Have mercy! John Stamos finally spills the tea on a storied career in his new, sort-of-a-bombshell memoir "If You Would Have Told Me." From General Hospital to Full House, getting a handie under the table at Le Dome to getting a DUI on the way to Spago, this is one wild, extremely PG-13-rated journey with America's hottest uncle.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
It's Hollywood, it's books.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Celebrity book Club. Come read it while it's hot. Celebrity
book Club. Tell your secrets. We won't talk celebrity books.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
No boys are a loud celebty book say it loud
and cloud Celebrity book Club.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Buzz me in. I brought the queer.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Voe hey, best friend friend. So good to see you.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
It's so good to see you. You are my brother,
you know, the guy I roll around town with.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
If you would have told me that he'd still be
doing this damn thing five, ten, twenty years later, I said,
you're crazy. But here we are, and I'm thankful to
God that we're still in the mix.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I'm so thankful. And I just want to say one
other thing, Opah, if you want to say it.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
With me, Oh oh by, why are you talking about
Greek Stuffinitely.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
One we like both like want to be Greek, so true.
But let's say because we're doing one of the most
famous Greek actors this.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Week who I kind of never even like thought of
as Greek until wait, really, I guess. I know his
last name is so Greek, but you know, Greek names
are often kind of even longer.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I mean, it was a big thing on his hit
nineties TV show.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Okay, I guess, which is also like, I know I
watched the nineties, but again it's been a while. I'm old.
Say it with me, ladies. Do you know him as
Uncle Jesse from Full House?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
You also know him as Uncle Jesse from the reboot
Fuller House.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Talking about celebrated actor of the stage and screen, John
and Stage, I said, stage and screen.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Oh my headphones and through my long flowing Greek care
you wish. It is crazy. So this is like a
hot new book.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Caught off the press. Everyone's talking about it.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Everyone should be talking about it. The tea in here
is piping from Luri Laughlin being brave to his divorce
with Rebecca Romain Stamos in two thousand and three. He
spills every day.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
That was probably the funniest part we all know, So
Lori Laughlin's college and Missus Kendall when that happened a
few years ago to refresh y'all's memory. Many kids will
remember when Olivia Jade, who randomly is like such an
Amazon influencer, is Lori Laughlin's also from full House and
Fuller House's daughter, and.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Lori Laughlin is married to literally Massimo, like the creator
of the fashion line Masumo.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
So Olivia Jade slash Lee Laughlin was busted because she
was paying like test takers like classic it is'm gonna
take the stats for you or was it?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
No? So here was the thing. She hired this guy
who ran like a testing company, and of course he
was say it with me out of Boston and a
lot of celebrities like used him. And basically this guy,
I think he would pay test takers or he would
like give them answers. I don't know, maybe he would
(03:22):
just straight up change the scores.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I don't think he's hacking into a mainframe. It sounds
like it was somebody's taking tests. I mean, I'm sure
we can.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Google this, but as you say, why not.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Guess why not? Guess you can't fact check this podcast.
But the funny time part was she did that to
get into USC.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
That was the funniest part because it was like other
like Felicity Huffman also went to jail for this, and
like tons of other random Boston parents like used as
their kids could go to like Harvard even a toughs.
But Olivia Jade Mussi Mo literally used this to get
to USC.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Oh wait, you're right he was bribing college and fraudul.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah, you don't think I know about SAT bribing girl.
You as someone who took so many SAT classes and
still came out with a average below then average score,
I think I know a thing or two about the
New England SAT system bribery and scammery. Really, so Lori
(04:28):
Laughlin got caught along with Felicity Huffman. Loura Laughlin denied
it for probably like as long as she could with
her sexy Italian husband Massimo again who has a beautiful
target line, and then she finally admitted it and got
sentenced to some prison and then of course got out
in like good full house behavior after only two months.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Okay, so this is the scene where he's watching the
news the story breaks big time. I immediately text Lori, are
you watching the news? No? Why an FBI agent is
announcing the largest college admission scandal ever handled by the
Department of Justice involving bribes to prestigious colleges for falsified
student acceptances. Turn on the TV, Laurie, Now there's a
(05:12):
big press conference happening. She asks, what channel? I text
back in all caps, every channel.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I'm obsessed with. Oh my god, Wait, what channel are
you watching?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
They're texting right after they got off the phone because
she thought she was being bummed.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah, because she heard like a clicking on the line.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
And was like, get off the line, Johnny boy, Like,
where being.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Tapped by the Feds. And then he goes, I've witnessed moments.
We're giving up. Could have been the easiest way out
for Laurie. She could have shifted the blame and let
her family, marriage, and life crumble. But she didn't. I'm
not sure I could have taken the hit she did
with the resilience she showed. No matter how hard she
was hit, how desperate everyone was to cancel her and
(05:55):
throw her in with a pile of brutal criminals, she
stood fast, protect her daughters from the mud hurled at
them day after day after day. She was so brave.
She was brave like Amazon, like dorm fridge contract.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
And like Olivia j was still like shilling like Amazon
products on TikTok after that.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah, and being just like, so, when you're getting my
dorm organizer from my freshman year at USC which has
been like deferred for six months.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Use code fuller House to get like ten percent off
off my TikTok shop.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I came away from this book of John Stamos. Yes,
he was a big TV star in the nineties, but
like he kind of knows how like c plus to
be he is, and he comes off as just like
really like a fan of old Hollywood and current Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah, he's super humble, I think when you're been in
the game as long as he has been. Because of course,
back then, if you were a big sitcumbstar in the nineties,
you could be a legacy celebrity forever. Like now, if
you're on I don't know, season three of Ginny and
Jerry or what with that Ginny and Georgia or something
(07:18):
that like Netflix show of like two girls who are friends,
it's like, if you're the uncle on that show, you're
not gonna be famous for the next twenty five years
just because you were the uncle. And Ginny and Georgia, but.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Like, well, no, I mean, and they don't make them
like full House anymore.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
No, they don't make them. Fame doesn't work like that anymore.
But it's like he obviously tried to have a more
prestigious career and that never happened over the course of
twenty five years. So he's kind of just like, Yeah,
I've taken my punches. I get it, I'm hot, i
still look good. I've always been c plus that's where
I'm gonna live. Yeah, He's I'm like, and I'm grateful
for the opportunity.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Literally the sexiest Greek man alive.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Did you feel like he has like short king energy.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yeah, like that's like a yes, he is like sexy
and five eight and like you can tell on Full
House in the shows, like he's not so much taller than.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Well, you know what, we're dead wrong, he's six speak tall.
Oh wow, but you know what, Bob Saget six ' four.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
That's why he seemed short.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah, I just want to.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Kind of like jump into full House for a second.
Oh sure, while we're here. So do you remember how
like in the nineties, like the craziest thing about Full
House was like the revealed. People were like, do you
guys know that actually, like Bob Sagett is a really
like dirty, nasty seat comedian.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yes. That was always like this shocking thing, like yeah,
he actually says like cock and pussy on stage right,
even though he's the wholesome down the wholesome dame.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
And I was like, what are you talking about, because
I would like my schedule as a child was like
six pm Full House, six thirty pm Fresh Prince, and
I was always like, yeah, of course, like, oh I
watch Full House but like it's corny, but like I'm
also into it at the same time, which is funny
because John Stamos is like he also like really didn't
want to do the show. He got like basically his
(09:02):
start by going on General Hospital, which Demi Moore was
also on.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Okay, wait the reveal that they may be fucked.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Oh I know, so someone that comes up to him
and Demi at like an event and they're like, oh
my god, it's Blackie and like Stormy or whatever.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Recently, I ran into Demi at a party celebrating Jamie
Lee Curtis's Oscar nom oh well.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
T by the way, at this book is so reddom
because Jamie Lee Curtis gives the.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Forward, and she was kind of giving the forwards that
you were just giving because she's just being like, He's
an amazing human and we are all lucky to know him, period.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
And the back of the book is the most like,
I like, am still sexy at fifty five, and I
have a lot of money, but I'm not too famous.
He's in a purple suit, in a lawn chair, sitting
outside in tiny swayed Chelsea boots with like a lamp
with a brass lamp plugged into nothing, sitting outside in
(10:02):
this kind.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Of overgrown front yard. I'm sorry. This ad is like
it's somewhere between like Kinfolk and Macy's, where it's like
it's like a promotional magazine that comes with a store.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yeah, trying to figure out what. But I feel like
the kind of the overgrown yard is trying to have
oak his kind of like middle class suburban seventies California childhood.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Oh, one hundred percent. He's just like yo, Me and
Billie Eilish are ghetto.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
As he was like as I you know, worked doing
the Sunday Special in my dad's Greek diner.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Which is like the classic Greek immigrant story come to
America to start a diner, and he was slinging burgers,
making everyone's egg.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Orders, and he'd always be like, ugh, and then there
comes egg whites guy. His big joke in this book
is just like there's always a guy at the dinner
orders egg quite oh.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I like, he makes my life a living hell when
I'm less shorter at her cook and I'm eighteen, okay,
But just to listen to on Demi. So they're at
some party celebrating Jamie Lee Curtis's Oscar nom. I'm assuming
for everything everywhere all at once. M I run into
demiated party celebrating Jamie Lee Curtis Oscar as we're catching
up a writer friend of ours, Ali Adler. Such a
(11:15):
writer girl. Ali completely fingers hot on us. Oh my god,
Blackie and Jackie, did you guys ever? Fuck? We both
look at each other, wondering what the other will say.
DEMI posits to think about it. I don't know if
we've slept together. I think we fooled around, though, I
just smile. Then I ask if she remembers back in
the day and we all went to see Rick Springfield
(11:35):
at the Universal amphitheater, so to me being a gentleman,
I kind of think she's just saying that to like
kind of tittilate Ali, but like they actually did.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I don't think they did, because he does like talk
about sex in this book, and I think like it
reveals Yeah, like if he did, he would say, like, man,
we had a romp and I respect her so much.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Also, just like in the tea part where he like
almost fucks how they're locklear, but then he gets a
wasted and passes out and she's like, meet me in
my bedroom, in my hotel room after they're shooting quarters.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Like he's very being like, yes, we fucked on this
leather couch, but actually didn't feel that good. It is
kind of like his middle age, Like reflecting on this,
he's so like, I mean, it's also now that he's
like a father, Like he tells this story about like
some girls.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
He's got to be a little self deprecating and always
put that one thing like I don't know what the
hell I was doing. Suffice to say I didn't last long.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, just like it wasn't nice experience as I thought.
So I don't think he slept with Demi and I
think honestly she would have mentioned in her book. She's
kind of now this like cross reference for all these
like eighties man books that like come out with, like
the Roblow and the John Stamos, and just like she's.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I mean, this book is such a twin to the
Rob Low book, I think because yeah, Roblow has a
slightly more like you know, disturbed childhood than him, and
I think possibly in relation to that, a slightly more
prestigious acting career than him. But it's still basically like
catalog vibes and like got lucky with the West Wing,
(13:16):
but that's still in some ways of Glorif had Sitcom
and it's just kind of like and like John Samos
never goes beyond full. I mean, yes, he was on
Er and like General Hospital, but it's like he never
gets like a prestigious acting role in his life.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I found this book actually so much more interesting than
the Rob Low book because Rob Low is like he's
going in it being like I'm a huge star. He's
also going in and being like I had the craziest
like alcoholism and I had like crazy times. John Samos
also grows up around the same time, like there is
a Charles Manson story.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Rather in California, there is like a serial killer in
the midst the seventies.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Wait, I actually want to read that part editor of
Tiger Beat magazine who.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Like kind of creates a star out of hims, Like
when he's first auditioning, he gets to be on General
Hospital when he's like eighteen, he plays this punk drifter
in the fictional patterport Charles and like the editor of
Tiger Beat is kind of the one who's like turning
him into a star. It's like the old school fame
machine and like getting him to go to so many
mall signings. And she becomes this family friend and then
(14:23):
she falls in love with the nightstalker serial killer.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Can I read this part? They're like, so she hangs
out with the Stemos family and she's like they're like
all around crowded around the boob tube, like watching the news.
Doreen and Richard communicate by telephone through a thick plexiglass partition,
but even at that distance, Dorian feels she's finally the
apple of someone's eye.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
This is the editor of Tiger Beat who is now
dating Richard Ramirez, the famous serial killer, while he's in prison.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
He's Rudolph Valentino, Mick Jagger and the Boogeyman. I'll row
into one. I love him, Doreen lean and to her
identity as an idol maker. For her, Richard is just
like the pretty boys that came before him. She grooms
him for the first day of his trial like she's
styling a cover shoot for Tiger Beat. She buys him
large black Porsche type sunglasses so he can close his
(15:13):
eyes behind them. She dresses him in a shirt and
a tie with the black leather jacket, basically like styling
him like Stamos is styled on Full House. I'm a
virgin and Richard knows it. That's why I'm different. But
what about children, Dorrien, You've always talked about having a
family someday. This is Stemos's mom who like gets so
involved with this editor of Tiger Beat and is like
(15:34):
trying to stop her from being with the Nightstalker. And
then dorb and the Tiger Beat woman asks John Stamos's
mom to be her maid of honor in the wedding.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
And then the data is just like, actually, you need
to stop communicating with our family. I'm actually gonna go
full Greek on your ass, like you need.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
To Yeah, Opa, back away. No one fucks with my
big fat gray family like that.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I don't know. No one brings serial killer energy into
this big fat Greek family. So she tore, but ultimately
he's still being like and I am grateful to Doreen
for giving me my start. I mean his whole career
is basically like older ladies pinching his cheeks and being
like you are so you know, being like and that's
how he got every role. Like the head of General
Hospital was this woman, this like famous old lady and her.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Name is a Gloria Fontaine. Yeah, his whole image is
being a cool guy, but it's like so fan based,
like yeah, he just wants to be Sinatra and the
Beach Boys. And he's just like so like obsessed with
a little decade called the fifties.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
And his dad's like look at the rat Pack, like
study the rat Pack, and he's like, who are the
rat Pack? And then he like sees Dean Martin at
the lunch when he's deciding to leave General Hospital, and
like Gloria Vanderbilt like brings him over to Dean Martin
and she's just like, oh, and Dean always eats alone.
It has the table set for two.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah, that was interesting, so no one can bother him.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
You think that's what it is. It's not just like
in the book. Don't you think it's a little bit
this Carrie Bradshaw dining out alone armor No. I think like,
like he's a little almost embarrassed to have just one
safe but if he has two, then it's the idea
of dinner. It's the idea of dinner.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I guess. Also in that time, I guess it's the eighties,
like how many people are coming up to Dean Martin
and bothering him for autographs at the pom maybe, like
so many random agents and they're like, hey, Dean, can
you like sign my panties for my wife Loretta or something?
I mean, I guess I would be bothering Dean at
the Pomb.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
But so he goes up to Dean because he basically
wants to leave. He's like, I'm getting too big for
General Hospital. I want to like do sitcoms. I don't
want to be a soap star. And like Gloria's being
so you'll never work in this town again. But she's
like hoping that Dean Martin will like slap some sense
into him. So she brings him over to Dean. She's like,
this is one of my big stars, and Dean Martin
just goes get out while you can. He's like, damn it,
(18:05):
get out while you can't wait the part where he
says that he loves the Palm because they have generous portions.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
No, and him and Bob said could always go there,
and he's like finally the.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Book starts out. It's classic, like literally formula for like
every celebrity memoir like House to start out with the
post like twenty fifteen Dui where it's like things weren't
going well. I mean, unlike Rob Blow, he's not making
such a big deal out of his alcoholism. I know
Rob Blow's alcoholis wasn't even that big of a deal.
(18:35):
And John Samus has not being so like it was crazy.
He's a little bit like, yeah, I was didn't really
drink and then I was kind of drinking a lot
and I was being random.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Yeah. He basically like starts it off, which again is
like Demi started off her book. It was like having
touch Week.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Right, wasn't she having like Spikes Gold?
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Yes, it was like crazy having rumors Spice Gold, she was.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Like Deli girl. So he's about to meet his fucking boy,
Bob Sagat rip at the.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Palm with their generous portions.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Then he's like, okay, well let me just have like
four beers and two whiskeys alone in my house. And
then he drives to go meet Bob Zagat passes up
behind the wheel to wake up to all these fans
being like is that John Stamos passed out? And TMZ
is called.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
And they were just being like, uncle Jesse, what's wrong?
Like why are you slumped over in your bends?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
And then his sisters do gather around him and like
take him to rehab. But like then the entire book
is just about the Beach Boys.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
And then like, yeah, my issue with this book is
just like an excessive focus on the Beach Boys. Granted,
I didn't really know that John Stamos like was an
honorary member of the Beach Boys and I guess has
played with them like on tour for decades. Yeah, that's
cool for him, and it's the lifelong dream of every
Southern California boys to like play with the Beach Boys,
and like he's achieved it. So like good for him,
(19:59):
and he's being this kind of like you know, Jimmy
buffet vibe.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Which is like such an amazing like goal I think
for sitcom star. Yeah, and it's pretty cool for him,
but you are a little bit like, okay, babe, no,
like we get it, like you played with the Beach Boys.
But then he'll just be like it was nineteen eighty one,
I'm sitting with Dennis Wilson on the beach and his
(20:23):
wife glad Us. And then actually, like the Beach Boys
came on Full House and played Cookemo and I was
actually like, he says he's responsible for basically like the
Beach Boys like reintroduction into pop culture, and he makes
Cocomo go number one by like having the Beach Boys
(20:44):
on Full House, which I'm like, I guess that's awesome.
I will also give it up to like Kermit the
Frog and Miss Piggy, who I think are in the
Cocomo video.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
I do feel like it's more Kermit driven than Stamos.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Just give it up for like one of my favorite couples.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Also, then you get into like you know, the Paul
Thomas Anderson and then like all like indie movies like
using Beach Boys songs like is very.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Trail the psychedelic dark, like God only knows. I just
like that, like, well, I'll say very creepy. The song
they played as I was going under in my top
surgery was Wouldn't It Be Nice? And it was so creepy,
full cult movie where it's like the surgery and like
(21:33):
the surgeon leading over units like would it be nice
if we and it's like can you hear me? Creepy?
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Yeah, absolutely terrifying. But so I do feel like there
was just an aesthetic shift that was underway without Stamos
really spearheading it, and the Beach Boys were always gonna
kind of come back and like ultimately are like one
of the most popular bands of all time, but sure
or take credit for it?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Club celebook Club. This was like a little bit of
tea where he talks about how Dennis Wilson gave his
house en Rolls Royce to Charles Manson, right, and he
(22:25):
says in nineteen sixty eight, Dennis meets Manson, a thirty
three year old former contact and singer songwriter, believes he's
just one recording contract away from stardom. He prays on
Dennis's weakness for sex and drugs while trying to get
close to the Beach Boys. But then so he tells
his whole story and then he goes. I regret including
the Manson story in the mini series I produced for
(22:46):
ABC called The Beach Boys and American Family. The network
is insistent on including more of it. I knew this
was a dark stand in their legacy, and if I
had the experience I have now, I would have stood
up to the network. And he was being like, I
should have pushed back on this, like Manson story on
this random special I produced in twenty fourteen. You're like, no,
I don't know if anyone remembers it, but now they do,
(23:08):
because you're retelling this.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
You're talking about it, and you're just like, it's fucked
up that we're talking about it. It's like, well, you're
talking about it, or maybe you reel it in. But
I do think, like, you know, his Beechwoy obsession, I
think it kind of relates to his acceptance of his
personal level of fame. There was an interesting moment near
the beginning when he's on General Hospital and Rick Springfield
(23:32):
as in Jesse's Girl. I guess is the lead of
General Hospital, which I didn't realize.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah, and they're also semi mulleted on there.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
And like basically like General Hospital like got him very
famous and like got him into the hearts and minds
of like so many undersexed housewives across America. But Rick
sort of like is embarrassed by that and is kind
of wants to pull out, so he says Rick's at
the till end of his contract. Once out, he had
moderate success in Australia, but was a complete unknown in
America until he landed the role of doctor Noah Drake
(24:02):
in General Hospital. Then his record hits number one and
now is a giant sex symbol. Rather than credit the
hyperventilating housewives and horny teens who discovered him because of
his soap gig, he tries to disses himself from his
starmicking role to be a full time touring rock star.
I'll see this over and over again. Actors strives to
be seen by anyone, gets a break, solidified stortom, and
becomes reticent to talk about those early days of the
(24:24):
first Fancy Party with apron change and babysitting money just
sport their journeys towards success and he's like, I'm not
going to do that. He's like, cause it's the classic thing.
It's like you get famous doing something cheesy, say like
a podcast about celebrity memoirs, and then you're just like when.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
You go on to star in this really raw, gritty, scripted,
gritty series on.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Two B about aids, and you're just like, I want
everyone to notice you for that. It's like, no one
cares about your two B series, and now you've alienated
all of your original podcast friends, like trying to be pretentious,
and and then you die at thirty eight of a
kratum overdose. And that's sort of like the direction we're
headed in. And if we don't embrace our right, if we.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Don't embrace it, and that's why we are embracing it.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
And I feel like John has basically embraced it. It's like, yeah,
I'm cheesy.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
And he shares the big decisions that he So he
meets Ryan Murphy, and Ryan Murphy's like, you know, twenty four,
he's done popular and.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
John Samon's like, who is this fag?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Yeah, and he's been like he was wearing glasses, spiky hair.
We're at the Ivy and John stamosays they're being so
like everything. Also in this book seems like a scene
from Entourage in this way where it's like fictional but
reality Hollywood. He's like, has his hair slip back, sunglasses on,
leather jacket, valet.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Button down shirt like open three buttons. They're at the
Sunset Tower permanently tan.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
And he has like so many beaded bracelets and necklaces,
and he's like, all right, Ryan, what do you got form?
But even in that point he's like, I'm playing the
part of John Stamos saying what do you got for me?
And then Ryan Murphy pitches him the show. John Samus
is like this does sound good, and I'm still sketched.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
H No, it's a little show called Nip Tuck Well,
and then he goes, I'm worried that it's too demeaning
to women, so I didn't take it.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Oh no, I meant there was a show he pitched
him even before Niptok that where he was going to
play a male hooker.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Oh okay, And then he.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Is pitched Niptok and then he's like it's too demeaning
for women, which is insane.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
He is just being such a feminist and being like, no,
I won't have this faggotty show about plastic surgery.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Absolutely not. It's like he's very turning down Nip tuck.
But then doing this movie called Wedding Wars that was
like an A n E original movie where he plays
a gay wedding planner who gets all gay men who
work in like the wedding industry, whether it be hair
or planning our flowers, to go on a nationwide wedding strike.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Oh wait until gay marriage passed is legalized. Yeah, that's
so insane. How are we not watching this movie every ing?
Speaker 1 (27:19):
No, it seems like a pretty epic movie. And it's
like him and Eric Daye mixed Demi from Grey's Anatomy.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Fuck.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
You know, his heart is in the right place.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
I mean that makes sense. He's just like extremely lib.
I mean he's so Biden. He talks about like performing
with the Beach Boys, that they got a Biden rally
or something in like twenty nineteen, and he's like while
Donald Trump was spewing his bio.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Maga.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
I mean, he's like a huge friend of the gays.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
No, he is the most like and he like along
the way because he has a gay Greek manager named
like Gary's Tatopolus, but he's still being like Gary, it's
so nineties. He's like, explain it to me, man, what
is it about guys that you're into? And Gary's like,
let me put it this way. You know how you
(28:11):
feel when you see a woman?
Speaker 2 (28:14):
He's like, And when he said that, it all clicked.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
And he was like it was simple, but I got it.
Love is love, man.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Okay, can we talk about the movie I watched last night,
the John Stamos insane camp classic called Never Too Young
to Die?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Wait, Yeah, how was it mean? Simmons play is a
tea Girl.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
It's very like Rocky Horror Picture Show. The description on
the movie was just like an evil he she is
trying to steal the nuclear codes and poison LA's water supply.
You're just like, what, it's totally camp, be in ridiculous,
and it's honestly really funny. And I was like, this
(28:55):
should be like a camp classic, like Rocky Horror Picture Show.
And in the book, well he even says, I really
hope it becomes more like Rocky Horror because it's hilarious
and it's literally like Jean Simmons like stomping in heels
and like licking everyone's faces and like, also, Jean Simmons
has a fingernail that's like like a really long fingernail
(29:17):
that he uses to kill people. The movie is him,
and then the lead actress in it is this woman.
Her actress name is Vanity. Just one word, Well, so
do you know who Vanity is? Well, he says, her
real name is Denise. In the book, she was.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Like a prince girl.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Oh, she's like part of Princess Haram.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
If I'm cracked, and again, fact check me. She is
like part of Prince's Harem. She was part of the
group Vanity six. Yeah, she says. Nasty girl, nasty girl,
nasty girl.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Oh right, okay, and that's when they turned her into
nasty girl, and she was like becoming this nasty girl
and she was really nasty, so he says. So when
starting a new project, there's usually a meet and Greek
cast dinner to night. It's at a restaurant sunset Boulevard
called the Dome Mere. Moments after meeting Vanity for the
first time, she's giving me a hand job under the table,
not even sure how it starts. I'm making small talk
(30:11):
as she rearranges a napkin in my lap, and the
next thing I know, she's all in. It's exciting, but
nerve wracking. She maintains a slight smile, looks attentively at
the director who's discussing the nuance attraction between our characters
Stargrove and Danja. Nothing nuanced happening under the table. At
the same time the producer's making introductions. I hope she
doesn't shake hands with anyone. I'm like, okay, actual full
(30:34):
pimp mode activated, no full, It's very that game stone
Face where you're not allowed to react while girls blowing
you into the table.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yeah. But John Stamos even reflects being like that was
so like hot, but like he was like her father
also abused her till the day she.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Died, because he says on set, she was always like
taking the random prop guns and like firing them randomly,
like all the time, and being so like Alec Baldwin
coated and like trying to kill people. And he was
like it was a little too wild, And I totally
understand that, like with the abuse she suffered, like that
gave her a monarchy of control and like she was
trying to regain power in a sense, like being on
(31:14):
this mail set, and so I do get that. At
the same time, it did make me fear for my safety.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Oh this like is said, So she was like born
again evangelical and then like did have like an overdose. Wait,
we have to do her book. Blame it on Vandy Hollywood,
Hell in Heaven.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Okay, and she's still Christian or she's post Christian.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
She did pass in twenty sixteen from kidney failure for
doing too much cocaine, but she left her estate to
her church. Oh you know very of the eighties, you know.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Yeah, Okay, Wait, I would say the biggest shock to
me that he just casually reveals in this book is
that he had two nose jobs.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Two is insane because you're like, I would expect him
to have one.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
I mean, his nose to me, it looks like, I mean,
I guess it's a nose job nose, but it doesn't
look totally nos job kind of and so this was saying.
So he gets it done a little bit and he's like,
it was kind of weird. And then I literally went
to Michael Jackson's plastic surgeon and they finished it and
he like said he was taking a break from general
hospital to a job, and then like all those castminans
are like, uh, what kind of job are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (32:21):
And I'm like looking at the nose and it's like
is that thing where he really like didn't need it.
I mean if he was an actor today, I don't
think you would have gotten it. Is just like stronger
and a little bit longer.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
It's hard to really find photos because he was called
like big Nose Stamos in middle school and there's his
whole like origin story where this guy tries to beat
him up because his girlfriend, Stephanie's moms was into him.
And then he's like, I'm going to become so famous
that that like jock will never beat me up again.
The jock is like calling him big nose and like
writing big nose like in lipstick on the mirror in
(32:54):
the bathroom, and like the whole school is like big
Nose is going to get beat up by like Johnny Rock.
And it's like I think that stuck with him so
much that he was like, oh, I have to do this.
But I also think that big noses are much more
in these days and people like, you know, more Simian features.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
I was made fun of for having a big nose
in elementary school once, just during math class, kid said
to me, you have a really big nose.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
That seems more of like an observation, and that's like
making fun of.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
I feel like when you're ten and someone says that
like out of nowhere, like it does feel bad. I'll say, Okay.
His marriage to Rebecca Romain, which is just like so
early two thousands, and I kind of like forgot about it,
and then as I was reading, I was like, wait
a second, right, Rebecca Romain demus.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Yeah, she was like the hottest woman alive, I want
to say, for like three full years.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
And he also kind of takes credit for like pushing
her to expand from modeling to being like funny and
on X Men. So they get together right as this
time where he's also kind of considering should I finally
make my move with Lori Laughlin? But ultimately he doesn't,
and that kind of will there won't they? You know,
(34:06):
And I think it's better that they just didn't hook up, honestly.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I mean, Lori has different tastes, Like I love the
part where later in the book when they find out
Bob Sagerties. He's like, I call Lori Laughlin. She was
on the eighth hole of a golf course with her husband.
It's like she was playing golf with Massimo, Like she
was always moving in a different direction.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Yeah, it's a little more just like let me get
my like target Italian husband and we're gonna like play
golf and like have Amazon stores.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Yeah, she's like cheesy rich in country club, whereas Rebecca
Romaine is more you know, has this lust for life
that John did. But yeah, she really was like the
biggest sex symbol.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
It was like she was so hot and like Sports illustrates.
So he gets where they go to Mikas, which is
all tied in to their honeymoon, and of course, like
the beach boys play and walk them down the aisle
or like whatever. Maybe that's his second wedding, but it's
just again, it's three more about like the beach boys
giving him advice and they like are totally hungover their
(35:05):
Mikino's honeymoon. He's like, there's naked men jumping anyway, and
he's like, yeah, I actually talked to a lot of
the behind the scene guys, and yeah, let's just say
she got the cover of Sports Illustrated, and then she
got Jay Leno and then yes, she was on X Men,
and then I just wanted to read this part that
was so us where he's being like she started hanging
(35:28):
with a new crew that was shady. Oh here it
is as I'm lifting Rebecca up, I'm losing myself. Well,
we have great friends in common. She's bringing in a
new crop that throw shade, name drop and try to
outdo one another with obscure references.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
I was like, us coded, so us coded, try to
outdo one another with obscure and they're just being like,
oh my god, waite. Okay, she's being so brideboards and
she's made so marriage wars and he's like, stop talking
shit about my movie that celebrates gay marriage. Okay. So
(36:07):
they kind of have a separation and he shoots some
like shitty movie in New York City and she's kind
of not talking to him for four months, and then
she calls him and she's like, okay, like I'm redoing
our bedroom. Like I guess, let's get back together. And
then they like have this restart where they like travel
to Holland for her dad's birthday, which to me is already.
(36:30):
It's just like this isn't going well.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Like you no, when you're going to Holland.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
For your like a strange wife's dad's birthday, I don't
think you're getting back together. It's just too forced. So
they get divorced, and then he asks if he can
be the one to publicly file.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
He's so insecure, he's so emasculated because like, ye, she
becomes more famous and as the breadwinner. And also she
doesn't fight when they're like you have to pay John
this crazy sum of money.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
Yeah, She's like you do have to pay had like
back taxes or something, and she's just like give him
whatever he's owed. And then he's just like and I
want to be the one to file, and she's like fine,
I mean that's like so power move on her part.
She's a little be like I'm Rebecca Remain.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
And then basically it's so classic man where he talks
about how he wanted to have a family with her,
but obviously like actors just like are so actually having
their family when they're fifty two and meet like a
random hope yeah, And then like he proposes to his
new wife at Disney World and then he just comes
out as this like really like Disney guy.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Yeah, so that's kind of like this sort of bubbling
under because the memoir starts out with a lot of
Disneyland references. He grows up in Orange County, like they're
going to Disneyland a lot. As a kid. He talks
about taking the e ticket rides. Those are the big ones,
Space Mountain, the Matter Horn. He got his life for
the Manner Horn when he was nine years old and
like trying to like comb his hair and look cool
(37:57):
for the girls at Disneyland. And you're kind of like, okay,
so that's just like a local thing. But then by
the end he's like, yeah, like I am a huge
Disney fan. I'm proposing to my wife at Disney. She's
like an insane Disney girl. The chapter that introduces her
is called Disney Girl. It's like, okay, so you're just
like an adult Disney couple and you're putting your kids
in like so much matching, like Star Wars lunchboxes.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
And if I may read his vows, oh please, you
are every Disney princess wrapped up into one woman. You
have snow White's gentle compassion for others Cinderella has strength
over come hard times and emerges the bell of the Ball,
Aril's wit and fasty ness, Princess Jasmine's flashing dark guys,
(38:38):
the gorgeous tumbling hair for Punzel, the adventurous spirit of Pocahontas,
and Belle's ability to see the beauty in this beast
Psycho not the Rapunzel.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
I'm also just like, is is Aril so witty? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Yes, that was my question.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Like, there's one thing I remember from a Little Mermaid.
It's her wit, her undying wit.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
She's feisty.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
And then the proposal was completely insane. They're at Disneyland
and he like prepares this like special whatever like stadium
for her. We sit for a minute, cooling off, taking
in all the large screens. Then the screens begin to
glitch and the music stops. The room goes dark. She
squeezes my hand. Oh no, I say, what the hell
is going on in here? Slowly, each screen in the
room starts to flicker on and play a montage a
(39:23):
video for Caitlyn that I cut together, featuring all the
meat cutes and fallen in love moments in Disney animated
films throughout the years. So he like made this insane
super cut of just like the Beauty and the Beast
and like Aladdin meeting Jasmine, like a clip of the
adorable robot Wally, as well as Bambi, Aladam being the
Beast and more. It ends with an animation our talented
(39:44):
friend Paul Briggs put together for me as Keiths the
girls from The Little Mermaid starts to play. Sebastian holds
up a sign between his pincers that reads, go on
and ask the girl, and I get down on one knee.
I barely get out the words will you marry me?
Before Caitlyn crumples into my he arms. We're both crying
happy tears on the floor. She says, yeah. Yeah, it's like,
(40:07):
so you are a fall of Disney adult Okay, go off.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Oh that to me, it's like, yes, you love Disney.
But something is so like he wouldn't have done that
for a back. It's like being like, I'm marrying someone
younger and I'm also ready to have kids, so I'm
gonna do this whole.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Like Okay, it's I'm refinding like my childhood's side. Yeah,
by dating someone ten years younger and or like twenty years.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Younger, and she was already the pregnant. So he's being
so like, look, I'm already like ready to like watch
tons of Disney movies to dad the fuck up.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Fuller segment. How does she eat?
Speaker 1 (40:52):
What does she wear?
Speaker 2 (40:53):
How does she live?
Speaker 1 (40:55):
What does she eat?
Speaker 3 (40:57):
Like?
Speaker 2 (40:58):
He obviously like loves portions.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
But I think he is, like he looks amazing and
he's literally Greek, and I think it's no bread, Like
I think he's doing like a stunning lamb, stunning like octopus.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
You think that's his secrets, No carbs.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Yeah, And I think it's like grilled lemonee meats and fish.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
But he's like an eighties guy, like he likes bread
and he's a mama's boy. Mama's boys love bread.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
Well, he said his favorite meal to make for his
pregnant wife is huevos john stamos, which is just like
a lot of eggs and tortillas. To me, I think,
you know, he has bread when he wants to do.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
But I think he's just a little bit less red
meat now because he's a little bit like, Okay, I'm
watching my like cluster.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
Oh it's like so nineties less red meat.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
Yeah, But he's like, it's like, hello, peda. There's a
lot of pita in the high there is.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
But I think he's having more octopus. He has this
whole joke about him and Bob Saget like order carpoosy,
which is like octopus, and then they call it car pussy.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Yeah, and he's like.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
Man, we laughed. Oh wait. Also, he tells the full
Alana's tea in this book Once and for All, he lays.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
Down the word because famously, in her big hit single
You Oughtn't Know, she's talking about going down on someone
in the theater and that someone is.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
David Lee, and the way he describes it is so funny,
and it is just Dave Coolier like in his car
being like, damn, this album's really good. Guess I heard her.
But they're both just like what an amazing female rock
and roll singer. Okay, so I guess Lamb is red meat,
but it's like better for you.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
I feel like Lamb is sort of halfway between red
and right in this way right, Like, I agree with you,
it's red meat, but I do feel like it's more
health coded. I feel like Mark Bidman once was just
like there's no two ways around it, like lamb has
had a better story behind it than anything else that's
getting on your plate. Yes, because it's like lambs will
(43:05):
have had a better life and like the lamb industry
is not as despicable.
Speaker 1 (43:10):
Yes, I've heard that. Basically, what is he? He's Greek cloud.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
He's Greek. Okay, that's our incredible insight.
Speaker 1 (43:21):
Also feta salads, yes, olives.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
Docos, the sort of stale bread salad which you think
he doesn't eat because he doesn't eat bread.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
Well, he's also so like dad's cooking pancakes.
Speaker 2 (43:35):
Yes, so like he's making cornflake chicken. I disagree, but
that's so like Dad's cooking. I think he's he's so
Disney lamb.
Speaker 3 (43:45):
True.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
I guess I'm just like I thin kito's what panco is.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
Yeah, he knows, but he makes corn flake chicken. Goes
more fun.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
I'll be honest with you. No one's it for main
me corn flake chicken before.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
Oh that's that. That was one of my dad's, like
you know, four recipes growing.
Speaker 1 (44:00):
Okay, I guess that's what I'm saying. Like it's more Greek.
He's like cornfit chicken, please, grilled it with lemon and
olives and feta and ducos.
Speaker 2 (44:09):
But again, hello the diner. It's like the way he
talks about fooger enough wasn't like my mom was always
like heaving a big batch of olive oil around like
it was greasy spoon.
Speaker 1 (44:18):
No, his mom is completely epic though, and like chased
Down Sinatra and was like remember when we kissed in
Vegas and one of like Sinatra's like big, strong armed
man like stops her and is like, lady, got your pick.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
The mom seems more like wholesome than that, though, we
because he's always sharing these notes that she writes in
these little handwritten notes where she's just like Johnny, baby,
I love you more than the sun, moon and stars.
You're everything a mommy could ever want. Yeah, I hope
you know how loved you are and how grateful we
are that you're so successful. That's like big kisses and
hugs always forever. And it's like he's forty two and
(44:56):
he's getting that letter in the mail.
Speaker 1 (44:57):
Well, I believe, but that's the same type of mom
that does Chased Down Sinatra. She's so like autographed book
about it.
Speaker 2 (45:03):
It's autograph book vibes. And that's again why I don't
think she's so olive oil, and so I don't think
and I think he is more cornflike chicken, and that's kirking.
Speaker 1 (45:12):
Well, we'll go to his Malibu pad with his beautiful
Disney wife and see what they're cooking up.
Speaker 2 (45:18):
Okay, what does he wear? Just like he's so Macy's,
He's so Macy's.
Speaker 1 (45:23):
Like he's also so suitsupply, Like he has like so
many different suits. Like he's like, let me grab the
blue blazer and like put on this cream blazer. And
it's always just like black, button up shirt, open chest hair.
Speaker 2 (45:38):
Yeah, buttonup shirt open. The man does not have a tie.
Speaker 1 (45:41):
No, he like started the tie list kind of ninety
sexy man ways. And obviously his full house style was
pretty epic, leather vess boots.
Speaker 2 (45:55):
His more Phonsie style because Pansie was another big like
inspiration for him. But like all, he's now more Zegna
coded and more Obama vibes. How do they live? I
guess the question is to what extent their Disney addiction is,
Like President has taken over?
Speaker 1 (46:10):
Was I feel like before he had this like Malibu
bachelor pad and it was overlooking the ocean, he'd have
like the Olsen Twins over like.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
No, and it was so like shag carpeting and like
Boogie Nights and he was like fucking every Chicken Hollywood,
like between Rebecca and Caitlin.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
But now I think like it is a little more
like Wayfar and Disney because like he's married and it's
like kid safe.
Speaker 2 (46:34):
Okay, it's kid safe, and there's like outlook covers. So
is the Disney happening where there's like it's more like
my aunt and uncle Mickey and Donald who have like
a full room of insane and yes those are their
real names, who have a whole room of been saying
like McDonald's like for Disney chochkeys or is it more
(46:55):
like he has like one vintage original Mickey Mouse like
animation cell that's like framed, yes, and it's super like chic.
Speaker 1 (47:05):
I was literally about to say cell because once I
went to this like guy's house who's actually like he
invented sports betting and like now does have a podcast
on barstool and his whole house I'll say his name's
tou Finer, and his whole house was like Finstone cells
and it was like really.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
White spencer that sounds like in a horder way, like
you're saying there's cells everywhere, and I feel like that
was so like big heavy furniture and so long island.
I'm like, this to me is like maybe he's more
one cell one cell and it's like chic and it's
not being so like oh and then he's played out
so many bins and being like and this is my
original nineteen sixty five mini mouse. No.
Speaker 1 (47:46):
I think Stamos is like since he is so beach
boys in Sinatra, Like he has a crazy office man
room that is like beautifully decorated, but it's like so
many photos of him with the beach boys, that photo
of him and Sinatra that his father wouldn't get in
because his father was too prideful. And then like in
the bedroom is maybe some like you know, gorgeous wedding
(48:10):
photos and then like a few frame photos of them
with their daughter at Disney, and then one cell.
Speaker 2 (48:15):
I think you're right that it's more wayfair and there's
a lot of throws and it's a lot of beige
and kind of like high backed chairs. I think that
it's high.
Speaker 1 (48:24):
Bed, high bed high.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
Calyn's a little Disney girl. She wants to be in
a big princess bed, absolutely, and she can let her
Rapunzel like hair down from.
Speaker 1 (48:35):
And let that ril whit of hers go wid.
Speaker 2 (48:39):
Okay, this book ultimately was who are you in the book?
Speaker 1 (48:43):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (48:43):
Sorry, jump ahead, I'm serial killer Richard Ramire.
Speaker 1 (48:49):
Okay. I was gonna say I'm John Samos because I'm
such a fan and always I trying to be like
Sinatra and the Beach Boys. But actually i think I'm
a little more Lorettas, and I'm already have the photo
with Sinatra and I'm chasing him down again being we remember,
(49:09):
and then like Jilly Rizzo is stopping me.
Speaker 2 (49:12):
Yes, no, fair enough, And in reality I'm maybe a
little bit more Lori Laughlin, where I am bravely going
to jail for two months you wish for tax evation.
Speaker 1 (49:29):
And I'm like, people are talking shit. I'm like, you, guys,
Steve is really brave. Okay. No one would have handled
that like he did.
Speaker 2 (49:37):
He could have thrown his friends and family under the bus,
but he decided to protect his daughters.
Speaker 1 (49:44):
And that's what's so beautiful, not to be crazy. I
give this book like it's a classic celebrity memoir in
this way where crazy. I'm already crazy. I'm giving it.
Speaker 2 (49:57):
I know you're about to go crazy.
Speaker 1 (49:58):
Three three point eight Greek big good portions at the
Palms out of five. Like, I just have a lot
of fun, like reading all the kind of just like
anecdotes about full House and like auditioning for random shows,
you know, I love those, you know, just like random
(50:19):
Hollywood details.
Speaker 2 (50:20):
Like I liked that it was honesty. I liked him
just being like Mary Kay was better at the dramatic scenes,
Ashley was better at the comedic ones like that, and
that makes so much sense, by the way, But I
I guess I give this book two point six duuys
out of five just because it's way too much Beach
Boys ultimately, like it's you know, he's a nice guy,
(50:44):
and I think the personality shines through, and that's great.
Speaker 1 (50:48):
It's great for him. I guess I didn't mind what
I'm kind of saying. I was like, I didn't mind
half of those book being about the Beach Boys, and
it let me dive into some Beach Boys albums I
haven't listened to yet.
Speaker 2 (50:59):
So just wish it were just a little bit more
like detailed. When he's saying that he likes the portion
size that the palms like I wanted him to be
a little bit more like Lori Laughlin was wearing like
a red as Adalayah crop.
Speaker 1 (51:15):
I guess at the end of the day he is,
You're like, wait, but could he be coaching?
Speaker 2 (51:21):
Could he be kay just describing the people's outfits more.
But I'm also grateful that this book got me to
watch the totally ridiculous should be a cult classic eighties
movie called Never Do Young to Die. What you should
see John Samus, You're an all right dude.
Speaker 1 (51:35):

If you would have told me that he'd still be
doing this damn thing five, ten, twenty years later, I said,
you're crazy. But here we are, and I'm thankful to
God that we're still in the mix.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I'm so thankful. And I just want to say one
other thing, Opah, if you want to say it.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
With me, Oh oh by, why are you talking about
Greek Stuffinitely.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
One we like both like want to be Greek, so true.
But let's say because we're doing one of the most
famous Greek actors this.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Week who I kind of never even like thought of
as Greek until wait, really, I guess. I know his
last name is so Greek, but you know, Greek names
are often kind of even longer.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I mean, it was a big thing on his hit
nineties TV show.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Okay, I guess, which is also like, I know I
watched the nineties, but again it's been a while. I'm old.
Say it with me, ladies. Do you know him as
Uncle Jesse from Full House?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
You also know him as Uncle Jesse from the reboot
Fuller House.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Talking about celebrated actor of the stage and screen, John
and Stage, I said, stage and screen.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Oh my headphones and through my long flowing Greek care
you wish. It is crazy. So this is like a
hot new book.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Caught off the press. Everyone's talking about it.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Everyone should be talking about it. The tea in here
is piping from Luri Laughlin being brave to his divorce
with Rebecca Romain Stamos in two thousand and three. He
spills every day.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
That was probably the funniest part we all know, So
Lori Laughlin's college and Missus Kendall when that happened a
few years ago to refresh y'all's memory. Many kids will
remember when Olivia Jade, who randomly is like such an
Amazon influencer, is Lori Laughlin's also from full House and
Fuller House's daughter, and.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Lori Laughlin is married to literally Massimo, like the creator
of the fashion line Masumo.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
So Olivia Jade slash Lee Laughlin was busted because she
was paying like test takers like classic it is'm gonna
take the stats for you or was it?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
No? So here was the thing. She hired this guy
who ran like a testing company, and of course he
was say it with me out of Boston and a
lot of celebrities like used him. And basically this guy,
I think he would pay test takers or he would
like give them answers. I don't know, maybe he would
(03:22):
just straight up change the scores.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I don't think he's hacking into a mainframe. It sounds
like it was somebody's taking tests. I mean, I'm sure
we can.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Google this, but as you say, why not.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Guess why not? Guess you can't fact check this podcast.
But the funny time part was she did that to
get into USC.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
That was the funniest part because it was like other
like Felicity Huffman also went to jail for this, and
like tons of other random Boston parents like used as
their kids could go to like Harvard even a toughs.
But Olivia Jade Mussi Mo literally used this to get
to USC.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Oh wait, you're right he was bribing college and fraudul.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah, you don't think I know about SAT bribing girl.
You as someone who took so many SAT classes and
still came out with a average below then average score,
I think I know a thing or two about the
New England SAT system bribery and scammery. Really, so Lori
(04:28):
Laughlin got caught along with Felicity Huffman. Loura Laughlin denied
it for probably like as long as she could with
her sexy Italian husband Massimo again who has a beautiful
target line, and then she finally admitted it and got
sentenced to some prison and then of course got out
in like good full house behavior after only two months.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Okay, so this is the scene where he's watching the
news the story breaks big time. I immediately text Lori, are
you watching the news? No? Why an FBI agent is
announcing the largest college admission scandal ever handled by the
Department of Justice involving bribes to prestigious colleges for falsified
student acceptances. Turn on the TV, Laurie, Now there's a
(05:12):
big press conference happening. She asks, what channel? I text
back in all caps, every channel.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I'm obsessed with. Oh my god, Wait, what channel are
you watching?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
They're texting right after they got off the phone because
she thought she was being bummed.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah, because she heard like a clicking on the line.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
And was like, get off the line, Johnny boy, Like,
where being.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Tapped by the Feds. And then he goes, I've witnessed moments.
We're giving up. Could have been the easiest way out
for Laurie. She could have shifted the blame and let
her family, marriage, and life crumble. But she didn't. I'm
not sure I could have taken the hit she did
with the resilience she showed. No matter how hard she
was hit, how desperate everyone was to cancel her and
(05:55):
throw her in with a pile of brutal criminals, she
stood fast, protect her daughters from the mud hurled at
them day after day after day. She was so brave.
She was brave like Amazon, like dorm fridge contract.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
And like Olivia j was still like shilling like Amazon
products on TikTok after that.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah, and being just like, so, when you're getting my
dorm organizer from my freshman year at USC which has
been like deferred for six months.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Use code fuller House to get like ten percent off
off my TikTok shop.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I came away from this book of John Stamos. Yes,
he was a big TV star in the nineties, but
like he kind of knows how like c plus to
be he is, and he comes off as just like
really like a fan of old Hollywood and current Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah, he's super humble, I think when you're been in
the game as long as he has been. Because of course,
back then, if you were a big sitcumbstar in the nineties,
you could be a legacy celebrity forever. Like now, if
you're on I don't know, season three of Ginny and
Jerry or what with that Ginny and Georgia or something
(07:18):
that like Netflix show of like two girls who are friends,
it's like, if you're the uncle on that show, you're
not gonna be famous for the next twenty five years
just because you were the uncle. And Ginny and Georgia, but.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Like, well, no, I mean, and they don't make them
like full House anymore.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
No, they don't make them. Fame doesn't work like that anymore.
But it's like he obviously tried to have a more
prestigious career and that never happened over the course of
twenty five years. So he's kind of just like, Yeah,
I've taken my punches. I get it, I'm hot, i
still look good. I've always been c plus that's where
I'm gonna live. Yeah, He's I'm like, and I'm grateful
for the opportunity.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Literally the sexiest Greek man alive.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Did you feel like he has like short king energy.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yeah, like that's like a yes, he is like sexy
and five eight and like you can tell on Full
House in the shows, like he's not so much taller than.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Well, you know what, we're dead wrong, he's six speak tall.
Oh wow, but you know what, Bob Saget six ' four.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
That's why he seemed short.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah, I just want to.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Kind of like jump into full House for a second.
Oh sure, while we're here. So do you remember how
like in the nineties, like the craziest thing about Full
House was like the revealed. People were like, do you
guys know that actually, like Bob Sagett is a really
like dirty, nasty seat comedian.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yes. That was always like this shocking thing, like yeah,
he actually says like cock and pussy on stage right,
even though he's the wholesome down the wholesome dame.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
And I was like, what are you talking about, because
I would like my schedule as a child was like
six pm Full House, six thirty pm Fresh Prince, and
I was always like, yeah, of course, like, oh I
watch Full House but like it's corny, but like I'm
also into it at the same time, which is funny
because John Stamos is like he also like really didn't
want to do the show. He got like basically his
(09:02):
start by going on General Hospital, which Demi Moore was
also on.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Okay, wait the reveal that they may be fucked.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Oh I know, so someone that comes up to him
and Demi at like an event and they're like, oh
my god, it's Blackie and like Stormy or whatever.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Recently, I ran into Demi at a party celebrating Jamie
Lee Curtis's Oscar nom oh well.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
T by the way, at this book is so reddom
because Jamie Lee Curtis gives the.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Forward, and she was kind of giving the forwards that
you were just giving because she's just being like, He's
an amazing human and we are all lucky to know him, period.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
And the back of the book is the most like,
I like, am still sexy at fifty five, and I
have a lot of money, but I'm not too famous.
He's in a purple suit, in a lawn chair, sitting
outside in tiny swayed Chelsea boots with like a lamp
with a brass lamp plugged into nothing, sitting outside in
(10:02):
this kind.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Of overgrown front yard. I'm sorry. This ad is like
it's somewhere between like Kinfolk and Macy's, where it's like
it's like a promotional magazine that comes with a store.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yeah, trying to figure out what. But I feel like
the kind of the overgrown yard is trying to have
oak his kind of like middle class suburban seventies California childhood.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Oh, one hundred percent. He's just like yo, Me and
Billie Eilish are ghetto.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
As he was like as I you know, worked doing
the Sunday Special in my dad's Greek diner.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Which is like the classic Greek immigrant story come to
America to start a diner, and he was slinging burgers,
making everyone's egg.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Orders, and he'd always be like, ugh, and then there
comes egg whites guy. His big joke in this book
is just like there's always a guy at the dinner
orders egg quite oh.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I like, he makes my life a living hell when
I'm less shorter at her cook and I'm eighteen, okay,
But just to listen to on Demi. So they're at
some party celebrating Jamie Lee Curtis's Oscar nom. I'm assuming
for everything everywhere all at once. M I run into
demiated party celebrating Jamie Lee Curtis Oscar as we're catching
up a writer friend of ours, Ali Adler. Such a
(11:15):
writer girl. Ali completely fingers hot on us. Oh my god,
Blackie and Jackie, did you guys ever? Fuck? We both
look at each other, wondering what the other will say.
DEMI posits to think about it. I don't know if
we've slept together. I think we fooled around, though, I
just smile. Then I ask if she remembers back in
the day and we all went to see Rick Springfield
(11:35):
at the Universal amphitheater, so to me being a gentleman,
I kind of think she's just saying that to like
kind of tittilate Ali, but like they actually did.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I don't think they did, because he does like talk
about sex in this book, and I think like it
reveals Yeah, like if he did, he would say, like, man,
we had a romp and I respect her so much.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Also, just like in the tea part where he like
almost fucks how they're locklear, but then he gets a
wasted and passes out and she's like, meet me in
my bedroom, in my hotel room after they're shooting quarters.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Like he's very being like, yes, we fucked on this
leather couch, but actually didn't feel that good. It is
kind of like his middle age, Like reflecting on this,
he's so like, I mean, it's also now that he's
like a father, Like he tells this story about like
some girls.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
He's got to be a little self deprecating and always
put that one thing like I don't know what the
hell I was doing. Suffice to say I didn't last long.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, just like it wasn't nice experience as I thought.
So I don't think he slept with Demi and I
think honestly she would have mentioned in her book. She's
kind of now this like cross reference for all these
like eighties man books that like come out with, like
the Roblow and the John Stamos, and just like she's.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I mean, this book is such a twin to the
Rob Low book, I think because yeah, Roblow has a
slightly more like you know, disturbed childhood than him, and
I think possibly in relation to that, a slightly more
prestigious acting career than him. But it's still basically like
catalog vibes and like got lucky with the West Wing,
(13:16):
but that's still in some ways of Glorif had Sitcom
and it's just kind of like and like John Samos
never goes beyond full. I mean, yes, he was on
Er and like General Hospital, but it's like he never
gets like a prestigious acting role in his life.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I found this book actually so much more interesting than
the Rob Low book because Rob Low is like he's
going in it being like I'm a huge star. He's
also going in and being like I had the craziest
like alcoholism and I had like crazy times. John Samos
also grows up around the same time, like there is
a Charles Manson story.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Rather in California, there is like a serial killer in
the midst the seventies.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Wait, I actually want to read that part editor of
Tiger Beat magazine who.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Like kind of creates a star out of hims, Like
when he's first auditioning, he gets to be on General
Hospital when he's like eighteen, he plays this punk drifter
in the fictional patterport Charles and like the editor of
Tiger Beat is kind of the one who's like turning
him into a star. It's like the old school fame
machine and like getting him to go to so many
mall signings. And she becomes this family friend and then
(14:23):
she falls in love with the nightstalker serial killer.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Can I read this part? They're like, so she hangs
out with the Stemos family and she's like they're like
all around crowded around the boob tube, like watching the news.
Doreen and Richard communicate by telephone through a thick plexiglass partition,
but even at that distance, Dorian feels she's finally the
apple of someone's eye.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
This is the editor of Tiger Beat who is now
dating Richard Ramirez, the famous serial killer, while he's in prison.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
He's Rudolph Valentino, Mick Jagger and the Boogeyman. I'll row
into one. I love him, Doreen lean and to her
identity as an idol maker. For her, Richard is just
like the pretty boys that came before him. She grooms
him for the first day of his trial like she's
styling a cover shoot for Tiger Beat. She buys him
large black Porsche type sunglasses so he can close his
(15:13):
eyes behind them. She dresses him in a shirt and
a tie with the black leather jacket, basically like styling
him like Stamos is styled on Full House. I'm a
virgin and Richard knows it. That's why I'm different. But
what about children, Dorrien, You've always talked about having a
family someday. This is Stemos's mom who like gets so
involved with this editor of Tiger Beat and is like
(15:34):
trying to stop her from being with the Nightstalker. And
then dorb and the Tiger Beat woman asks John Stamos's
mom to be her maid of honor in the wedding.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
And then the data is just like, actually, you need
to stop communicating with our family. I'm actually gonna go
full Greek on your ass, like you need.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
To Yeah, Opa, back away. No one fucks with my
big fat gray family like that.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I don't know. No one brings serial killer energy into
this big fat Greek family. So she tore, but ultimately
he's still being like and I am grateful to Doreen
for giving me my start. I mean his whole career
is basically like older ladies pinching his cheeks and being
like you are so you know, being like and that's
how he got every role. Like the head of General
Hospital was this woman, this like famous old lady and her.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Name is a Gloria Fontaine. Yeah, his whole image is
being a cool guy, but it's like so fan based,
like yeah, he just wants to be Sinatra and the
Beach Boys. And he's just like so like obsessed with
a little decade called the fifties.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
And his dad's like look at the rat Pack, like
study the rat Pack, and he's like, who are the
rat Pack? And then he like sees Dean Martin at
the lunch when he's deciding to leave General Hospital, and
like Gloria Vanderbilt like brings him over to Dean Martin
and she's just like, oh, and Dean always eats alone.
It has the table set for two.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah, that was interesting, so no one can bother him.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
You think that's what it is. It's not just like
in the book. Don't you think it's a little bit
this Carrie Bradshaw dining out alone armor No. I think like,
like he's a little almost embarrassed to have just one
safe but if he has two, then it's the idea
of dinner. It's the idea of dinner.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I guess. Also in that time, I guess it's the eighties,
like how many people are coming up to Dean Martin
and bothering him for autographs at the pom maybe, like
so many random agents and they're like, hey, Dean, can
you like sign my panties for my wife Loretta or something?
I mean, I guess I would be bothering Dean at
the Pomb.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
But so he goes up to Dean because he basically
wants to leave. He's like, I'm getting too big for
General Hospital. I want to like do sitcoms. I don't
want to be a soap star. And like Gloria's being
so you'll never work in this town again. But she's
like hoping that Dean Martin will like slap some sense
into him. So she brings him over to Dean. She's like,
this is one of my big stars, and Dean Martin
just goes get out while you can. He's like, damn it,
(18:05):
get out while you can't wait the part where he
says that he loves the Palm because they have generous portions.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
No, and him and Bob said could always go there,
and he's like finally the.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Book starts out. It's classic, like literally formula for like
every celebrity memoir like House to start out with the
post like twenty fifteen Dui where it's like things weren't
going well. I mean, unlike Rob Blow, he's not making
such a big deal out of his alcoholism. I know
Rob Blow's alcoholis wasn't even that big of a deal.
(18:35):
And John Samus has not being so like it was crazy.
He's a little bit like, yeah, I was didn't really
drink and then I was kind of drinking a lot
and I was being random.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Yeah. He basically like starts it off, which again is
like Demi started off her book. It was like having
touch Week.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Right, wasn't she having like Spikes Gold?
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Yes, it was like crazy having rumors Spice Gold, she was.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Like Deli girl. So he's about to meet his fucking boy,
Bob Sagat rip at the.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Palm with their generous portions.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Then he's like, okay, well let me just have like
four beers and two whiskeys alone in my house. And
then he drives to go meet Bob Zagat passes up
behind the wheel to wake up to all these fans
being like is that John Stamos passed out? And TMZ
is called.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
And they were just being like, uncle Jesse, what's wrong?
Like why are you slumped over in your bends?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
And then his sisters do gather around him and like
take him to rehab. But like then the entire book
is just about the Beach Boys.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
And then like, yeah, my issue with this book is
just like an excessive focus on the Beach Boys. Granted,
I didn't really know that John Stamos like was an
honorary member of the Beach Boys and I guess has
played with them like on tour for decades. Yeah, that's
cool for him, and it's the lifelong dream of every
Southern California boys to like play with the Beach Boys,
and like he's achieved it. So like good for him,
(19:59):
and he's being this kind of like you know, Jimmy
buffet vibe.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Which is like such an amazing like goal I think
for sitcom star. Yeah, and it's pretty cool for him,
but you are a little bit like, okay, babe, no,
like we get it, like you played with the Beach Boys.
But then he'll just be like it was nineteen eighty one,
I'm sitting with Dennis Wilson on the beach and his
(20:23):
wife glad Us. And then actually, like the Beach Boys
came on Full House and played Cookemo and I was
actually like, he says he's responsible for basically like the
Beach Boys like reintroduction into pop culture, and he makes
Cocomo go number one by like having the Beach Boys
(20:44):
on Full House, which I'm like, I guess that's awesome.
I will also give it up to like Kermit the
Frog and Miss Piggy, who I think are in the
Cocomo video.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
I do feel like it's more Kermit driven than Stamos.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Just give it up for like one of my favorite couples.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Also, then you get into like you know, the Paul
Thomas Anderson and then like all like indie movies like
using Beach Boys songs like is very.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Trail the psychedelic dark, like God only knows. I just
like that, like, well, I'll say very creepy. The song
they played as I was going under in my top
surgery was Wouldn't It Be Nice? And it was so creepy,
full cult movie where it's like the surgery and like
(21:33):
the surgeon leading over units like would it be nice
if we and it's like can you hear me? Creepy?
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Yeah, absolutely terrifying. But so I do feel like there
was just an aesthetic shift that was underway without Stamos
really spearheading it, and the Beach Boys were always gonna
kind of come back and like ultimately are like one
of the most popular bands of all time, but sure
or take credit for it?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Club celebook Club. This was like a little bit of
tea where he talks about how Dennis Wilson gave his
house en Rolls Royce to Charles Manson, right, and he
(22:25):
says in nineteen sixty eight, Dennis meets Manson, a thirty
three year old former contact and singer songwriter, believes he's
just one recording contract away from stardom. He prays on
Dennis's weakness for sex and drugs while trying to get
close to the Beach Boys. But then so he tells
his whole story and then he goes. I regret including
the Manson story in the mini series I produced for
(22:46):
ABC called The Beach Boys and American Family. The network
is insistent on including more of it. I knew this
was a dark stand in their legacy, and if I
had the experience I have now, I would have stood
up to the network. And he was being like, I
should have pushed back on this, like Manson story on
this random special I produced in twenty fourteen. You're like, no,
I don't know if anyone remembers it, but now they do,
(23:08):
because you're retelling this.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
You're talking about it, and you're just like, it's fucked
up that we're talking about it. It's like, well, you're
talking about it, or maybe you reel it in. But
I do think, like, you know, his Beechwoy obsession, I
think it kind of relates to his acceptance of his
personal level of fame. There was an interesting moment near
the beginning when he's on General Hospital and Rick Springfield
(23:32):
as in Jesse's Girl. I guess is the lead of
General Hospital, which I didn't realize.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah, and they're also semi mulleted on there.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
And like basically like General Hospital like got him very
famous and like got him into the hearts and minds
of like so many undersexed housewives across America. But Rick
sort of like is embarrassed by that and is kind
of wants to pull out, so he says Rick's at
the till end of his contract. Once out, he had
moderate success in Australia, but was a complete unknown in
America until he landed the role of doctor Noah Drake
(24:02):
in General Hospital. Then his record hits number one and
now is a giant sex symbol. Rather than credit the
hyperventilating housewives and horny teens who discovered him because of
his soap gig, he tries to disses himself from his
starmicking role to be a full time touring rock star.
I'll see this over and over again. Actors strives to
be seen by anyone, gets a break, solidified stortom, and
becomes reticent to talk about those early days of the
(24:24):
first Fancy Party with apron change and babysitting money just
sport their journeys towards success and he's like, I'm not
going to do that. He's like, cause it's the classic thing.
It's like you get famous doing something cheesy, say like
a podcast about celebrity memoirs, and then you're just like when.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
You go on to star in this really raw, gritty, scripted,
gritty series on.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Two B about aids, and you're just like, I want
everyone to notice you for that. It's like, no one
cares about your two B series, and now you've alienated
all of your original podcast friends, like trying to be pretentious,
and and then you die at thirty eight of a
kratum overdose. And that's sort of like the direction we're
headed in. And if we don't embrace our right, if we.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Don't embrace it, and that's why we are embracing it.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
And I feel like John has basically embraced it. It's like, yeah,
I'm cheesy.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
And he shares the big decisions that he So he
meets Ryan Murphy, and Ryan Murphy's like, you know, twenty four,
he's done popular and.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
John Samon's like, who is this fag?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Yeah, and he's been like he was wearing glasses, spiky hair.
We're at the Ivy and John stamosays they're being so
like everything. Also in this book seems like a scene
from Entourage in this way where it's like fictional but
reality Hollywood. He's like, has his hair slip back, sunglasses on,
leather jacket, valet.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Button down shirt like open three buttons. They're at the
Sunset Tower permanently tan.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
And he has like so many beaded bracelets and necklaces,
and he's like, all right, Ryan, what do you got form?
But even in that point he's like, I'm playing the
part of John Stamos saying what do you got for me?
And then Ryan Murphy pitches him the show. John Samus
is like this does sound good, and I'm still sketched.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
H No, it's a little show called Nip Tuck Well,
and then he goes, I'm worried that it's too demeaning
to women, so I didn't take it.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Oh no, I meant there was a show he pitched
him even before Niptok that where he was going to
play a male hooker.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Oh okay, And then he.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Is pitched Niptok and then he's like it's too demeaning
for women, which is insane.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
He is just being such a feminist and being like, no,
I won't have this faggotty show about plastic surgery.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Absolutely not. It's like he's very turning down Nip tuck.
But then doing this movie called Wedding Wars that was
like an A n E original movie where he plays
a gay wedding planner who gets all gay men who
work in like the wedding industry, whether it be hair
or planning our flowers, to go on a nationwide wedding strike.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Oh wait until gay marriage passed is legalized. Yeah, that's
so insane. How are we not watching this movie every ing?
Speaker 1 (27:19):
No, it seems like a pretty epic movie. And it's
like him and Eric Daye mixed Demi from Grey's Anatomy.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Fuck.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
You know, his heart is in the right place.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
I mean that makes sense. He's just like extremely lib.
I mean he's so Biden. He talks about like performing
with the Beach Boys, that they got a Biden rally
or something in like twenty nineteen, and he's like while
Donald Trump was spewing his bio.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Maga.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
I mean, he's like a huge friend of the gays.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
No, he is the most like and he like along
the way because he has a gay Greek manager named
like Gary's Tatopolus, but he's still being like Gary, it's
so nineties. He's like, explain it to me, man, what
is it about guys that you're into? And Gary's like,
let me put it this way. You know how you
(28:11):
feel when you see a woman?
Speaker 2 (28:14):
He's like, And when he said that, it all clicked.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
And he was like it was simple, but I got it.
Love is love, man.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Okay, can we talk about the movie I watched last night,
the John Stamos insane camp classic called Never Too Young
to Die?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Wait, Yeah, how was it mean? Simmons play is a
tea Girl.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
It's very like Rocky Horror Picture Show. The description on
the movie was just like an evil he she is
trying to steal the nuclear codes and poison LA's water supply.
You're just like, what, it's totally camp, be in ridiculous,
and it's honestly really funny. And I was like, this
(28:55):
should be like a camp classic, like Rocky Horror Picture Show.
And in the book, well he even says, I really
hope it becomes more like Rocky Horror because it's hilarious
and it's literally like Jean Simmons like stomping in heels
and like licking everyone's faces and like, also, Jean Simmons
has a fingernail that's like like a really long fingernail
(29:17):
that he uses to kill people. The movie is him,
and then the lead actress in it is this woman.
Her actress name is Vanity. Just one word, Well, so
do you know who Vanity is? Well, he says, her
real name is Denise. In the book, she was.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Like a prince girl.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Oh, she's like part of Princess Haram.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
If I'm cracked, and again, fact check me. She is
like part of Prince's Harem. She was part of the
group Vanity six. Yeah, she says. Nasty girl, nasty girl,
nasty girl.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Oh right, okay, and that's when they turned her into
nasty girl, and she was like becoming this nasty girl
and she was really nasty, so he says. So when
starting a new project, there's usually a meet and Greek
cast dinner to night. It's at a restaurant sunset Boulevard
called the Dome Mere. Moments after meeting Vanity for the
first time, she's giving me a hand job under the table,
not even sure how it starts. I'm making small talk
(30:11):
as she rearranges a napkin in my lap, and the
next thing I know, she's all in. It's exciting, but
nerve wracking. She maintains a slight smile, looks attentively at
the director who's discussing the nuance attraction between our characters
Stargrove and Danja. Nothing nuanced happening under the table. At
the same time the producer's making introductions. I hope she
doesn't shake hands with anyone. I'm like, okay, actual full
(30:34):
pimp mode activated, no full, It's very that game stone
Face where you're not allowed to react while girls blowing
you into the table.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yeah. But John Stamos even reflects being like that was
so like hot, but like he was like her father
also abused her till the day she.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Died, because he says on set, she was always like
taking the random prop guns and like firing them randomly,
like all the time, and being so like Alec Baldwin
coated and like trying to kill people. And he was
like it was a little too wild, And I totally
understand that, like with the abuse she suffered, like that
gave her a monarchy of control and like she was
trying to regain power in a sense, like being on
(31:14):
this mail set, and so I do get that. At
the same time, it did make me fear for my safety.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Oh this like is said, So she was like born
again evangelical and then like did have like an overdose. Wait,
we have to do her book. Blame it on Vandy Hollywood,
Hell in Heaven.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Okay, and she's still Christian or she's post Christian.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
She did pass in twenty sixteen from kidney failure for
doing too much cocaine, but she left her estate to
her church. Oh you know very of the eighties, you know.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Yeah, Okay, Wait, I would say the biggest shock to
me that he just casually reveals in this book is
that he had two nose jobs.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Two is insane because you're like, I would expect him
to have one.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
I mean, his nose to me, it looks like, I mean,
I guess it's a nose job nose, but it doesn't
look totally nos job kind of and so this was saying.
So he gets it done a little bit and he's like,
it was kind of weird. And then I literally went
to Michael Jackson's plastic surgeon and they finished it and
he like said he was taking a break from general
hospital to a job, and then like all those castminans
are like, uh, what kind of job are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (32:21):
And I'm like looking at the nose and it's like
is that thing where he really like didn't need it.
I mean if he was an actor today, I don't
think you would have gotten it. Is just like stronger
and a little bit longer.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
It's hard to really find photos because he was called
like big Nose Stamos in middle school and there's his
whole like origin story where this guy tries to beat
him up because his girlfriend, Stephanie's moms was into him.
And then he's like, I'm going to become so famous
that that like jock will never beat me up again.
The jock is like calling him big nose and like
writing big nose like in lipstick on the mirror in
(32:54):
the bathroom, and like the whole school is like big
Nose is going to get beat up by like Johnny Rock.
And it's like I think that stuck with him so
much that he was like, oh, I have to do this.
But I also think that big noses are much more
in these days and people like, you know, more Simian features.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
I was made fun of for having a big nose
in elementary school once, just during math class, kid said
to me, you have a really big nose.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
That seems more of like an observation, and that's like
making fun of.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
I feel like when you're ten and someone says that
like out of nowhere, like it does feel bad. I'll say, Okay.
His marriage to Rebecca Romain, which is just like so
early two thousands, and I kind of like forgot about it,
and then as I was reading, I was like, wait
a second, right, Rebecca Romain demus.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Yeah, she was like the hottest woman alive, I want
to say, for like three full years.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
And he also kind of takes credit for like pushing
her to expand from modeling to being like funny and
on X Men. So they get together right as this
time where he's also kind of considering should I finally
make my move with Lori Laughlin? But ultimately he doesn't,
and that kind of will there won't they? You know,
(34:06):
And I think it's better that they just didn't hook up, honestly.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I mean, Lori has different tastes, Like I love the
part where later in the book when they find out
Bob Sagerties. He's like, I call Lori Laughlin. She was
on the eighth hole of a golf course with her husband.
It's like she was playing golf with Massimo, Like she
was always moving in a different direction.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Yeah, it's a little more just like let me get
my like target Italian husband and we're gonna like play
golf and like have Amazon stores.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Yeah, she's like cheesy rich in country club, whereas Rebecca
Romaine is more you know, has this lust for life
that John did. But yeah, she really was like the
biggest sex symbol.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
It was like she was so hot and like Sports illustrates.
So he gets where they go to Mikas, which is
all tied in to their honeymoon, and of course, like
the beach boys play and walk them down the aisle
or like whatever. Maybe that's his second wedding, but it's
just again, it's three more about like the beach boys
giving him advice and they like are totally hungover their
(35:05):
Mikino's honeymoon. He's like, there's naked men jumping anyway, and
he's like, yeah, I actually talked to a lot of
the behind the scene guys, and yeah, let's just say
she got the cover of Sports Illustrated, and then she
got Jay Leno and then yes, she was on X Men,
and then I just wanted to read this part that
was so us where he's being like she started hanging
(35:28):
with a new crew that was shady. Oh here it
is as I'm lifting Rebecca up, I'm losing myself. Well,
we have great friends in common. She's bringing in a
new crop that throw shade, name drop and try to
outdo one another with obscure references.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
I was like, us coded, so us coded, try to
outdo one another with obscure and they're just being like,
oh my god, waite. Okay, she's being so brideboards and
she's made so marriage wars and he's like, stop talking
shit about my movie that celebrates gay marriage. Okay. So
(36:07):
they kind of have a separation and he shoots some
like shitty movie in New York City and she's kind
of not talking to him for four months, and then
she calls him and she's like, okay, like I'm redoing
our bedroom. Like I guess, let's get back together. And
then they like have this restart where they like travel
to Holland for her dad's birthday, which to me is already.
(36:30):
It's just like this isn't going well.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Like you no, when you're going to Holland.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
For your like a strange wife's dad's birthday, I don't
think you're getting back together. It's just too forced. So
they get divorced, and then he asks if he can
be the one to publicly file.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
He's so insecure, he's so emasculated because like, ye, she
becomes more famous and as the breadwinner. And also she
doesn't fight when they're like you have to pay John
this crazy sum of money.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
Yeah, She's like you do have to pay had like
back taxes or something, and she's just like give him
whatever he's owed. And then he's just like and I
want to be the one to file, and she's like fine,
I mean that's like so power move on her part.
She's a little be like I'm Rebecca Remain.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
And then basically it's so classic man where he talks
about how he wanted to have a family with her,
but obviously like actors just like are so actually having
their family when they're fifty two and meet like a
random hope yeah, And then like he proposes to his
new wife at Disney World and then he just comes
out as this like really like Disney guy.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Yeah, so that's kind of like this sort of bubbling
under because the memoir starts out with a lot of
Disneyland references. He grows up in Orange County, like they're
going to Disneyland a lot. As a kid. He talks
about taking the e ticket rides. Those are the big ones,
Space Mountain, the Matter Horn. He got his life for
the Manner Horn when he was nine years old and
like trying to like comb his hair and look cool
(37:57):
for the girls at Disneyland. And you're kind of like, okay,
so that's just like a local thing. But then by
the end he's like, yeah, like I am a huge
Disney fan. I'm proposing to my wife at Disney. She's
like an insane Disney girl. The chapter that introduces her
is called Disney Girl. It's like, okay, so you're just
like an adult Disney couple and you're putting your kids
in like so much matching, like Star Wars lunchboxes.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
And if I may read his vows, oh please, you
are every Disney princess wrapped up into one woman. You
have snow White's gentle compassion for others Cinderella has strength
over come hard times and emerges the bell of the Ball,
Aril's wit and fasty ness, Princess Jasmine's flashing dark guys,
(38:38):
the gorgeous tumbling hair for Punzel, the adventurous spirit of Pocahontas,
and Belle's ability to see the beauty in this beast
Psycho not the Rapunzel.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
I'm also just like, is is Aril so witty? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Yes, that was my question.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Like, there's one thing I remember from a Little Mermaid.
It's her wit, her undying wit.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
She's feisty.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
And then the proposal was completely insane. They're at Disneyland
and he like prepares this like special whatever like stadium
for her. We sit for a minute, cooling off, taking
in all the large screens. Then the screens begin to
glitch and the music stops. The room goes dark. She
squeezes my hand. Oh no, I say, what the hell
is going on in here? Slowly, each screen in the
room starts to flicker on and play a montage a
(39:23):
video for Caitlyn that I cut together, featuring all the
meat cutes and fallen in love moments in Disney animated
films throughout the years. So he like made this insane
super cut of just like the Beauty and the Beast
and like Aladdin meeting Jasmine, like a clip of the
adorable robot Wally, as well as Bambi, Aladam being the
Beast and more. It ends with an animation our talented
(39:44):
friend Paul Briggs put together for me as Keiths the
girls from The Little Mermaid starts to play. Sebastian holds
up a sign between his pincers that reads, go on
and ask the girl, and I get down on one knee.
I barely get out the words will you marry me?
Before Caitlyn crumples into my he arms. We're both crying
happy tears on the floor. She says, yeah. Yeah, it's like,
(40:07):
so you are a fall of Disney adult Okay, go off.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Oh that to me, it's like, yes, you love Disney.
But something is so like he wouldn't have done that
for a back. It's like being like, I'm marrying someone
younger and I'm also ready to have kids, so I'm
gonna do this whole.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Like Okay, it's I'm refinding like my childhood's side. Yeah,
by dating someone ten years younger and or like twenty years.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Younger, and she was already the pregnant. So he's being
so like, look, I'm already like ready to like watch
tons of Disney movies to dad the fuck up.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Fuller segment. How does she eat?
Speaker 1 (40:52):
What does she wear?
Speaker 2 (40:53):
How does she live?
Speaker 1 (40:55):
What does she eat?
Speaker 3 (40:57):
Like?
Speaker 2 (40:58):
He obviously like loves portions.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
But I think he is, like he looks amazing and
he's literally Greek, and I think it's no bread, Like
I think he's doing like a stunning lamb, stunning like octopus.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
You think that's his secrets, No carbs.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Yeah, And I think it's like grilled lemonee meats and fish.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
But he's like an eighties guy, like he likes bread
and he's a mama's boy. Mama's boys love bread.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
Well, he said his favorite meal to make for his
pregnant wife is huevos john stamos, which is just like
a lot of eggs and tortillas. To me, I think,
you know, he has bread when he wants to do.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
But I think he's just a little bit less red
meat now because he's a little bit like, Okay, I'm
watching my like cluster.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
Oh it's like so nineties less red meat.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
Yeah, But he's like, it's like, hello, peda. There's a
lot of pita in the high there is.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
But I think he's having more octopus. He has this
whole joke about him and Bob Saget like order carpoosy,
which is like octopus, and then they call it car pussy.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Yeah, and he's like.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
Man, we laughed. Oh wait. Also, he tells the full
Alana's tea in this book Once and for All, he lays.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
Down the word because famously, in her big hit single
You Oughtn't Know, she's talking about going down on someone
in the theater and that someone is.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
David Lee, and the way he describes it is so funny,
and it is just Dave Coolier like in his car
being like, damn, this album's really good. Guess I heard her.
But they're both just like what an amazing female rock
and roll singer. Okay, so I guess Lamb is red meat,
but it's like better for you.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
I feel like Lamb is sort of halfway between red
and right in this way right, Like, I agree with you,
it's red meat, but I do feel like it's more
health coded. I feel like Mark Bidman once was just
like there's no two ways around it, like lamb has
had a better story behind it than anything else that's
getting on your plate. Yes, because it's like lambs will
(43:05):
have had a better life and like the lamb industry
is not as despicable.
Speaker 1 (43:10):
Yes, I've heard that. Basically, what is he? He's Greek cloud.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
He's Greek. Okay, that's our incredible insight.
Speaker 1 (43:21):
Also feta salads, yes, olives.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
Docos, the sort of stale bread salad which you think
he doesn't eat because he doesn't eat bread.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
Well, he's also so like dad's cooking pancakes.
Speaker 2 (43:35):
Yes, so like he's making cornflake chicken. I disagree, but
that's so like Dad's cooking. I think he's he's so
Disney lamb.
Speaker 3 (43:45):
True.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
I guess I'm just like I thin kito's what panco is.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
Yeah, he knows, but he makes corn flake chicken. Goes
more fun.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
I'll be honest with you. No one's it for main
me corn flake chicken before.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
Oh that's that. That was one of my dad's, like
you know, four recipes growing.
Speaker 1 (44:00):
Okay, I guess that's what I'm saying. Like it's more Greek.
He's like cornfit chicken, please, grilled it with lemon and
olives and feta and ducos.
Speaker 2 (44:09):
But again, hello the diner. It's like the way he
talks about fooger enough wasn't like my mom was always
like heaving a big batch of olive oil around like
it was greasy spoon.
Speaker 1 (44:18):
No, his mom is completely epic though, and like chased
Down Sinatra and was like remember when we kissed in
Vegas and one of like Sinatra's like big, strong armed
man like stops her and is like, lady, got your pick.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
The mom seems more like wholesome than that, though, we
because he's always sharing these notes that she writes in
these little handwritten notes where she's just like Johnny, baby,
I love you more than the sun, moon and stars.
You're everything a mommy could ever want. Yeah, I hope
you know how loved you are and how grateful we
are that you're so successful. That's like big kisses and
hugs always forever. And it's like he's forty two and
(44:56):
he's getting that letter in the mail.
Speaker 1 (44:57):
Well, I believe, but that's the same type of mom
that does Chased Down Sinatra. She's so like autographed book
about it.
Speaker 2 (45:03):
It's autograph book vibes. And that's again why I don't
think she's so olive oil, and so I don't think
and I think he is more cornflike chicken, and that's kirking.
Speaker 1 (45:12):
Well, we'll go to his Malibu pad with his beautiful
Disney wife and see what they're cooking up.
Speaker 2 (45:18):
Okay, what does he wear? Just like he's so Macy's,
He's so Macy's.
Speaker 1 (45:23):
Like he's also so suitsupply, Like he has like so
many different suits. Like he's like, let me grab the
blue blazer and like put on this cream blazer. And
it's always just like black, button up shirt, open chest hair.
Speaker 2 (45:38):
Yeah, buttonup shirt open. The man does not have a tie.
Speaker 1 (45:41):
No, he like started the tie list kind of ninety
sexy man ways. And obviously his full house style was
pretty epic, leather vess boots.
Speaker 2 (45:55):
His more Phonsie style because Pansie was another big like
inspiration for him. But like all, he's now more Zegna
coded and more Obama vibes. How do they live? I
guess the question is to what extent their Disney addiction is,
Like President has taken over?
Speaker 1 (46:10):
Was I feel like before he had this like Malibu
bachelor pad and it was overlooking the ocean, he'd have
like the Olsen Twins over like.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
No, and it was so like shag carpeting and like
Boogie Nights and he was like fucking every Chicken Hollywood,
like between Rebecca and Caitlin.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
But now I think like it is a little more
like Wayfar and Disney because like he's married and it's
like kid safe.
Speaker 2 (46:34):
Okay, it's kid safe, and there's like outlook covers. So
is the Disney happening where there's like it's more like
my aunt and uncle Mickey and Donald who have like
a full room of insane and yes those are their
real names, who have a whole room of been saying
like McDonald's like for Disney chochkeys or is it more
(46:55):
like he has like one vintage original Mickey Mouse like
animation cell that's like framed, yes, and it's super like chic.
Speaker 1 (47:05):
I was literally about to say cell because once I
went to this like guy's house who's actually like he
invented sports betting and like now does have a podcast
on barstool and his whole house I'll say his name's
tou Finer, and his whole house was like Finstone cells
and it was like really.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
White spencer that sounds like in a horder way, like
you're saying there's cells everywhere, and I feel like that
was so like big heavy furniture and so long island.
I'm like, this to me is like maybe he's more
one cell one cell and it's like chic and it's
not being so like oh and then he's played out
so many bins and being like and this is my
original nineteen sixty five mini mouse. No.
Speaker 1 (47:46):
I think Stamos is like since he is so beach
boys in Sinatra, Like he has a crazy office man
room that is like beautifully decorated, but it's like so
many photos of him with the beach boys, that photo
of him and Sinatra that his father wouldn't get in
because his father was too prideful. And then like in
the bedroom is maybe some like you know, gorgeous wedding
(48:10):
photos and then like a few frame photos of them
with their daughter at Disney, and then one cell.
Speaker 2 (48:15):
I think you're right that it's more wayfair and there's
a lot of throws and it's a lot of beige
and kind of like high backed chairs. I think that
it's high.
Speaker 1 (48:24):
Bed, high bed high.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
Calyn's a little Disney girl. She wants to be in
a big princess bed, absolutely, and she can let her
Rapunzel like hair down from.
Speaker 1 (48:35):
And let that ril whit of hers go wid.
Speaker 2 (48:39):
Okay, this book ultimately was who are you in the book?
Speaker 1 (48:43):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (48:43):
Sorry, jump ahead, I'm serial killer Richard Ramire.
Speaker 1 (48:49):
Okay. I was gonna say I'm John Samos because I'm
such a fan and always I trying to be like
Sinatra and the Beach Boys. But actually i think I'm
a little more Lorettas, and I'm already have the photo
with Sinatra and I'm chasing him down again being we remember,
(49:09):
and then like Jilly Rizzo is stopping me.
Speaker 2 (49:12):
Yes, no, fair enough, And in reality I'm maybe a
little bit more Lori Laughlin, where I am bravely going
to jail for two months you wish for tax evation.
Speaker 1 (49:29):
And I'm like, people are talking shit. I'm like, you, guys,
Steve is really brave. Okay. No one would have handled
that like he did.
Speaker 2 (49:37):
He could have thrown his friends and family under the bus,
but he decided to protect his daughters.
Speaker 1 (49:44):
And that's what's so beautiful, not to be crazy. I
give this book like it's a classic celebrity memoir in
this way where crazy. I'm already crazy. I'm giving it.
Speaker 2 (49:57):
I know you're about to go crazy.
Speaker 1 (49:58):
Three three point eight Greek big good portions at the
Palms out of five. Like, I just have a lot
of fun, like reading all the kind of just like
anecdotes about full House and like auditioning for random shows,
you know, I love those, you know, just like random
(50:19):
Hollywood details.
Speaker 2 (50:20):
Like I liked that it was honesty. I liked him
just being like Mary Kay was better at the dramatic scenes,
Ashley was better at the comedic ones like that, and
that makes so much sense, by the way, But I
I guess I give this book two point six duuys
out of five just because it's way too much Beach
Boys ultimately, like it's you know, he's a nice guy,
(50:44):
and I think the personality shines through, and that's great.
Speaker 1 (50:48):
It's great for him. I guess I didn't mind what
I'm kind of saying. I was like, I didn't mind
half of those book being about the Beach Boys, and
it let me dive into some Beach Boys albums I
haven't listened to yet.
Speaker 2 (50:59):
So just wish it were just a little bit more
like detailed. When he's saying that he likes the portion
size that the palms like I wanted him to be
a little bit more like Lori Laughlin was wearing like
a red as Adalayah crop.
Speaker 1 (51:15):
I guess at the end of the day he is,
You're like, wait, but could he be coaching?
Speaker 2 (51:21):
Could he be kay just describing the people's outfits more.
But I'm also grateful that this book got me to
watch the totally ridiculous should be a cult classic eighties
movie called Never Do Young to Die. What you should
see John Samus, You're an all right dude.
Speaker 1 (51:35):
You're an awesome dude, and you like are my brother,
and like fuck yeah, keep on plugging and like, can't
wait to see what CBS to coump you do next.
Speaker 2 (51:45):
