Speaker 1: I welcome to episode one thirteen of the Bobby Cast. I'll say first of all that this was supposed to be the Jason outd in week and I got really sick and so I had to call it Jason and say, dude, don't come to my house unless you want to get the butt flu. That's what I had, the butt flu. So he didn't come to the house. And I'm sorry I can't bring that to you, but we're trying to reschedule right my d here working on it. Do you tell him I had the Buttfalu, I did let him know you had the butt flu? What? Um? What did you tell them? Exactly? You're feeling pretty sick. Um, you had to go home and you weren't going to do anything for the day. So they're fine. Other time, are you awake? By the way, it's early in the morning. We were recording this before the radio show on Friday. Yeah. So just because last night I'm sitting at the house, I'm reading this story about full House and how on Full House there was an original Dad before Bob Saget, and so I put up a whole instant story and by the time you hear this, it'll probably be gone. Do I have it written down here or now? Okay, So if you go to YouTube and this is what this whole Bobby cast about, these are TV mind blowns oh, I need to say. It's being brought to you by Quip, and I'll talk about Quip in just a second. So if you go over to YouTube and you search for Full House Season one, unaired pilot, and you watch the shoot shooting, do du do dude, and you hear this theme right here right The original dad wasn't Danny Tanner played by Bob Saget. It was some guy named John Posey. And it looks completely weird, and I it's gonna question everything, like all my life. The guys that like shorter, stocky Italian guy, curly hair and he's doing everything with the kids that Bob Sagga does in the opening and closing a full Now I didn't see the full episode. Was it on YouTube? I don't think the full episodes there no the only shot because I looked for the full episode, I couldn't find it. I think they shot it, they just never put it out. Well, they never put even this out. It was on the DVD release of season one. So this that's why everyone kept arguing with me on Instagram, like, no, that's not real man. We have seen every episode, yes, so head I I've seen every episode of Full House, and even I was shocked that Bob Saggett wasn't the original Dad, but he was the first choice. And here's where it gets a little dicey. Bob Saggett was the first choice to play Danny Tanner, but he was working on a show on CBS called The Morning Program. Now, after Bob Saget, they wanted Paul Riiser from My Two Dads, Mad About You. They couldn't get him either, So they didn't have Bob Saget. They didn't have Paul Riiser. Their third choice was this guy, John Posey. He got the job. I did a bunch of read in this but I stid up all night last night reading did you read the interviews with this guy John Posey? I didn't find the interviews. That's crazy. So John Posey is working in a comedy troup in Atlanta, and someone from I believe it was ABC, is that a Full House was on back into a t JF Okay, so from ABC sees his comedy troup pulls him to the side, says, hey, we're doing this show. It's a family show. It's full house. He's like cool, So he goes out, he tests for he gets the job. He's living in Atlanta. He packs all the stuff in a U haul. They shot the pilot already, He's going across the country. They page him this John Posey guy. So he gets Paige and he's going, okay. He pulls over, calls on a pay phone. His agent goes, hey, dude, you don't have the job anymore. He's like, what do you mean to have the job anymore? I just did the pilot. They picked it up. They said, apparently they wanted Bob Saga from the beginning. He's on a different show. They just fired him from that show. So they're gonna bring him in a test, and he goes, when you bring him in a test? He said, yeah, basically, don't have the job anymore. But he's like, I already got the job. So he turned back around, went back home, moved back to l A. Apparently he's done some other stuff. He was in um this John Posey's was in teen Wolf on MTV that ran for like six years. His son is actually teen Wolf his last name is Posey. His son, so I'm researching his son. His sons an actor, pretty well known actor. He this guy's been in UMU, did the How to Get Away with Murder a little bit. He's done other things, but he really hasn't splashed because that created Bob Saget's career. He did America's Funny at Home videos millions of dollars. Still he's getting millions of dollars from Full House. So yeah, they reached out the pilot with Bob Sagett and that's what you see now. But they shot it and he talks about this John Posey guy, how all the kids were really upset whenever they switched out the dad because they've never met Bob sagg At first, and that especially DJ and Stephanie because they were a little older. The babies they didn't know the difference Michelle Tanner's the Mary Kay Nashley's. But the kids that knew were upset because you know, they're young kids and they had just spent a month, a month and a half working with his TV dad and now Bob Saget's coming in which to me, I just thought, that story to me blew my mind and so I'm posting pictures on Instagram, but it's a story chronicling the whole thing. I'm a die hard Full House fan and I didn't know that so and I felt like most other people didn't either when I posted it. Another thing that I learned was I had always known they changed Jesse Cochrane to Jesse Catsopholis. Jesse Cochrane in the early seasons was Exterminator, and Jesse Cochrane ended up being a lot of things. He was always in the music world a bit, but he ended up being a lot of things. He was, you know, uh, he made commercials. He was a radio DJ for a while, he did, but they changed his actual name. Wasn't Jesse to begin with either, and before the show started with I think it was Adam Cochrane, and so then they go, well you let's go Jesse Cochrane. And then John Stamos was like, hey, like, I'm Greek, do he could we change this? And they said, okay, we'll change it to Jesse Cansopolis. So from Adam Cochrane to Jesse Cansopolis within one season. But I was mind blown by the guy that this posy guy, So now I'd love to talk to him. I don't know if we can ever get him on. We should try to track that. I bet you he's so annoyed with being asked about that unless not enough people know about it to ask. I mean, I think a lot of people wouldn't know, and I don't know if he gets I've never heard anything about him really me either, and I know a whole lot about the Arab television. That's all I did. I mean, I grew up with reading the encyclopedia and watching TV's so yeah that that to me was boom, a major mind blown. So I have some others too. But by the way, the full House, I got into the wormhole of full House. And because Candice Cameron turned forty two as we record this podcast today, she's best known as DJ Tanner from full House now Fuller House on Netflix. You know, Bob Saget did not play Danny Tanner, but look at that how on Instagram. Mr Bobby Bones, Mary Kate, Nashley Olson. Those babies they were hired because they did not cry at their audition. So these child labor laws, they limit the hours that a kid can work in a day, and twins had to play that part of Michelle because they couldn't have the same baby on all the time. So of the ten sets of twins who auditioned, Mary Kay Nashley were the only ones who behaved, and because they were behaving babies, they got the job. Candice Cameron's first kiss, who is DJ, was on the show. She was thirteen, and so she had to ask Lori La Flow, who played Aunt Becky. She'd like keep her eyes open or closed that, you know when with um me lord and Becky was so hot to me as a kid. She was the hottest thing on TV. Mary Kay Nashley Olsen appear on screen the other four times in the series. They didn't want the audience to know they were played by twins. Back of the time, there wasn't the Internet, so you couldn't google it, and they kept the name looking weird on the screen on purpose because I remember thinking too much like wrestling. I had heard it was fake that one name, but I was like, oh, that's Mary Kay Ashley Olsen because you couldn't look it up. Yeah, I thought, wow, that baby's got four names. That's crazy. I saw. They also they would put like fake teeth on him because they would start losing teeth. They have different and there that we would match up because I didn't know that. Fine man, what we could do a whole show on both House Kimmy Kimmy Gibbler or the neighbor was supposed to just be a one time appearance. Her name is Andrea Barber. She originally auditioned for the role of DJ, which she didn't get. Candice Camera did, who by the way, is Kurt Cameron's little sister and so from Growing Pains and so she didn't get the part, but producers liked her so much they asked her to come back and read for the neighbor role, which was supposed to be a one time appearance. So I thought that was interesting that article that was Erle Arkle on Family Matters slightly different, but Urkele was just to be a one time spot. People loved him so much. Erkele became the center of Family Matters. The whole show revolved around Urkele after about half of the first season, and they didn't like him for it, and they didn't like him and was Erkele's fault. Ercle just went and did a good job and the next thing, you know, the whole show is based around him because everbody thought he was so funny and like the name Erkele was I think a friend of the writer's real name. Yeah, they named it. Yeah and you got successful, was like, dude, I regret that. Yeah, all right, wow, all right, I feel like there's another full househol then I'm forgetting Dave Koyer r of the list here, Bob saga, Oh, I know it is Stephanie Tanner. Whenever they cast the whole group, they thought she was going to be the breakout star kid of the show because she was the most talented. Yeah, because she could sing, she could dance, she could she was the best actress of everyone, and of the uncles and the dad's uncle Jesse was coming from other shows, including a soap opera. So John Stamos was the big star and as it shifted, ended up being Danny Tanner. They put first in the credits because he was the dad. It was weird to put the uncle first, but that was the big get for them actor wise, was Jesse was uncle? You know, Uncle Jesse John Stamos. I remember seeing the old stuff with Dave Koyer. He was like on a Nickelodeon show. I didn't know that and he used that cut it out from that show and then he brought it over. It's kind of working, so he brought it over the full house man, how about that? Well read all that I want to talk about that. Let me talk about EQUIP for just one second, because Quip is awesome.

He was originally cast as Michael Scott instead of Steve Carrell, but the show that he'd been working on, Come to Papa, was canceled. So that have you seen the am I right about I'm right about that? Right? Have you seen the audition video on YouTube of Bob Boone Kirk. Yeah, That's where I first knew about it was that, And he's apparently because that you don't see a writer work, but he's apparently one of the funnier SNL writers over the last twenty five years or so. And where I what here and read about that is whenever The Rolling Stone did the best SNL people of all time when they had their think fifty anniversary, everyone was just talking about how funny Bob oden Kirk was. Oh, yeah, he did a bunch of the Chris Farley stuff. That was he wrote the Christmas Yeah, so he was really cast as Michael Scott. Yeah, but but what replaced when Steve carrell show was canceled. That's why they Yeah, yeah, he got got it. That's why that read funny to me. So Steve Kraill was on a different show and it was canceled that he went in, And I think bobonen Kirk would have been great. We sometimes we go, oh, the show just wouldn't have been the same. But how do we know if Bob and Kirk would have been you know, and Michael Scott would have thought, oh this, if they played Steve krel In, that had been crazy. Um. But yeah, so Bob owen Kirk was originally that. And if you watch the YouTube auditions of people trying out for the jobs, Seth Rogan was trying to be Dwight Shrewd and obviously Seth Rogan had his own humongous career Outside of that, Curb Your Enthusiasm is almost all improvised. Now I knew this, and Curb, by the way, is one one of the he probably know this, but let me tell you anyway. Curb is one half of the team that created Seinfeld. It was Jerry Seinfeld, and it was obviously um Larry David, Larry David, and Larry David played George Steinbrenner on Seinfeld. He did his characters from behind you was like, hey George Ties and Chicken Guy. That was all Larry David. But Curb Your Enthusiasm is almost all improvised. There's an outline of about seven or eight pages and the rest is improv The extras are real people. The show once helped solve a crime by proving a man's innocence and proving he was at a Dodger game after being accused of murder. There's, uh the Curb stuff. They shoot it over and over again and there so they are all these different versions of the cakes. That's interesting Seinfeld. Speaking of Seinfeld, there was a strict no hugging, no learning policy. Do you know you know this is about Yeah, Like they didn't want their characters to grow at all during the show. So like a lot of shows at that time, they were like, oh they like the more or lesson after when like Full House, yeah there's more, yeah, you take away something, and they didn't want the characters to grow, so they're all right, no, yeah, and sometimes they go backward and you're like, you know, I like them a little less after this show, but I'm gonna watch again next time. I was never a huge Seinfeld guy, though I watch it still, but it was never my favorite show. But I'll watch it. I mean, I like it now later than I did then. I think it would come on at the same time during the Simpsons, so maybe that's what it is. It was like the Full House and Frasier thing for me. I was not Full House home Improvement. Home Improvement or Frasier came on at the same time. I loved Home Improvement. That show to me was so far because it kind of represented where I came from. Even though it's about Detroit, it was still like I got like, I don't know, just it just felt I'm from the South so that's it just felt more like um for dumb people, and I felt like I was a dumb person, Like Frasier was a loll over my head when I was a kid, Like good morning Seattle, and we'll talk about fancy things and say big words. I felt like Tim Allen talked to me. Peter Dinklage from Game of Thrones, it's a very strict vegetarian, and every time you see him eating meat, he's actually eating tofu. I don't know that. Do you watch Game of Thrones? Are you caught up? I am? Do you read the spoilers, Well, they're not spoilers, but do you read the things that are leaking out on purpose about the last two seasons, about like how everybody yeah, like you know they're all talking about, Oh, you're gonna love how it ends. It must be phenomenal if they're touting it. They don't need to tout it, I know, because that's how the thing about them all crying during the last script read Yeah, and they mentioned that one and I stopped reading it. But they mentioned one of the characters like he's there in the final scene. Oh I didn't see that. Yeah, but I don't avoid it because they're putting that stuff out on purpose, so I don't feel like they'd spoil anything, and they don't need to hype it. They could say not a word about it and show up and they shoot like three different endings to everything anyway, So it's like the anody even knows. Save by the Bell star Mark Paul Gossler's hair wasn't naturally blond. He had died every two weeks during filming, which, by the way, there's a show called Nobody's on I think they changed the name of the channel. It's a paramount channel. Now do you say? Is it paramount channel of that channel? So there's there's a show called Nobody's about this group of comedy writers and Mark Paul Gossler is playing a side character, playing himself, and he has you know, jet black hair is normal hair. He's boff now and he's probably forty seven years old now at this point, but he's a monster. Having a tank top is like, hey man, Paul Goslar, he's jacked. There was no swearing aloud on the set of Say by the Bell. It was actually good morning, Miss Bliss as the show before it was Saved by the Bill, and then Miss Bliss got kicked off the show. It wasn't even about her. It went to all of a sudden, they're at based at high school and some of the kids from that first they're all gone, it's Zach and then Kelly Kapalski shows up. You know, Lark Vorees was there from the beginning. You know, some of them made the transition, but some of them didn't. From good morning, Miss Bliss to say by the Bill when they're in junior high at I'm just going from memory here. It was either like, it's that JFK. Or it was it was named after a president the junior high school. Google that yeah, Google, lets say by the Bell Junior High Is that your computer in mind? Right? Okay? It maybe JFK Jr. It's it's one of the presidents Friday Night Lights. The uniforms and some football footage was taken from the Flugerville Panthers right out of Austin. Real footage from Flugible High school football games were mixed with a tape footage to create the game action on Friday Night Lights. One Flugiga Bulle football player claimed the show was a huge distract and when he was interviewed during the first season and claimed a senior Pepper I had to be canceled because of the show's shooting schedule. And then finally, Jack was supposed to die in the first episode of Lost to show how people can never expect what's gonna happen. That's crazy. I didn't watch Lost. I love Lost, but that being said, in Game of Thrones is a huge death that you don't expect early that makes you go, oh, all bets are off. Speaking of Game of Thrones, what's name of the school that was a junior high right, and then it switched and all of a sudden they're in high school and then they're at Bay Side and Kelly shows up. Slater was always there, Jesse was always there, I believe, but yeah, they had other other kids there and it was originally in Indianapolis, California. Okay, well there's that. That's fun. This is early in the morning on Friday, so sorry that we couldn't get out of down. But I did like this episode. I hope you liked to hit me up. Hit Mike up. I'm Mr Bobby Bones on Twitter and Mike is at Mike Destro Mike de stro all all right, that's it everybody. Thank you enjoyed the day open to see you next week. We got some good stuff coming up.
