Of all the episodes ofFull Housethey ever filmed,Jodie SweetinandAndrea Barbersay that one particular episode was perhaps the most involved.

On the latest episode of theirHow Rude, Tanneritos!podcast viaiHeartRadio, Sweetin and Barber recapped season 3, episode 24 ofFull House, in which the family performs in a talent telethon for charity.

As the cast members recounted, the episode required that Barber ride a unicycle,Lori Loughlinwear a “revealing” dress — andCandace Cameron Burefelt “embarrassed.”

Sweetin, 42 — who played Stephanie Tanner — noted on the podcast that her character performed a dance to the song “Love Shack” on the episode.

“It’s pretty iconic,” Barber, 48, who played Kimmy Gibbler, said of Sweetin’s dance. “I mean, it is the thing that you see on in all the memes and all of you it’s everywhere.”

“It was really fun. I love this dance, and I had no idea that, that 30-some odd years later, I’d still be known for it,” Sweetin concurred.

Meanwhile, Cameron Bure — who played DJ Tanner on the show — sang the song “Lollipops and Gummy Bears” in the episode, as she pushed sister Michelle (Mary-KateandAshley Olsen) in a shopping cart.

“I remember Candace hated this,” Sweetin said.

“I can feel I can feel her embarrassment through the screen,” Barber added. “She did not want to sing this. It was so embarrassing. And it’s like, yeah, we were always being asked to do things that weren’t necessarily in our wheelhouse.”

To illustrate her point, Barber noted that her own character offered a unique skill for the telethon: a unicycle routine.

“Now this was a skill I actually had,” Barber said on the podcast. “Like, I didn’t even learn it for this episode.”

Sweetin then asked: “I think we’ve sort of lightly discussed it before, but, how did you come to actually learn to ride a unicycle? And was this something specifically asked for in this episode, or were you just riding your unicycle around the lot one day and they were like, ‘Hey, we should put that in the show?’ "

Barber responded that her mom thought unicycle riding “would be just a fun summer activity. And there were classes available at the local park down the street from our house.”

The “tiny and sparkly red outfit,” noted Barber, “looks incredible.”

“She looks like she’s about to be inThe Greatest Showman,” Sweetin added.

“She does. I wonder how Lori felt about wearing this outfit — a little more revealing than normal,” Barber said. “And yeah. I know it was sometimes it’s hard to be so far out of your comfort zone.”
