Bob Sagetwill always hold a special place in the hearts of hisFull Housecastmates.
In the nearly two decades since the ABC sitcom wrapped after eight seasons in 1995, the star-studded bunch has remained in close contact. And while this hasn’t changed followingSaget’s death in January 2022, his former costarsAndrea BarberandJodie Sweetintell PEOPLE they still regard him has the “heart” of their interactions.
In thinking about which of the show’s stars gives the best advice and are the best at texting, Sweetin — who spoke to PEOPLE in a joint interview with Barber occurring on July 12, prior tothe SAG strike— said: “All I can think of the answer to so many of those things was Bob.”
“Yeah, Bob was the main [person] in our group chat, our group text that we have,” Barber, 47, chimed in. “He was the heart of all of our group chats.”
Sweetin, 41, then lovingly recalled how she and Saget would often take the conversation “very sideways.
“And then me and him would still be going and it would be like, ‘I guess no one else is going to keep going with the joke.’ AndDave [Coulier]too.” she continued. “I think we’re all pretty good at [keeping up with each other]. Considering how crazy busy all of us are in our various families and travels and works and all of this, we talk relatively frequently in some form of group chat or another.”

That enduring closeness is something Barber and Sweetin will bring to their newHow Rude, Tanneritos!podcast viaiHeartRadio, which launched Tuesday. Barber is especially “eager to see” how their friendship deepens as they look back on the series and their time growing up on set.
“Jodie and I have always been close, andFuller Housejust brought us even closer, and so I’m expecting that this podcast will do the same.

Sweetin also noted that the pair are “dissecting” the many layers tied to their experience together.
“I know that there will be some really interesting insights and thoughts that come up with watching just how little I was and what we were doing at such a young age,” she added. “It’s pretty crazy.”
