I just heard about, and maybe everyone knew this,
I didn't know this, but I heard about,
it could have been an episode on Full House.
I know, right?
It was, it was.
Janet Jackson shootout.
It was.
You survived.
Janet Jackson shootout.
He saved me.
It was, yeah, sitting outside of Ed DeBevick's on La Cienega,
you know, in the early 90s.
It was wild.
It was wild.
We were sitting in a limo.
And it was just a target.
Did Bob have that fatherly instinct?
Yeah, well, I mean, Bob, they were still inside.
It was only, like, me and Candace's sister
and somebody else in the car.
It was just, like, a couple of us young people.
And we got out of the car and ran back inside,
and we're like, the car just...
You ducked at the right time, apparently.
Apparently.
So my question is this, like, that's an incredible story.
I'm glad you survived.
I mean, me too.
But what was Bob like inside of a Janet concert?
Was he good at knowing all the words?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, we, it was, we, Bob loved music, so, like,
that was something that we always did, was concerts, and music,
and new albums, and all this stuff, so, yeah, he, he knew that,
like, me, and Candace, and Lori, and everybody, like,
we were super into Janet Jackson, and he was able to get us tickets
at the Forum, so it was like, yeah, let's all go as a family.
And it was finally, it was finally one of the times
that my mom let me go by myself because I was older because I think it
was like between seven and eight or right after eight.
So, you know, she was like, okay, fine, you're old enough to go.
And then that happened.
So, so did you, how long was it before you got
to go out with Bob again?
Oh, I mean, I, I didn't go out with Bob all
that often after we were working too much.
But my mom was always like, Bob, like, yeah,
my mom just always knew, like, what's going to happen now?
but he did take care of me
she trusted him but it just always seemed like
s*** happened and he was there
but it was also the 90s and s*** always happened
anyways
good thing we came out of that
good thing there's nothing happening these days
you just did the 90s
it was like a con
90s con
sorry my bag's here I just want to make sure I don't miss it
in your opinion
you gotta put yourself aside
we asked Jaleel White this
who is the Mount Rushmore of 90s characters
Oh, Mount Rushmore of 90s characters?
I feel like Seinfeld.
I feel like...
Thank you.
Yeah, yeah.
I'd say Seinfeld.
I'd say...
I mean, you've got to say Uncle Jesse or Michelle.
You've got to include one.
Somebody gets on there from Full House.
I'm not going to say which because of that.
Yeah.
Who else?
I'd say Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Oh, yeah.
And I would say...
Oh, God, what else?
90s, 90s, 90s.
Yeah, but those shows were 90s.
I mean, Friends, Urkel, you know.
That's what I'm saying.
All of a sudden, I can't think of a damn show.
I think, you know what, let's go.
I mean, you have to put Urkel in there.
I think so.
You have to put Urkel.
So, yeah.
So, there's three.
There's three and four.
Let's put.
Andrea wants to.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Where'd you.
I thought you were behind me.
Can you put Kimmy Gibbler on there?
I thought I could.
Oh.
Oh.
Okay
Kimmy Gibbler
I love that
I love
you
Kimmy Gibbler's
On the Mount Rushmore
She
Kimmy
Yes
Kimmy Gibbler is on the Mount Rushmore
And I'm very glad
That she was paying attention
Because I lost my bag
Because I was paying attention
To you guys
Alright let me
Let me ask you one more question
Okay last
Last one
Last one
look you you you grew up in a time where you made
a lot of money as a youngster right we are now
seeing we saw the death of RD Mitty right from Breaking Bad
and he was openly he talked about how
he was how he was just scammed out of a lot
of his money like he just he didn't know any better
you know he hired bad people to manage
his money does hollywood need to do better i mean they do
but also like like do they do a good enough job protecting young people
they don't do a good enough job
in this country teaching young people how to manage
any kind of money okay pay your taxes how
to balance your checkbook I'm
like that kind of stuff I just don't think anybody knows
and then you have a bunch of
money when you're 18 or anybody dumb I did it all myself
but should the unions get involved
like more actively you know they
do as good a job as they can do
I mean, there's laws, there's Coogan laws, there's all this stuff,
but once you turn 18, that's the terrifying part, right?
But you want to teach them before they turn 18,
so when they do turn 18...
I think we should teach all young people before they graduate how
to do the basic economic s*** of paying your taxes,
how to pay your utilities, like, life stuff.
Whether you have a bunch of money or, like,
or just work in a part-time job, you gotta know how to manage it.
Jodi, thanks. Appreciate it. Thanks.
