Speaker 1: excited to have you on. We were talking earlier about
Speaker 1: you're spelling of Janice. Why a N N I s
Speaker 1: in the difference with the Greek freak Janna Santa to Kumpo?
Speaker 1: Why is that spelled different? First of all, for googling purposes,
Speaker 1: I'm glad we did spell it differently, because if we
Speaker 1: spelt it the same way, all my Google search results
Speaker 1: would have been usurped by him. He's the most googled.
Speaker 1: I think I might have been the most googled honest
Speaker 1: before him, and then he came in and yeah, he
Speaker 1: took over. So thankfully. My name's y A n n
Speaker 1: I S. He's g I. You can spell it three ways,
Speaker 1: why I A n n I S y A n
Speaker 1: n I S or you can spelt like he does
Speaker 1: g I A. So there's three ways. The Greeks don't
Speaker 1: have reasons for the way, you know, we just just
Speaker 1: like to make things complicated for the sake of the complicated. Well,
Speaker 1: it's awesome to have you on. And we were talking
Speaker 1: about Jannese before. Obviously the Bucks are in a really
Speaker 1: good series with the Atlanta Hawks. You've been watching. Who
Speaker 1: have you been cheering for? I've been cheering, of course,
Speaker 1: I've been sharing for the books. Okay, he's a Greek
Speaker 1: hero right now, he's like, oh he believes Yeah, any
Speaker 1: game he plays and you will see like a contingent
Speaker 1: of Greeks in the stands with flags. They're chanting like
Speaker 1: Greek national songs. They love him. I love him and
Speaker 1: the Greeks. We have to support each other. There's only
Speaker 1: like a million of us in America, and we stick together.

Speaker 1: to go ahead and cut that clip because I can
Speaker 1: retire on that, Thank you very much. I was going
Speaker 1: to say, for the first time ever, I think I
Speaker 1: have the third best hair in this show. That hasn't
Speaker 1: not happened. Yeah, No, Greeks, we have good genes. That's
Speaker 1: the thing. We put olive oil on everything. That's the secret.
Speaker 1: That's the secret. I bathed in the Greek yogurt and
Speaker 1: I drink Rob Low's blood, So that's been helpful. Keeps
Speaker 1: you young. That keeps you young. From what I understand,
Speaker 1: I can't wait to do this podcast with you. And
Speaker 1: I know it's a sports show, and maybe you know
Speaker 1: that I know very, very rarely little about sports. My
Speaker 1: one of my best friends, Roger Lodge, is a huge
Speaker 1: fan of your dad's. I think he's been on the
Speaker 1: show and he just went on and on about your
Speaker 1: dad and your grandfather's a favoue sports guy, right, and
Speaker 1: he said, you were very nice person. He's I think
Speaker 1: he watched one of your things. But I'm very happy
Speaker 1: to be on here. And I joke with Johnny's he
Speaker 1: is one of the most I'm not this no bullshit here.
Speaker 1: I just got I've sort of discovered him about six
Speaker 1: months ago. Maybe I don't know why he missed my radar,
Speaker 1: but I watched this guy. Go Who is this guy?
Speaker 1: He's the funniest guy I've ever He's like a Greek
Speaker 1: Robin Williams. And I mean that the sense that he's
Speaker 1: harrier than Robin, not funnier. But I just love him.
Speaker 1: I we become friends and we're you know, we have
Speaker 1: a Greek thing, and I'm grateful that I get to
Speaker 1: be on his first episode. But hopefully you'll do most
Speaker 1: of the talking. Olivia, Well, I knew you weren't much
Speaker 1: of a sports guy when before we started taping. I
Speaker 1: said I had interviewed the Greek freak and that was
Speaker 1: easier than getting us all on this zoom And you said,
Speaker 1: who's the Greek freak? Tell me you know who that is.
Speaker 1: I'm not making jokes. I honestly don't. Is um uh,
Speaker 1: who is it is? The guy from Hangover, the heavy
Speaker 1: set guy. No, it's Bob Costas. Oh yeah, well, I
Speaker 1: for his off air on I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1: He's he's he's probably the best basketball player in the
Speaker 1: world right now, m v P of the last year,
Speaker 1: last year, and right is that your husband his name
Speaker 1: is Janics at Takumpo Milwaukee buck. Oh, and you're not
Speaker 1: married to him. No, but your husband is a basketball player.
Speaker 1: He is, yes, and he's in the other room and
Speaker 1: he's very jealous right now. Yeah, he's set up a
Speaker 1: baby monitor just to watch her much. Yeah. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: serious question for you, John. I was curious, with all
Speaker 1: you've accomplished in four decades in the industry, do you
Speaker 1: get sick of like the heartthrob title? Because I tell
Speaker 1: you what, just telling my girlfriends and even women in
Speaker 1: their sixties that you were coming on the show today,
Speaker 1: they become googly eyed teenagers. Not one bit. My whole life,
Speaker 1: I remember, I mean, up until the campaign, I was like,
Speaker 1: I want to be famous. I didn't. I wanted to
Speaker 1: be famous for all the wrong reasons. I wanted to
Speaker 1: get girls, I wanted to sign autographs. I wanted you know. Later,
Speaker 1: I I you know, developed a love for the for
Speaker 1: the art, but I wanted to be famous. And everybody, Oh,
Speaker 1: don't you hate being famous? Nope, you know it's as
Speaker 1: good as everyone thinks if you handle it right. If
Speaker 1: you keep your head on unlike you know, the other
Speaker 1: Greek on this thing, but if you keep a level
Speaker 1: headed you know, thinking about my father was great, and
Speaker 1: and jannest and I always talk about our dads who
Speaker 1: were both passed away. And they're having an affair at Heaven.
Speaker 1: I heard, and they're in the Greek town in Heaven.
Speaker 1: There's a there's a Greek down for them. Yeah. My
Speaker 1: dad kept me humble, you know. He really A friend
Speaker 1: of mine recently said it was so funny. He said,
Speaker 1: you know, I was talking to your dad wants and
Speaker 1: I said, to your guy, said, man, now Johnny's famous,
Speaker 1: he could get any girl he wants. And my dad said, well,
Speaker 1: not any girl. Always it was always that. It was
Speaker 1: always just that, you know, I'd come home from doing
Speaker 1: a car show or doing something, you know, where I
Speaker 1: had thousands of people screaming, and he said, and I
Speaker 1: lived at home and tell he was about He said, Hey,
Speaker 1: how'd it go? Great? Go clean the dog poop in
Speaker 1: the backyard. And I haven't had my whole career, but
Speaker 1: I think trying to keep a level of humilities has
Speaker 1: been good about it is the best part about it.
Speaker 1: Or you said, what's the good thing about fan that's
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good. But you gotta keep it,
Speaker 1: you know, cool, cut me off any time? You honest,
Speaker 1: You're no, Yeah, I was no. I was letting you go.
Speaker 1: I was letting you go. I was letting you guy.
Speaker 1: I thought you were about to start a Shakespeare monologue
Speaker 1: and I wanted to hear it. Right. Have you guys
Speaker 1: watched the show, Olivia? Idea? Have you seen any other
Speaker 1: of the show. That's what I was about to say
Speaker 1: to Olivia. Funny story, So John, he told he sent
Speaker 1: me the link for the show and the only reason
Speaker 1: I watched it at the beginning of because it was
Speaker 1: a free Disney Plus password. So I was like, cool,
Speaker 1: I get Disney Plus for free. But I lie to
Speaker 1: you not. I watched the show and I got I
Speaker 1: got hooked on it. I got hooked on it, and
Speaker 1: I'm almost done. I'm not done yet. I've watched about
Speaker 1: six episodes. Your daughter has moved in with you. John
Speaker 1: plays Marvin Corne, who's sort of like a Bobby Night
Speaker 1: type who comes in as a disgrace Division one basketball coach.
Speaker 1: Because and if I got if I remember the scene correctly,
Speaker 1: which I was surprised by you threw a chair and
Speaker 1: hit hit the person in the face with the chair,
Speaker 1: which is very not Disney. So I was surprised. I
Speaker 1: hit him in the back, I think. But but that
Speaker 1: got me kicked out of the n C Double A
Speaker 1: and I I go to the only job I could get,
Speaker 1: really is too is coaching an all girls private high
Speaker 1: school and Laguna, which is a bougie neighborhood over here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so he plays his coach very Bobby Night, like very stubborn,
Speaker 1: you know, hard nosed, and he comes in and he
Speaker 1: teaches these girls how to win. The most surprising thing
Speaker 1: about it is how much I believe that you knew
Speaker 1: something about basketball. And then I talked to you and yeah,
Speaker 1: you told me how many field goals does it take
Speaker 1: to win a basketball game? Well, I thought I was
Speaker 1: talking to my wife. Did you have you seen Have
Speaker 1: you got a chance to see it? I have not,
Speaker 1: but it is on deck on my Disney. Plus, we're
Speaker 1: getting new TVs and I tell you what, getting all
Speaker 1: the apps downloaded, and you saw just how we were
Speaker 1: trying to get on Zoom. That's the hardest part. And
Speaker 1: you know what I like Disney strategy. You put John
Speaker 1: Staymos in a bass football movie. What better way to
Speaker 1: attract more female fans to basketball than throwing stay Mos
Speaker 1: into a basketball drama? Right? You know, we shot we
Speaker 1: did the pilot for this almost two years ago, and
Speaker 1: you know, little did we know that, you know, when
Speaker 1: it was going to be released that women's basketball would
Speaker 1: be in the headlines about inequality, which was terrible, and
Speaker 1: you know, you know, men versus women and pay and
Speaker 1: also the pandemic. I mean, who knew that, you know,
Speaker 1: people would need an optimistic, positive show like this at all.
Speaker 1: Finding was good. It's turned out to be a really
Speaker 1: special show. And I didn't I just said it seems
Speaker 1: like a good gig. And I love David Kelly. When
Speaker 1: they called me, they said, um so, I said, hey,
Speaker 1: you're're gonna get an offer on the new David Kelly Show.
Speaker 1: I said, oh my god, David Kelly, you know, is
Speaker 1: it the new You know he was doing big little
Speaker 1: lies at the time. Okay, I knew any of that name. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a very very prolific, maybe one of the greatest
Speaker 1: genius writers. I mean he was big in the old
Speaker 1: days with Ally mcbield and Practice and all those shows.
Speaker 1: But he lately has done big little lies. What's the
Speaker 1: long with Hugh Grant? Who you Grant? There was just
Speaker 1: on oh the undoing, Yes, that's dark. Thank you for
Speaker 1: saving me on that. I don't know one Hugh Grant movie.
Speaker 1: So I was like, yes, I'm in, i'man what's it about?
Speaker 1: And they said basketball was Oh. No, those of you
Speaker 1: out there that don't know me. God has been very
Speaker 1: gave me a lot of really nice attributes and gifts.
Speaker 1: Athleticism was not one of them. I was a band
Speaker 1: geek in school. I'm a band geek now. My dad
Speaker 1: was into sports. I didn't understand it, so it was
Speaker 1: a big challenge and I make jokes about it, but
Speaker 1: I really did work hard to kind of because out
Speaker 1: of respect. First of all, if I in the very
Speaker 1: first scene, if you watch, I'm coaching a college team
Speaker 1: and that's when I throw the chair, as Johnny said.
Speaker 1: But if I didn't pull that scene off, then we
Speaker 1: have no show with no serious and it was I
Speaker 1: was really nervous about playing. It just was not in
Speaker 1: my d NA. Yeah, how how do you prepare? Who
Speaker 1: do you look at? Well? I watched a lot tape
Speaker 1: and I loved this Bobby Night. Boy, what a character.
Speaker 1: You make him sound like he's just someone like you
Speaker 1: just found. Like you know, he's one the most famous
Speaker 1: coaches in any sport of all time. I do, But
Speaker 1: I just found him, this Bobby Night. Yeah, he's um.
Speaker 1: He was really not only obviously I realized what a
Speaker 1: great coach he was, but man, that guy has an
Speaker 1: incredible says of humor, doesn't I'm sure you maybe does
Speaker 1: your dad know him? Or my dad would I I've
Speaker 1: got in the business after he retired. Yeah, I watched
Speaker 1: a lot of his tapes. I've read a lot of books. John,
Speaker 1: wouldn't you know? I quote in there quite a bit.
Speaker 1: And freend of mine said, well, you know, I know
Speaker 1: Jerry West. Maybe I could hook you guys up. And
Speaker 1: I said, who oh god, No, No, I didn't know
Speaker 1: him to be honest with. And he's the logo, he's
Speaker 1: the NBA logo. I learned that and my my friend
Speaker 1: and I talked about earlier Roger Lodge. He's a huge,
Speaker 1: you know, sports fan. He knows everything. So I took
Speaker 1: him thankfully. But I went up to the place and
Speaker 1: I say, hey, Mr West, thank you for letting me
Speaker 1: come to the rehearsal. Today's First of all, it's not
Speaker 1: called rehearsal. Yeah, I'm not kidding you. Those aren't costumes.
Speaker 1: You know, those are outfit But I spent the day
Speaker 1: there and really not skuy Lauren. It was Clippers practice,
Speaker 1: and I thought, since I'm playing a college coach, that
Speaker 1: the Clippers were a college team. They're not. Do you
Speaker 1: live in l A. You could have gone to usc
Speaker 1: U C l A. You could have done anywhere. Well
Speaker 1: I did. I ended up going around and stuff. But
Speaker 1: Jerry West was so kind and great and I can
Speaker 1: talked to him quite a bit and he I think
Speaker 1: we sent it to you. He was on some talk
Speaker 1: shows recently was talking about me. If you have that clip,
Speaker 1: you can put it in later. But um, he said,
Speaker 1: I was believable. You were very believable. It was actually
Speaker 1: very shocking. Did they approach you because of the full
Speaker 1: house episode? I think it was called what was it?
Speaker 1: Air Jesse where you learned how to play basketball and
Speaker 1: Kareem abdul Jabbar teaches you your sweet spot and you
Speaker 1: hit the game winner. Funny episode, very unrealistic, but funny,
Speaker 1: unrealistic account. No whay you hit that shot? There's no
Speaker 1: where you hit that shot? That was my sweet spot,
Speaker 1: wasn't it? How was your sweet spot? Yeah? Right in
Speaker 1: the sweet spot. Did you did you see that? Did
Speaker 1: you watch the Full House? I watched every episode of
Speaker 1: Full House. I'm in nineties kid, Yeah, I'm I was terrible,
Speaker 1: and I said, let's just make Jesse terrible, and then
Speaker 1: I did. I had to play basketball on e Er terrible,
Speaker 1: and I had to do it on something else like bad,
Speaker 1: like I bad. So I actually had an easier time
Speaker 1: memorizing medical lingo than than the sports stuff. And I've
Speaker 1: heard a lot of doctor shows they just ad lib
Speaker 1: some of the medical lingo. Is that too? I don't
Speaker 1: think it doesn't have to be accurate. E Er was
Speaker 1: very very specific. We had doctors on the set saying
Speaker 1: hold the needle this way. You know. We had some
Speaker 1: good technical I mean I had one of the couple
Speaker 1: of the writers were basketball players and coaches. I had
Speaker 1: this Roger Lodge with me all the time. There was
Speaker 1: another a girl with her with us who worked with
Speaker 1: with our girls. He snowed in her name is She
Speaker 1: was I think a college player. So we tried to
Speaker 1: keep it as legit as possible. I really worked hard
Speaker 1: on all of I made sure that the dialect Nannie
Speaker 1: was just saying he up one of the scenes, and
Speaker 1: I just I had a bunch of coaches on Speed Dubb,
Speaker 1: but mainly Roger Lodge helped me with a lot of it.
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to watching with my husband because anytime
Speaker 1: we watch a basketball movie he cringes because he's like,
Speaker 1: they're so awkward. A practice would never look like this,
Speaker 1: sound like this, you know everything. So when I watched
Speaker 1: with him tonight, which we will get the app downloaded,
Speaker 1: I'll be sure to let you know if he gives
Speaker 1: his approval, because I think you just need an actual
Speaker 1: player to say yeah, I believe it. Well, is Jerry
Speaker 1: West an actual player? Sure is? Yeah? Yeah he was.
Speaker 1: It was quite a good one. What Jerry responded to,
Speaker 1: which which was what I hoped he would, was that
Speaker 1: it's not about I mean, yes, I gotta be a
Speaker 1: good coach and I have to tell them the right things, obviously,
Speaker 1: but his mentality was right, you know. Jerry said that
Speaker 1: the same thing for girls and boys like you know,
Speaker 1: although my character gets in trouble because I come in
Speaker 1: right off, you know, being a college coach, and I
Speaker 1: fat shame the girls and I say all the wrong things,
Speaker 1: but that doesn't sound very Disney either. That's why when
Speaker 1: you when you watch the show is a little surprising
Speaker 1: because it's a you know, I was like, oh, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a typical Disney show, but it's like, it's
Speaker 1: a really good ory. It has some of the you know,
Speaker 1: some of the issues that are currently in the Zeke
Speaker 1: guys are in the show, and that being one of them.
Speaker 1: Like he comes in and he yells at them, and
Speaker 1: they're they're like very sensitive, like you know gen z is,
Speaker 1: and so they have to find common ground. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: you know, it's interesting. I can't remember the woman's name,
Speaker 1: and my press ages begs me not to say anything
Speaker 1: about it. But early on before the show came out,
Speaker 1: there was an article in I believe the Chicago Times
Speaker 1: just hammering us. She hadn't seen the show, She hadn't
Speaker 1: seen the promo. She hasn't you know, Oh yeah, this
Speaker 1: man fall from Grace and he's got to go in
Speaker 1: and you know, you know, he teaches the girls, remember,
Speaker 1: but you know, and it was none of that right,
Speaker 1: and it was upsetting because she hadn't seen the show
Speaker 1: and she really sort of bashed. It was the first thing,
Speaker 1: and the girls were so upset and said, let's just
Speaker 1: this way. And then when it came out, it was
Speaker 1: glowing reviews and the opposite of what this person had said,
Speaker 1: which was I learned more from them. I'm a flawed guy.
Speaker 1: He's a guy who doesn't you know, he doesn't know
Speaker 1: how to communicate, he doesn't know how to be. He
Speaker 1: isn't friends. He sees the girls his exs and ohs,
Speaker 1: he says. And then of course, you know, by the
Speaker 1: end of the of the series, by the end of
Speaker 1: the second or third episode, you see the guy coming
Speaker 1: around and he cares more about the girls and their
Speaker 1: personalities and their lives than he does about basketball. That's
Speaker 1: a great story. I can't wait to watch. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be really good. I gotta bring you back for a second.
Speaker 1: You mentioned the cream at Build Jabar episode of Full House,
Speaker 1: and then I can't believe you asked me if I
Speaker 1: had watched the Full House. I just don't think anyone
Speaker 1: didn't my favorite episode. I'm dying to know what your
Speaker 1: favorite episode to film. Maybe there's a funny behind the
Speaker 1: scenes story or something that we don't know. My favorite
Speaker 1: episode is the Disney World episode. I think that's a
Speaker 1: lot of people's favorites. Oh yeah, that's funny, because I
Speaker 1: was I was almost gonna I was gonna make some jokes,
Speaker 1: but then I was gonna be seriously. But what was
Speaker 1: beautiful about that was that I got to bring my
Speaker 1: whole family to Disney World. It was the last time
Speaker 1: my dad died. After that, my mom was pasted. It
Speaker 1: was this, you know, this great moment of having you know,
Speaker 1: my whole family at a at a Disney park. My
Speaker 1: dad didn't love you know, parks that much. I'm sure.
Speaker 1: I don't know how you're death. No, yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: that's more of a young guys game, young young kids game.
Speaker 1: I get. It's like, it's get nauxious. I tried to
Speaker 1: go back to Great Adventure as an adult, and it's
Speaker 1: just not the same. It's like hot, sticky. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: just not. I'm liking that. Yeah, I don't want to
Speaker 1: be scared. I had, you know, we had a good
Speaker 1: time with everybody. I spent many years trying to get
Speaker 1: away from that show, with that character, and then I
Speaker 1: just gave up after a while because it wasn't going away.
Speaker 1: And then I embraced it because I know that it
Speaker 1: was important to a lot of people, and it meant
Speaker 1: a lot, and it provided a great life, a great life,
Speaker 1: a great life for my family, got to, you know,
Speaker 1: bring my family around, and it gave me fame, which
Speaker 1: I was trying to get, obviously, I told you, but
Speaker 1: it took me a while to gain a little, you know, legitimacy.
Speaker 1: I sort of gave up on trying to get it
Speaker 1: because you you look desperate if you do, you know,
Speaker 1: Yanny said, they did. They wrote this article and the
Speaker 1: calendar section last week, and yeah, I can't believe, like
Speaker 1: I've been waiting for this my whole career, but I
Speaker 1: did give up. I like fifth Broadway show or six,
Speaker 1: and I was working with James Jones, hands down one
Speaker 1: of the greatest living actors of all time, and I'm
Speaker 1: on stage with him for three hours and it was moving.
Speaker 1: It was a gorvy it all play called Best Man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: standing ovations, I think, And I walked out to Cinna
Speaker 1: autographs Uncle Dance, They like, you know, what what am
Speaker 1: I gonna do? So I just became grateful for that
Speaker 1: and everything in my life, and I think I don't
Speaker 1: think i'd be where I am now. This show big shot.
Speaker 1: When you see it, it's I think there's enough of
Speaker 1: what you would like about me, but it's a very
Speaker 1: different character. Absolutely, And that article, I think really nailed it.
Speaker 1: And you're welcome. You know. I had that article written.
Speaker 1: I worked through my public just to get that done.
Speaker 1: That was my little thank you to you for doing
Speaker 1: this show. I said, you know what, let me contact
Speaker 1: a few of my contacts. We're gonna do a little
Speaker 1: We're gonna do a flattering article in the l A
Speaker 1: Times for my boy John Stamo's Dade Greeks do stick
Speaker 1: together with the Greeks, watch each other's back. And the article,
Speaker 1: what I love was the he coined terms Stamos sassans
Speaker 1: like I'm saying it wrong, but a renaissance. But what
Speaker 1: you're stamossans. It was like a Stamo sans so saying
Speaker 1: that he's he's he's experiencing a Stamo soans, like a
Speaker 1: renaissance to come back. This is gonna be his time.
Speaker 1: This show is a show that really showcases his acting
Speaker 1: ability outside of that character. Obviously, and you've done other stuff.
Speaker 1: I mean, you did Broadway, You've done that one show
Speaker 1: where you impregnated about five women. I think it was
Speaker 1: special special that was the most realistic, that was the
Speaker 1: most true to your real life, that was more autobiographical
Speaker 1: than anything. There was an episode of Special Victims Unit
Speaker 1: where you had impregnated about a hundred women and they
Speaker 1: got you in the room at the end and they
Speaker 1: were all there and you didn't care because underneath it
Speaker 1: all Johnny Stamos, I'm trying to I'm remembering the podcast,
Speaker 1: and I was say, you hitdn't quit it. But you
Speaker 1: know that's not that's that's not the right podcast for
Speaker 1: the right And see that one it was I played
Speaker 1: this what do we call them, like uh, serial abusers
Speaker 1: that he had like like he said, I had, like,
Speaker 1: you know, a couple hundred kids in the States alone,
Speaker 1: and they said, well, you didn't check out Europe. He
Speaker 1: was so ecosistent. He wanted to spread his progeny and
Speaker 1: but I had money and I was taking care of
Speaker 1: the family. But I wasn't there for these kids. And
Speaker 1: then so that's what he's talking about, and I don't
Speaker 1: appreciate that. Hey, speaking of which, though in real life,
Speaker 1: you have a little boy Billy's heat what tore three
Speaker 1: years old? Oh my gosh, what's being a father of
Speaker 1: a three year old? Like? Do you have kids? No, Liby,
Speaker 1: how did you? I will go back to the dep
Speaker 1: but I want to ask you a few questions because Johnny,
Speaker 1: you know, taking too much of his time. How did
Speaker 1: you start your savant with sports knowledge and all that stuff? Right?
Speaker 1: I've been told, well, it sounds like my publicists maybe
Speaker 1: talked with your publicists, but my publicist didn't have the
Speaker 1: l A Times number. So that's as far as that
Speaker 1: one got started in sports. Grew up in sports family, right,
Speaker 1: And then this opportunity presented itself. I thought, well, you know,
Speaker 1: everyone's got a podcast. I don't need one. But then
Speaker 1: they said, well John Stamiles may come on one day,
Speaker 1: and I said, okay, yeah, let's do it. That's a
Speaker 1: good reason. And she's so funny. You don't need him.
Speaker 1: By the way, you're actually you're our first non sports guest,
Speaker 1: which I'm really excited about. We've had a lot of
Speaker 1: athletes on here. I play one on TV, right, But
Speaker 1: you're very good and I watched some of your a
Speaker 1: couple of things we're with people, and you're fantastic. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Do you want to be like your father announced you
Speaker 1: want to be a journalist. You want to what's your
Speaker 1: the goal? Yeah, that's that's very nice for you to say.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I think just growing up, you know, with
Speaker 1: the dad in it, taking me to games all the time.
Speaker 1: I just I grew up at a football field. I
Speaker 1: grew up on a basketball court. I just and and
Speaker 1: like you, we have this in common. I don't have
Speaker 1: an athletic bone in my body, but I thought, I
Speaker 1: want to be around it. I want to be in
Speaker 1: the front row. So I'm gonna learn how to talk
Speaker 1: about it. Why did you want to be around you
Speaker 1: liked it? Yeah, you know, I think it's probably the
Speaker 1: way you feel, you know, when that red light on
Speaker 1: the camera comes on. I have that too as a
Speaker 1: sideline reporter. So when I'm on the field and I
Speaker 1: get my first you know, thirty seconds and that red
Speaker 1: light on the camera comes on, That's when I feel
Speaker 1: most alive. Do you feel like that? Yes? Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Is your dad proud of you? Yeah? Right? Yeah? And
Speaker 1: my friend said that your dad does like you just said, basketball, football,
Speaker 1: That like how versatile, right, most guys do one sport? Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: my dad does football and basketball, so I do football, basketball,
Speaker 1: I do some tennis. You know. You know, I'm kind
Speaker 1: of a sellout. I'll do whatever pays. You know. It's
Speaker 1: kind of like my Greek yogurt commercial equivalent. It's it's
Speaker 1: just really whatever is there? Did you write for her? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean that what I mean that was coming up next?
Speaker 1: I mean you do you have a baby camera in
Speaker 1: my studio? Are we going to have children? And the

Speaker 1: Interview over that is. Yeah. We the beef between the
Speaker 1: Turks and Grease is it's worse than East and West
Speaker 1: Coast hip hop. I tell you it's not. It's tough.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that until we were in Turkey and
Speaker 1: we went to Antalya, which is right across from Miconos,
Speaker 1: and we were saying to our tour guide, we said, oh,
Speaker 1: it's so beautiful. We we honeymoon did Miconos right over there,

Speaker 1: of loving life. We were in that stage and I
Speaker 1: you know, you're you're late to fatherhood, so you probably
Speaker 1: can appreciate this. We enjoy our time. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: too selfish with it. Yeah, I had too much time,
Speaker 1: too much enjoyment. It was time to But now you
Speaker 1: have this precious gift of Billy. And are you just
Speaker 1: running all over the place. Yes, he's has a lot
Speaker 1: of energy. And I'm not even making a joke here.
Speaker 1: I I'm heartbroken because I think he's going to be
Speaker 1: an athlete. He's throws them all, it does the stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what am I? What am I gonna do?
Speaker 1: I just I didn't I could grounders, I could catch maybe,
Speaker 1: but I didn't want balls flying up my face. That
Speaker 1: no jokes. You already did that. Money you don't need,
Speaker 1: you don't need good. So, yeah, I was. My dad
Speaker 1: was played sports and he was an athlete right the
Speaker 1: gymnastic team and he was football. And he really wanted
Speaker 1: me to, you know, play sports, and I couldn't. He
Speaker 1: was embarrassed, but I tried, and so later on in life,
Speaker 1: he played a lot of golf and I wanted to
Speaker 1: spend time with my dad I said, I gotta learned
Speaker 1: through something. I took lessons because I love my dad.
Speaker 1: He was my hero, and I took lessons and I
Speaker 1: wanted to be around him, and so I was. I said, ready, dad.
Speaker 1: So we went out and it was like, I think,
Speaker 1: if you were over ninety or a hundred, you got
Speaker 1: in free that day because it was a lot of
Speaker 1: older women mainly. And I got up and I put
Speaker 1: the ball. I'm thinking about a lock of my wrists
Speaker 1: and I'm doing the whole thing, and uh, I hit
Speaker 1: it and it's slice. I sliced the ball and it
Speaker 1: flies by this nine year old woman's temple by like
Speaker 1: a thin quarter of an inch. And I could have
Speaker 1: I could have killed her. And my dad's put the
Speaker 1: clubs down, let's go home now. And then it was
Speaker 1: terrible and I was like, oh my god, I could have.
Speaker 1: I would have been like, hey, isn't it hey, that's
Speaker 1: john Stan. Didn't he kill a woman on a golf course.
Speaker 1: When you hit a year old woman with a golf ball,
Speaker 1: it's not just you killed her, right, it's a little
Speaker 1: bit of both. Well, No, I think that would have
Speaker 1: just met you. She's out golf and she's doing all right,
Speaker 1: she's doing he's doing all right. But you know it's
Speaker 1: a little there's a lot of elements involved. My dad
Speaker 1: also when he he would hit and you know if
Speaker 1: it's do you guys play golf? Yeah, so it pops
Speaker 1: it up and he would and he would always say
Speaker 1: something to make the ball, you know, get down, and
Speaker 1: that day he hits it, he goes, sit down, bitch
Speaker 1: women and the old ladies. Very passionate about his sports.
Speaker 1: His best friend was U. C. L a guy, and
Speaker 1: my dad was an SC guy and they would fight.
Speaker 1: The best friends fight, like help how you know that's
Speaker 1: maybe why I got turned off sports, But I just
Speaker 1: like I just did. Someone always has to lose. I
Speaker 1: don't like that you were a natural musician. Was that
Speaker 1: something that came natural to you? And I mean talk
Speaker 1: about living your dream? Favorite group growing up Beach Boys
Speaker 1: and now you're on tour with the Beach Boys. So cool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the greatest thing next to my wife and my kid.
Speaker 1: It's the greatest thing. I mean, it's the highlight. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I grew up idolizing the beach Who's your favorite group?
Speaker 1: Does straight count as a group? Sure? My favorite music
Speaker 1: is like N thirties sporties jazz. That's what I like, Sinatra.
Speaker 1: Did you like the rap Pack? Yeah? And aren't you
Speaker 1: gonna be hosting a podcast about his son? Yeah, we'll
Speaker 1: talk about that. Okay. Well, but I wanted to tell
Speaker 1: you about the Beach Boys. Yeah, we're playing on the
Speaker 1: four I don't know when it's theirs, but we're doing
Speaker 1: the fourth of July in Fort Lauderdale. The first time
Speaker 1: I played with the Beach Boys, well, the very first time.
Speaker 1: They were playing in San Diego. It's the Padre Stadium, right,
Speaker 1: and I was on General Hospital at the time, and
Speaker 1: my best friend is playing guitar with them, and I'm
Speaker 1: watching the show as I couldn't believe that I was back,
Speaker 1: you know, on the field and everything. And the show
Speaker 1: ends and I go before the encore and I go
Speaker 1: backstage and all these girls and cheerleaders are screaming, and
Speaker 1: they chased me into the dressing room. Was eight nineteen
Speaker 1: and Mike Love, with the lead singer, turns to my friends, said,
Speaker 1: who's that friend, John Salmons. He's on the show General Hospital.
Speaker 1: And my Love says, uh, the girls always falling around
Speaker 1: the scream and he said yeah. He goes get him
Speaker 1: on stage, and that was so I played an encore
Speaker 1: the Barbaran, and then I just continued. But in the
Speaker 1: next gig, the next big one was in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: It was a four. You know, I'm never going to
Speaker 1: write a book, but if I did, it would be
Speaker 1: like if you would have told me when I was
Speaker 1: a kid that I'd be on a podcast with Olivian
Speaker 1: and and the Greek, I'd be like, no, I never
Speaker 1: would have believed it. The girls on Big Shot, did
Speaker 1: they because they're too young to know Full House? So no,
Speaker 1: I think they know they know it from reruns or
Speaker 1: how familiar. Yeah, the show has been you know there's
Speaker 1: a new Full House fan born like every four years, right,
Speaker 1: I mean didn't see it when it was originally on. No,
Speaker 1: like late nineties is when I caught on. That was
Speaker 1: probably when runs then too. What are you seventy two
Speaker 1: this month? Like I said, olive oil keeps us looking
Speaker 1: young that and like you said, a dren of chrome.
Speaker 1: The girls on the show, they acted like they weren't
Speaker 1: that it wasn't that big a deal. But you know,
Speaker 1: as the as they were acting, they didn't know it.
Speaker 1: Funny too, they could have been going to that Janice Papas, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's crazy though, John is like
Speaker 1: I think for Full House fans who then grew up
Speaker 1: in the nineties early two thousand's, like there was no
Speaker 1: one more famous in the world than Mary kay Nashley.
Speaker 1: Like we dressed like them, looked like them, bought everything,
Speaker 1: they made war everything. These girls like Mary Kaye n
Speaker 1: Ashley did them is no one two kids like yeah, right,
Speaker 1: I guess so yeah, I mean, but look at how
Speaker 1: well they you know, I like, you know, we make jokes.
Speaker 1: But who knew that they would be this empire? They
Speaker 1: owned you in New York? Where are you at you
Speaker 1: I'm in New York. Yeah, they owned New York. They
Speaker 1: owned this building. Yeah, they owned this build. They do well,
Speaker 1: they're the girls. One of the things, you know, if
Speaker 1: you watch this, if you're done your homework, you would
Speaker 1: see that. I don't you know, it takes a while
Speaker 1: to connect with these, She asked. People were interviewing Roblow,
Speaker 1: so uh defense, she just thought it was the wrong heartthrob,
Speaker 1: I apologize, Well, he does his own makeup, I hear.
Speaker 1: And we're friends with friends, Yeah, yeah we are. So
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that so the girls and I
Speaker 1: didn't have it was written that we really Askedhole in
Speaker 1: the beginning of this thing anyway sward towards the end
Speaker 1: to I mean, he's a very stubborn guy who you know,
Speaker 1: has a specific way of doing things and it's worked
Speaker 1: for him, but it's not working anymore clearly. I mean,
Speaker 1: he this third episode, my daughter comes to live with me,
Speaker 1: and I've been, you know, not the greatest. I've been
Speaker 1: an absent because I said I was my career I had.
Speaker 1: This guy is a real it was a really really
Speaker 1: great coach, and that was tough too, because I really
Speaker 1: wanted to like, well, what makes it not just a
Speaker 1: coach but a legend? You know? You know, John Wooden
Speaker 1: was studying a lot of these guys, but we weren't
Speaker 1: connecting as characters. So I didn't even know the girl's
Speaker 1: names until the second or third episode, and I still
Speaker 1: don't even know most of them now. But that was
Speaker 1: really hard for me because you know, I do like
Speaker 1: to talk to people, want to make the crew and
Speaker 1: laugh and stuff, but I was really you know, if
Speaker 1: you you'll see it's a difference. Did you gain an
Speaker 1: appreciation for basketball at all? Going through the experience of
Speaker 1: hanging out with Jerry West studying and wouldn't no, not
Speaker 1: at all. I mean, I'm not being a jackass. I've
Speaker 1: always respected athletes, even more so now clearly you know remarkable,
Speaker 1: especially these pros, right and and your husband whatever? Is
Speaker 1: he a good player? Sam Decker's great. Yeah, they were great.
Speaker 1: They almost want a national championship. I was rooting for him,
Speaker 1: and he played for your Clippers for a year. If
Speaker 1: that's kind of your l a team Clippers. Where do
Speaker 1: you live? Where you where you? Where you at? We
Speaker 1: spent our summers in his hometown, Sheboygan, Wisconsin. It's a
Speaker 1: funny name. That's why you're funny, because you this. I
Speaker 1: do have a respect for them, and I used to go.
Speaker 1: I went a couple of times. I would go to
Speaker 1: the Lakers games with Gary Marshall took me a few times,
Speaker 1: and my friend says that they saw me sitting on
Speaker 1: the floor. They were so piste off because not only
Speaker 1: is it a waste on me, but you know on
Speaker 1: camera I'm like talking and the ordering food. Yeah, he said,
Speaker 1: even a kid, if they be happy if I was
Speaker 1: a kid, because he could grow up to be a
Speaker 1: sports fan. But they knew that I was never going
Speaker 1: to be And all the people listening are sports people, right,
Speaker 1: so they hate me. No, But I'm telling you when
Speaker 1: you when you watch the show, it really you do
Speaker 1: a great job acting like you are that coach with
Speaker 1: this winning pedigree. You're a good actor. John, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be honest with you. Maybe your toughest role yet. Now
Speaker 1: I'm talking to you, this sounds like this was quite
Speaker 1: the challenge. Yeah, I mean impregnating the hundreds of women
Speaker 1: that was like, like I said, that was a piece
Speaker 1: of cake. I should show her a scene from this show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you want to, I promise you I am going to
Speaker 1: be watching it. I was actually gonna ask kind of
Speaker 1: in that vein playing Uncle Jesse back, I will talk
Speaker 1: about the new show a lot. Go ahead. I just
Speaker 1: always kind of wondered because you off the show always
Speaker 1: kind of seemed like and maybe I just see you
Speaker 1: as Uncle Jesse. But was that art imitating life or
Speaker 1: life imitating art at any point? Like did you almost
Speaker 1: kind of merge with Uncle Jesse? Well, yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 1: I mean that's not a that's a good question. The
Speaker 1: creator was more of an Elvis fan than I was.
Speaker 1: I liked it. I his the character was original named
Speaker 1: Adam or something, and I came up with Jesse because
Speaker 1: that was Elvis's twin brother who died birth. And so
Speaker 1: but I'm not yes, I'm yeah, it kind of happened
Speaker 1: that way. But better is that this the new show.
Speaker 1: I really starting. At first, I got nothing in common
Speaker 1: with this guy, I don't think, you know. And I
Speaker 1: found that I do have more and more when he
Speaker 1: makes these you know this this first episode and again
Speaker 1: it's like, how many lockers scenes locker room speeches have
Speaker 1: you seen? And I watched every single one of them,
Speaker 1: and the one that was that was written was just
Speaker 1: wasn't it. And we did this table reading and David
Speaker 1: Kelly tursers, I'm gonna rewriter right or wherever I think
Speaker 1: he talks about that. And he wrote this speech that
Speaker 1: is so and it's not It's about doing your best
Speaker 1: and you know, and and getting up in the morning
Speaker 1: and can you look in the mirror and say I
Speaker 1: did my very best. You know, That's what it's and
Speaker 1: it's a really emotional. So those kind of things I
Speaker 1: really started. I thought, oh, I got this. Yes, I
Speaker 1: do my best every day, I you know, I I
Speaker 1: don't think I did. I didn't and I it really
Speaker 1: reached with me all the time. By the end of
Speaker 1: the last show, he's talks about being a father and
Speaker 1: again it's a very strange relationship with his daughter and
Speaker 1: he's trying to learn, he's trying to be better, and
Speaker 1: he takes one step forward, two steps back. It does
Speaker 1: not know how to do it. And at the end
Speaker 1: he says, I think I figured out it's I used
Speaker 1: to think it was about discipline and yell, we'll get this.
Speaker 1: I used to think it was about discipline, but it is,
Speaker 1: but not. I used to think it's about you know,
Speaker 1: spending time and one on one connection. It is, but
Speaker 1: that's nothing. And he comes to the point says, it's
Speaker 1: about sacrifice. It's about passing on your own needs and
Speaker 1: your own desires to for the betterment of your child
Speaker 1: and you. And at the end of the day, it's
Speaker 1: a lifetime commitment, which you'll see at some point, Libby,
Speaker 1: if the guy ever gets home from basketball. It's a
Speaker 1: lifetime commitment and you have to And he said, at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you don't win a trophy,
Speaker 1: or you don't get a ring or a banner, but
Speaker 1: what you do get if you do it right, is
Speaker 1: you get a better, more loving, kinder, smarter version of
Speaker 1: yourself to put out there. So I thought that was
Speaker 1: very sweet. Well, that is incredible and that is going
Speaker 1: to suck everyone in and make him want to watch
Speaker 1: this show. The show is called Big Shot. I don't
Speaker 1: think we said it an. It airs on Disney Plus.
Speaker 1: It is out now. Everyone should go watch it. John.
Speaker 1: We have taken up so much of your time, but
Speaker 1: if you've got a couple more minutes, I learned to
Speaker 1: do a quick, quick hit question lightning round. Okay, but
Speaker 1: you know what I wanted to talk about the podcast
Speaker 1: really fast because I told yes, please go ahead. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got it. He's I heard the first episode. It's incredible.
Speaker 1: He got actually a podcast series coming out with the
Speaker 1: guy who tried to who actually successfully kidnapped Frank Sinatra Jr.
Speaker 1: Which is one of the craziest stories in American history. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he interviews the guy who actually pulled it off.
Speaker 1: So tell us a little bit about that. Did you
Speaker 1: hear my phone ringing? Yeah? That was him following me
Speaker 1: in the in the in the six ninet I was
Speaker 1: really in nineties. This guy Barry Keenan was we do
Speaker 1: a beautiful job of showing him why he did it.
Speaker 1: I mean, by the end of the first episode, I
Speaker 1: think Jest will attest to this, you realized this guy
Speaker 1: was at his rock bottom. I mean, he with a
Speaker 1: mother who was was mentally ill, and he became, you know,
Speaker 1: he was eventually, you know, deemed mentally ill. Not too crazy,
Speaker 1: but just not straight. He had alcohol and drug issues.
Speaker 1: He lost all a very smart guy, lost all his
Speaker 1: money and he needed two d dollars to get his
Speaker 1: life back together and his parents and his thing. And
Speaker 1: he was on the bluff overlooking Catalan Island in Balboa Island,
Speaker 1: and God's voice came over the radio and said, kidnap somebody,
Speaker 1: and it can't be a kid, it can't be a woman.
Speaker 1: And he he was gonna do Bob Hope's son, but
Speaker 1: he thought, well that's too patriotic. I'm gonna go for
Speaker 1: Sinatra Jr. And it's the craziest, most complicated. It's like
Speaker 1: the It's like Cohen Brothers meets the Marx Brothers. It's fascinating.
Speaker 1: He ended up pulling it off, and Sinatra tried to
Speaker 1: kill him for fifty years. I mean, it's the story
Speaker 1: is outrageous and I've never no offense. But you throw
Speaker 1: a stick out the wind all hit six people with
Speaker 1: the podcast, like you said, but this is a little different.
Speaker 1: It's just me narrating the story of this guy, and um,
Speaker 1: it's on Wondering. Star comes July. I believe, oh I
Speaker 1: cannot wait for that that that that story will suck me.
Speaker 1: And that's in Wondering does such a good job. You know.
Speaker 1: What's what's cool about it is it's I've been working
Speaker 1: on the story and different versions of it for television,
Speaker 1: but the podcast came up during COVID and it was
Speaker 1: around Black Lives Matter, and I was like, the think
Speaker 1: that's good about this is that it's it has all
Speaker 1: the juicy, you know, twists and turns that you love
Speaker 1: about true crime, minus the serial killers, blood gore. It's fun.
Speaker 1: Nobody gets hurt, but nobody gets out alive. What's it
Speaker 1: called the Grand scheme, snatching Sinatra, the grant, the rent schemes,
Speaker 1: snatching Sinatra. I don't talk like that. You're good, You're ready,
Speaker 1: You're ready. I was very surprised at how my voice sounds,
Speaker 1: because I sort it's very different than acting if it's
Speaker 1: slowed down and I really tried to narrate it, and
Speaker 1: sometimes it sound like Casey Kayson. No, it's I heard
Speaker 1: the first episode. And I hate to compliment you again
Speaker 1: because you already have too much going on that's successful.
Speaker 1: But your voice is great. It's silky, it's smooth, and
Speaker 1: you build anticipation for you. I'm telling you, if I
Speaker 1: was John Stamos and the day comes in the very
Speaker 1: far future where you have to die, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: very difficult for you to even go to heaven because
Speaker 1: it's a downgrade for you. You're like, what do we come?
Speaker 1: I mean, can you imagine? I'm just saying, like John
Speaker 1: Stamos gets to the Pearly Gates, He's gonna be like,
Speaker 1: you know what, Like, is there anyway can I go back?
Speaker 1: Is there anybody can go back to being John Stamos?
Speaker 1: Because it was a lot better than the bullshit you
Speaker 1: got going on up here. You're walking around the food,
Speaker 1: You're gonna carry me on the beach, do you understand?
Speaker 1: I played with the beach Boys? All kidding aside, My
Speaker 1: life has been just that great and I'm so being
Speaker 1: fifty seven. I can really have perspective. I've been sober
Speaker 1: quite a while now. That had a lot to do
Speaker 1: with me having a beautiful child and a wife and gratis,
Speaker 1: you know, and it's taken me a long time. But
Speaker 1: you're right, you honest. Also, you're really talented. Honest. I
Speaker 1: don't want to joke about you. But he did this.
Speaker 1: I didn't know, like I said, I did I d
Speaker 1: M you or something? Yeah, I mean I thought we
Speaker 1: met on grinder initially, right, right, right, But I mean
Speaker 1: after that, after that, right, and then I found out
Speaker 1: he'd been doing jokes about man. He said he was
Speaker 1: the my brother or something on there, and it was
Speaker 1: very serendipitous. But you're really talented people. People would say
Speaker 1: that I look like you if you got into an
Speaker 1: accident and had your face reconstructed. I looked like the
Speaker 1: lighting stand in. I looked like the guy who comes
Speaker 1: in to make sure the lighting is right, and then
Speaker 1: they're like, okay, get out of here, you know, because
Speaker 1: I got the dark hair, I got the features, and
Speaker 1: then the real thing comes in. They you know, I
Speaker 1: thought your lighting stand in is quite a looker as well. Probably, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would love to see your standing. Rob Low we
Speaker 1: were talking about yeah, Rob's listening, and um, honest, here
Speaker 1: look at the bone structure of you. And I can't,
Speaker 1: you know, say too much about a living because the
Speaker 1: husband's listening. Yeah, he's a he's a big kid. That'll
Speaker 1: he'll he'll put a harding on both of us. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I saw that. I was flipping through your stuff early
Speaker 1: when we met and he said something about john Stoneles
Speaker 1: and what the hell? And I was playing it for
Speaker 1: like my sisters, my publicism, and some of the stuff
Speaker 1: he was saying was pretty What were some of those
Speaker 1: jokes on there? Yeah? Well I said that, you know,
Speaker 1: if Stamos and Cluney how to stare off? Yeah, it
Speaker 1: would like they have a stare off to see who
Speaker 1: got hard first. I apologize, I know this is the
Speaker 1: but I mean that's what happened. And I think Stop
Speaker 1: must win. I think he would win him verst Clutey.
Speaker 1: They'd stare whoever got hard first loses. Yeah, Cluney, I've
Speaker 1: seen that this has happened. Yeah, and that's a guy.
Speaker 1: He did say being famous was awesome. Now I'm starting
Speaker 1: to think, so like this does happen? Well, that didn't know. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm grateful and Olivia I wish you the best with
Speaker 1: this podcast. I think it's really good. You guys are
Speaker 1: good together. If I would shut up, No, hey, we

Speaker 1: take in all seriousness. We can take the ribbing. It's funny.

Speaker 1: you're gonna give everyone your Disney Plus password so they
Speaker 1: can watch Big Shot on Disney Plus, like just password

Speaker 1: give it to my publicists to sign to put something
Speaker 1: up recently, and it was embarrassing. Well, big Shot is
Speaker 1: the show, right, Olivia. I mean, that's it. We did it.

Speaker 1: I've just got a couple I want to do, and
Speaker 1: Janice has something. We're gonna just switch off and then
Speaker 1: we're gonna let you out of here. Okay, my first one.
Speaker 1: Best show you've ever had a cameo in? That includes Friends, Glee?
Speaker 1: You what's the best show you've had a cameo in.
Speaker 1: That's a good question, like best show that that I
Speaker 1: liked or doing the best experience? Right? Wasn't Glee, although
Speaker 1: it was fun. I was on the second season and
Speaker 1: I remember they were just starting to get really for
Speaker 1: They were great kids, but they you know, they were
Speaker 1: worked pretty hard and they went through a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff and they they had just just started and I gathered.

Speaker 1: of my said, I'm gonna give you guys one Peter
Speaker 1: plus don't pock each other, you know, And that's not
Speaker 1: what happened. Um, I'm trying to think that was that was?
Speaker 1: I like that? Friends? Friends was not? Ill tell you
Speaker 1: here's the truth story. This supposed to be lightning around
Speaker 1: I'm not. Yeah, that's all right, some more like a
Speaker 1: low thundersto Friends. Was that was good? She's had about
Speaker 1: three or four absolute diggers. Yeah, I don't like it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Friends was interesting because I wasn't. I was at a
Speaker 1: sort of a lower point in my career even more,
Speaker 1: you know, mentally, I just didn't have a lot of
Speaker 1: confidence in myself and my my ex wife at the
Speaker 1: time was becoming a big star, and I was, you know,
Speaker 1: people were gonna get out of the way John and
Speaker 1: let me see her and so and she was on
Speaker 1: I guess. And then they say, hey, you want to
Speaker 1: do something on here, and you know, like throwing me
Speaker 1: a bone or something. Okay, I played, I can't remember
Speaker 1: I played a They wanted my sperm or something like
Speaker 1: like most Greeks, they were they were interviewing me for
Speaker 1: a sperm sample or something. Right, did you see it? No,
Speaker 1: it looked like she was. She was trying to see
Speaker 1: it though, right, the husband with Lena, so I came
Speaker 1: in the door and we were rehearsed for a day
Speaker 1: or so and they you know, they said, okay, John,
Speaker 1: And it was on the same stage that we shot
Speaker 1: full of So you come in through the door and
Speaker 1: hold for a second because the audience is gonna go crazy,
Speaker 1: and you know, and then you wouldn Sinder I said,

Speaker 1: I walked through the door. Crickets. I mean, oh no,
Speaker 1: and I'm looking like this and Matthew carry and I
Speaker 1: just keep going and that was it. And I was
Speaker 1: like so and then we didn't do it again, and
Speaker 1: then you know, that was it. I think in my defense,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think they were expected the audience.
Speaker 1: I mean it was a surprise, but they made such
Speaker 1: a big hide them behind here and don't think and
Speaker 1: when you walk in me, oh, that's so cringe e.
Speaker 1: And I'm shocked. To be fair, I'm not a Friends
Speaker 1: fan anyway, So who cares about them? They didn't know
Speaker 1: what they're doing. Quick question, I got you, okay, honest,
Speaker 1: if you had to be married to one of these
Speaker 1: two the rest of your life, would it be Bob
Speaker 1: Saget or Dave ko Ye Oh, that's cool. That's interesting,
Speaker 1: which one I would think, but I would take My
Speaker 1: son comes in here. You asked about the kids. He
Speaker 1: likes to put I'm not making this up. By the way,
Speaker 1: this is an expensive guitar. He likes to put ship
Speaker 1: in my guitar. Oh my god, there's gonna be like
Speaker 1: a dinosaur or something in there. I hope it's just
Speaker 1: that there's a pan. It's a pan for those who
Speaker 1: are just listening. John Stamos has now proceeded to lift
Speaker 1: his guitar over his head and shake it vigorously, waiting
Speaker 1: for his son's toy to fall out. Yeah, in there,
Speaker 1: I'm not going on light. There's a You can't ground
Speaker 1: him at three right? Did you hide your weed in there? No?
Speaker 1: He um. I impressed upon him to try try your best,
Speaker 1: like you know, I can't do it. Try again, Try again, heways.
Speaker 1: My dad he tells me, first, you don't see try try.
Speaker 1: My wife's just to me is today he was at
Speaker 1: his the little friend's house playing. They were having soccer something.
Speaker 1: He went up and kissed this little boy. Tried to
Speaker 1: as him and the friends and he kept going at him.
Speaker 1: He said, My daddy tells me if I don't succeed,
Speaker 1: I gotta try try. It was like, no, they don't
Speaker 1: have to kiss the boys. Okay. One are the fascinating
Speaker 1: right lightning round questions you have? Well, you definitely didn't
Speaker 1: answer that. And then I want to know my brother's gay?
Speaker 1: Will you marry him so I can hang out with
Speaker 1: you more? Yes? I like that? Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1: You have how many of you have three brothers? Right?
Speaker 1: I got two brothers, one of which is a big
Speaker 1: fan of you, and he's gay, and I would like
Speaker 1: if I can convince you to marry him, then we
Speaker 1: can hang out all the time. We hang out too
Speaker 1: much as is we do. Yeah, we're like schoolgirls. We text,
Speaker 1: we face time sometimes. Okay, I've got one more lightning
Speaker 1: around question. You've got to answer this one because you're
Speaker 1: really not answering any what Bob Sagging or Dave Creek?
Speaker 1: What kind of question is that? Sag It? No? I
Speaker 1: think Dave Davis would do the voices, and sag It
Speaker 1: would just talk me to death. So I think Dave
Speaker 1: and he's wild, right he says wildest. People say he's
Speaker 1: uh he goes. You go see sag It live. You
Speaker 1: can't believe that he Danny Tanner has such Danny Tanner
Speaker 1: but one of the great great both of them. But
Speaker 1: Bob is a really a great, great, good person. I
Speaker 1: love it. You have to have dinner with Mary, Kate
Speaker 1: or Ashley. Who's a better dinner date. Oh, last time
Speaker 1: I saw him they were thirteen or something, so I
Speaker 1: don't really know. But you haven't seen him since? No,
Speaker 1: I have. I have, I mean not last fifteen years
Speaker 1: or so, but all the who would I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's a you guys, we're doing so well with this podcast, Like,
Speaker 1: we don't need these questions. You know what's funny. I
Speaker 1: think fans of TV shows, long running TV shows in
Speaker 1: our heads, you guys, like get together for holidays. You
Speaker 1: have a text threat all this stuff that doesn't happen,
Speaker 1: does it? Yes? It does? We did. I mean the
Speaker 1: twins just didn't. Really. Other than the twins, we're all
Speaker 1: very very We have a text chain going right now.
Speaker 1: I have a text chain with with them. I have
Speaker 1: a text shame with me the Big Shot girls. It's
Speaker 1: that's called t c k S, which is the thing
Speaker 1: that we said on there to take care of keeps
Speaker 1: saying I have r I have the e r gang
Speaker 1: on here the girl plays. My daughter just texted me
Speaker 1: and said, hey, guess where I am, And then she
Speaker 1: sent a picture of the house. She says that, hey,
Speaker 1: the full house house. Well, John, me and you text
Speaker 1: a lot. Just be careful that you don't text her
Speaker 1: what you're texting me at any point, because our text
Speaker 1: is a little more grown up than your text with
Speaker 1: those children. Yeah. I just told her I'm not home. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe it's trying to find me there. I don't know
Speaker 1: which one the delightful go you know, to be To
Speaker 1: give you something on that is that there was always
Speaker 1: I think it was Mary. Kate was a little more emotional,
Speaker 1: would do the you know, the sort of the heart
Speaker 1: tugging scenes where you hear that strange and Ashley was
Speaker 1: I think was funnier. I think that was how it went.
Speaker 1: That's interesting, But you could also have that totally mixed up, right,
Speaker 1: I put, yes, So we learned nothing there. But what
Speaker 1: have you ever texted someone and it was the wrong
Speaker 1: person like that? Has that ever happened to you? When
Speaker 1: you text one? You text someone and it's somebody that
Speaker 1: you really didn't want to see what you just texted
Speaker 1: and it was meant for somebody else. Yes, my wife,
Speaker 1: have you I know you got a chill. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: it's happened to me. It's happened to me a bunch
Speaker 1: of times. Yeah, go ahead, what happened? Oh god, I'm
Speaker 1: trying to think of a good one, Olivia. I've I've
Speaker 1: done ones were like this guy's a real asshole. And
Speaker 1: it was to the guy, Yeah I've done I've done
Speaker 1: that with girlfriends. I have never done it, but someone
Speaker 1: did it to me. I was like, m I was
Speaker 1: working with him. It was the thing and he said, hey,
Speaker 1: call me a pain in the ass or something, and
Speaker 1: I was just digging at a script. I didn't like it.
Speaker 1: We kept trying to get it right. M Olivia, who
Speaker 1: would you have rather have dinner with? Kareem abdor jabar
Speaker 1: or Um. I don't know. You're trying to think of
Speaker 1: another sports person. You can't think of one. Ruth, Babe
Speaker 1: Ruth historic. Although it's funny. I think if Babe Ruth
Speaker 1: were to play today, and this is such a tangent,
Speaker 1: but it's I mean, when you look back at pictures
Speaker 1: of Babe Ruth playing, he was like an overweight kind
Speaker 1: of rusty krusty man like he wasn't you could do
Speaker 1: the TV movie about him. You could play him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I could play right now, I certainly can't. Yeah I could.
Speaker 1: I could play John Goodman did a good job playing him.
Speaker 1: Those pictures of Babe Ruth are later in his career.
Speaker 1: If you look to it earlier years. He was actually
Speaker 1: kind of like Jack. He was about six six ft
Speaker 1: six one right, which was big for that time, and
Speaker 1: he just had that natural strike. He just had that
Speaker 1: and two way player. I mean picture the whole thing
Speaker 1: and the kid. The kid put up some Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame numbers with the ladies. He put up some Stamos.
Speaker 1: He put up some Stamos Stamos numbers, Stamos s. It
Speaker 1: was stamo esque Stamos, not quite Stamos level. Who would
Speaker 1: you rather have dinner with? Olivia? The What are those
Speaker 1: twins names? There's twin BASKETBA players. I know one of
Speaker 1: them there. They live in Florida. To twin brothers. Twins
Speaker 1: basketball players Morris, Marcus Morris and Morris Gosh, they collect
Speaker 1: Disney stuff. That's why I know one of them. They
Speaker 1: live in Florida. People at home, who am I trying
Speaker 1: to think of basketball? Twins. I don't know, I have
Speaker 1: to if the sports people, oh the is it the
Speaker 1: Lopez brothers? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, okay, Broker Robin Lopez, yes, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: yes yes okay yeah, and Brooke plays for the Bucks,
Speaker 1: which brings us back to if you really want to
Speaker 1: make your three year old son happy, if he's really
Speaker 1: getting into sports as a Greek, you should get him
Speaker 1: a little Janice onto the combo jersey. That's like the
Speaker 1: most famous basketball player for sure, the most famous Greek
Speaker 1: basketball player. Okay, I we'll do that. Yeah, yeah, And again,
Speaker 1: I don't mean to come off disrespectful towards starts sports.
Speaker 1: I admire everybody who plays him, who announces him, who
Speaker 1: does him. It's just that I I'm starting to like it.
Speaker 1: I guess I have a basketball corner at my house,
Speaker 1: and I guess I had to shoot at the last episode.
Speaker 1: I had to make a couple of three free throws
Speaker 1: or something. Then do you that form looked good, the
Speaker 1: passes look good, and how long did you work on that?
Speaker 1: So it just it seems like you were a guy
Speaker 1: who knew how to play basketball in those scenes, which
Speaker 1: is very that's a testimony your acting ability, John m
Speaker 1: I really did work hard on it all because it
Speaker 1: was important to be respectful there. I somehow I actually
Speaker 1: to be honest with you. So it's a scene at
Speaker 1: it's the last episode and I have to make a
Speaker 1: few of those shots, like you're taking a cookie out
Speaker 1: of the cookie jar, right, yeah, right, But I actually
Speaker 1: it was they had this big white shot of the
Speaker 1: gym and the cameras way back and I had to
Speaker 1: make and I'm up there and it do my lineup
Speaker 1: thing and it goes in. Now I'm supposed to be
Speaker 1: like pensive and I'm thinking about each girl as I
Speaker 1: throw it, and but meanwhile I'm you, guys, got I got?
Speaker 1: I made it? Do you guys get well? Second one
Speaker 1: goes in my hand of God, the people are freaking out,
Speaker 1: Hello God that we're rolling camera right, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know how it happened, but I guess I'm a
Speaker 1: pressure under pressure guy. Yeah. And this is in a
Speaker 1: game in the show that the coach had to make
Speaker 1: a shot. There's two times I had to play. One
Speaker 1: was this beautiful scene where I think it's a It's
Speaker 1: in the second episode where I was talking about my
Speaker 1: daughter and she says not bet he she misses you
Speaker 1: and I said yeah, and she said, I do anything
Speaker 1: to be you know, see my dad again. I said, oh,
Speaker 1: is he done around? And she said no. She walks out.
Speaker 1: And I looked at her thing on the computer, her background,
Speaker 1: and it said her father was deceased. And said, hey, Destiny,
Speaker 1: you want to play a game horse? And it was
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful scene, the two of us just like playing.
Speaker 1: And I said, I'll bet you a million dollars and
Speaker 1: she and she beats me in the final thing. It's
Speaker 1: really sweet. Well, listen, there's been a lot of nonsense
Speaker 1: said during this interview. This has gone every which way,
Speaker 1: but I think on a sentimental moment like that, that's
Speaker 1: a pretty good place to wrap if that's what you
Speaker 1: call an ending. This Amos Sons Stamo Sons is what
Speaker 1: he called it in the l A time zon is
Speaker 1: upon us. This is your time right now. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: I don't want to give you a pep talk. You're
Speaker 1: about to blow up. You're an up and coming actor.
Speaker 1: You've got a lot of talent. Kid, this is gonna
Speaker 1: go good for you. Nobody knows who you are, but
Speaker 1: one day they will. You think, yeah, it really truly
Speaker 1: is a fantastic show, and it's it's crazy that this
Speaker 1: show is getting so much attention considering it's you're playing
Speaker 1: a basketball coach and it's something you knew nothing about before.
Speaker 1: It shows you're acting talent. I think that l A
Speaker 1: Times article is correct. Man, You're a very talented dude,
Speaker 1: and I'm just honored to be friends with you, and
Speaker 1: I hope your career takes off because to day, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's been nothing. Nobody knows who you are, No women
Speaker 1: know who you are. You're unrecognizable. You could walk down
Speaker 1: the street and nobody would know. I think this podcast
Speaker 1: is gonna do it for me. I think this is
Speaker 1: this is it, this is tonight, this is thanks for
Speaker 1: having me, Thanks for hiring my friend. I think he's
Speaker 1: wickedly smart. I know he doesn't that way right now,
Speaker 1: but he knows a lot about a lot of things,
Speaker 1: and I know he knows a lot about sports. So
Speaker 1: I wish you guys the best. I'm gonna be tuning
Speaker 1: in to see to hear both of you every single
Speaker 1: time you're on. Well, thank you so much. You were
Speaker 1: the most colorful and entertaining guest we've had yet. And
Speaker 1: I mean that well really yeah, yeah, this was a
Speaker 1: ton of fun. Well, thank you, you're great. I wish
Speaker 1: you all the best. So how do your dad and
Speaker 1: your husband? Thank you? Yeah, we are back with Peter
Speaker 1: Andrew from bet MGM to help us with some of
Speaker 1: the weekend's top games, top events and everything. But we
Speaker 1: got to just bring up that the biggest bet that
Speaker 1: we all had behind the scenes was if his now
Speaker 1: fiancee was going to say yes, Peter, tell us about
Speaker 1: your engagement. Congrats, thank you very much. Yeah, if you're
Speaker 1: a chalk better you uh you took minus ten thousand
Speaker 1: her to say yes, so she did. So we're enjoying
Speaker 1: a couple of days in the Bahamas right now. Congratulations
Speaker 1: to you and Stephanie the future Mrs Andrew. We're so
Speaker 1: excited for you guys. Thank you. Now we gotta pick
Speaker 1: your brain a little bit. I know you're on vacation,
Speaker 1: but we need a little help, my friend. So Wimbledon
Speaker 1: has begun walk us through some of the bets going
Speaker 1: into this weekend at Center Court. I know for tournament winner,
Speaker 1: the joker is minus one sixty and for the women
Speaker 1: ash party is plus four fifty. What do you like there? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a tough tournament. Obviously, we
Speaker 1: had a couple of bigger names back out for Wimbledon.
Speaker 1: I really like Joker and Party, right. I mean, obviously
Speaker 1: you're taking a little bit of the chalk there, but
Speaker 1: I think they're good bets. They're above and beyond the
Speaker 1: more superior of the tennis players. I think if you
Speaker 1: want to take a couple of stabs at some maybe
Speaker 1: better prices, taking a shot Andy Murray, the local Englishman
Speaker 1: plus four thousand worth a couple of bucks, they're a
Speaker 1: big return. Obviously it's gonna be a bit difficult for
Speaker 1: him to make it through, but you know, worth putting
Speaker 1: five ten bucks on. He's a previous winner as well.
Speaker 1: And then I think the the obvious one is going
Speaker 1: for a lady like Serena Williams riven Cocoa Golf plus
Speaker 1: six fifty plus sixteen hundred respectively. You can't go wrong
Speaker 1: just taking a little bit of a long shot there
Speaker 1: and seeing if they can return some value to you,
Speaker 1: absolutely better value. They're sticking on that side of the pond.
Speaker 1: Euro Cup is under way, there's some big games Friday.
Speaker 1: We know this air is Thursday, so this is very timely.
Speaker 1: I know you like Italy, Peter, Yeah, so a little
Speaker 1: bit to do with my heritage. But they are a
Speaker 1: really really strong team Italy. I think they've passed the
Speaker 1: eye test. They're great defensive team, they can score goals.
Speaker 1: Belgium is going to be a tough challenge, but I
Speaker 1: think they're just a more complete team. So I really
Speaker 1: liked them plus one on Friday. Just win. It has
Speaker 1: to be within ninety minutes, so within the normal game time.
Speaker 1: But also I love them at plus four hundred to
Speaker 1: win the Euros, and then a couple other bets potentially
Speaker 1: to take Denmark plus nine hundred. I think you can
Speaker 1: also take a shot at Switzerland plus teams that are
Speaker 1: looking to surprise both riding tons of energy. Denmark with
Speaker 1: Christian Erikson's injury, they've obviously kind of looked past that
Speaker 1: and and are starting to really amplify their game. And
Speaker 1: then Switzerland huge huge win against France yesterday as this
Speaker 1: is airing today on Tuesday, both playing with a ton
Speaker 1: of energy, so worth again throwing a couple of bucks
Speaker 1: on them. Euros have been fantastic so far, so I
Speaker 1: expected to be a couple of fun games going on
Speaker 1: to Friday Saturday. Oh, they're so fun to watch, aren't they?
Speaker 1: Absolutely so? Back over state side, we can't really get
Speaker 1: too much into NBA as those series are are going
Speaker 1: on a little bit further than we thought and are
Speaker 1: so much fun to watch. I got the chance to
Speaker 1: go to the Hawks at Bucks game last week and
Speaker 1: it was a blast. Hawks take the win narrowly last
Speaker 1: Wednesday and that was fun to be at. But Stanley
Speaker 1: Cup Finals Game one has just happened. Tampa Bay wins that.
Speaker 1: What can people will put their money on this weekend? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think Tampa is really proven to be the more
Speaker 1: superior team. Montreal had pretty energetic series against Vegas. They've
Speaker 1: been playing fantastic, but Tampa really is above and beyond.
Speaker 1: A couple of bets. I like Tampa win the series.
Speaker 1: For one, that's at plus two fifty. I think Montreal
Speaker 1: squeezes out one game at home. Tampa I think eventually
Speaker 1: wins it back in Tampa Bay in game five. And
Speaker 1: then I also like when it comes to const mythe
Speaker 1: so the MVP of the tournament, you also look at
Speaker 1: Brighton point to win the Consuma Trophy. Plus two I
Speaker 1: think that's a pretty good bet considering he's kind of
Speaker 1: been the one leading the charge throughout the entirety of
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And then a couple of random bets as well.
Speaker 1: Nikia Koutrov most goals for the Lightning in the series.
Speaker 1: That's at minus one thirty five. Now he had two
Speaker 1: in game one, so he's got a little bit of
Speaker 1: an advantage as they go into Game two and beyond.
Speaker 1: And then the young guy col call Field on the
Speaker 1: Montreal side plus six hundreds have the most goals. He's
Speaker 1: come in has been fantastic in the last series. He's
Speaker 1: I think nineteen years old and just proving he's going
Speaker 1: to be a superstar in the NHL. Plus six hundred
Speaker 1: again good value there, get him to score a couple
Speaker 1: and then come out on top. Well, my friend, you
Speaker 1: have clearly done your homework, even on your engagement moon.
Speaker 1: Now go enjoy the rest of your vacation. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much for helping us with our financial decisions this weekend.
