Had 30 agents ready to go with shotguns and rifles and you name it. Five, six white people. Pushed me in the car. Basically, your stay-at-home moms were picking up these large amounts of heroin.

Starting point is 00:06:38 And so I'm 48. I'm like, well, I've got two years until I'm 50. So maybe I take these two years and I try to begin to get into the best shape of my life when I'm 50 years old. You know what I mean? There you go. So that's kind of the plan. fact you were talking to me on the first day of a cleanse which i've done maybe once or twice in my
Starting point is 00:06:59 life okay so we'll see how this shit works out you're you're just angry at this point yet because i it's what is it 10 o'clock in the morning so so far i'm good 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 just like i don't even know it's a guy's name my wife is one who put me on to all this stuff it's shakes for the first two days and then And it's like shakes in this food. It's like a liver cleanse. It's a detox. It's a thing.
Starting point is 00:07:28 It's a whole thing. Right, right, right. Is it like one of those like the press juicery ones where you buy it in the little thing? No. Hold on. It's this. I'm fascinated. What is it?
Starting point is 00:07:38 It's this. Oh, okay. It's called equal life or equilife. I don't know. Equal life. Okay. Yeah. My wife has one of her best friends is a holistic, like, genius.
Starting point is 00:07:49 And so she turns her on to all of these things. and so I'm going for it and it's shakes for two days straight and then there's like a little food and blah and I take these weird supplements I don't know well see you I think you'll be
Starting point is 00:08:04 how long is it 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 couple right you're like see if it does anything yeah it's fucking crazy though
Starting point is 00:08:21 like, I stepped on the scale with 196 pounds. I'm 6'1. 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 right. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:08:37 It's on none of it. Like when you actually find out what someone who you think weighs for women, you know, like 150, you're like, that's not, no. It's all. Right. Right. So, you know, I just want to feel better. Anyway, enough about me.
Starting point is 00:08:50 How are your cleanses going? To be fair, I got norovirus over the weekend. Oh, that's a great cleanse. I went to Yosemite to have a nice weekend away. And that was how I spent the weekend. No, I was just dying. Wow, so Yosemite, though. Were you camping?
Starting point is 00:09:14 Are you cabins? 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 was like, do you want to hike? I was like, no, absolutely not. But yeah, so it was not the weekend I expected, but it was the weekend I had. Well, Yosemite's amazing.
Starting point is 00:09:38 My son just did a trip up there with his class. It was just gorgeous. I mean, we did the drive, like, to Glacier Point and through Yosemite Valley. and sometimes I just need to remind myself that I am just a small little human in a gigantic world that doesn't really... Well, 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.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Exactly. It makes you feel sort of right-sized and remember like, oh, yeah, this is all temporary. So, yeah, that was... Totally. I'm with you. 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. My husband I always say like, humans won't be here. Nature will be fine. Humans will not be here at some point. Right. At some point. And the earth will keep on ticking. You know, so why? Why? Why? why do I have to take Lexapro?
Starting point is 00:10:49 Why am I on anxiety? Why do I have to feel right? Why do I have to get in shape before I'm busy? It both makes you go. None of this matters and also like I should make every little bit of it matters. And you have kids? I do. I have two daughters, 16 and 14.
Starting point is 00:11:06 And my younger one just turned 14. And where are you living? Are you in L.A.? Yeah, in L.A. In the valley. And so your girl, your oldest is in 9th? 10th or 10th or my oldest is in 11th grade and my younger one just started high school. This is the same as my boys.
Starting point is 00:11:24 My boys, Wilders, my oldest is in 11th and my, my boatie, my boy's in 9th. And I got in that with a daughter who's in fifth. Oh, nice. Yeah, yeah. We got two, we were both in high school now. Yeah, that's good. No, I know. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:39 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 nothing but they go take the bus so that's up yeah they're bus kids they were like we have to take the bus
Starting point is 00:11:55 I was like yeah yeah because you guys go in opposite directions I'm not going to deal with this and how do you sort of as far as your parenting style goes and skills go you know what I mean and with your husband too like are you guys on the same page
Starting point is 00:12:13 well so both I have my daughters with two different exes of marriages so my husband is an amazing stepdad he is super patient he is like the most mellow even keeled like if
Starting point is 00:12:29 shit starts getting hairy around here he's like I'm stairs with the dog you know smart in that way because he's outnumbered but no he is wonderful and you know it is I think parenting is the hardest thing
Starting point is 00:12:45 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 easy. I know. I know. I have a stepdad. You know, Kurt's my, I call him my dad, you know, I call him pa actually. Oh, that's what my kids call my dad as grandpa. 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 it's a high wire act 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 thing he's like but i want to back you up but i don't want to get in the middle but i you know it is it's
Starting point is 00:13:35 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 basically parenting them and yet you don't there's just a little lane that's not yours yeah yeah yeah yeah no i know and and it become and you know parents again it's sometimes you get territorial where you're like well it's my kid you know you're like of course oh my god of 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's me no because you're going to change constantly. Oh my God, I know.
Starting point is 00:14:18 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 says that he's like, I don't know what I'm doing. He's like, I'm not going to do that. Like, when I'm a parent, I'm going to let my kid do this. I'm like, Wilder. Right. Yeah, yeah. Wow. I was like, yeah. I said the same thing. No,
Starting point is 00:14:33 you're not. I had so many ideas as a parent when I was 16. I know. It's so funny. Yeah. No, and you really don't. I mean, I call my mom constantly to just say, Thank you for not killing me. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:14:49 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 15 or a 16-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 parents. Oh, my, oh, I just, my mom, I go, I am so sorry. I knew nothing. You were right. You were right. Yeah, no, I get the same. I've waited 30 years to hear this.
Starting point is 00:15:30 I get the same shit. Like, I'll begin the conversation. I'm like, Wilder, I'm 48. Right. Yeah. You've done this a billion times. Like, you need to trust me. You have to trust me at some point. No. No. No. But they won't. They won't. And I didn't. And you did it. No, I know.
Starting point is 00:15:49 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. No, it's so true. All of your life experience is going to mean nothing to them. I know. Until maybe a certain age when they revert back. Right. Until they're like, you know, mid-20s. They have a frontal lobe and they're like, oh.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Yes. Other people. Exactly. Exactly. Oh, my God. It's so, it's so, so, so true. And it's easy to fall into the trap of, as parents, like, listen to me. How are you not listening to me?
Starting point is 00:16:28 Because that's the way, there's a frustration there. But they have underdeveloped brains. They are teenagers to the core. They're like, you know, we cannot 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, me, yeah. Sometimes the best is meh. And sometimes I'm killing it. You two will have those things happen to you someday where you're like, I got this.
Starting point is 00:17:01 And then you don't got it, you know. Especially with the first one, you know, because I told that to Wilder and had a moment. I said, look, I said, I don't, this is the first for me. I said, unfortunately for you, Bodie and. in Rio, your siblings, are going to benefit from my mistakes with you. I'm trying to figure this shit out, just as you were trying to figure it out. So let's give each other some grace. And I will apologize to you when I'm wrong, which I just did yesterday.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Like I was like, dude, I'm sorry. I got a little hot. You know, I chose the wrong words, blah, blah, blah. You know, but, you know, 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 killing it on the balance beam.
Starting point is 00:17:49 And then some days you are falling way 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 Full House. Technically, I didn't. I didn't. So I was like four and a half years old.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Oh, shit. And I did, I started doing commercials when I was about four. September always feels like the start of something new, whether it's back to school, new projects, or just a fresh season. It's the perfect time to start dreaming about your next adventure. I love that feeling of possibility, thinking about where to go next, what kind of place will stay in, and how to make it feel like home. I'm already imagining the kind of Airbnb that would make the trip unforgettable,
Starting point is 00:18:41 somewhere with charm, character, and a little local flavor. If you're planning to be away this September, why not consider hosting your home on Airbnb while you're gone? Your home could be the highlight of someone else's trip, a cozy place to land, a space that helps them feel like a local. And with Airbnb's co-host feature, you can hire a local co-host to help with everything, from managing bookings to making sure your home is guest ready.
Starting point is 00:19:07 Find a co-host at Airbnb.ca slash host. The Super Secret Bestie Club podcast season four is here. And we're locked in. That means more juicy chisement. Terrible love advice. Evil spells to cast on your ex. No, no, no, no. We're not doing that this season.

Today, we have a very special guest with us. Our new Super Secret Bestie is The Deva of the People. The Deep of the People. I'm just like text your ex.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Okay. My theory is that if you need to figure out that the stove is hot, go and touch it. Go and figure it out for yourself. Okay. That's us. That's us. My name is Curley. And I'm Maya.
Starting point is 00:19:55 In each episode, we'll talk about love, friendship, heart breaks, men, and of course, our favorite secrets.

Hi, I'm Janica Lopez, and in the new season of the Overcover podcast, I'm taking you on an exciting journey of self-reflection. Am I ready to enter this new part of my life? Like, am I ready to be in a relationship? Am I ready to have kids and to really just devote myself and my time? I wanted to be successful on my own, not just because of who my mom is.

Starting point is 00:20:57 as part of the MyCultura podcast network on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. I had this like overwhelming sensation that I had to call it. right then. And I just hit call. I said, you know, hey, I'm Jacob Schick. I'm the CEO of One Tribe Foundation and I just wanted to call on and let her know there's a lot of people battling some of the very same things you're battling. And there is help out there. The Good Stuff Podcast Season 2 takes a deep look into One Tribe Foundation, a non-profit fighting suicide in the veteran community. September is National Suicide Prevention Month, so join host Jacob and Ashley Schick as they bring you to the front lines of One Tribe's mission.
Starting point is 00:21:38 I was married to a combat army veteran. And he actually took his own mark to suicide. One tribe saved my life twice. There's a lot of love that flows through this place and it's sincere. Now it's a personal mission. Don't want to have to go to any more funerals, you know. I got blown up on a React mission. I ended up having amputation below the knee of my right leg and a traumatic brain injury because I landed on my head.
Starting point is 00:21:59 Welcome to Season 2 of the Good Stuff. Listen to the Good Stuff podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. It may look different, but Native culture is very alive. My name is Nicole Garcia, and on Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we aim to explore that culture. It was a huge honor to become a television writer because it does feel oddly, like, very traditional. It feels like Bob Dylan going electric, that this is something we've been doing for a hundred of years. You carry with you a sense of purpose and confidence. That's Sierra Taylor Ornelis, who with Rutherford Falls became the first native showrunner in television history.
Starting point is 00:22:37 On the podcast, Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we explore her. her story, along with other Native stories, such as the creation of the first Native Comic-Con or the importance of reservation basketball. Every day, Native people are striving to keep traditions alive while navigating the modern world, influencing and bringing our culture into the mainstream. Listen to Burn Sage Burn Bridges on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. How did that happen? Meaning, is this something you wanted to do?
Starting point is 00:23:15 Was your, did your parents, you know, like, how did that work out? Were they hesitant about saying, fuck, are we going to let our little girl 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 tap and jazz. and the second I would get in front of people at a recital or whatever, I was like moving people out of the way to edge my way up to the front. You know, I loved being on stage.
Starting point is 00:23:51 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 could read. And so, you know, my parents knew I was smart. I needed a challenge. I needed, I liked being busy.
Starting point is 00:24:11 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, 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 I would just keep booking stuff.
Starting point is 00:24:41 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 until 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 Poole's niece, or excuse me, Mrs. Poole, I played Pamela Poole.
Starting point is 00:25:15 I was her. And I did one episode of that as a guest star. And it was the same producers. It was Miller Boyette and Jeff Franklin and Rich Carell. And that was how I became Stephanie was I did that one episode and they were in the process of developing the whole house. And I was the first person cast. Really?
Starting point is 00:25:36 Yeah. Yeah. So they, like, my tape and Jeff Franklin was like, that's Stephanie. And so, yeah, it was, um, again, just none of this was ever the plan or the like, yeah, we, 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 37, 28 years later, weirdly. still having fun doing this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, 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,
Starting point is 00:26:21 but I remember our first table reading. And John Stamos always tells the story because he jokingly tells the story that after he left the table read and I got more laughs than he. did, uh, that he literally called his agent and was like, this kid's going to 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, he's there's still
Starting point is 00:26:47 an out. Yeah. John, there's not. Um, but yeah, he like, I, it, he was like this little pipsqueak sitting on her knees up at the table. He said, and you were sitting there reading the script, like the, the adults. He said, it was wild. Um, 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.
Starting point is 00:27:21 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.
Starting point is 00:27:44 And what do you attribute that to? I mean, just the set, the energy and your parents? Yes. Miller-Boyette sets, I will say that family matters, perfect strict, you know, all of these, particularly their shows with kids, step by step, all of that, they really, really, really put the kids' welfare at the forefront. 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.
Starting point is 00:28:23 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 who were all family people who were all like that was who they were, was, you know, they were in their 20s. God, I can't believe. I know. Since they were in their 20s. But they were young guys who wanted to have families someday. So they were kid friendly.
Starting point is 00:28:56 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 in all of my own. That's amazing. So I'm very grateful for that. That's amazing, yeah, because it could have gone so many different ways, you know.
Starting point is 00:29:18 I mean, did you see that Nickelodeon documentary? Yeah, you know, I didn't watch it because I think I have, I have so many friends who I know the stories directly. I was like, I don't need to watch. Yeah, I know. It was gnarly, though. I mean, it's crazy shit. It is, but that is, there is, you know, there is a lot of that in this business.
Starting point is 00:29:39 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 of. Yeah, yeah. So I've worked, I worked with Candace. I did actually do a Hallmark movie with her a million years ago. Oh, nice. And then I worked with Stamos. I did Scream Queens at Ryan Murphy Show for two years. Yes.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, and then I knew Bob very well because he used to date a friend of mine named Juliet, Rougalus, Rougalus. Oh, I remember Juliet. 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. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:26 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,
Starting point is 00:30:47 that is absolutely the most at-piece way he could have. Yeah. You know, 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 appreciation and pride for himself. What he's done his whole life, you know, and for like getting to have a killer show and do that.
Starting point is 00:31:15 Because, you know, sometimes you go out and stand up and it's like, yeah, yeah, I don't know the mob has that happen anymore, but, but, you know, it was, I just, I was, it 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 haven't been doing any occasionally, or recently, rather, because I have been working, but I have a show that I do here in L.A. 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 um it is so basically what the concept is is uh 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
Starting point is 00:32:20 they kind of tie it into that like a you know a favorite camping food if that's our thing um 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 that Bob Saggett 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.
Starting point is 00:32:52 Go for it. And we have so much fun. It's a great, it's been a really 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, we know each other well. And I was like, dude, this guy's dirty as fuck.
Starting point is 00:33:12 Yeah, I mean, he was always bad, you know. And so everyone was like, when did you know? I was like, when did I know? 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 crazy yeah it's great and you know one of the huge lessons
Starting point is 00:33:33 that I learned from Bob and Dave who suffered a lot of loss and tragedy in their life is I watched them absolutely make the darkest jokes at themselves at
Starting point is 00:33:51 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 I couldn't agree with you more
Starting point is 00:34:07 the second that you do the second you do you're like oh yeah it doesn't know it's so true it's like a pressure valve release you know yeah pressure valve and I have a I thanks to Bob have a very dark sense of humor I actually outbobbed Bob at our rap party
Starting point is 00:34:24 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, Joe, this student has become the master.
Starting point is 00:34:39 And I was like, did I, did I out bob you? And he was like, yeah, that was, wow. And I was like, oh, my, this is, that's it. It was a, it was a victory moment. Oh my God. You're like, what have I done? I was like, I don't know, but it's your fault. Amazing.
Starting point is 00:34:56 That's so funny. But being a stand-up comic, that's got to be nerve-wracking, man. Like, I have so many stand-up comic friends. You know, I work with Bobby Lee for two years. We became really, really close on the show. And he goes, dude, you're funny. Like, I'm going to get you five minutes at the comedy store.
Starting point is 00:35:19 I'm like, no way. I shit 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.
Starting point is 00:35:45 Which is both freeing and also, it's like there's a certain like, oh, it doesn't matter because I'm not 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 great. And then, yeah, I did. And then I've done a, I've done that show a couple times. I operate well better, better in that scenario than writing jokes.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Because that, for me, that was it. Like, my humor comes off the cuff. It comes in more of an improvisational. arena, 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 brain goes, I don't know, but I was doing it now.
Starting point is 00:36:32 But no, I have been much better about, you know, get writing stuff. And I've got some really great friends, my friend Ben Glebe and my friend Chris Bowers and, you know, obviously Jeff Ross and those guys. Mike Binder, you know, so many of Bob's comedy friends have really loved and supported me in kind of doing some of this new stuff. September always feels like the start of something new, whether it's back to school, new projects, or just a fresh season. It's the perfect time to start dreaming about your next adventure.
Starting point is 00:37:08 I love that feeling of possibility, thinking about where to go next, what kind of place we'll stay in, and how to make it feel like home. I'm already imagining the kind of Airbnb that would make the trip unforgettable. somewhere with charm, character, and a little local flavor. If you're planning to be away this September,
Starting point is 00:37:27 why not consider hosting your home on Airbnb while you're gone? Your home could be the highlight of someone else's trip, a cozy place to land, a space that helps them feel like a local. And with Airbnb's co-host feature, you can hire a local co-host to help with everything from managing bookings to making sure your home is guest ready. Find a co-host at Airbnb.ca slash host. I had this, like, overwhelming sensation that I had to call it right then.
Starting point is 00:37:55 And I just hit call. I said, you know, hey, I'm Jacob Schick. I'm the CEO of One Tribe Foundation. And I just wanted to call on and let her know there's a lot of people battling some of the very same things you're battling. And there is help out there. The Good Stuff Podcast, Season 2, takes a deep look into One Tribe Foundation, a nonprofit fighting suicide in the veteran community. September is National Suicide Prevention Month. So join host Jacob and Ashley Schick as they bring you to the front lines of One Tribe Foundation.
Starting point is 00:38:20 Tribe's mission. I was married to a combat Army veteran and he actually took his own life to suicide. One tribe saved my life twice. There's a lot of love that flows through this place and it's sincere. Now it's a personal mission. I don't have to go to any more funerals, you know. I got blown up on a React mission. I ended up having amputation below the knee of my right leg and a traumatic brain injury because I landed on my head. Welcome to Season 2 of the Good Stuff.

Like, am I ready to be in a relationship? Am I ready to have kids and to really just devote myself and my time? I wanted to be successful on my own, not just because of who my mom is. Like, I felt like I needed to be better or work twice as hard as she did. Join me for conversations about healing and growth.
Starting point is 00:39:19 Life is freaking hard. And growth doesn't happen in comfort. It happens in motion, even when you're hurting. All from one of my favorite spaces, The Kitchen. Honestly, these are going to come out so freaking amazing. Be a part of my new chapter and listen to the new season of the Overcomfit Podcast as part of the MyCultura podcast network on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. It may look different, but Native culture is very alive.
Starting point is 00:39:50 My name is Nicole Garcia, and on Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we aim to explore that culture. It was a huge honor to become a television writer because it does feel oddly, like, very traditional. It feels like Bob Dylan going electric, that this is something we've been doing for a kind of two years. You carry with you a sense of purpose and confidence. That's Sierra Taylor Ornelis, who with Rutherford Falls became the first native showrunner in television history. On the podcast, Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we explore her story. story, along with other Native stories, such as the creation of the first Native Comic-Con or the importance of reservation basketball.

Starting point is 00:41:00 and hot takes. God, that sucks so hard though. I'm so sorry. Can you out petty them? Can you match their pettiness for funsies? Yeah. We had so much fun last season, laughing, crying, talking to some new and old friends. Remember when we were in that scene where you guys were just supposed to hug and I was standing. Oh, yeah. And I was like, can I also hug them? I'm like, this
Starting point is 00:41:26 has no friends. This time around, we are, say it, Melissa. Should I? Say it. Getting a little more better. Oh, finally. It's all the dressing room talk you loved in season one.
Starting point is 00:41:38 All the things. Because aren't we all trying to get a little more better? Listen to more better on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And 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 days of, you know, 24.
Starting point is 00:42:00 And you started at, how old were you when you were on the show? I was just five when I started the show, and I was 13 when it ended. Okay, so just through the process of that, you know, and growing up basically having a chop, a child on the show, you know. Yeah. Was there any, not regrets, but like, was there any sort of part of you that wished 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.
Starting point is 00:42:36 Right. You know, I always, 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 um 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.
Starting point is 00:43:15 I think if I were just in a normal school environment, I would have been really bored. Were 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 kids. So how did that work for you, though? Meaning like, holy shit, after year three and four, it's like, okay, well, you're this.
Starting point is 00:43:32 Well, it was kind, you know, I had started going. I mean, I switched schools every few years just moving and whatever. And 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 friends are.
Starting point is 00:44:07 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, feel things to handle in elementary school. Yeah, no, I know, you know, because again, you know, sometimes people get a little mouth in, you're like, all right, let's go. Yeah, you can deal, you have to deal with that, you know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:37 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, yeah, I just, I don't think I would have been as happy just doing sort of the normal kid thing. I wanted more. Was there like a sibling dynamic on your show, you know?
Starting point is 00:45:16 I mean, but did it feel, did it feel sibling-y? Oh, for sure. I mean, you know, me and Candace and Ashley and Mary Kate, I was super close with Ashley and Mary Kate. Candice 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.
Starting point is 00:45:36 So, you know, I'm like, I'm with the cool kids. And she had, you know, Andrea Barber on the show who, but Andrea and I were very close too, but, you know, she had that and then I was the middle one that was like, hey, tell you a stupid knock, knock, joke, you know. Art imitated life, essentially. Right. And then, you know, she's just like, would you go away? And, you know, you know, just hanging out with like the little ones.
Starting point is 00:45:59 And so it definitely was a sibling dynamic. And it was, I mean, we were and still are very much of. 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 20s i mean they've all known each other too since they were like 18 19 in various ways so it you know we've all grew up together really yeah it was definitely i'm an only child in in real life so i got like a taste of what I like to have siblings. And I think in my age and wisdom, I have realized I did much better as an only child.
Starting point is 00:46:42 Oh, really? Yeah. And now that I have to, I'm like, yeah, I think I was, I was meant to be an only child. The show gave you a little sample size of what it might have been. Yeah, I was like, oh, no, I think I just want to be. Yeah. 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.
Starting point is 00:47:05 And Fuller House, is it still going or no? No, we finished in 2019. Oh, you did a while back, okay. 2019, which was right before the pandemic. You did two, was you two seasons? Five. We did five seasons of that. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:47:20 Yeah, but I mean five seasons of Netflix seasons. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. How was come? How 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 my god how fun was that though oh it was it was i i can't put into words what an experience was and we were
Starting point is 00:47:55 one of the first like reboot shows really to come back and it was you just never thought, you know, at 13 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 30 some years and do it all over again, except now I get to be part of the adult. Yeah, it's pretty cool. And we're going to be back on the same exact soundstage and we're going to be back, you know, some of our same supervisors and our like, you know, just it was, it was truly a huge gift and then for it to be as successful and as, you know, well loved as it was coming back.
Starting point is 00:48:50 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 show. I'm saying just overall for a show. That's what I mean. Overall, like, it just, it was lightning in a bottle twice, you know? It really was. And I think, you know, part of the reason when we came back for Fuller, we knew that fans absolutely loved this show. And it was funny, but we'd go pitch at places. And they were like, I just don't know people will want to watch. We were like, trust me. We know the fans, they're going to want to watch. And they did, and they showed up and they loved the show. 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 the year.
Starting point is 00:49:33 Since it aired in 1987, it has been on syndication forever. Now it's on streaming, so bye-bye residuals. But, you know, it's been on forever. So we've never stopped building kind of new generations of four-house fans. So, yeah, it's been a really great gift. I'm going to 90s 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.
Starting point is 00:50:02 But, yeah, 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 to come to these 90 cons, these cons that are like, I'm from Brazil and I literally came to meet the full house. like it's just it's where is it this one is in 90s con this one's in florida i want to say tampa we just like florida and then there's one that's more on the east coast that um that i've done in hartford connecticut um 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 i'm you know once you become
Starting point is 00:50:59 a parent and you know like how it gets to meet 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 have like five minutes with you I want to talk about your podcast your rewatch right yes how long you've been doing that we well let's see we are I think we're like halfway through season three now rewatching but we're it's been like two seasons of the how's it going is 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 Andrea and I because she and I never watched the show. Like some
Starting point is 00:51:41 of these episodes I've never, like, I did this when I was five. I didn't care of watching it. How is that for you? Forget about the fans for a second. You rewatching it 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. it is remembering things you haven't thought about in how many 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.
Starting point is 00:52:09 And then some of it is just hilarious making fun of each other and fashion and hair. There's just like, mullets galore. Oh, like the mullets. So, you know, it's fun to go back and just kind of poke fun at it or watch it or
Starting point is 00:52:26 even, you know, 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 he wanted to do that show, why he wanted to do an episode where Danny didn't know and, you know, eat it outside hell, all these sorts of things. So it's been fun to delve into that, too, and ask questions that you didn't ask as a kid. Would you know? You just showed up. up and did your thing, and then you're like, bye. Well, I mean, if you think about it, too, if I'm thinking back to my five-year-old self,
Starting point is 00:53:01 I don't have much memory of it, you know, but for you, maybe, because you were in such a different space and a different job, and it was fantastic, do you, I mean, or do you have, like, no recollection? You're like, I don't fucking remember this, like. Oftentimes I'm like, what was that? What? But then there were a moment. and it's usually for me, like, weird little tactile things
Starting point is 00:53:27 where I'm like, oh, I remember those boots. I remember those swayed 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 going, you're like seven and you're doing that.
Starting point is 00:53:49 You know, it's kind of mind-willing. Yeah. Well, I'm going to let you go. So great to talk to you, Oliver. Great to talk to you, too. Good luck with everything. Thank you so much. You still doing that comedy show?
Starting point is 00:54:03 I am. I'm doing family dinner. I'm not sure when our next one is going to be scheduled probably the end of September. You'll come check it out. But if you want to come, let me know. I'll send you info and come down to the show at the comedy stores. Awesome. All right.
Starting point is 00:54:16 Thank you. All right. Bye, Oliver. Thanks. Oh, yeah. 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,
Starting point is 00:54:31 for fear that she would go off the rails. Obviously, Jody'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. Bye.
Starting point is 00:54:58 In early 1988, federal agents race to track down the gang they suspect of importing millions of dollars worth of heroin into New York from Asia. Had 30 agents ready to go with shotguns and rifles and you name it. Five, six white people pushed me in the car. I'm going, what the hell? Basically, you're staying. home moms were picking up these large amounts of heroin. All you got to do is receive the package. Don't have to open it, just accept it.
Starting point is 00:55:25 She was very upset, crying. Once I saw the gun, I tried to take his hand, and I saw the flash of light.
