WEBVTT - Some time with… John Stamos (Part 1) 0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:21.239 We are so excited about today's guest, our first castmate 0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:24.479 to join us on the pod. He first captured the 0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:28.120 hearts of women everywhere as Blackie on General Hospital, before 0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:31.600 committing to the role that would propel him to superstardom 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:34.800 and follow him for the rest of his life Uncle 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:39.120 Jesse on Full House. To Jody and me, he's just John, 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:43.080 or Mud, as we affectionately call him. His new memoir, 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:46.080 If You Would Have Told Me, is an incredibly poignant 0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:49.920 and heartfelt look inside John's life and legacy. I cried 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:53.720 more times than I can count without further ado. The 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.920 man with the megawat smile and the best head of 0:00:56.920 --> 0:01:01.760 hair in Hollywood. We love and adore him.

You remember, I know you 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:57.280 guys read the book, and I appreciate that. And I 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:00.360 went back to Andrew's book and listen into it. I 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.080 told you, Andrew a couple of weeks ago, and I 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.279 guess one that came out you sent me one. I 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:07.880 kind of grazed it and I looked in. But listening 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:09.800 to it this time, I was really I really felt 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:11.720 for you. It was really beautiful writing, and you were 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:15.760 very you know, forthcoming with issues that I didn't even 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.520 know you had, and you know, we sort of all 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:21.560 lost touch for a few crazy years there. But it 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.520 was really beautiful. And and Jody, I know you've written 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.320 about eighteen books, and. 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.320 No I haven't. I've only written just the one, just 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:29.640 the one. 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:34.320 But it was did you narrate it or Britney Spears 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:35.680 who did the audio of it? 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.599 I actually never did an audiobook of it, I don't 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.040 think because if this was like it came out in nine, 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:43.920 I mean it was, it came out a long time ago, 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:45.560 so it was kind of in the era of like 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.320 I don't know that we were doing like as many 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:49.560 of the audible books and stuff. 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.159 But I found that really the hardest part. 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:55.040 Did you, Andrew, what was the hardest part for you. 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:58.400 Doing the audio? Well? Doing the audio really, I mean. 0:05:58.320 --> 0:05:59.920 It was I was saying what part of the book 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.279 was the hardest for you? To write? 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:04.719 All of it, I'll tell you that about that, But 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.400 the audio I thought was going to be so like 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:08.920 I was really looking forward to it because I listened 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.880 to audio books all the time, and it was hard. 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:13.880 It took me, Like, I said, how long would it take? 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:15.680 And they said, well, you'll have five or six days. 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:18.000 I took like thirty two days or something, because you're 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.160 cold reading your life, you know, for the first time, 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.919 right right, yeah, And I did this and I you know, 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:23.800 I rewrote. 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:24.760 And then you're like, did I I don't want to 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:28.280 I take all this back? Never mind, just kidding, Right, 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:30.480 how did you get me and YouTube? 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.880 Jody? Like, wasn't it? It's so I started out to 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:35.839 write like a hero book, like I did this, and 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.159 I did that, you know, and then it automatically, you know, 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:42.120 very soon became a human story and I had to 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:46.839 really dig deep to when I started to tell the 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.680 absolute truth about stuff, and I stumble upon this line 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:54.680 without anything less than the truth is paralysis, and so 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:56.560 I was like, oh crap, now I got to go 0:06:56.640 --> 0:07:00.320 by that and it was just uh, cathartic, yes, but 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.520 it was it was hard, right, I mean, what did 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:04.080 you guys feel when you had to write all that? 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:06.719 I mean, I'll never forget going. 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:08.640 Like after I'd written the book and then going and 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:10.160 starting my press tour and I was. 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:11.200 Doing the Today Show. 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.800 Uh, and I had this moment and my first interview 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:16.360 was the Today Show. I think it was Matt Lower. 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.520 That tells you how long that that was, but it was. 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.560 He's a beacon of you know, good solid. 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:27.680 Well yeah, but uh, it was I remember thinking the 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:31.480 night before I was like, what have I done that? 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:35.600 I oh, no, you know what I mean? 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:37.239 And then it was But then there was a sense 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.160 also a sense of freedom once you kind of step 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.600 off that ledge and just tell the truth and tell 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:44.400 your story and tell all of your you know, faults 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:46.360 and everything that you think is so scary, and you 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:49.960 find that people respond to it really wonderfully and positively 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:53.240 and supportively, and then you're like, oh, oh, actually, like 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.160 that was terrifying at first, but it was very freeing 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.400 and very yeah, like you said, cathartic. 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:01.760 It was like therapy for me to write some of 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.840 these innermost feelings that I hadn't really unpacked ever in 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.640 my life. That's what I was forced to by writing 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:11.600 these deep chapters where you're writing about your difficult times, 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:13.000 the times when you've struggled. 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.160 I mean, these are really personal moments, and so that's. 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:20.000 It's cathartic, it's therapeutic and like Jody said, terrifying, you know, 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.720 the night before it's released into the public. 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:24.680 And then you but then then it goes from that 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:28.680 to terrifying to like everybody's known your business and they're saying, oh, 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:31.480 my god, you're so brave and brave, and then it 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:33.440 goes to my god, you helped me. I had the 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:36.160 same issue I haven't you know. And there's a couple 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.800 of things that I a lot of. They asked me 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:41.240 to write a book a couple of times over the years. 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:43.120 I was like, no, no, no, no, I don't I 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.439 can't write how. I didn't even know. I couldn't even know, 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:46.960 like where do I where am I even start? I 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:49.480 know nothing about writing a book. I could rewrite stuff. 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:50.280 You you guys have been. 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:54.120 There for that, but many many scenes, I can't. 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:57.560 I never wrote anything, so I kept saying no, and 0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:59.880 then I thought, oh, the only thing anyone wants to 0:08:59.880 --> 0:09:02.000 hear is you know who I slept with, and I'm 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:03.679 not going to talk about that, which is only about 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:09.960 four people. And sure, And so then I became a 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.079 dad and I sobered up. And then Bob died and 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.040 they read the obituary thing that I did in the 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:18.480 La Times said you're a good writer. I'm like, I 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:19.640 don't even remember writing that. 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:22.640 And then I said, well, it's usually the best writing 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:24.080 is when you go back and you read it and. 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:28.160 You're like, I don't I wrote that. Yeah, Wow, that's weird. 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:32.480 Yeah. And then I thought, right, yeah. And then I thought, 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:34.960 I have all these letters from my mom, and I 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:36.800 know you guys do too, and you probably seen my 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.439 mom's notes and stuff. So I thought, okay, that makes sense. 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:40.880 I called my sisters. I got all of them, I 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:42.480 sort of line them up.

That was an actual little painting that somebody did. 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.120 So he's just always he's just always up here. So 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.000 I make sure and make inappropriate jokes just so. 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:42.920 That he what do you think people want to know? 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:44.840 I mean, this is so cool that we're all talking together. 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.120 We as you guys have probably talked about and people 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:49.600 are listening, know that we've we've stayed very close over 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.319 the years. Although now Bob was was the guy who 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:53.199 kept us all together. 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.240 So yeah, yeah, he was the patriarch. Yeah. 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:59.520 Yeah, and he was a nag too. He would call. 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:03.000 You, well, you couldn't tell him no because you knew 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:04.720 he wasn't going to give it up and you weren't. 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.280 That wasn't the end of it, you know what I mean, Like, no, 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:09.720 I gotta be like you'd hear the guilt and the 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:11.319 thing and you know. 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.400 The two hardest chapters. Oh go ahead, I'm sorry. 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:17.079 Andrea, Well, I might be talking about what you're about 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.520 to talk about, which is the last chapter of your book, 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:23.920 which details the day that you found out Bob passed 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:26.920 and then the immediate aftermath the weeks following that. And 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:28.880 I had never I know, I've never talked to you 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:32.840 guys about that day and how we found out when 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:35.000 Bob passed. And so that was really cathartic for me 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:38.600 just to read those emotions and revisit those feelings. 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:42.000 Learnt, Like what what I didn't know how you found out? 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:44.920 How you were driving Billy around he was napping and 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.160 then you pulled over and like just fell to your 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:48.800 knees in the parking lot. 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:50.720 I got a call a few weeks before from my 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.120 publicist on the weekend, and he was like he called 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.720 and Caitlyn answered, he couldn't get me. I was asleep, 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:58.520 and Kitlyn answered, he called Kaitlyn and she said, and 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:00.760 he said it's John okay, And I was like, yeah, 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:02.160 why he's sleepy? You want me to wake him up? 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.160 And he's like, no, no, no, no. Uh. I just 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:07.280 got a call from TMZ and they said, sources said 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:10.840 that John went down in a plane crash near San Diego, 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:14.600 private plane. And clearly their sources were wrong, because. 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:15.120 You know, oh yeah. 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:18.840 Two weeks later, Matt gets the same call about something 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.800 about Bob. So he calls, calls me and I and 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:23.760 I pulled over because yeah, Billy was I was driving 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:25.160 him around to fall asleep in the back, and I 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:27.959 pulled over in the commons over here. I talked to 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:29.679 him and said, is Bobo Camick? What do you mean 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.400 it is Boboka? I don't know. So well, have you 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:33.960 talked to him today? I said, no, he's on the road. 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:37.160 I'm sure he's fine. He played some show last night. Okay, Well, 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:38.320 just why Matt? Why? 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:38.920 Well? 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:41.160 I got a call sources say, I go, so your 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:43.319 sources can kiss my ass, because last week they had 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:47.320 me dying him. Two weeks ago, I said, he said, okay, okay. 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:50.000 So I called Bob, didn't answer, texted him a couple 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:52.480 of times, didn't answer. Called Kelly, didn't answer. Then I 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:56.240 get a text from Candice saying that she got a 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:59.040 DM from somebody in Florida saying, Hey, I'm sorry to 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.680 have to tell you this, but that Bob died and 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.400 my sister's a cop on the scene. And Candas was like, 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.080 you better not be kidding. She I'll send you the 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:10.160 police report. So I'm reading this thinking, oh no, this 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:13.400 is too many, you know, Matt and YZ. So then 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:15.240 I called Candace and she explained it to me. As 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:18.800 I'm talking to Candace, Kelly calls me and she's just 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:22.200 wailing and I just hit the asphalt with my knees. 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:27.000 I'm like, no, no, yeah. 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:27.440 Yeah, they're the same thing. 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:31.680 Yeah, what a gut punch. 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:33.400 At this beginning of this episode is just like the 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:38.280 colonoscopy and and mammogram, uh start from. 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:42.720 That's the one. I think, Yes, hey, we talk about 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:43.680 everything on this show. 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:44.240 Nothing. 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:48.560 It's HRC, which is also hormone replacement therapy. That's the 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:52.560 acronym of the podcast. That's our target audience, that's our 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:53.240 target audience. 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:55.840 So that was the I thought that was gonna be 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:57.600 the hardest chapter of the Bob And then the first 0:14:57.680 --> 0:14:59.880 chapter when I got a dui and it was this horrific, 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.160 you know, my lowest point in life, and I was 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:04.000 going to meet Bob at the poem. I thought those 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:11.040 two the two hardest were the Full House chapters. Really, yeah, because. 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:14.040 Was it hard to remember or hard to talk about 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.000 those times? Or why was it difficult? 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.760 Because I know how important the show was to so 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.960 many people. I didn't know why. And Jeff was over 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.320 here a couple of weeks ago and he said, he said, 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:26.480 when did you come He's writing a book to Jeff Franklin. 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:28.360 He said, when did you come to terms with the Full House? 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:30.640 I said, when I wrote this, when I actually sat 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:36.000 down pended paper computer, because I've always you know, my 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.640 feeling of it. It was double edged sword and you 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:40.200 guys probably had some of it. 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.520 Yeah, very very similar where you're like, I love this 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:44.520 and it gave me sort of the career that I had, 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:47.000 but also at the same time, like I can do 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:51.080 other things too, you know, but it's such a special 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:52.040 place in people's heart. 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:54.480 Yes, so I wanted to do it justice, and so 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:56.920 I didn't I get it was the last two chapters 0:15:56.960 --> 0:16:00.800 I wrote. I just kept writing, Bob. And you know, 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:02.480 it's eight years too, as you guys know, and there's 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:04.240 a lot of people, a lot of things involved. So 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:08.200 I started off with the reading of the pilot and 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:10.320 it was at the it was at the Century Plaza Hotel, 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:13.680 and I talked about I was, you know, I was 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:16.360 on General Hospital and worked and I was the big 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:19.200 star of the thing. And and you know when when 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:20.880 it was pitched to me, Look, I always wanted to 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:22.560 be on a Gary Marshall type show. You and Gary 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:24.800 actually helped me get the get the job. And he 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:31.080 also told me get a catchphrase. Everybody. Yeah, yeah, you 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:36.120 guys know it's the name of your podcasts. Thanks and 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:38.840 and and Billy. Now he's he's he's asking me about 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:41.840 catch phrase. He wanted to know everyone's catchphrase and what 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:44.000 did DJ have one? He said, oh, my lant. He goes, 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:47.000 what's that? But he his deal is he just puts 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:51.480 baby at the end of it. I'm going to the bathroom, baby, 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:53.880 So picking my nose, baby. 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:57.440 The apple doesn't fall f Yeah, it's weird. 0:16:57.480 --> 0:16:59.600 I wonder where he gets that his humor is closer 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:04.600 to Bob's then to mine. Wow, sehrty and funny. So uh, 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:06.639 I thought I was going to be on this show. 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:09.000 So they told me because it was Millan Braad show, 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:10.480 Oh this is going to be like Buzz and Buddies, 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:12.760 but there's three of you and no cross dressing until 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:15.320 maybe season two or three.

That sounds fun of comic a musician, right, 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.399 And then they were doing a lot of work on 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:26.080 the casting of the of you girls, and I was like, well, 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:27.800 just putting a lot of effort into the kids that 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:29.199 are going to be in the background. But you know, 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.200 so I walk into the reading like the like, I 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:34.000 think I'm the big shot, you know, and your your 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:35.840 moms knew me from General Hospital. 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:38.199 Oh yeah, yeah it's Blacky.
