumps. Neither did she flinch at the $10,000 cost of AlloCare, a trendy non-surgical route to breast enhancement that uses ethically sourced cadaver filler.

Yes. So I guess she had previously spent $20,000 on two unsuccessful fat grafting procedures transferring it to her barely there bus. The New York Post said that, not me. And I guess... Damn it, New York Post. It says instead, she got breastful of rock-like, inoperable bumps,

cis, and causing her chest to feel like the surface of the moon. Wow. I mean, who evaluated that her boobs felt like the surface of the moon? with like, did Buzz Aldrin go? You know what that feels like? That's definitely what I felt on the moon. I mean, Mike, I, you know.

Okay, so she got, she got a boob job with, with the fat from a dead man. That's the injection. Okay, so they, basically, that's what a BBL is, right? Or BBW or whatever. Yeah, BBW is what I'm in too. BBBL. Yeah, that's a different one.

Oh, boy. That's me when I put on a wig. Right, right. But they take fat from one part of your body and, like, inject it into the other. But, yeah, I don't know. I mean, I've had gum surgery and had to use cadaver tissue. But it didn't work as well. Like now it doesn't often take your body rejects it as something foreign, which indeed it is.

Wow. And so, yeah, I think, I don't know, sucking fat from dead people probably, but maybe we've learned not a good idea. I don't know. Like how long do you have? How long do you have the fat? Like I would assume that your fat very quickly like goes away from your body. So you would need to basically somebody would have needed to have just died. And the first thing is we're taking out their fat.

Well, yeah. Well, if you donate. I mean, often when you donate your body to science, it's got to be pretty quick if they're going to use any of the organs and stuff. Yeah. They probably harvest the fat the same time they're harvesting other organs. So it's like, within, you know, hours after a person dies.

Got it. Maybe they just need to give it like a little, like an endermology. You know what I mean? Take it to a day spa and like work it out a little bit just with those whole suction things. That way wouldn't be so hard and lumpy. Massage it like kale. Right. You just like got to get in there.

Like wag you beef. Like wag you beef. You got to just massage it, you know. I love that. Absolutely. I bet I'm so happy that we covered that. That was. Now I, because, because I have so many questions now that I'm like, is this doctor doing this to other people?

I mean, what I want to know. Forget the, forget this lady with the whatever barely there. Who's doing this to her? What doctor is like, this is what I do? It was in this country. And can you do it when you're not dead? Like, is this like a, instead of saying I had weight, instead of saying I had weight loss surgery, could I just say that I've donated my fat to a woman's breasts? Well, that's what liposuction is.

It's sucking the fat out of your body. But you don't have to say that you had lipo. I gave a donation. Right. I was, you know what I'm saying? I'm reframing the conversation. I don't draw it to one's breaths. But I do think, I think that's a no.

I think I'm personally, just going to go with now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I get it. It's like Francia giving Selena Gomez her kidney. Like you gave your fat to someone's poop job. I donated my fat to your breasts. It is. It's a nice story.

It's the circle of life, truly. Yeah, yeah. Well, another story of the New York Post. Oh, the New York Post is such a source of random shit. I love it. It's the paper of record for the good guys.

it is creamy, it is delicious. It's everything you need. It's so funny you bring up the Starbucks blended pink energy drink what I'm enjoying right now. Watch for the sip. Is this ASMR? Did you hear the after? I didn't put that on at all.

And I've gone to 15 years of acting class. You'd think I'd be further in my career. I digress. But this is so fruity. It's so refreshing. And you know what else is great? It's got a little boost of energy for on-the-go dads like Gus.

Or if you're just on-the-go. We could always use a little boost of energy. And let me tell you with flavors of sweet strawberry and assa'i. I like my pronunciation. None of that a kai crap. Asaie are blended with real pieces of strawberry, coconut milk, and ice.

Josh, even your vegan wife can enjoy this. I love everything about this, and it's really, it's giving summer. I feel like I'm not in a podcast studio right now. I feel like I'm at a pool. I just put it in an order. I ordered, you ready for the order? I ordered a Caesar salad with grilled shrimp

and a side of fries because I deserve it. Oh, oh my God. And don't forget your blended pink energy drink from Starbucks, folks, if you're looking to switch up your order. This blended pink energy drink is it. I'm telling you, you won't regret it. It's a 10 out of 10. Order it on the app. The Starbucks blended pink energy drink, it's the drink of the summer.

I live in a home just one mile from my husband, and our marriage is now better than ever. Absence may really make the heart grow fonder. They say home is where the heart is, but for some couples, it's actually where there's spous. isn't. For Marcella Hill, that meant making the unconventional decision to move into her own apartment less than a mile from her husband. Yeah, they're living apart and they're making it work. Census data says that about 3.9 million married Americans live apart from their spouses, while relationship experts say some couples are intentionally choosing separate homes to preserve independence, reduce everyday friction, and help with any relationship on the rock.

I love it. Say more. I, so my husband, Ms. Gowell and I are both very, like, independent people. So we, you know, he goes and does his thing. He works in treatment as a clinical director and, you know, I'll go travel and do something. And, like, our dream, like, goal sort of thing is to own property somewhere. And I want, like, a few little, like, tiny homes on it. Mm. A compound. Yeah, he gets his tiny home. I get my tiny home. And then there's like the middle one where it's like, okay, I've got kitchen and like living room and whatever.

But I mean, I've heard a lot of people say that more time apart. Because it does, it reduces the like, the dishes and the laundry and the like the little things that make you just really not like a person on the day to day. I think it does keep some of the like mystery. And you have to be intentional about your time. It's not, you don't get used to the other person just always. being there. You're like, oh, let's, let's spend time together. What do you think, Ben? I think I agree with the latter that it's, I think that it is, for me personally, I can't,

I can't imagine we're, we're just different in that. I can't imagine living apart from my wife. We've been together 14 years and. Well, I've been married four times. So after a few, I think you just kind of go, maybe I, maybe I should have some space on my own. And by, and by the way, that make that makes perfect sense. I mean, I would assume, I think divorce rates are 50%. So I would assume that at least half the country might feel that reducing friction, I think it makes sense. Yeah. I think that what you said, though, at the end is important, even if you are in a great relationship that you love, it's very important to not take any of that for granted. You have a great, you have a great person next. You don't neglect them and take them for granted. And if being a part

helps you realize that, then I'm totally all for that. Right. I always. I also think that it's obviously significantly better than just like quickly getting divorced. Maybe see if time apart. Nothing's quick about divorce, my friend. Let me tell you. Nothing is quick. It's years. It's awful.

Okay. Okay. So bad divorces. We can talk about that too. Just kidding. No, I'm not kidding. But I just. Which one was the worst?

Oh God. Justin? No. I'm sorry. Oh, well, no. That was not a divorce. That was just a, I was just an insanity. Solid.

But yeah, yeah. But that was probably that. But no, it was, you know, I again, I'm one of those people like, oh, I get into something. And I'm like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Oh, no. I think I'm in a wrong choice. Yeah.

But I do, I think with kids, it's a different, I mean, it's kind of a different story. It's, you know, but I do, I mean, there's like divorced families that have the one house and the parents are the ones that switch off living in the houses so that the kids don't have to be disrupted going back and forth. And I think that's actually like a really decent solution to, you know, not disrupting the kids as much, being like, okay, well, we'll come back and forth. We each have our own place when we're divorced,

but we will come, the kids are here. I mean, obviously, that's not something everyone can do because that is expensive. But I heard that, and I was like, oh, that's, yeah, I just think that people assume that when you're in a relationship, you have to be and do everything with that person all the time. And I think it's really important to remember that like your individuality is what made you attractive to the other person,

the things that you have going on as you and for you. And I think a lot of times when you kind of sacrifice all of that in order to just meld with someone else, you can't help but get kind of resentful or, you know, more friction or whatever. But it is, I do think it's different when you have kids, you know, like living apart, you know, although I'm sure there's some parents out there would love it. That's really just like divorce parenting, you know.

What's one thing, Ben, that you love doing or one thing about cohabitating that you love and one thing that maybe if you had your druthers, you would take a little more independence of? Yeah, I mean, I think I'm very fortunate that I, and I'm sorry for those that have opposite experiences. I met my wife when I was 20. She was 18 and we've been together for 14 years. That's amazing. We're very fortunate. Yeah.

And I don't take that for granted for one second. That said, we also, just as you said, we are independent people. We depend on each other for a lot of things, but our interests are, there's never really any animosity towards if one wants to do something and the other isn't invited. Like those like clingy couples that show up everywhere together. Like people will always ask, like, I'm definitely a little more outgoing now. My wife is a little bit less. But there's no resentment. Like if I want to go to a dinner or I want to go to something.

Yeah. It's not like, people say, where's Claudians? Like, oh, she didn't want to come. Like, and that's okay. Yeah. My husband, he is like, he is supportive of me. He loves that I love to do things. He is not a peopley person.

And so we'll get invited to stuff. And he's like, you can go take a friend. Go with, you know, he's like, unless it's something, he's really want me to go. But really, I'm like, oh, I'll go. Yeah, I'll go have, you know, a night with my friends. Go to some stupid event or whatever. And great.

And we're done. And I come home. And it's, you know, because nobody likes dragging someone with them that's like, oh. Sure. You know, and I think people think that you have to. And you're like, no, you can't give the other person space to let go do things. And if it's not your thing, don't force it to be your thing.

100%. 100%. So, yeah, I think that like independence and dependence can coexist. Yes. And I think that it is about being fortunate and being with the right person to be able to do. that, but yeah. I think sleeping together is also one of the biggest things, not, not sex, but like actual sleeping. Right. Yeah. Is one of the things that drives most couples nuts. Like my husband is the lightest worst sleeper. I, once I'm out, takes me a minute to go out. Once I'm out,

dead to the world. There could be bombs going off and nothing. He some, you know, a mouse whispers downstairs and he's like, oh my God, I heard it, you know. So I do think that like, like, there's, situations like that where it's like it's a nightmare sometimes to sleep with someone else next to you it's not we have we have two we like lucy and ethelette but like two twin beds like the pushed up against each other in a king size thing with two separate duvets fascinating sick that that is key because you're not fighting over the blanket not fighting the blanket not and i'm telling you like it is this that is the smallest biggest difference like we just i can roll over and wrap myself up like a burrito he can do whatever

and we're not fighting over it in the middle of the night so no one wakes up angry that they're cold something that i thought about the other day i was doing we have the sponsor chili pad which is a mattress topper where you can change the temperature based on each side and i was doing adrid and i was thinking about it i'm so fortunate again that i married somebody that also likes to keep the room when we sleep freezing cold right we keep it at six 66 degrees. It's how we both love it. Freezing, okay?

There are couples out there. One wants to sleep at 80 degrees and the other wants to sleep at 66. Right. That would, like, if I married somebody that wanted to sleep 10 degrees hotter than me, I would want to sleep in different bedrooms. I want to sleep in different houses. I mean, but you don't ask that on a first date. You don't ask it on a first date.

It's things that you don't know about somebody. And it's things that are like, that's how you're fizzy. That's how your body works. That's how your body has worked for however many years. until this point, like, I think sometimes it's learning those things where and how you can make the little allowances for like life's little annoying things. You know what I mean? Maybe it's an agreement. I take care of my dishes. You take, like, no dishes get left in the sink for the other person to deal with unless they're my teenagers, in which case, there's always shit in the sink.

No dishes left behind. But, you know, I think it's like the little things like that, that, you know, it's just being considerate of your partner. And if you are a couple that likes a lot of space, go for it. So we have, we do. We do. We have a segment called Whatia Nuts, which is our gripes with people, places and things, both big and tall. Whatever's bugging you, okay?

Usually fun, lighthearted. I can go first and then from there. Okay, yeah, yeah, go first. And it might trigger something. So, oh, yeah. So the other day I was driving. And, you know, some license plates, like, make you think, like, what are you nuts? Like this woman's license plate, you ready for this?

Chaos HQ. Okay? Yeah. What do you? I like chaos. Chaos headquarters. Chaos headquarters. And I just thought so as I'm like, lady, what are you nuts?

Like if you got this for yourself, I just kept thinking like, are you like a chaotic driver? Is it a, I guess it was a bus? So you know what? Honestly, you're right. It is kind of funny. Maybe she's just like five kids jammed your bus. That's what I was going to say. She probably has like three to five kids.

And it's just. Chaos headquarters is what it is. It's chaos headquarters, but I just saw that. And I was like, oh, my God, what are you in? That's so funny. Oh, gosh, what is mine? Oh, I was in, I was with my daughter the other day in Sally Beauty Supply, getting nail polish or something.

And the young woman that works there was on the phone with a customer, obviously helping someone, telling them what was on, you know, oh, I have this and I have that, whatever. No shit. This older lady walks around the corner and goes, hey, hey, I need help. Hey, snapping at her. And I'm like, there's no way that she's talking to this lady. So the girl's still on the phone and is, you know, and she's like, I said, I think she's on the phone helping someone. And she said, well, I'm in the store right now and I need help.

And I said, oh, and don't we all know it? Yeah. Yeah. And then she walked away. But I was like, what are you nuts? This, like, this, this person is doing their job, and you don't, you want them to do their job only for you. You just got red to felt by Stephanie Tanner.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, I was like. I love your response. It was so good. Yeah, she was like, well, I'm in the store and I said, yeah, don't we all know it? And I just turned around. She was like, wham. And I was like, yep, great.

Bye. Bye, bitch. Yeah, I have no problem, like, saying stuff like that to people. If they're deliberately being rude or something, particularly I always have a problem. If I see someone being rude to wait staff, airline attendance, someone that is just trying to do their best and is dealing with things that are beyond their control and someone is laying into them, I lose it. I will intervene and be like, okay, hold up. You and your bad attitude, I don't know what's wrong with you, but you need to leave. It's called Sally's beauty, not Sally's ugly, hon.

Exactly, yeah. Then take us home. Well, first, anything that you want to plug, promote, we're so thankfully we're on the pod. Yeah. Like anything you want to talk about? Yeah, absolutely. So obviously, Howard Tanneritos is our Full House rewatch podcast that Andrea Barber and I do it. We are in the seventh season of watching Full House.

So we're nearing the end, but we started at the very beginning and have gone all the way through because we never watched the show. So it's been really fun and it's silly. And I, you know, just sort of poke fun at all of the ridiculousness. And then I have a really fun comedy show here in LA called Smoke Show with Sweeten, a comedy pageant. And we have created the first beauty pageant for comedians where we put them through the most insane, ridiculous beauty pageant you've ever seen where it's, you know, they pick their talents out of the mystery talent box. They don't know what their talent's going to be until they're on stage picking it. We do just all kinds of fun games. We have typically like a theme, this month's theme.

Our show is tomorrow night on Thursday, August 13th, and it's house party thing. Yeah. So we come up with games, questions. It's me and two friends of mine that produce it and write it. And we're the Lyric Hyperion in August 13th. And then we do it, we do like once a month. And I think we'll be back there in October. So, yeah, but check out Smokshow with Sweeten.com.
