Jodie Sweetin never wants to leave her star-studded group chat.
The Full House alum, who played Stephanie Tanner, exclusively told PEOPLE that the cast of the show and its reboot Fuller House are in a group chat.
Before a live taping of her Full House rewatch podcast — How Rude, Tanneritos! — on June 5, Sweetin explained that Dave Coulier knows how to liven up the chatter, especially with his most recent AI-infused message.
“It was horrifying,” says the actress and podcaster, 43. Coulier, who played Joey Gladstone, had shared an AI-generated photo of the cast as “goths.”
“Like, aged down goths. And for some reason, there was a Kourtney Kardashian lookalike in there who was supposed to be Becky [Katsopolis],” she adds of the character played by Lori Loughlin. “But me and the Olsen twins were the same age, except for Mary-Kate, who actually looked like she does today.”

Bob Saget, the beloved late actor who played fun-loving patriarch Danny Tanner, was depicted as Geddy Lee, the lead singer of Rush.
“It was just a very, very strange thing. Dave made a joke. I didn’t get it,” Sweetin continues, before saying she eventually understood. “I was like, ‘Oh, sorry actually, the joke was great.’ ”
Sweetin’s sneak peek into the group chat came as she and former Full House costar Andrea Barber, 48, were hosting their live episode on Thursday, reuniting with John Stamos, 61, and Loughlin, 60, as part of their rewatch. The latter pair took a look back on the love story between their characters — Uncle Jesse and Becky Donaldson Katsopolis — and their season 4 wedding.
The How Rude, Tanneritos! podcast, which premiered in July as commentary on the beloved ABC series, also allows the two hosts to reminisce.
“Oh my gosh, we have been screaming, literally, I walked out screaming and saying, ‘Jodie,’ ” says Barber, who played Kimmy Gibbler. “I walked into her dressing room, and she was jumping up and down. And, you know, we do the podcast. When we do it, normally, we’re each at our houses, and we do it over Zoom.”
Barber said the live events are something she usually feels “really nervous and apprehensive” about, but she didn’t experience either of those feelings when chatting with Stamos and Loughlin because she was “just stoked to be here.”
