Here's your host, Olivia 0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:29.800 Harlan Decker. Welcome back to Unleashed by bet MGM, the 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:33.199 King of Sports Books. I'm Olivia Harlan Decker and i 0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:36.239 am joined this week by a very funny man, a 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:39.199 very funny man with a great connection, who is going 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:42.440 to be our guest this week, comedian Janice Papas, who 0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:47.519 was bringing in fellow Greek and fellow buddy John Stamos. So, Janice, 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:49.360 thank you so much for coming on and thanks for 0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:52.519 bringing your friend. Thank you for having me. It's a pleasure. 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:55.320 I'm a big fan of your pops and I've been 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:58.320 watching you on Instagram and I'm happy to be doing this. 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:00.680 This is a lot of fun. Well, thank you. We're 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:03.360 excited to have you on. We were talking earlier about 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:06.800 you're spelling of Janice. Why a N N I s 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.720 in the difference with the Greek freak Janna Santa to Kumpo? 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:13.759 Why is that spelled different? First of all, for googling purposes, 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:17.319 I'm glad we did spell it differently, because if we 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.480 spelt it the same way, all my Google search results 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.080 would have been usurped by him. He's the most googled. 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:25.520 I think I might have been the most googled honest 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:28.800 before him, and then he came in and yeah, he 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.280 took over. So thankfully. My name's y A n n 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:34.240 I S. He's g I. You can spell it three ways, 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:37.800 why I A n n I S y A n 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:39.640 n I S or you can spelt like he does 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.560 g I A. So there's three ways. The Greeks don't 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:44.760 have reasons for the way, you know, we just just 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:47.640 like to make things complicated for the sake of the complicated. Well, 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:49.840 it's awesome to have you on. And we were talking 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.600 about Jannese before. Obviously the Bucks are in a really 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:55.120 good series with the Atlanta Hawks. You've been watching. Who 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.400 have you been cheering for? I've been cheering, of course, 0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:59.600 I've been sharing for the books. Okay, he's a Greek 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.320 hero right now, he's like, oh he believes Yeah, any 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.400 game he plays and you will see like a contingent 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.520 of Greeks in the stands with flags. They're chanting like 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:11.000 Greek national songs. They love him. I love him and 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:12.880 the Greeks. We have to support each other. There's only 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:16.160 like a million of us in America, and we stick together. 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.080 That's why we're able to get John Stamos, whose name 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.720 is actually also Yanni. John is the English for Yanni. 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:24.200 Get out. Really Yeah, me him and Yanni on the Bucks. 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:25.960 We're gonna do a sitcom and we're gonna have two 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:29.040 kids move in with us and they'll be played by twins, 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.440 and we'll just do a reboot. We'll do a Yanni 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:35.960 reboot of Full House. Yeah, reboots already been done Fuller House, 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.440 of which I didn't realize John Stamos was an executive 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:41.560 producer on. That's pretty impressive. Yeah, he gets his hands 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:43.120 and a lot of things. I mean, he he tours 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.320 with the Beach Boys, he produces stuff. He's doing this 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:49.240 incredible new podcast where he got the rights to uh, 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:53.600 the guy's story who kidnapped Frank Sinatra Jr. And he's 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:55.880 doing like a truth We got to ask him about that. 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.000 That's awesome. We gotta ask him. He's doing a true 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:02.359 crime podcast on Wondering where he actually interviews the guy 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.720 who's old now who actually did kidnap Frank Sinatra's son. 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:07.560 So he does a little bit everything. I mean, he 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.639 actually does drama, this comedy. He's a great musician. He's 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:14.359 a hard throb. You know, he's a great guy. Your words, 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:16.600 not mine. You called him my heart throb. I did. 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.000 I think my in laws and my husband are going 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.799 to listen to this. And I'm not saying anything. He 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.120 should have seen it. He faced on Greek Easter. He 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.919 FaceTime my family. Oh my gosh, he did a big 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:30.200 favorite and like, it's funny. All my wife is half 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:34.840 Greek too, so all her cousins and her mother and 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:39.280 everyone dressed up for the John Stamos FaceTime. They all 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.720 had makeup on. I think they actually went and got 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.720 their hair done. And people they were watch the event, 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:46.760 what's the event, and they were like, it's a John 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:50.920 Stamos FaceTime. Oh my gosh, Okay, that's pretty funny. I'll 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.440 be a little embarrassed if I put on actual pants 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.880 for this one instead of my usual swept that I 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:59.760 usually do the podcast in. But I cannot wait for 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:04.400 this interview John Stamos as an actor, producer, musician, philanthropist, 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.560 husband and father.

I was going 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:28.960 to say, for the first time ever, I think I 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:32.000 have the third best hair in this show. That hasn't 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.600 not happened. Yeah, No, Greeks, we have good genes. That's 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:39.000 the thing. We put olive oil on everything. That's the secret. 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:42.280 That's the secret. I bathed in the Greek yogurt and 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:47.159 I drink Rob Low's blood, So that's been helpful. Keeps 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:49.520 you young. That keeps you young. From what I understand, 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:51.560 I can't wait to do this podcast with you. And 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.280 I know it's a sports show, and maybe you know 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.680 that I know very, very rarely little about sports. My 0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.000 one of my best friends, Roger Lodge, is a huge 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:00.920 fan of your dad's. I think he's been on the 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:03.159 show and he just went on and on about your 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:06.120 dad and your grandfather's a favoue sports guy, right, and 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.280 he said, you were very nice person. He's I think 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.320 he watched one of your things. But I'm very happy 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.520 to be on here. And I joke with Johnny's he 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:15.080 is one of the most I'm not this no bullshit here. 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:17.920 I just got I've sort of discovered him about six 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.320 months ago. Maybe I don't know why he missed my radar, 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.440 but I watched this guy. Go Who is this guy? 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.039 He's the funniest guy I've ever He's like a Greek 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.280 Robin Williams. And I mean that the sense that he's 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:31.840 harrier than Robin, not funnier. But I just love him. 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:33.839 I we become friends and we're you know, we have 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:35.680 a Greek thing, and I'm grateful that I get to 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.520 be on his first episode. But hopefully you'll do most 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.200 of the talking. Olivia, Well, I knew you weren't much 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.560 of a sports guy when before we started taping. I 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:45.719 said I had interviewed the Greek freak and that was 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.320 easier than getting us all on this zoom And you said, 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:50.920 who's the Greek freak? Tell me you know who that is. 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:56.400 I'm not making jokes. I honestly don't. Is um uh, 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.039 who is it is?

I was curious, with all 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.720 you've accomplished in four decades in the industry, do you 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.840 get sick of like the heartthrob title? Because I tell 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.200 you what, just telling my girlfriends and even women in 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:49.360 their sixties that you were coming on the show today, 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:56.040 they become googly eyed teenagers. Not one bit. My whole life, 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:57.800 I remember, I mean, up until the campaign, I was like, 0:07:57.880 --> 0:07:59.600 I want to be famous. I didn't. I wanted to 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:01.240 be famous for all the wrong reasons. I wanted to 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:04.360 get girls, I wanted to sign autographs. I wanted you know. Later, 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.560 I I you know, developed a love for the for 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:08.960 the art, but I wanted to be famous. And everybody, Oh, 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:13.320 don't you hate being famous? Nope, you know it's as 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:16.080 good as everyone thinks if you handle it right. If 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:18.240 you keep your head on unlike you know, the other 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:19.800 Greek on this thing, but if you keep a level 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.280 headed you know, thinking about my father was great, and 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:24.480 and jannest and I always talk about our dads who 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.240 were both passed away. And they're having an affair at Heaven. 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:29.320 I heard, and they're in the Greek town in Heaven. 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:31.560 There's a there's a Greek down for them. Yeah. My 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.200 dad kept me humble, you know. He really A friend 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:36.120 of mine recently said it was so funny. He said, 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:37.480 you know, I was talking to your dad wants and 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:39.839 I said, to your guy, said, man, now Johnny's famous, 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.560 he could get any girl he wants. And my dad said, well, 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:45.520 not any girl. Always it was always that. It was 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.920 always just that, you know, I'd come home from doing 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:50.880 a car show or doing something, you know, where I 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:52.640 had thousands of people screaming, and he said, and I 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.040 lived at home and tell he was about He said, Hey, 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:56.880 how'd it go? Great? Go clean the dog poop in 0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:00.440 the backyard. And I haven't had my whole career, but 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:02.600 I think trying to keep a level of humilities has 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:04.599 been good about it is the best part about it. 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.040 Or you said, what's the good thing about fan that's 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:08.640 there's a lot of good. But you gotta keep it, 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.000 you know, cool, cut me off any time? You honest, 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:13.280 You're no, Yeah, I was no. I was letting you go. 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.000 I was letting you go. I was letting you guy. 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:16.920 I thought you were about to start a Shakespeare monologue 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.280 and I wanted to hear it. Right. Have you guys 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.679 watched the show, Olivia? Idea? Have you seen any other 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:22.880 of the show. That's what I was about to say 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:25.520 to Olivia. Funny story, So John, he told he sent 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:27.800 me the link for the show and the only reason 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:29.680 I watched it at the beginning of because it was 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:32.200 a free Disney Plus password. So I was like, cool, 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.480 I get Disney Plus for free. But I lie to 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.640 you not. I watched the show and I got I 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.040 got hooked on it. I got hooked on it, and 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:43.560 I'm almost done. I'm not done yet. I've watched about 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:46.880 six episodes. Your daughter has moved in with you. John 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:50.920 plays Marvin Corne, who's sort of like a Bobby Night 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:55.440 type who comes in as a disgrace Division one basketball coach. 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:59.120 Because and if I got if I remember the scene correctly, 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:02.120 which I was surprised by you threw a chair and 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.160 hit hit the person in the face with the chair, 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:07.920 which is very not Disney. So I was surprised. I 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:10.080 hit him in the back, I think. But but that 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:11.680 got me kicked out of the n C Double A 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.079 and I I go to the only job I could get, 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.400 really is too is coaching an all girls private high 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:20.240 school and Laguna, which is a bougie neighborhood over here. Yeah, 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:24.520 so he plays his coach very Bobby Night, like very stubborn, 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:28.200 you know, hard nosed, and he comes in and he 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:31.600 teaches these girls how to win. The most surprising thing 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.520 about it is how much I believe that you knew 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.400 something about basketball. And then I talked to you and yeah, 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:39.280 you told me how many field goals does it take 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:41.520 to win a basketball game? Well, I thought I was 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.040 talking to my wife. Did you have you seen Have 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.240 you got a chance to see it? I have not, 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:49.040 but it is on deck on my Disney. Plus, we're 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.200 getting new TVs and I tell you what, getting all 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:53.560 the apps downloaded, and you saw just how we were 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.040 trying to get on Zoom. That's the hardest part. And 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:58.640 you know what I like Disney strategy. You put John 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:01.640 Staymos in a bass football movie. What better way to 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:06.240 attract more female fans to basketball than throwing stay Mos 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:11.400 into a basketball drama? Right? You know, we shot we 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.240 did the pilot for this almost two years ago, and 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:16.480 you know, little did we know that, you know, when 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:19.440 it was going to be released that women's basketball would 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:22.880 be in the headlines about inequality, which was terrible, and 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.600 you know, you know, men versus women and pay and 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.360 also the pandemic. I mean, who knew that, you know, 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:30.880 people would need an optimistic, positive show like this at all. 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.920 Finding was good. It's turned out to be a really 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.880 special show. And I didn't I just said it seems 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.040 like a good gig. And I love David Kelly. When 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.120 they called me, they said, um so, I said, hey, 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:43.160 you're're gonna get an offer on the new David Kelly Show. 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:45.240 I said, oh my god, David Kelly, you know, is 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:46.960 it the new You know he was doing big little 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:50.400 lies at the time. Okay, I knew any of that name. Yeah, 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:52.640 he's a very very prolific, maybe one of the greatest 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:54.600 genius writers. I mean he was big in the old 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.160 days with Ally mcbield and Practice and all those shows. 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:00.360 But he lately has done big little lies. What's the 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:01.880 long with Hugh Grant? Who you Grant? There was just 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:07.040 on oh the undoing, Yes, that's dark. Thank you for 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.520 saving me on that. I don't know one Hugh Grant movie. 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.440 So I was like, yes, I'm in, i'man what's it about? 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:16.120 And they said basketball was Oh. No, those of you 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:18.760 out there that don't know me. God has been very 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.320 gave me a lot of really nice attributes and gifts. 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:23.960 Athleticism was not one of them. I was a band 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.280 geek in school. I'm a band geek now. My dad 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:29.439 was into sports. I didn't understand it, so it was 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.760 a big challenge and I make jokes about it, but 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.160 I really did work hard to kind of because out 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:36.240 of respect. First of all, if I in the very 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.800 first scene, if you watch, I'm coaching a college team 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:40.360 and that's when I throw the chair, as Johnny said. 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:42.280 But if I didn't pull that scene off, then we 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:44.160 have no show with no serious and it was I 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:47.760 was really nervous about playing. It just was not in 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.480 my d NA. Yeah, how how do you prepare? Who 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:53.000 do you look at? Well? I watched a lot tape 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.200 and I loved this Bobby Night. Boy, what a character. 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.440 You make him sound like he's just someone like you 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:00.840 just found. Like you know, he's one the most famous 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.920 coaches in any sport of all time. I do, But 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:08.680 I just found him, this Bobby Night. Yeah, he's um. 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:12.280 He was really not only obviously I realized what a 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:14.439 great coach he was, but man, that guy has an 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.040 incredible says of humor, doesn't I'm sure you maybe does 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.720 your dad know him? Or my dad would I I've 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:22.439 got in the business after he retired. Yeah, I watched 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:24.560 a lot of his tapes. I've read a lot of books. John, 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:26.439 wouldn't you know? I quote in there quite a bit. 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:28.480 And freend of mine said, well, you know, I know 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:30.920 Jerry West. Maybe I could hook you guys up. And 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:34.559 I said, who oh god, No, No, I didn't know 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:36.959 him to be honest with. And he's the logo, he's 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:40.120 the NBA logo. I learned that and my my friend 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:42.760 and I talked about earlier Roger Lodge. He's a huge, 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:44.720 you know, sports fan. He knows everything. So I took 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:46.920 him thankfully. But I went up to the place and 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:49.000 I say, hey, Mr West, thank you for letting me 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:50.840 come to the rehearsal. Today's First of all, it's not 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:56.240 called rehearsal. Yeah, I'm not kidding you. Those aren't costumes. 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.320 You know, those are outfit But I spent the day 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:02.680 there and really not skuy Lauren. It was Clippers practice, 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:04.920 and I thought, since I'm playing a college coach, that 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:10.000 the Clippers were a college team. They're not. Do you 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:11.880 live in l A. You could have gone to usc 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.160 U C l A. You could have done anywhere. Well 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:16.160 I did. I ended up going around and stuff. But 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.120 Jerry West was so kind and great and I can 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.240 talked to him quite a bit and he I think 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.320 we sent it to you. He was on some talk 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.680 shows recently was talking about me. If you have that clip, 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:27.120 you can put it in later. But um, he said, 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:30.680 I was believable. You were very believable. It was actually 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:34.280 very shocking. Did they approach you because of the full 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:37.040 house episode? I think it was called what was it? 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:39.800 Air Jesse where you learned how to play basketball and 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:42.880 Kareem abdul Jabbar teaches you your sweet spot and you 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:47.120 hit the game winner. Funny episode, very unrealistic, but funny, 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:49.480 unrealistic account. No whay you hit that shot? There's no 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:51.800 where you hit that shot? That was my sweet spot, 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:53.840 wasn't it? How was your sweet spot? Yeah? Right in 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.880 the sweet spot. Did you did you see that? Did 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.000 you watch the Full House? I watched every episode of 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:02.760 Full House. I'm in nineties kid, Yeah, I'm I was terrible, 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:04.640 and I said, let's just make Jesse terrible, and then 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.320 I did. I had to play basketball on e Er terrible, 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:09.600 and I had to do it on something else like bad, 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:12.800 like I bad. So I actually had an easier time 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:17.760 memorizing medical lingo than than the sports stuff. And I've 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:20.280 heard a lot of doctor shows they just ad lib 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.680 some of the medical lingo. Is that too? I don't 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:25.200 think it doesn't have to be accurate. E Er was 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.840 very very specific. We had doctors on the set saying 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:31.760 hold the needle this way. You know. We had some 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.040 good technical I mean I had one of the couple 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:37.120 of the writers were basketball players and coaches. I had 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:39.920 this Roger Lodge with me all the time. There was 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:43.320 another a girl with her with us who worked with 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:46.040 with our girls. He snowed in her name is She 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.560 was I think a college player. So we tried to 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:50.920 keep it as legit as possible. I really worked hard 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:52.840 on all of I made sure that the dialect Nannie 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:55.560 was just saying he up one of the scenes, and 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:58.280 I just I had a bunch of coaches on Speed Dubb, 0:15:58.280 --> 0:15:59.960 but mainly Roger Lodge helped me with a lot of it. 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:03.320 I'm looking forward to watching with my husband because anytime 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:06.440 we watch a basketball movie he cringes because he's like, 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:08.880 they're so awkward. A practice would never look like this, 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:12.120 sound like this, you know everything. So when I watched 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:14.400 with him tonight, which we will get the app downloaded, 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:16.720 I'll be sure to let you know if he gives 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.240 his approval, because I think you just need an actual 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:22.960 player to say yeah, I believe it. Well, is Jerry 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:26.640 West an actual player? Sure is? Yeah? Yeah he was. 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:29.120 It was quite a good one. What Jerry responded to, 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.480 which which was what I hoped he would, was that 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:34.560 it's not about I mean, yes, I gotta be a 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:36.760 good coach and I have to tell them the right things, obviously, 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:40.160 but his mentality was right, you know. Jerry said that 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:43.040 the same thing for girls and boys like you know, 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:45.400 although my character gets in trouble because I come in 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:47.920 right off, you know, being a college coach, and I 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:50.160 fat shame the girls and I say all the wrong things, 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:53.160 but that doesn't sound very Disney either. That's why when 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:55.040 you when you watch the show is a little surprising 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:57.320 because it's a you know, I was like, oh, it's 0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:59.160 gonna be a typical Disney show, but it's like, it's 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:02.120 a really good ory. It has some of the you know, 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:04.160 some of the issues that are currently in the Zeke 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:07.480 guys are in the show, and that being one of them. 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:10.080 Like he comes in and he yells at them, and 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:13.120 they're they're like very sensitive, like you know gen z is, 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:16.400 and so they have to find common ground. Yeah, and 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:19.320 you know, it's interesting. I can't remember the woman's name, 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:21.880 and my press ages begs me not to say anything 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:24.320 about it. But early on before the show came out, 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.119 there was an article in I believe the Chicago Times 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:29.640 just hammering us. She hadn't seen the show, She hadn't 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:31.679 seen the promo. She hasn't you know, Oh yeah, this 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:33.679 man fall from Grace and he's got to go in 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:36.439 and you know, you know, he teaches the girls, remember, 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:39.160 but you know, and it was none of that right, 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:43.000 and it was upsetting because she hadn't seen the show 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:45.080 and she really sort of bashed. It was the first thing, 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:46.920 and the girls were so upset and said, let's just 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:48.639 this way. And then when it came out, it was 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:52.560 glowing reviews and the opposite of what this person had said, 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:56.240 which was I learned more from them. I'm a flawed guy. 0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:58.520 He's a guy who doesn't you know, he doesn't know 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:00.919 how to communicate, he doesn't know how to be. He 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:04.160 isn't friends. He sees the girls his exs and ohs, 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:06.040 he says. And then of course, you know, by the 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:08.600 end of the of the series, by the end of 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:11.280 the second or third episode, you see the guy coming 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:13.440 around and he cares more about the girls and their 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:16.720 personalities and their lives than he does about basketball. That's 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:19.000 a great story. I can't wait to watch. It's gonna 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:21.160 be really good. I gotta bring you back for a second. 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:23.840 You mentioned the cream at Build Jabar episode of Full House, 0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:26.320 and then I can't believe you asked me if I 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:28.439 had watched the Full House. I just don't think anyone 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:31.239 didn't my favorite episode. I'm dying to know what your 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:34.520 favorite episode to film. Maybe there's a funny behind the 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:37.480 scenes story or something that we don't know. My favorite 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:40.119 episode is the Disney World episode. I think that's a 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:42.760 lot of people's favorites. Oh yeah, that's funny, because I 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:45.320 was I was almost gonna I was gonna make some jokes, 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:47.359 but then I was gonna be seriously. But what was 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:49.760 beautiful about that was that I got to bring my 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:51.560 whole family to Disney World. It was the last time 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:54.439 my dad died. After that, my mom was pasted. It 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:56.879 was this, you know, this great moment of having you know, 0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:58.560 my whole family at a at a Disney park. My 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:00.919 dad didn't love you know, parks that much. I'm sure. 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:02.800 I don't know how you're death. No, yeah, it's it's 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:05.400 that's more of a young guys game, young young kids game. 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:07.800 I get. It's like, it's get nauxious. I tried to 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:09.880 go back to Great Adventure as an adult, and it's 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:12.600 just not the same. It's like hot, sticky. Yeah, yeah, 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:16.040 just not. I'm liking that. Yeah, I don't want to 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:18.720 be scared. I had, you know, we had a good 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:22.040 time with everybody. I spent many years trying to get 0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:25.360 away from that show, with that character, and then I 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:28.680 just gave up after a while because it wasn't going away. 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:30.320 And then I embraced it because I know that it 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:32.160 was important to a lot of people, and it meant 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:36.480 a lot, and it provided a great life, a great life, 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:37.919 a great life for my family, got to, you know, 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:40.240 bring my family around, and it gave me fame, which 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:42.720 I was trying to get, obviously, I told you, but 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:47.080 it took me a while to gain a little, you know, legitimacy. 0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:49.000 I sort of gave up on trying to get it 0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:51.520 because you you look desperate if you do, you know, 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:53.639 Yanny said, they did. They wrote this article and the 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:56.359 calendar section last week, and yeah, I can't believe, like 0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:58.719 I've been waiting for this my whole career, but I 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:01.760 did give up. I like fifth Broadway show or six, 0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:05.280 and I was working with James Jones, hands down one 0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:08.960 of the greatest living actors of all time, and I'm 0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:11.479 on stage with him for three hours and it was moving. 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:13.720 It was a gorvy it all play called Best Man. Yeah, 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:16.160 standing ovations, I think, And I walked out to Cinna 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:19.919 autographs Uncle Dance, They like, you know, what what am 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:22.920 I gonna do? So I just became grateful for that 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:25.680 and everything in my life, and I think I don't 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:28.840 think i'd be where I am now. This show big shot. 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:31.280 When you see it, it's I think there's enough of 0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:33.040 what you would like about me, but it's a very 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:36.320 different character. Absolutely, And that article, I think really nailed it. 0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:38.520 And you're welcome. You know. I had that article written. 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:40.440 I worked through my public just to get that done. 0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:43.360 That was my little thank you to you for doing 0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:45.240 this show. I said, you know what, let me contact 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:47.480 a few of my contacts. We're gonna do a little 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:49.720 We're gonna do a flattering article in the l A 0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:52.920 Times for my boy John Stamo's Dade Greeks do stick 0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:57.159 together with the Greeks, watch each other's back. And the article, 0:20:57.280 --> 0:21:01.879 what I love was the he coined terms Stamos sassans 0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:04.080 like I'm saying it wrong, but a renaissance. But what 0:21:04.160 --> 0:21:07.720 you're stamossans. It was like a Stamo sans so saying 0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:11.639 that he's he's he's experiencing a Stamo soans, like a 0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:14.520 renaissance to come back. This is gonna be his time. 0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:18.639 This show is a show that really showcases his acting 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:21.960 ability outside of that character. Obviously, and you've done other stuff. 0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:25.680 I mean, you did Broadway, You've done that one show 0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:28.639 where you impregnated about five women. I think it was 0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:32.760 special special that was the most realistic, that was the 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:36.200 most true to your real life, that was more autobiographical 0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:38.880 than anything. There was an episode of Special Victims Unit 0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:41.240 where you had impregnated about a hundred women and they 0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:42.679 got you in the room at the end and they 0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:46.440 were all there and you didn't care because underneath it 0:21:46.520 --> 0:21:52.919 all Johnny Stamos, I'm trying to I'm remembering the podcast, 0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:55.639 and I was say, you hitdn't quit it. But you 0:21:55.680 --> 0:21:58.520 know that's not that's that's not the right podcast for 0:21:58.520 --> 0:22:01.160 the right And see that one it was I played 0:22:01.160 --> 0:22:04.320 this what do we call them, like uh, serial abusers 0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:06.600 that he had like like he said, I had, like, 0:22:06.680 --> 0:22:09.040 you know, a couple hundred kids in the States alone, 0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:11.400 and they said, well, you didn't check out Europe. He 0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:14.560 was so ecosistent. He wanted to spread his progeny and 0:22:14.760 --> 0:22:16.800 but I had money and I was taking care of 0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:18.520 the family. But I wasn't there for these kids. And 0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:20.720 then so that's what he's talking about, and I don't 0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:24.280 appreciate that. Hey, speaking of which, though in real life, 0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:28.480 you have a little boy Billy's heat what tore three 0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:31.280 years old? Oh my gosh, what's being a father of 0:22:31.280 --> 0:22:34.960 a three year old? Like? Do you have kids? No, Liby, 0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:36.160 how did you? I will go back to the dep 0:22:36.160 --> 0:22:37.720 but I want to ask you a few questions because Johnny, 0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:40.160 you know, taking too much of his time. How did 0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:43.919 you start your savant with sports knowledge and all that stuff? Right? 0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:47.080 I've been told, well, it sounds like my publicists maybe 0:22:47.160 --> 0:22:49.440 talked with your publicists, but my publicist didn't have the 0:22:49.560 --> 0:22:51.840 l A Times number. So that's as far as that 0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:56.160 one got started in sports. Grew up in sports family, right, 0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:59.119 And then this opportunity presented itself. I thought, well, you know, 0:22:59.240 --> 0:23:02.600 everyone's got a podcast. I don't need one. But then 0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:04.679 they said, well John Stamiles may come on one day, 0:23:04.680 --> 0:23:06.480 and I said, okay, yeah, let's do it. That's a 0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:08.760 good reason. And she's so funny. You don't need him. 0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:12.639 By the way, you're actually you're our first non sports guest, 0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:15.440 which I'm really excited about. We've had a lot of 0:23:15.480 --> 0:23:19.199 athletes on here. I play one on TV, right, But 0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:21.240 you're very good and I watched some of your a 0:23:21.280 --> 0:23:24.880 couple of things we're with people, and you're fantastic. Thank you. 0:23:25.320 --> 0:23:27.000 Do you want to be like your father announced you 0:23:27.119 --> 0:23:29.280 want to be a journalist. You want to what's your 0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:31.760 the goal? Yeah, that's that's very nice for you to say. 0:23:31.760 --> 0:23:33.639 Thank you. I think just growing up, you know, with 0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:36.040 the dad in it, taking me to games all the time. 0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:38.480 I just I grew up at a football field. I 0:23:38.520 --> 0:23:40.879 grew up on a basketball court. I just and and 0:23:40.920 --> 0:23:42.840 like you, we have this in common. I don't have 0:23:42.880 --> 0:23:45.399 an athletic bone in my body, but I thought, I 0:23:45.480 --> 0:23:48.080 want to be around it. I want to be in 0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:50.320 the front row. So I'm gonna learn how to talk 0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:52.199 about it. Why did you want to be around you 0:23:52.320 --> 0:23:54.399 liked it? Yeah, you know, I think it's probably the 0:23:54.440 --> 0:23:56.399 way you feel, you know, when that red light on 0:23:56.440 --> 0:23:58.920 the camera comes on. I have that too as a 0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:01.320 sideline reporter. So when I'm on the field and I 0:24:01.359 --> 0:24:03.800 get my first you know, thirty seconds and that red 0:24:03.880 --> 0:24:06.000 light on the camera comes on, That's when I feel 0:24:06.440 --> 0:24:09.720 most alive. Do you feel like that? Yes? Yeah, exactly. 0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:13.600 Is your dad proud of you? Yeah? Right? Yeah? And 0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:17.240 my friend said that your dad does like you just said, basketball, football, 0:24:17.440 --> 0:24:20.960 That like how versatile, right, most guys do one sport? Yeah, well, 0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:24.120 my dad does football and basketball, so I do football, basketball, 0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:26.760 I do some tennis. You know. You know, I'm kind 0:24:26.800 --> 0:24:30.399 of a sellout. I'll do whatever pays. You know. It's 0:24:30.480 --> 0:24:33.720 kind of like my Greek yogurt commercial equivalent. It's it's 0:24:33.800 --> 0:24:40.160 just really whatever is there? Did you write for her? Yeah? 0:24:40.200 --> 0:24:42.320 I mean that what I mean that was coming up next? 0:24:42.359 --> 0:24:44.200 I mean you do you have a baby camera in 0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:49.879 my studio?

It was time to But now you 0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:49.800 have this precious gift of Billy. And are you just 0:26:49.880 --> 0:26:52.800 running all over the place. Yes, he's has a lot 0:26:52.840 --> 0:26:55.240 of energy. And I'm not even making a joke here. 0:26:55.320 --> 0:26:58.159 I I'm heartbroken because I think he's going to be 0:26:58.240 --> 0:27:01.840 an athlete. He's throws them all, it does the stuff. 0:27:01.960 --> 0:27:03.280 I'm like, what am I? What am I gonna do? 0:27:03.960 --> 0:27:08.080 I just I didn't I could grounders, I could catch maybe, 0:27:08.080 --> 0:27:10.320 but I didn't want balls flying up my face. That 0:27:10.440 --> 0:27:15.280 no jokes. You already did that. Money you don't need, 0:27:15.880 --> 0:27:20.240 you don't need good. So, yeah, I was. My dad 0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:23.960 was played sports and he was an athlete right the 0:27:24.000 --> 0:27:27.359 gymnastic team and he was football. And he really wanted 0:27:27.359 --> 0:27:30.159 me to, you know, play sports, and I couldn't. He 0:27:30.160 --> 0:27:33.200 was embarrassed, but I tried, and so later on in life, 0:27:33.200 --> 0:27:35.160 he played a lot of golf and I wanted to 0:27:35.200 --> 0:27:36.800 spend time with my dad I said, I gotta learned 0:27:36.840 --> 0:27:38.920 through something. I took lessons because I love my dad. 0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:41.240 He was my hero, and I took lessons and I 0:27:41.280 --> 0:27:44.000 wanted to be around him, and so I was. I said, ready, dad. 0:27:44.280 --> 0:27:46.560 So we went out and it was like, I think, 0:27:46.640 --> 0:27:48.760 if you were over ninety or a hundred, you got 0:27:48.840 --> 0:27:50.080 in free that day because it was a lot of 0:27:50.200 --> 0:27:53.240 older women mainly. And I got up and I put 0:27:53.280 --> 0:27:55.480 the ball. I'm thinking about a lock of my wrists 0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:57.520 and I'm doing the whole thing, and uh, I hit 0:27:57.600 --> 0:28:00.359 it and it's slice. I sliced the ball and it 0:28:00.480 --> 0:28:03.200 flies by this nine year old woman's temple by like 0:28:03.320 --> 0:28:06.720 a thin quarter of an inch. And I could have 0:28:06.880 --> 0:28:09.000 I could have killed her. And my dad's put the 0:28:09.000 --> 0:28:12.399 clubs down, let's go home now. And then it was 0:28:12.520 --> 0:28:14.760 terrible and I was like, oh my god, I could have. 0:28:15.040 --> 0:28:16.600 I would have been like, hey, isn't it hey, that's 0:28:16.640 --> 0:28:19.040 john Stan. Didn't he kill a woman on a golf course. 0:28:19.560 --> 0:28:22.160 When you hit a year old woman with a golf ball, 0:28:22.320 --> 0:28:26.320 it's not just you killed her, right, it's a little 0:28:26.359 --> 0:28:29.920 bit of both. Well, No, I think that would have 0:28:30.040 --> 0:28:32.879 just met you. She's out golf and she's doing all right, 0:28:33.119 --> 0:28:35.719 she's doing he's doing all right. But you know it's 0:28:35.760 --> 0:28:38.720 a little there's a lot of elements involved. My dad 0:28:38.760 --> 0:28:41.920 also when he he would hit and you know if 0:28:41.960 --> 0:28:45.160 it's do you guys play golf? Yeah, so it pops 0:28:45.200 --> 0:28:46.920 it up and he would and he would always say 0:28:46.960 --> 0:28:49.280 something to make the ball, you know, get down, and 0:28:49.440 --> 0:28:51.520 that day he hits it, he goes, sit down, bitch 0:28:52.560 --> 0:29:02.360 women and the old ladies. Very passionate about his sports. 0:29:02.960 --> 0:29:05.880 His best friend was U. C.

Someone always has to lose. I 0:29:16.160 --> 0:29:18.880 don't like that you were a natural musician. Was that 0:29:19.000 --> 0:29:20.880 something that came natural to you?

Yeah, 0:29:33.880 --> 0:29:36.280 I grew up idolizing the beach Who's your favorite group? 0:29:37.680 --> 0:29:43.000 Does straight count as a group? Sure? My favorite music 0:29:43.200 --> 0:29:48.160 is like N thirties sporties jazz. That's what I like, Sinatra. 0:29:48.240 --> 0:29:50.480 Did you like the rap Pack? Yeah?

Well, but I wanted to tell 0:29:55.520 --> 0:29:57.760 you about the Beach Boys. Yeah, we're playing on the 0:29:57.760 --> 0:29:59.080 four I don't know when it's theirs, but we're doing 0:29:59.120 --> 0:30:02.840 the fourth of July in Fort Lauderdale. The first time 0:30:02.880 --> 0:30:05.160 I played with the Beach Boys, well, the very first time. 0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:07.600 They were playing in San Diego. It's the Padre Stadium, right, 0:30:09.280 --> 0:30:11.560 and I was on General Hospital at the time, and 0:30:12.280 --> 0:30:14.440 my best friend is playing guitar with them, and I'm 0:30:14.440 --> 0:30:16.280 watching the show as I couldn't believe that I was back, 0:30:16.320 --> 0:30:18.240 you know, on the field and everything. And the show 0:30:18.440 --> 0:30:20.640 ends and I go before the encore and I go 0:30:20.760 --> 0:30:23.760 backstage and all these girls and cheerleaders are screaming, and 0:30:23.760 --> 0:30:25.760 they chased me into the dressing room. Was eight nineteen 0:30:26.040 --> 0:30:28.480 and Mike Love, with the lead singer, turns to my friends, said, 0:30:28.480 --> 0:30:32.600 who's that friend, John Salmons. He's on the show General Hospital. 0:30:32.960 --> 0:30:35.880 And my Love says, uh, the girls always falling around 0:30:35.920 --> 0:30:37.959 the scream and he said yeah. He goes get him 0:30:38.000 --> 0:30:41.400 on stage, and that was so I played an encore 0:30:41.560 --> 0:30:43.560 the Barbaran, and then I just continued. But in the 0:30:43.680 --> 0:30:46.200 next gig, the next big one was in Washington, d C. 0:30:46.400 --> 0:30:48.840 It was a four. You know, I'm never going to 0:30:48.880 --> 0:30:50.160 write a book, but if I did, it would be 0:30:50.200 --> 0:30:51.440 like if you would have told me when I was 0:30:51.480 --> 0:30:54.720 a kid that I'd be on a podcast with Olivian 0:30:55.040 --> 0:30:57.360 and and the Greek, I'd be like, no, I never 0:30:57.400 --> 0:30:59.640 would have believed it. The girls on Big Shot, did 0:30:59.680 --> 0:31:04.120 they because they're too young to know Full House? So no, 0:31:04.960 --> 0:31:07.920 I think they know they know it from reruns or 0:31:08.560 --> 0:31:11.120 how familiar. Yeah, the show has been you know there's 0:31:11.160 --> 0:31:13.360 a new Full House fan born like every four years, right, 0:31:13.400 --> 0:31:16.800 I mean didn't see it when it was originally on. No, 0:31:17.040 --> 0:31:19.920 like late nineties is when I caught on. That was 0:31:19.960 --> 0:31:23.640 probably when runs then too. What are you seventy two 0:31:23.680 --> 0:31:27.280 this month? Like I said, olive oil keeps us looking 0:31:27.320 --> 0:31:29.840 young that and like you said, a dren of chrome. 0:31:30.240 --> 0:31:33.200 The girls on the show, they acted like they weren't 0:31:33.240 --> 0:31:35.160 that it wasn't that big a deal. But you know, 0:31:35.280 --> 0:31:41.800 as the as they were acting, they didn't know it. 0:31:41.960 --> 0:31:46.280 Funny too, they could have been going to that Janice Papas, Yeah, 0:31:46.680 --> 0:31:49.000 I mean, you know, it's crazy though, John is like 0:31:49.600 --> 0:31:51.640 I think for Full House fans who then grew up 0:31:51.640 --> 0:31:54.280 in the nineties early two thousand's, like there was no 0:31:54.360 --> 0:31:56.360 one more famous in the world than Mary kay Nashley. 0:31:56.520 --> 0:31:59.240 Like we dressed like them, looked like them, bought everything, 0:31:59.320 --> 0:32:02.680 they made war everything. These girls like Mary Kaye n 0:32:02.680 --> 0:32:08.280 Ashley did them is no one two kids like yeah, right, 0:32:08.400 --> 0:32:10.280 I guess so yeah, I mean, but look at how 0:32:10.320 --> 0:32:12.720 well they you know, I like, you know, we make jokes. 0:32:12.760 --> 0:32:15.880 But who knew that they would be this empire? They 0:32:15.920 --> 0:32:18.080 owned you in New York? Where are you at you 0:32:18.520 --> 0:32:20.560 I'm in New York. Yeah, they owned New York. They 0:32:20.920 --> 0:32:24.520 owned this building. Yeah, they owned this build. They do well, 0:32:24.560 --> 0:32:27.840 they're the girls. One of the things, you know, if 0:32:27.880 --> 0:32:31.200 you watch this, if you're done your homework, you would 0:32:31.360 --> 0:32:33.760 see that. I don't you know, it takes a while 0:32:33.840 --> 0:32:36.240 to connect with these, She asked. People were interviewing Roblow, 0:32:36.840 --> 0:32:40.680 so uh defense, she just thought it was the wrong heartthrob, 0:32:40.760 --> 0:32:45.520 I apologize, Well, he does his own makeup, I hear. 0:32:47.920 --> 0:32:52.760 And we're friends with friends, Yeah, yeah we are. So 0:32:52.960 --> 0:32:54.520 I was gonna say that so the girls and I 0:32:54.640 --> 0:32:58.320 didn't have it was written that we really Askedhole in 0:32:58.320 --> 0:33:00.760 the beginning of this thing anyway sward towards the end 0:33:00.800 --> 0:33:03.240 to I mean, he's a very stubborn guy who you know, 0:33:03.560 --> 0:33:05.560 has a specific way of doing things and it's worked 0:33:05.600 --> 0:33:07.880 for him, but it's not working anymore clearly. I mean, 0:33:07.960 --> 0:33:10.520 he this third episode, my daughter comes to live with me, 0:33:10.560 --> 0:33:12.719 and I've been, you know, not the greatest. I've been 0:33:12.760 --> 0:33:15.040 an absent because I said I was my career I had. 0:33:15.400 --> 0:33:16.840 This guy is a real it was a really really 0:33:16.920 --> 0:33:19.120 great coach, and that was tough too, because I really 0:33:19.160 --> 0:33:21.240 wanted to like, well, what makes it not just a 0:33:21.320 --> 0:33:24.280 coach but a legend? You know? You know, John Wooden 0:33:24.400 --> 0:33:26.840 was studying a lot of these guys, but we weren't 0:33:26.840 --> 0:33:29.440 connecting as characters. So I didn't even know the girl's 0:33:29.560 --> 0:33:32.440 names until the second or third episode, and I still 0:33:32.640 --> 0:33:34.440 don't even know most of them now. But that was 0:33:34.480 --> 0:33:36.320 really hard for me because you know, I do like 0:33:36.440 --> 0:33:38.880 to talk to people, want to make the crew and 0:33:39.320 --> 0:33:41.239 laugh and stuff, but I was really you know, if 0:33:41.240 --> 0:33:43.240 you you'll see it's a difference. Did you gain an 0:33:43.280 --> 0:33:46.440 appreciation for basketball at all? Going through the experience of 0:33:46.520 --> 0:33:49.680 hanging out with Jerry West studying and wouldn't no, not 0:33:49.840 --> 0:33:52.800 at all. I mean, I'm not being a jackass. I've 0:33:52.800 --> 0:33:58.560 always respected athletes, even more so now clearly you know remarkable, 0:33:58.680 --> 0:34:01.760 especially these pros, right and and your husband whatever? Is 0:34:01.800 --> 0:34:05.880 he a good player? Sam Decker's great. Yeah, they were great. 0:34:05.920 --> 0:34:08.440 They almost want a national championship. I was rooting for him, 0:34:08.760 --> 0:34:11.640 and he played for your Clippers for a year. If 0:34:11.680 --> 0:34:14.560 that's kind of your l a team Clippers. Where do 0:34:14.640 --> 0:34:16.560 you live? Where you where you? Where you at? We 0:34:16.640 --> 0:34:20.080 spent our summers in his hometown, Sheboygan, Wisconsin. It's a 0:34:20.120 --> 0:34:27.920 funny name. That's why you're funny, because you this. I 0:34:28.040 --> 0:34:29.800 do have a respect for them, and I used to go. 0:34:30.320 --> 0:34:31.759 I went a couple of times. I would go to 0:34:31.840 --> 0:34:34.880 the Lakers games with Gary Marshall took me a few times, 0:34:34.960 --> 0:34:37.480 and my friend says that they saw me sitting on 0:34:37.560 --> 0:34:39.440 the floor. They were so piste off because not only 0:34:39.719 --> 0:34:42.040 is it a waste on me, but you know on 0:34:42.239 --> 0:34:45.480 camera I'm like talking and the ordering food. Yeah, he said, 0:34:45.640 --> 0:34:47.080 even a kid, if they be happy if I was 0:34:47.120 --> 0:34:49.320 a kid, because he could grow up to be a 0:34:49.400 --> 0:34:51.880 sports fan. But they knew that I was never going 0:34:51.960 --> 0:34:54.719 to be And all the people listening are sports people, right, 0:34:54.760 --> 0:34:56.600 so they hate me. No, But I'm telling you when 0:34:56.640 --> 0:34:59.279 you when you watch the show, it really you do 0:34:59.400 --> 0:35:02.440 a great job acting like you are that coach with 0:35:02.560 --> 0:35:05.399 this winning pedigree. You're a good actor. John, I'm gonna 0:35:05.400 --> 0:35:08.160 be honest with you. Maybe your toughest role yet. Now 0:35:08.200 --> 0:35:10.359 I'm talking to you, this sounds like this was quite 0:35:10.400 --> 0:35:13.040 the challenge. Yeah, I mean impregnating the hundreds of women 0:35:13.080 --> 0:35:14.680 that was like, like I said, that was a piece 0:35:14.719 --> 0:35:18.600 of cake. I should show her a scene from this show. Yeah, 0:35:18.920 --> 0:35:21.239 you want to, I promise you I am going to 0:35:21.320 --> 0:35:23.239 be watching it. I was actually gonna ask kind of 0:35:23.280 --> 0:35:29.879 in that vein playing Uncle Jesse back, I will talk 0:35:29.880 --> 0:35:32.440 about the new show a lot. Go ahead. I just 0:35:32.560 --> 0:35:36.360 always kind of wondered because you off the show always 0:35:36.440 --> 0:35:38.279 kind of seemed like and maybe I just see you 0:35:38.360 --> 0:35:41.279 as Uncle Jesse. But was that art imitating life or 0:35:41.320 --> 0:35:43.440 life imitating art at any point? Like did you almost 0:35:43.520 --> 0:35:46.560 kind of merge with Uncle Jesse? Well, yeah, a little bit. 0:35:46.600 --> 0:35:49.120 I mean that's not a that's a good question. The 0:35:49.200 --> 0:35:51.600 creator was more of an Elvis fan than I was. 0:35:52.280 --> 0:35:55.520 I liked it. I his the character was original named 0:35:55.520 --> 0:35:57.919 Adam or something, and I came up with Jesse because 0:35:58.239 --> 0:36:01.000 that was Elvis's twin brother who died birth. And so 0:36:03.040 --> 0:36:06.920 but I'm not yes, I'm yeah, it kind of happened 0:36:06.960 --> 0:36:09.640 that way. But better is that this the new show. 0:36:10.120 --> 0:36:12.760 I really starting. At first, I got nothing in common 0:36:12.760 --> 0:36:15.040 with this guy, I don't think, you know. And I 0:36:15.239 --> 0:36:17.719 found that I do have more and more when he 0:36:17.880 --> 0:36:20.720 makes these you know this this first episode and again 0:36:20.800 --> 0:36:23.560 it's like, how many lockers scenes locker room speeches have 0:36:23.640 --> 0:36:25.239 you seen? And I watched every single one of them, 0:36:25.600 --> 0:36:27.600 and the one that was that was written was just 0:36:27.840 --> 0:36:30.200 wasn't it. And we did this table reading and David 0:36:30.320 --> 0:36:32.880 Kelly tursers, I'm gonna rewriter right or wherever I think 0:36:32.920 --> 0:36:35.640 he talks about that. And he wrote this speech that 0:36:35.880 --> 0:36:38.239 is so and it's not It's about doing your best 0:36:38.400 --> 0:36:40.600 and you know, and and getting up in the morning 0:36:40.640 --> 0:36:42.279 and can you look in the mirror and say I 0:36:42.320 --> 0:36:45.080 did my very best. You know, That's what it's and 0:36:45.160 --> 0:36:47.840 it's a really emotional. So those kind of things I 0:36:47.920 --> 0:36:50.400 really started. I thought, oh, I got this. Yes, I 0:36:50.440 --> 0:36:53.480 do my best every day, I you know, I I 0:36:53.560 --> 0:36:55.879 don't think I did. I didn't and I it really 0:36:55.920 --> 0:36:58.080 reached with me all the time. By the end of 0:36:58.200 --> 0:37:01.000 the last show, he's talks about being a father and 0:37:01.200 --> 0:37:03.800 again it's a very strange relationship with his daughter and 0:37:03.920 --> 0:37:06.120 he's trying to learn, he's trying to be better, and 0:37:06.200 --> 0:37:08.080 he takes one step forward, two steps back. It does 0:37:08.120 --> 0:37:09.360 not know how to do it. And at the end 0:37:09.400 --> 0:37:10.920 he says, I think I figured out it's I used 0:37:10.920 --> 0:37:13.400 to think it was about discipline and yell, we'll get this. 0:37:13.760 --> 0:37:15.960 I used to think it was about discipline, but it is, 0:37:16.080 --> 0:37:17.960 but not. I used to think it's about you know, 0:37:18.040 --> 0:37:20.360 spending time and one on one connection. It is, but 0:37:20.440 --> 0:37:22.200 that's nothing. And he comes to the point says, it's 0:37:22.200 --> 0:37:26.200 about sacrifice. It's about passing on your own needs and 0:37:26.239 --> 0:37:28.640 your own desires to for the betterment of your child 0:37:28.920 --> 0:37:30.120 and you. And at the end of the day, it's 0:37:30.120 --> 0:37:32.760 a lifetime commitment, which you'll see at some point, Libby, 0:37:32.760 --> 0:37:36.480 if the guy ever gets home from basketball. It's a 0:37:36.560 --> 0:37:39.239 lifetime commitment and you have to And he said, at 0:37:39.239 --> 0:37:40.760 the end of the day, you don't win a trophy, 0:37:41.160 --> 0:37:43.320 or you don't get a ring or a banner, but 0:37:43.440 --> 0:37:45.239 what you do get if you do it right, is 0:37:45.360 --> 0:37:49.719 you get a better, more loving, kinder, smarter version of 0:37:49.800 --> 0:37:52.080 yourself to put out there. So I thought that was 0:37:52.160 --> 0:37:55.239 very sweet. Well, that is incredible and that is going 0:37:55.320 --> 0:37:57.200 to suck everyone in and make him want to watch 0:37:57.320 --> 0:37:59.200 this show. The show is called Big Shot. I don't 0:37:59.200 --> 0:38:01.560 think we said it an. It airs on Disney Plus. 0:38:01.640 --> 0:38:04.399 It is out now. Everyone should go watch it. John. 0:38:04.480 --> 0:38:06.239 We have taken up so much of your time, but 0:38:06.320 --> 0:38:08.200 if you've got a couple more minutes, I learned to 0:38:08.239 --> 0:38:12.080 do a quick, quick hit question lightning round. Okay, but 0:38:12.320 --> 0:38:13.960 you know what I wanted to talk about the podcast 0:38:14.000 --> 0:38:16.160 really fast because I told yes, please go ahead. Yeah, 0:38:16.239 --> 0:38:19.080 he's got it. He's I heard the first episode. It's incredible. 0:38:19.120 --> 0:38:22.800 He got actually a podcast series coming out with the 0:38:22.880 --> 0:38:28.840 guy who tried to who actually successfully kidnapped Frank Sinatra Jr. 0:38:28.920 --> 0:38:31.600 Which is one of the craziest stories in American history. Yeah, 0:38:31.719 --> 0:38:33.680 and he interviews the guy who actually pulled it off. 0:38:33.800 --> 0:38:35.480 So tell us a little bit about that. Did you 0:38:35.560 --> 0:38:38.160 hear my phone ringing? Yeah? That was him following me 0:38:38.440 --> 0:38:40.640 in the in the in the six ninet I was 0:38:40.760 --> 0:38:44.640 really in nineties. This guy Barry Keenan was we do 0:38:44.760 --> 0:38:47.680 a beautiful job of showing him why he did it. 0:38:47.760 --> 0:38:49.239 I mean, by the end of the first episode, I 0:38:49.280 --> 0:38:51.879 think Jest will attest to this, you realized this guy 0:38:52.040 --> 0:38:55.560 was at his rock bottom. I mean, he with a 0:38:55.680 --> 0:38:59.040 mother who was was mentally ill, and he became, you know, 0:38:59.160 --> 0:39:02.400 he was eventually, you know, deemed mentally ill. Not too crazy, 0:39:02.480 --> 0:39:05.720 but just not straight. He had alcohol and drug issues. 0:39:05.800 --> 0:39:07.640 He lost all a very smart guy, lost all his 0:39:07.719 --> 0:39:10.960 money and he needed two d dollars to get his 0:39:11.560 --> 0:39:15.320 life back together and his parents and his thing. And 0:39:15.760 --> 0:39:19.280 he was on the bluff overlooking Catalan Island in Balboa Island, 0:39:19.719 --> 0:39:22.880 and God's voice came over the radio and said, kidnap somebody, 0:39:22.960 --> 0:39:25.280 and it can't be a kid, it can't be a woman. 0:39:25.920 --> 0:39:28.239 And he he was gonna do Bob Hope's son, but 0:39:28.400 --> 0:39:30.239 he thought, well that's too patriotic. I'm gonna go for 0:39:30.320 --> 0:39:36.080 Sinatra Jr. And it's the craziest, most complicated. It's like 0:39:36.239 --> 0:39:40.720 the It's like Cohen Brothers meets the Marx Brothers. It's fascinating. 0:39:41.120 --> 0:39:44.400 He ended up pulling it off, and Sinatra tried to 0:39:44.440 --> 0:39:46.760 kill him for fifty years. I mean, it's the story 0:39:46.960 --> 0:39:50.839 is outrageous and I've never no offense. But you throw 0:39:50.840 --> 0:39:52.440 a stick out the wind all hit six people with 0:39:52.480 --> 0:39:54.920 the podcast, like you said, but this is a little different. 0:39:54.960 --> 0:39:58.200 It's just me narrating the story of this guy, and um, 0:39:58.320 --> 0:40:02.480 it's on Wondering. Star comes July. I believe, oh I 0:40:02.560 --> 0:40:05.440 cannot wait for that that that that story will suck me. 0:40:05.520 --> 0:40:07.960 And that's in Wondering does such a good job. You know. 0:40:08.040 --> 0:40:10.279 What's what's cool about it is it's I've been working 0:40:10.320 --> 0:40:12.760 on the story and different versions of it for television, 0:40:13.080 --> 0:40:15.759 but the podcast came up during COVID and it was 0:40:15.800 --> 0:40:17.960 around Black Lives Matter, and I was like, the think 0:40:18.080 --> 0:40:20.920 that's good about this is that it's it has all 0:40:20.960 --> 0:40:23.359 the juicy, you know, twists and turns that you love 0:40:23.360 --> 0:40:28.040 about true crime, minus the serial killers, blood gore. It's fun. 0:40:28.239 --> 0:40:31.520 Nobody gets hurt, but nobody gets out alive. What's it 0:40:31.600 --> 0:40:36.680 called the Grand scheme, snatching Sinatra, the grant, the rent schemes, 0:40:36.680 --> 0:40:40.280 snatching Sinatra. I don't talk like that. You're good, You're ready, 0:40:40.640 --> 0:40:45.000 You're ready. I was very surprised at how my voice sounds, 0:40:45.040 --> 0:40:47.200 because I sort it's very different than acting if it's 0:40:47.239 --> 0:40:49.120 slowed down and I really tried to narrate it, and 0:40:49.520 --> 0:40:52.279 sometimes it sound like Casey Kayson. No, it's I heard 0:40:52.280 --> 0:40:54.600 the first episode. And I hate to compliment you again 0:40:54.640 --> 0:40:57.120 because you already have too much going on that's successful. 0:40:57.160 --> 0:41:00.640 But your voice is great. It's silky, it's smooth, and 0:41:00.920 --> 0:41:04.920 you build anticipation for you. I'm telling you, if I 0:41:05.040 --> 0:41:09.040 was John Stamos and the day comes in the very 0:41:09.120 --> 0:41:11.200 far future where you have to die, it's gonna be 0:41:11.320 --> 0:41:13.040 very difficult for you to even go to heaven because 0:41:13.080 --> 0:41:18.200 it's a downgrade for you. You're like, what do we come? 0:41:18.560 --> 0:41:21.200 I mean, can you imagine? I'm just saying, like John 0:41:21.239 --> 0:41:23.520 Stamos gets to the Pearly Gates, He's gonna be like, 0:41:23.640 --> 0:41:26.680 you know what, Like, is there anyway can I go back? 0:41:26.880 --> 0:41:29.120 Is there anybody can go back to being John Stamos? 0:41:29.360 --> 0:41:31.279 Because it was a lot better than the bullshit you 0:41:31.400 --> 0:41:34.000 got going on up here. You're walking around the food, 0:41:34.120 --> 0:41:36.120 You're gonna carry me on the beach, do you understand? 0:41:36.200 --> 0:41:40.279 I played with the beach Boys? All kidding aside, My 0:41:40.480 --> 0:41:44.239 life has been just that great and I'm so being 0:41:44.320 --> 0:41:47.880 fifty seven. I can really have perspective. I've been sober 0:41:48.239 --> 0:41:49.920 quite a while now. That had a lot to do 0:41:50.040 --> 0:41:53.120 with me having a beautiful child and a wife and gratis, 0:41:53.520 --> 0:41:55.520 you know, and it's taken me a long time. But 0:41:55.600 --> 0:42:00.120 you're right, you honest. Also, you're really talented. Honest. I 0:42:00.120 --> 0:42:02.040 don't want to joke about you. But he did this. 0:42:02.440 --> 0:42:04.600 I didn't know, like I said, I did I d 0:42:04.760 --> 0:42:06.520 M you or something? Yeah, I mean I thought we 0:42:06.760 --> 0:42:09.560 met on grinder initially, right, right, right, But I mean 0:42:09.600 --> 0:42:12.359 after that, after that, right, and then I found out 0:42:12.400 --> 0:42:14.400 he'd been doing jokes about man. He said he was 0:42:14.480 --> 0:42:16.600 the my brother or something on there, and it was 0:42:16.920 --> 0:42:20.799 very serendipitous. But you're really talented people. People would say 0:42:20.880 --> 0:42:23.680 that I look like you if you got into an 0:42:23.719 --> 0:42:30.160 accident and had your face reconstructed. I looked like the 0:42:30.320 --> 0:42:32.399 lighting stand in. I looked like the guy who comes 0:42:32.480 --> 0:42:34.120 in to make sure the lighting is right, and then 0:42:34.120 --> 0:42:35.640 they're like, okay, get out of here, you know, because 0:42:35.640 --> 0:42:37.759 I got the dark hair, I got the features, and 0:42:37.800 --> 0:42:39.920 then the real thing comes in. They you know, I 0:42:40.000 --> 0:42:43.120 thought your lighting stand in is quite a looker as well. Probably, Yeah, 0:42:43.320 --> 0:42:45.520 I would love to see your standing. Rob Low we 0:42:45.600 --> 0:42:50.600 were talking about yeah, Rob's listening, and um, honest, here 0:42:50.640 --> 0:42:52.680 look at the bone structure of you. And I can't, 0:42:52.800 --> 0:42:54.360 you know, say too much about a living because the 0:42:54.440 --> 0:42:56.840 husband's listening. Yeah, he's a he's a big kid. That'll 0:42:56.880 --> 0:42:59.600 he'll he'll put a harding on both of us. Yeah, 0:43:00.080 --> 0:43:02.520 I saw that. I was flipping through your stuff early 0:43:02.600 --> 0:43:04.960 when we met and he said something about john Stoneles 0:43:05.000 --> 0:43:06.560 and what the hell? And I was playing it for 0:43:06.640 --> 0:43:09.840 like my sisters, my publicism, and some of the stuff 0:43:09.840 --> 0:43:12.440 he was saying was pretty What were some of those 0:43:12.520 --> 0:43:14.640 jokes on there? Yeah? Well I said that, you know, 0:43:15.200 --> 0:43:19.400 if Stamos and Cluney how to stare off? Yeah, it 0:43:19.400 --> 0:43:21.359 would like they have a stare off to see who 0:43:21.400 --> 0:43:23.840 got hard first. I apologize, I know this is the 0:43:24.719 --> 0:43:26.480 but I mean that's what happened. And I think Stop 0:43:26.560 --> 0:43:28.560 must win. I think he would win him verst Clutey. 0:43:28.560 --> 0:43:33.879 They'd stare whoever got hard first loses. Yeah, Cluney, I've 0:43:33.960 --> 0:43:39.040 seen that this has happened. Yeah, and that's a guy. 0:43:39.200 --> 0:43:41.399 He did say being famous was awesome. Now I'm starting 0:43:41.440 --> 0:43:44.920 to think, so like this does happen? Well, that didn't know. Well, 0:43:46.080 --> 0:43:48.360 I'm grateful and Olivia I wish you the best with 0:43:48.440 --> 0:43:50.560 this podcast. I think it's really good.

It's funny. 0:44:04.560 --> 0:44:06.600 It's funny that you're gabbing at us. You haven't made 0:44:06.600 --> 0:44:10.759 fun of him enough yet, but you can.

Right? 0:49:25.560 --> 0:49:27.879 I got two brothers, one of which is a big 0:49:27.920 --> 0:49:30.120 fan of you, and he's gay, and I would like 0:49:30.680 --> 0:49:32.520 if I can convince you to marry him, then we 0:49:32.600 --> 0:49:35.200 can hang out all the time. We hang out too 0:49:35.280 --> 0:49:38.799 much as is we do. Yeah, we're like schoolgirls. We text, 0:49:39.000 --> 0:49:41.759 we face time sometimes. Okay, I've got one more lightning 0:49:41.800 --> 0:49:44.200 around question. You've got to answer this one because you're 0:49:44.200 --> 0:49:48.600 really not answering any what Bob Sagging or Dave Creek? 0:49:48.680 --> 0:49:53.480 What kind of question is that? Sag It? No? I 0:49:53.600 --> 0:49:56.239 think Dave Davis would do the voices, and sag It 0:49:56.320 --> 0:49:58.359 would just talk me to death. So I think Dave 0:49:58.719 --> 0:50:01.799 and he's wild, right he says wildest. People say he's 0:50:01.880 --> 0:50:04.120 uh he goes. You go see sag It live. You 0:50:04.200 --> 0:50:08.480 can't believe that he Danny Tanner has such Danny Tanner 0:50:08.960 --> 0:50:11.040 but one of the great great both of them. But 0:50:11.320 --> 0:50:15.160 Bob is a really a great, great, good person. I 0:50:15.320 --> 0:50:18.560 love it. You have to have dinner with Mary, Kate 0:50:18.760 --> 0:50:23.279 or Ashley. Who's a better dinner date. Oh, last time 0:50:23.280 --> 0:50:24.840 I saw him they were thirteen or something, so I 0:50:24.880 --> 0:50:27.080 don't really know. But you haven't seen him since? No, 0:50:27.200 --> 0:50:29.680 I have. I have, I mean not last fifteen years 0:50:29.760 --> 0:50:32.880 or so, but all the who would I don't know. 0:50:33.400 --> 0:50:38.239 That's a you guys, we're doing so well with this podcast, Like, 0:50:38.440 --> 0:50:40.440 we don't need these questions. You know what's funny. I 0:50:40.520 --> 0:50:43.440 think fans of TV shows, long running TV shows in 0:50:43.480 --> 0:50:46.239 our heads, you guys, like get together for holidays. You 0:50:46.320 --> 0:50:48.160 have a text threat all this stuff that doesn't happen, 0:50:48.200 --> 0:50:51.000 does it? Yes? It does? We did. I mean the 0:50:51.080 --> 0:50:54.160 twins just didn't. Really. Other than the twins, we're all 0:50:54.400 --> 0:50:57.000 very very We have a text chain going right now. 0:50:57.280 --> 0:50:59.239 I have a text chain with with them. I have 0:50:59.320 --> 0:51:01.920 a text shame with me the Big Shot girls. It's 0:51:02.000 --> 0:51:03.880 that's called t c k S, which is the thing 0:51:03.920 --> 0:51:05.399 that we said on there to take care of keeps 0:51:05.400 --> 0:51:08.359 saying I have r I have the e r gang 0:51:08.480 --> 0:51:12.400 on here the girl plays. My daughter just texted me 0:51:12.520 --> 0:51:14.719 and said, hey, guess where I am, And then she 0:51:15.400 --> 0:51:21.279 sent a picture of the house. She says that, hey, 0:51:21.400 --> 0:51:23.799 the full house house. Well, John, me and you text 0:51:23.800 --> 0:51:27.160 a lot. Just be careful that you don't text her 0:51:27.480 --> 0:51:30.320 what you're texting me at any point, because our text 0:51:30.440 --> 0:51:32.080 is a little more grown up than your text with 0:51:32.160 --> 0:51:36.640 those children. Yeah. I just told her I'm not home. Yeah, 0:51:36.920 --> 0:51:39.440 maybe it's trying to find me there. I don't know 0:51:39.560 --> 0:51:43.000 which one the delightful go you know, to be To 0:51:43.080 --> 0:51:45.320 give you something on that is that there was always 0:51:45.360 --> 0:51:47.799 I think it was Mary. Kate was a little more emotional, 0:51:48.120 --> 0:51:50.359 would do the you know, the sort of the heart 0:51:50.400 --> 0:51:53.279 tugging scenes where you hear that strange and Ashley was 0:51:53.440 --> 0:51:55.879 I think was funnier. I think that was how it went. 0:51:56.239 --> 0:51:59.319 That's interesting, But you could also have that totally mixed up, right, 0:52:00.120 --> 0:52:05.279 I put, yes, So we learned nothing there. But what 0:52:05.400 --> 0:52:07.960 have you ever texted someone and it was the wrong 0:52:08.080 --> 0:52:10.040 person like that? Has that ever happened to you? When 0:52:10.080 --> 0:52:12.960 you text one? You text someone and it's somebody that 0:52:13.080 --> 0:52:15.000 you really didn't want to see what you just texted 0:52:15.040 --> 0:52:17.680 and it was meant for somebody else. Yes, my wife, 0:52:20.360 --> 0:52:22.399 have you I know you got a chill. Oh yeah, 0:52:22.480 --> 0:52:24.040 it's happened to me. It's happened to me a bunch 0:52:24.080 --> 0:52:26.600 of times. Yeah, go ahead, what happened? Oh god, I'm 0:52:26.640 --> 0:52:29.319 trying to think of a good one, Olivia. I've I've 0:52:29.800 --> 0:52:31.759 done ones were like this guy's a real asshole. And 0:52:31.920 --> 0:52:34.799 it was to the guy, Yeah I've done I've done 0:52:34.840 --> 0:52:37.600 that with girlfriends. I have never done it, but someone 0:52:37.640 --> 0:52:41.840 did it to me. I was like, m I was 0:52:41.920 --> 0:52:44.440 working with him. It was the thing and he said, hey, 0:52:44.640 --> 0:52:45.920 call me a pain in the ass or something, and 0:52:45.960 --> 0:52:47.600 I was just digging at a script. I didn't like it. 0:52:47.719 --> 0:52:50.239 We kept trying to get it right. M Olivia, who 0:52:50.239 --> 0:52:52.520 would you have rather have dinner with? Kareem abdor jabar 0:52:53.600 --> 0:52:57.360 or Um. I don't know. You're trying to think of 0:52:57.400 --> 0:53:02.040 another sports person. You can't think of one. Ruth, Babe 0:53:02.120 --> 0:53:06.439 Ruth historic. Although it's funny. I think if Babe Ruth 0:53:06.480 --> 0:53:08.440 were to play today, and this is such a tangent, 0:53:08.600 --> 0:53:11.040 but it's I mean, when you look back at pictures 0:53:11.080 --> 0:53:14.000 of Babe Ruth playing, he was like an overweight kind 0:53:14.080 --> 0:53:17.560 of rusty krusty man like he wasn't you could do 0:53:17.640 --> 0:53:19.920 the TV movie about him. You could play him. Yeah, 0:53:19.920 --> 0:53:23.239 I could play right now, I certainly can't. Yeah I could. 0:53:24.280 --> 0:53:26.640 I could play John Goodman did a good job playing him. 0:53:27.080 --> 0:53:29.040 Those pictures of Babe Ruth are later in his career. 0:53:29.239 --> 0:53:31.360 If you look to it earlier years. He was actually 0:53:31.440 --> 0:53:33.839 kind of like Jack. He was about six six ft 0:53:33.880 --> 0:53:35.600 six one right, which was big for that time, and 0:53:35.680 --> 0:53:38.440 he just had that natural strike. He just had that 0:53:39.480 --> 0:53:41.960 and two way player. I mean picture the whole thing 0:53:42.120 --> 0:53:44.640 and the kid. The kid put up some Hall of 0:53:44.760 --> 0:53:47.759 Fame numbers with the ladies. He put up some Stamos. 0:53:48.160 --> 0:53:51.600 He put up some Stamos Stamos numbers, Stamos s. It 0:53:51.680 --> 0:53:56.279 was stamo esque Stamos, not quite Stamos level. Who would 0:53:56.320 --> 0:53:58.560 you rather have dinner with? Olivia? The What are those 0:53:58.600 --> 0:54:00.800 twins names? There's twin BASKETBA players. I know one of 0:54:00.840 --> 0:54:04.920 them there. They live in Florida. To twin brothers. Twins 0:54:05.120 --> 0:54:11.080 basketball players Morris, Marcus Morris and Morris Gosh, they collect 0:54:11.080 --> 0:54:13.759 Disney stuff. That's why I know one of them. They 0:54:13.840 --> 0:54:16.120 live in Florida. People at home, who am I trying 0:54:16.120 --> 0:54:19.480 to think of basketball? Twins. I don't know, I have 0:54:19.640 --> 0:54:21.960 to if the sports people, oh the is it the 0:54:22.080 --> 0:54:27.440 Lopez brothers? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, okay, Broker Robin Lopez, yes, yes, yes, yes, 0:54:27.520 --> 0:54:30.440 yes yes okay yeah, and Brooke plays for the Bucks, 0:54:30.560 --> 0:54:32.360 which brings us back to if you really want to 0:54:32.400 --> 0:54:34.200 make your three year old son happy, if he's really 0:54:34.239 --> 0:54:37.160 getting into sports as a Greek, you should get him 0:54:37.200 --> 0:54:40.239 a little Janice onto the combo jersey. That's like the 0:54:40.320 --> 0:54:43.040 most famous basketball player for sure, the most famous Greek 0:54:43.080 --> 0:54:47.520 basketball player. Okay, I we'll do that. Yeah, yeah, And again, 0:54:47.719 --> 0:54:50.160 I don't mean to come off disrespectful towards starts sports. 0:54:50.160 --> 0:54:52.799 I admire everybody who plays him, who announces him, who 0:54:52.800 --> 0:54:55.800 does him. It's just that I I'm starting to like it. 0:54:55.920 --> 0:54:57.680 I guess I have a basketball corner at my house, 0:54:57.719 --> 0:55:01.240 and I guess I had to shoot at the last episode. 0:55:01.600 --> 0:55:04.040 I had to make a couple of three free throws 0:55:04.160 --> 0:55:06.920 or something. Then do you that form looked good, the 0:55:07.000 --> 0:55:09.120 passes look good, and how long did you work on that? 0:55:09.280 --> 0:55:11.839 So it just it seems like you were a guy 0:55:11.920 --> 0:55:14.080 who knew how to play basketball in those scenes, which 0:55:14.120 --> 0:55:17.080 is very that's a testimony your acting ability, John m 0:55:17.920 --> 0:55:19.759 I really did work hard on it all because it 0:55:20.160 --> 0:55:23.760 was important to be respectful there. I somehow I actually 0:55:23.800 --> 0:55:25.759 to be honest with you. So it's a scene at 0:55:25.800 --> 0:55:27.279 it's the last episode and I have to make a 0:55:27.320 --> 0:55:29.839 few of those shots, like you're taking a cookie out 0:55:29.840 --> 0:55:36.520 of the cookie jar, right, yeah, right, But I actually 0:55:36.800 --> 0:55:38.719 it was they had this big white shot of the 0:55:39.040 --> 0:55:41.360 gym and the cameras way back and I had to 0:55:41.480 --> 0:55:44.480 make and I'm up there and it do my lineup 0:55:44.520 --> 0:55:47.320 thing and it goes in. Now I'm supposed to be 0:55:47.400 --> 0:55:49.759 like pensive and I'm thinking about each girl as I 0:55:49.880 --> 0:55:53.560 throw it, and but meanwhile I'm you, guys, got I got? 0:55:54.080 --> 0:55:57.839 I made it? Do you guys get well? Second one 0:55:57.920 --> 0:56:00.160 goes in my hand of God, the people are freaking out, 0:56:00.680 --> 0:56:03.440 Hello God that we're rolling camera right, you know, I 0:56:03.480 --> 0:56:05.239 don't know how it happened, but I guess I'm a 0:56:05.320 --> 0:56:07.680 pressure under pressure guy. Yeah. And this is in a 0:56:07.840 --> 0:56:09.680 game in the show that the coach had to make 0:56:09.719 --> 0:56:12.520 a shot. There's two times I had to play. One 0:56:12.640 --> 0:56:15.120 was this beautiful scene where I think it's a It's 0:56:15.160 --> 0:56:17.680 in the second episode where I was talking about my 0:56:17.760 --> 0:56:19.560 daughter and she says not bet he she misses you 0:56:19.600 --> 0:56:22.200 and I said yeah, and she said, I do anything 0:56:22.239 --> 0:56:24.200 to be you know, see my dad again. I said, oh, 0:56:24.280 --> 0:56:26.600 is he done around? And she said no. She walks out. 0:56:26.680 --> 0:56:30.360 And I looked at her thing on the computer, her background, 0:56:30.600 --> 0:56:34.480 and it said her father was deceased. And said, hey, Destiny, 0:56:35.120 --> 0:56:36.279 you want to play a game horse? And it was 0:56:36.480 --> 0:56:39.000 It's a beautiful scene, the two of us just like playing. 0:56:39.080 --> 0:56:41.040 And I said, I'll bet you a million dollars and 0:56:41.440 --> 0:56:44.879 she and she beats me in the final thing. It's 0:56:44.920 --> 0:56:48.279 really sweet. Well, listen, there's been a lot of nonsense 0:56:48.480 --> 0:56:51.319 said during this interview. This has gone every which way, 0:56:51.719 --> 0:56:53.839 but I think on a sentimental moment like that, that's 0:56:53.880 --> 0:56:56.520 a pretty good place to wrap if that's what you 0:56:56.640 --> 0:57:02.000 call an ending. This Amos Sons Stamo Sons is what 0:57:02.080 --> 0:57:03.800 he called it in the l A time zon is 0:57:03.920 --> 0:57:06.960 upon us. This is your time right now. I mean, look, 0:57:07.120 --> 0:57:09.120 I don't want to give you a pep talk. You're 0:57:09.120 --> 0:57:11.440 about to blow up. You're an up and coming actor. 0:57:11.920 --> 0:57:14.120 You've got a lot of talent. Kid, this is gonna 0:57:14.160 --> 0:57:16.400 go good for you. Nobody knows who you are, but 0:57:16.520 --> 0:57:20.760 one day they will. You think, yeah, it really truly 0:57:20.880 --> 0:57:23.240 is a fantastic show, and it's it's crazy that this 0:57:23.280 --> 0:57:26.240 show is getting so much attention considering it's you're playing 0:57:27.000 --> 0:57:31.240 a basketball coach and it's something you knew nothing about before. 0:57:31.320 --> 0:57:33.760 It shows you're acting talent. I think that l A 0:57:33.840 --> 0:57:36.840 Times article is correct. Man, You're a very talented dude, 0:57:36.920 --> 0:57:38.840 and I'm just honored to be friends with you, and 0:57:39.200 --> 0:57:41.480 I hope your career takes off because to day, I mean, 0:57:41.560 --> 0:57:44.120 it's been nothing. Nobody knows who you are, No women 0:57:44.160 --> 0:57:47.160 know who you are. You're unrecognizable. You could walk down 0:57:47.200 --> 0:57:50.120 the street and nobody would know. I think this podcast 0:57:50.240 --> 0:57:51.440 is gonna do it for me. I think this is 0:57:51.480 --> 0:57:56.680 this is it, this is tonight, this is thanks for 0:57:56.760 --> 0:57:59.960 having me, Thanks for hiring my friend.

I know he doesn't that way right now, 0:58:02.640 --> 0:58:04.960 but he knows a lot about a lot of things, 0:58:05.000 --> 0:58:06.280 and I know he knows a lot about sports. So 0:58:06.280 --> 0:58:07.960 I wish you guys the best. I'm gonna be tuning 0:58:07.960 --> 0:58:10.240 in to see to hear both of you every single 0:58:10.320 --> 0:58:12.560 time you're on.

But we 0:58:56.560 --> 0:58:58.840 got to just bring up that the biggest bet that 0:58:59.000 --> 0:59:01.520 we all had behind the scenes was if his now 0:59:01.720 --> 0:59:05.160 fiancee was going to say yes, Peter, tell us about 0:59:05.200 --> 0:59:08.080 your engagement. Congrats, thank you very much. Yeah, if you're 0:59:08.080 --> 0:59:10.960 a chalk better you uh you took minus ten thousand 0:59:11.040 --> 0:59:13.600 her to say yes, so she did. So we're enjoying 0:59:13.600 --> 0:59:16.120 a couple of days in the Bahamas right now. Congratulations 0:59:16.200 --> 0:59:19.480 to you and Stephanie the future Mrs Andrew. We're so 0:59:19.640 --> 0:59:22.240 excited for you guys. Thank you. Now we gotta pick 0:59:22.320 --> 0:59:24.120 your brain a little bit. I know you're on vacation, 0:59:24.240 --> 0:59:26.880 but we need a little help, my friend. So Wimbledon 0:59:27.040 --> 0:59:29.400 has begun walk us through some of the bets going 0:59:29.480 --> 0:59:32.760 into this weekend at Center Court. I know for tournament winner, 0:59:32.840 --> 0:59:35.560 the joker is minus one sixty and for the women 0:59:35.720 --> 0:59:39.040 ash party is plus four fifty. What do you like there? Yeah, 0:59:39.360 --> 0:59:41.240 it's a little bit of a tough tournament. Obviously, we 0:59:41.320 --> 0:59:44.200 had a couple of bigger names back out for Wimbledon. 0:59:44.720 --> 0:59:47.480 I really like Joker and Party, right. I mean, obviously 0:59:47.600 --> 0:59:49.600 you're taking a little bit of the chalk there, but 0:59:49.720 --> 0:59:52.960 I think they're good bets. They're above and beyond the 0:59:53.040 --> 0:59:55.120 more superior of the tennis players. I think if you 0:59:55.120 --> 0:59:57.240 want to take a couple of stabs at some maybe 0:59:57.320 --> 1:00:01.160 better prices, taking a shot Andy Murray, the local Englishman 1:00:01.200 --> 1:00:03.800 plus four thousand worth a couple of bucks, they're a 1:00:03.840 --> 1:00:05.840 big return. Obviously it's gonna be a bit difficult for 1:00:05.920 --> 1:00:07.880 him to make it through, but you know, worth putting 1:00:07.960 --> 1:00:10.040 five ten bucks on. He's a previous winner as well. 1:00:10.520 --> 1:00:12.640 And then I think the the obvious one is going 1:00:12.720 --> 1:00:16.200 for a lady like Serena Williams riven Cocoa Golf plus 1:00:16.240 --> 1:00:19.480 six fifty plus sixteen hundred respectively. You can't go wrong 1:00:19.600 --> 1:00:21.840 just taking a little bit of a long shot there 1:00:21.880 --> 1:00:23.960 and seeing if they can return some value to you, 1:00:24.480 --> 1:00:27.520 absolutely better value. They're sticking on that side of the pond. 1:00:27.600 --> 1:00:30.200 Euro Cup is under way, there's some big games Friday. 1:00:30.320 --> 1:00:32.720 We know this air is Thursday, so this is very timely. 1:00:32.840 --> 1:00:35.720 I know you like Italy, Peter, Yeah, so a little 1:00:35.720 --> 1:00:38.040 bit to do with my heritage. But they are a 1:00:38.120 --> 1:00:42.800 really really strong team Italy. I think they've passed the 1:00:42.840 --> 1:00:46.080 eye test. They're great defensive team, they can score goals. 1:00:46.520 --> 1:00:48.200 Belgium is going to be a tough challenge, but I 1:00:48.240 --> 1:00:50.400 think they're just a more complete team. So I really 1:00:50.480 --> 1:00:54.040 liked them plus one on Friday. Just win. It has 1:00:54.080 --> 1:00:56.360 to be within ninety minutes, so within the normal game time. 1:00:56.720 --> 1:00:59.000 But also I love them at plus four hundred to 1:00:59.040 --> 1:01:02.160 win the Euros, and then a couple other bets potentially 1:01:02.240 --> 1:01:04.880 to take Denmark plus nine hundred. I think you can 1:01:04.920 --> 1:01:08.600 also take a shot at Switzerland plus teams that are 1:01:08.640 --> 1:01:12.320 looking to surprise both riding tons of energy. Denmark with 1:01:12.760 --> 1:01:15.960 Christian Erikson's injury, they've obviously kind of looked past that 1:01:16.160 --> 1:01:18.400 and and are starting to really amplify their game. And 1:01:18.440 --> 1:01:22.080 then Switzerland huge huge win against France yesterday as this 1:01:22.200 --> 1:01:25.280 is airing today on Tuesday, both playing with a ton 1:01:25.360 --> 1:01:27.880 of energy, so worth again throwing a couple of bucks 1:01:27.920 --> 1:01:30.400 on them. Euros have been fantastic so far, so I 1:01:30.640 --> 1:01:32.600 expected to be a couple of fun games going on 1:01:32.680 --> 1:01:35.360 to Friday Saturday. Oh, they're so fun to watch, aren't they? 1:01:35.560 --> 1:01:38.880 Absolutely so? Back over state side, we can't really get 1:01:38.920 --> 1:01:41.919 too much into NBA as those series are are going 1:01:42.000 --> 1:01:44.280 on a little bit further than we thought and are 1:01:44.400 --> 1:01:46.200 so much fun to watch. I got the chance to 1:01:46.240 --> 1:01:48.520 go to the Hawks at Bucks game last week and 1:01:48.600 --> 1:01:52.360 it was a blast. Hawks take the win narrowly last 1:01:52.400 --> 1:01:55.200 Wednesday and that was fun to be at. But Stanley 1:01:55.240 --> 1:01:58.960 Cup Finals Game one has just happened. Tampa Bay wins that. 1:01:59.240 --> 1:02:01.800 What can people will put their money on this weekend? Yeah, 1:02:01.920 --> 1:02:04.320 I think Tampa is really proven to be the more 1:02:04.360 --> 1:02:09.640 superior team. Montreal had pretty energetic series against Vegas. They've 1:02:09.640 --> 1:02:12.120 been playing fantastic, but Tampa really is above and beyond. 1:02:12.640 --> 1:02:14.800 A couple of bets. I like Tampa win the series. 1:02:14.880 --> 1:02:17.840 For one, that's at plus two fifty. I think Montreal 1:02:17.880 --> 1:02:20.600 squeezes out one game at home. Tampa I think eventually 1:02:20.640 --> 1:02:24.000 wins it back in Tampa Bay in game five. And 1:02:24.040 --> 1:02:26.720 then I also like when it comes to const mythe 1:02:26.800 --> 1:02:29.320 so the MVP of the tournament, you also look at 1:02:29.440 --> 1:02:33.000 Brighton point to win the Consuma Trophy. Plus two I 1:02:33.080 --> 1:02:35.280 think that's a pretty good bet considering he's kind of 1:02:35.360 --> 1:02:37.440 been the one leading the charge throughout the entirety of 1:02:37.440 --> 1:02:40.200 the playoffs. And then a couple of random bets as well. 1:02:40.640 --> 1:02:43.280 Nikia Koutrov most goals for the Lightning in the series. 1:02:43.320 --> 1:02:45.280 That's at minus one thirty five. Now he had two 1:02:45.440 --> 1:02:47.160 in game one, so he's got a little bit of 1:02:47.160 --> 1:02:49.000 an advantage as they go into Game two and beyond. 1:02:49.680 --> 1:02:51.600 And then the young guy col call Field on the 1:02:51.640 --> 1:02:54.400 Montreal side plus six hundreds have the most goals. He's 1:02:54.480 --> 1:02:57.880 come in has been fantastic in the last series. He's 1:02:57.960 --> 1:03:00.320 I think nineteen years old and just proving he's going 1:03:00.360 --> 1:03:02.800 to be a superstar in the NHL. Plus six hundred 1:03:02.920 --> 1:03:05.200 again good value there, get him to score a couple 1:03:05.280 --> 1:03:07.520 and then come out on top. Well, my friend, you 1:03:07.640 --> 1:03:10.480 have clearly done your homework, even on your engagement moon. 1:03:10.560 --> 1:03:12.800 Now go enjoy the rest of your vacation. Thank you 1:03:12.960 --> 1:03:16.400 so much for helping us with our financial decisions this weekend. 1:03:16.480 --> 1:03:19.280 Thank you.
