BREAKING NEWS: Dave Coulier Slept on Bob Saget’s Couch Before They Were Cast on Full House — Loved His Dad’s ‘Raunchy’ Jokes .giang

Dave Coulier continues to keep the late Bob Saget‘s legacy alive with his sweet stories about their friendship.

On the Dec. 20 episode of his rewatch podcast, Full House Rewind, Coulier, 65, and co-host Marla Sokoloff recapped the season 2 episode, “Pal Joey.”

“I have so many little memories from this episode,” Coulier shared. “I don’t know why this episode sticks out so much to me, but I think it’s probably due to the fact that I was, you know, such lifelong friends with Bob. It was just such a heartwarming episode for me to rewatch … it’s truly one of my favorite Full House episodes.”

As he’s shared before, he met Saget when he was an 18-year-old rising stand-up comic.

“Bob was here in Detroit doing a Comedy Store tour, and I was doing new talent night,” Coulier told Sokoloff, 44. “Bob walked in with two other comics, and they blew the room away.”

Saget went up with his guitar, Coulier recalled, “and I was like, you gotta be kidding me. This guy is like, the funniest guy ever. Bob was so good. He was so polished. He was so funny, so quick witted.”

After the show, Coulier approached him, sharing that he wanted to get into show business.

“And he said, ‘Well, here, I’ll write down my number.’ And he wrote his number down on a napkin,” Coulier said. “And I still have the napkin in a scrapbook.”

Coulier called him when he eventually moved to Los Angeles, “and we just became best buddies,” he said.

The actor slept on Saget’s couch for a time, and said that as a Catholic kid from Michigan, living with Saget and his family gave him his first introduction to Judaism.

“It’s where I first heard Yiddish,” he said. “Bob would always do these little Yiddish asides, and I’d be like, ‘Say that again? What does that mean?’ “

Coulier went to “every seder, every bat mitzvah, every bar mitzvah,” he recalled. “I would go to synagogue, and I’d I loved wearing a yarmulke, you know, because I fit in with everybody.”

Saget’s parents, he said, “couldn’t have been kinder. They were like my surrogate parents. They were so lovely, so loving.”

His dad, Ben, would call Coulier “son,” he said, adding that like Bob, he was “really raunchy and funny.”

“He’d go, ‘Son, how are you? Is everything good down there?’ ” Coulier said, noting “you know what” he was talking about. “Like ‘Everything’s good down there, Ben!’ ” The elder Saget would reply ” ‘Good,’ ” he said, ” ‘Because you know what? Of all the problems you can have in life, David, you don’t want one down there.’ “

As Sokoloff cracked up, Coulier said, “And then you’d hear Dolly, Bob’s mom, in the background, ‘Ben, would you stop corrupting the boys?! Stop it with your talk.’ And Bob would just go, ‘Welcome to my life.’ “

It was no “wonder why Bob turned out the way he did with those parents,” Sokoloff noted.

“Yep,” answered Coulier. “It was wonderful, wonderful times.”
