Transcript

[Sufi]

Hey, Pashi.

[Pashi]

Hey, Sufi.

[Sufi]

So exciting. I know we keep telling our listeners this is happening before Josh gets married, but this is the last one we're recording before you get married.

[Pashi]

Right. When this comes out, I will be married.

[Sufi]

Right. But there is a forthcoming episode where we'll actually get to talk about your wedding. And man, oh, man, that's gonna be the intro of the year. Also, don't be mad. We have a sponsor for that episode.

[Pashi]

Oh, yeah? What's that?

[Sufi]

Ogilvy. Ogilvy and Jones. Divorce lawyers. And I know you're like, why would you let them? But look. Money, money, money, money, money. That's why. Money, money, money.

[John Stamos]

Hi.

[Sufi]

I keep feeling like I've asked you so many times, but we're. I mean, we're recording this, like, you know, four days out of the festivities.

[Pashi]

Yeah. But I feel like we've also. We've tried to do this math a couple times, and, like, there was one. There was an intro, a couple back where you tried to play it forward, and you were like, you're getting married in five days.

[Sufi]

Yeah. No. So just don't worry about it. Just know we're really excited. Poshi's getting married. Everybody's rolling in hot.

[Pashi]

Yeah. People are excited.

[Sufi]

Super excited. And I know we're gonna try to keep, you know, the location a bit of a secret because we don't want the trippers showing up. Is that what we decided we were gonna call them? Trippers. Tripsters.

[Pashi]

Trippers or Tripsters.

[Sufi]

Tripsters. Well, at this point.

[Pashi]

Again, at this point, it's already happened.

[Sufi]

Right. But if you have time travel, Times Square, Dave and Busters.

[Pashi]

Upstairs, private room. Upstairs.

[Sufi]

The upstairs. Yeah. They're not gonna, like. They're not gonna riffraff it in the main room. Upstairs. Skeeball. Oh, my God, so much skee ball at your wedding. It was so cool. Anyway, can't wait.

[Pashi]

Yeah, yeah. Speaking of skeeball, I was telling you this earlier. I've. I. I love lawn games, and you love lawn games.

[Sufi]

I love a lawn game.

[Pashi]

Mackenzie, my now wife, not as big a fan of lawn games, but there's sort of.

[Sufi]

She likes it on asphalt. She just doesn't.

[Pashi]

She likes hanging out and she'll play a game. She's not above playing a game. But I have ordered so many games for this wedding. There's a Saturday afternoon, and I sort of want there to be something for people to do if they just want to hang out and sort of be in a place. So my idea is you come to the hotel and we're going to have all these games. So I've ordered. I think I ordered like $600 worth of lawn games that I had sent to mom and Dad's house. And dad sent a picture of the living room of all of these boxes and said, rent a bigger van because I'm gonna have a lot of stuff to bring out there.

[Sufi]

We're gonna need a bigger van. Draws. So Mulky.

[Pashi]

Mulky's in there?

[Sufi]

Yeah, Mulkie. For those who don't know Norwegian, where's Mulky from?

[Pashi]

I think it's Danish.

[Sufi]

Mulky is a Danish lawn game that Josh, in his great researching of lawn games, discovered years ago.

[John Stamos]

Yeah.

[Sufi]

It's an all timer. If you're looking for a new. If you're looking to switch it up on your lawn games next summer, run, don't walk to your nearest molkie distributor.

[Pashi]

M O, L, K, E, M O with an umlaut. L K. Yeah. There are a lot of. There are a lot of impersonators out there. Yeah. But I like.

[Sufi]

If it don't got the umlat, it ain't Molki. And check, because some of the knockoffs have three little dots.

[Pashi]

It's. Yeah, and that's not even a thing. Hold your O down on your keyboard and you're not going to see anything with three dots.

[Sufi]

Is that how you get a umlaut? You throw? You hold your O down?

[Pashi]

Yeah. You hold any letter down and you'll get all the variations.

[Sufi]

Get out of town. Look at me. Learn new stuff. Learning new stuff on family trips. Get out of town. What a thing. Everybody's running in hot. Lot of fun people. Can't wait speeches. My kids are gonna wear suits. I was a little worried. I think she's recovered, but this weekend was Rosh Hashanah. Shana Tova Pashi. That means Goodyear.

[Pashi]

Yeah, I think Shana Tovah. But sure. Shana Tova to you.

[Sufi]

Shanana. Who's Shanana? Is that?

[Pashi]

That's a band.

[Sufi]

So we were getting together and we went on a walk with our friends and we had some challah for the end of the walk for the kids.

[Pashi]

Yeah.

[Sufi]

And it was like we went on like a nature walk. And so we had a challah.

[Pashi]

It's a nice bread. Nice Jewish bread.

[Sufi]

Nice Jewish bread. We had honey to dip the challah in, which, of course, the kids were very excited about. Addie had so literally had covered her face in honey. And then. What do you think is the worst thing that could happen if you're a kid? With your face covered in honey, you.

[Pashi]

Fall down in the dirt.

[Sufi]

No, a bee fully just came over and sat on her lip and stung her. And it was like. I was like the most classic asking for it. She literally was like, yeah. It was like she was a bee trap.

[Pashi]

Yeah.

[Sufi]

And her lip just ballooned right up. But in a really, like, fortunately already back down. We put some ice on it, but it was a real, like balloon animal lower lip. And she looked at pictures and thought it was really funny. So it wasn't like she was crying or anything. She liked her balloon lip.

[Pashi]

I feel like that's how you gotta find out if you're allergic to bees, is you gotta get stung.

[Sufi]

You gotta honey face it. Honey face it. I don't know.

[Pashi]

You gotta do that.

[Sufi]

Honey face it and. And find out. So she's very excited. Boys are very excited. I'm very excited. Lexi's very excited. We can't believe it. Can't believe it. This day is finally upon us.

[Pashi]

Yeah. Mackenzie's niece and nephew, Grayson and Charlie apparently are like. Mackenzie says it's very cute how excited they are.

[Sufi]

How old are they? Grace and Charlie?

[Pashi]

They're like 13 and 15. I want to say something like that. Or 12 and 14. I think 13 and 15. But. But I love that age because there's gonna be no one that age at the wedding. But they're still excited.

[Sufi]

Great. So, yeah, I believe you are gonna have a day in New Hampshire. One of the things you're planning on doing is rehearsing your first dance with mom.

[Pashi]

We haven't talked about this, but yeah, I think that's in order.

[Sufi]

Great. Yeah, that'll be exciting.

[Pashi]

Yeah. She had suggested something. A song. I don't want to give anything away, but she had suggested a song. She's like, no. She was like, I feel like this is a good song. Cause you can just like frippers your armies around, which means just sort of flail your arms around and there has to be no plan dancing. And I suggested something else that requires a bit more choreography. But I think we're gonna do well. I will say we're at the time of recording this less than a week out. Mackenzie and I do not know what our first dance is really. We've never had a song. We have to decide. We have a great friend, Catherine Burns, who's an Emmy winning choreographer, and we had great plans of working with her to sort of knock it out of the park. And we will not have time for that.

[Sufi]

So why don't you just. Is it crazy? For don't be mad for me suggesting. But, like, should it be the family trips theme song? Is that just to get it out there.

[Pashi]

It's also nice and quick.

[Sufi]

Nice and short. Yeah. I mean, just as someone who's been in a wedding, if the first dance was just like family chips with the mind. Give it up for the first dance, everybody.

[Pashi]

And here we go. Here we go. Yeah, it's not a bad idea. I'll pitch it.

[Sufi]

Great. Well. Can't believe it. My little baby brother.

[Pashi]

Little baby. Plenty old enough, brother.

[Sufi]

Plenty old enough. But he's still my baby brother. He's a big day coming up. But first we have. Because, again, let me say something. Marriage is come and go. The podcast never stops. So we do still have an episode for you. John Stamos, everybody. Yeah.

[Pashi]

He's like. He's like a big brother.

[Sufi]

He is like a big brother. Smooth and silky voice.

[Pashi]

Yeah. Really?

[Sufi]

I feel like sometimes when I talk and I'm thirsty for your affection, that guy is in the pocket. He just sets. He just sits back and lets it come to him.

[Pashi]

Yeah.

[Sufi]

Are you excited to see me?

[Pashi]

Yeah, very much so.

[Sufi]

I just felt like that was like. There was, like, a lull, and I felt like that was a good time for you to say, I'm really excited to see you.

[Pashi]

Oh, I didn't hear there's jackhammering in my building, which you can't hear on the podcast, but it's rough in here right now.

[Sufi]

They say that's like good luck before a wedding is if you're Jack Hammer. If your neighbor is just jackhammering through the walls.

[Pashi]

Well, I will say Mackenzie is a huge Aerosmith fan, and it feels like the beginning of dude looks like a Lady over here.

[Sufi]

Oh, that's pretty cool.

[Pashi]

Yeah.

[Sufi]

Pretty bad would be a pretty bad first dance song. Dude, Looks Like a Lady might be worst one ever.

[Pashi]

Yeah, probably. Probably.

[Sufi]

Yeah. All right. I love you. I will see you in.

[John Stamos]

This is.

[Sufi]

I think the listeners will like this. I will see you in four days, which is 17 days ago.

[Pashi]

They're going to love it.

[Sufi]

They're gonna love it. All right, but first, you're gonna love a Jeff Tweedy first dance song at Poshy's wedding with two MacKenzie. Here it is. Picture them dancing while you listen.

[John Stamos]

Family trips with the Myers brothers. Family chips with the My Miss Brothers. Here we go. What about it, gentlemen?

[Sufi]

Look, there he is.

[John Stamos]

Man. You got one look like a shock jock. Super talented and one super handsome. And you guys pick who. Sufi or Foofy?

[Sufi]

I'm Sufi.

[Pashi]

I'm poshy.

[Sufi]

I'm foofy.

[John Stamos]

How does poshy. I mean, poshi. I get from Joshi.

[Sufi]

Yep.

[John Stamos]

Sufi is from what? Poofy? I mean, from.

[Sufi]

Sufi is from an ancient text.

[John Stamos]

Okay.

[Sufi]

And, no, Sufi is because my mom. It's a long story, but it's because my mom has bad penmanship and at one time looked like. Yeah, yeah.

[Pashi]

It's actually excellent penmanship. It's just people don't understand how to read cursive anymore.

[Sufi]

Yeah, that's true.

[John Stamos]

You guys are both talented. Sorry, I'm at Disneyland.

[Sufi]

Okay, good. That's what we wanted to ask. Did you now were you led to believe that in order to do this podcast, you actually had to be on a family trip?

[John Stamos]

Yeah, that's what we did. And I was upstairs and I just left my. Cause it's Oogie Boogie Night here at Disneyland. So we were up late and my kid ate a big just gigiant bag of candy. I don't know about your wives, but do they. Are you married, Josh? I'm sorry.

[Pashi]

I'm gonna be married by the time this comes out. I will be married. And as we're recording it, I'm not. I'm getting married in six days.

[John Stamos]

Seth, can we talk? I mean, should we talk to him about this?

[Sufi]

Yeah, well, I'm happy to talk about. Well, if you wanna talk more about sugar and candy, I feel like.

[John Stamos]

Right. So. Yeah. So he. They were up late and. Oh, but no, but the wife always yells at, like, at me for, like, if he stays up, you know, if I bring him home or get him ready, like at 7, you know, instead of 7, I'm in big trouble. But, you know, we're up till midnight last night with bags of candy, and it's. The whole thing has just been, you know, great.

[Sufi]

But she didn't fight it. She was okay. Like, basically diplomatic immunity. Cause he's at Disneyland.

[John Stamos]

Cause she's at Disneyland.

[Sufi]

Ah, right.

[John Stamos]

So I had to scramble to find a room this morning. And this is a Disneyland room.

[Pashi]

I will say, of all the rooms at Disneyland, it looks like you might be in the worst.

[John Stamos]

I think I'm in the. This is the bathroom. I know. There's a. You can see a toilet, and I can see Mickey Mouse.

[Pashi]

It's very tech. Heck, it doesn't look like it's fun for kids.

[Sufi]

No, it does not.

[John Stamos]

Well, there was a big, beautiful cartoon there, and I thought, okay, this will be good. And it's not. I am so. I am such a fan of both of you. Guys. More Josh than the other guys.

[Sufi]

Sure, sure. That's fair.

[Pashi]

That happens.

[John Stamos]

I've become obsessed with you, Seth. For the last, I don't know, like, 10 years. I was never into politics. And then I was sort of forced into. Because of. And you're a genius. And then I started doing a deep dive on your brother, and I was like, oh, that's. You're just ripping.

[Sufi]

He's the genius. Yeah, he's the genius. I just. Yeah, you. By the way, you sound like. And with your glasses, you sound like you had the. Like, Just went hard at Disneyland last night.

[John Stamos]

I don't go hard anymore. I mean, it's just.

[Pashi]

You had a real Mr. Toad. Took you on a wild ride.

[Sufi]

Wild ride. You had full Mr. Toad last night.

[John Stamos]

No, I'm just saying that you guys are both extremely talented, and I've always. I think, Seth, that you're one of the underrated impressionists. But then I see your brother, and that's sort of where you got a lot of it, too, right?

[Sufi]

It is, it is. I'm in a rare case where I learned a lot from the. From a younger brother.

[John Stamos]

I mean, he's. Both of you guys are. And the newsome bit. I didn't realize that that was you.

[Pashi]

No.

[Sufi]

Crazy, right?

[John Stamos]

Yeah. I want to do Matt Gaetz. I'm going to text Kimmel. Is it Kimmel you're on or Fallon?

[Pashi]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sufi]

Oh, you'd be a good Gates.

[John Stamos]

I just need to get slammed in the head, like, right in this area with this shovel.

[Sufi]

To be honest, I've got the forehead for Gates. You've got the hair. So I can. How old is your. You have a child at Disneyland who's six?

[John Stamos]

He's six. Yeah.

[Sufi]

And is it. Would you say six is a good age for Disneyland? Is that what you're finding so far?

[John Stamos]

Have you not brought your kids to Disneyland yet?

[Sufi]

I haven't brought my kids to Disneyland yet.

[John Stamos]

It's child abuse.

[Sufi]

Well, I don't know. They're not quite. We were talking about doing it this April, and they're eight, six and three.

[John Stamos]

Okay, okay, okay. All boys. Do you have all three boys?

[Sufi]

A little girl, eight. Boy, boy, girl.

[John Stamos]

Six is a great. I mean, do they watch Disney stuff? Like, are they into the movies and stuff? You know, all the characters around? You're in the east coast, right? So I would go to Disney World first. It's been a. You know, it's been a. It's a. I grew up near here. I'm in Anaheim, and it was just the most Wonderful childhood. You know, I like, it was. This was my backyard. It was Disneyland.

[Sufi]

And did you go a lot?

[John Stamos]

Oh, all the time, yeah. And it's moments like I was there last night and I looked over at the Matterhorn, I was like, oh my God, if I could go back to the 13 year old me standing in line with more zits than friends. My dad's Members Only jacket that was lathered in Aramis cologne that I used trying to pick up chicks. He's like, it's gonna be okay. One day you'll get a girl too. You won't have to stand in line. I have the Disneyland sign, the actual sign that was out in front of Disneyland. People just drive by now. Cause there's no sign there. But I bought that years ago at an auction.

[Sufi]

When you were 13. So when was the first time did you ever go to Disneyland without your parents? At what age were you doing that?

[John Stamos]

Yeah, that was probably around there. My friend Mike is a little older than me and he had a 280Z, so as soon as he could drive, we would take that. And I was staying in the Disneyland hotel yesterday and I remembered my mom, it was the first night we got to spend the night away from our parents. And yeah, I was like 13, he was maybe 14. And my mom ordered up from room service a big thing of popcorn and two Diet Cokes. And that was wow. You know, like just getting back to that innocence of travel, which you guys talk about a lot on here and you know, that kind of thing. It's just like, I wish my son's like, where's the minibar? You know, where's the. That's this basket that. We got a bigger basket at the other hotel. I was like, yeah.

[Sufi]

Did you. Was your friend 14 when he was driving the 280Z around?

[John Stamos]

No.

[Sufi]

I feel like you guys were living a real rebels life.

[John Stamos]

Oh yeah. Out here in Orange County. No, he was probably just 16. His dad had this van, I remember too. He would take us here and drop us off before he could drive. And on the side of it he had a big frog that said Ribbit.

[Pashi]

Oh, nice.

[Sufi]

I would say if I saw a couple kids getting into a Ribbit van in the Disneyland parking lot, I would just call the cops.

[John Stamos]

Call the cops? Yeah, Back then they didn't have cops. I don't think it was just.

[Sufi]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true. I think California got cops later, right?

[Pashi]

Were you troublemakers in the park at that age? Like at some point you're not just like little Kids, you know, oogling all the wonder of it all. And at some point, you're rapscallions.

[John Stamos]

Yeah, I think our biggest. Well, yeah, no, we were just. I was just reaching puberty and there was a lot of. You know, I think one time. Yeah, there was. They had these sky buckets and I don't think they caught us, but we would go into the bathroom. Kids don't. Well, they don't have them anymore. So these sky buckets, you would go. We'd go to the bathroom and steal a roll of toilet paper. And we get about halfway through and we would just. And then throw it out. So we were basically toilet papering the Matterhorn, which was highly not cool.

[Sufi]

It seems like that would be. It would be very easy to catch you if you did that.

[John Stamos]

Yeah, right. I think. Yeah, we did get away with that one. They do have. I don't think I was ever in it, but they talk about Disney jail when I was. Oh, no, I remember I was on. I think I was on General Hospital, and my dad had this El Camino. It just started. And we would come to Disneyland. I'll never forget. We were on a double date, me and another friend of mine, Phil Bardwell, and we were driving in the El Camino and we had a six pack of beer. We were all underaged. We couldn't drink, no seat belts. Because my dad didn't. You dad with seatbelts. And there was four of us. You pulled over. Cop said I should arrest you for drinking. Contributing minors. You're all underage. I didn't think I didn't have my license on me. He said, or, you know, you can go pour the beer out around the corner and just, you know, get to Disneyland and knock, you know, and we have four people in there, and we didn't even pour the beer out. Like dummies. We drank it and then we went to the park. That was about it.

[Pashi]

Took you at your word.

[John Stamos]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Sufi]

Hey, we're gonna take a quick break and hear from some of our sponsors. Support for family trips comes from Airbnb. Hey, Baji.

[Pashi]

Yes, Sufi.

[Sufi]

We got our Pittsburgh trip coming up.

[Pashi]

We do. I'm fired up. And one of the reasons I'm fired up is because once again, we have booked an awesome Airbnb and we're just going to be hanging out in one of Dad's old neighborhoods. Dad's old stomping grounds.

[Sufi]

Look, we used to stay at hotels. It was great. No complaints about it. But this is something special because we're a family. And I feel like last year at our Airbnb, it felt like the way we were family when we were growing up, we would all just meet downstairs, we would get some bagels from a local place down the street, brew some coffee, and we were just ready to face the day.

[Pashi]

Yeah. And if you, you know, if we're out and about and we get home, you might want to just throw on the TV and see if there's a game on or play some Scrabble, play a board game, and just be in that shared space and be together. Being a home away from home and.

[Sufi]

Being in a living room with mom and dad is very special. Especially not their living room, which is covered in dog dander and gives me an allergic reaction. Some trips are better in an Airbnb.

[Pashi]

Thank you, Sufi.

[John Stamos]

Here we go.

[Sufi]

I have a question about. You're very young when you're on General hospital, right? Still 19, 20.

[John Stamos]

Yeah, I was 19, I think. Yeah.

[Sufi]

Were you? Because I'm just trying to think of like the people who watch soap operas. Like who was recognizing you in your early years in General Hospital.

[John Stamos]

Well, that's. But that was the height of it. And you know, kids were rearranging their college schedules and so it was young girl. I would do these car shows.

[Sufi]

So it was. That's amazing. So the dream era to be on a soap.

[John Stamos]

Totally. I mean, there was 35 million people watching that show every day. And it was like, you know, and it was right as I was, you know, I was going from the caterpillar to the butterfly and I did. So I didn't really even think of myself as good. I mean, I wanted girls so bad. I wanted, you know, and I was. I was a nerdy kid in junior high and high school. I wanted to be a stuntman or I did magic and puppets and those things are not chick magnet type thing.

[Sufi]

Yeah, no, no, stuntman. Okay. Like I would say if you were like, I do stuntman. Girls would be like, uh huh. And you're like. And puppets. And they'd be like, oh, yeah, right, right.

[John Stamos]

The puppets always ruin everything. But I would do the stunt. And so, you know, and there was always someone who wanted to beat me up for some reason, which I just have this. The book I did is coming out on paperback this month. And I added a chapter of Just People over the years. Not people, but mainly two that wanted to kill me. Always. There was always some of them. But it started there where I had this bully guy and I was again, like, it was right, maybe it was 12th 13. I was just about to graduate and again, I was just starting to kind of grow into some sort of look, whatever it was. And I was at this block party and it was like a. There was a bunch of houses and I was at the end, you know, I was at this crappy party where the nerd, you know, not the cool, you know, like Animal House or whatever, and some guy, this nerdy kid. No, during the day I'm in marching band, which is also, you know, not that cool. And this other nerdy kid said, hey, this girl wants to go out with you. And I'm like, what? And I remember, stop. We were practicing. I remember stopping and the trombones hit me. And I said, you got to be kidding me.

[Sufi]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[John Stamos]

And he says, don't tell anybody. Okay? So I'm at this party that night. I tell everybody that this girl wants to go out with me. She was the hottest girl. And it just goes down each, like a telephone, you know, each house. Each house. And by the time it hit the jock area where her boyfriend was, you know, so I'm at the nerd party in a car talking to a friend and knock, knock, knock at the window and he goes, roll the window. Okay, roll it down. Bam. Punched me right in the eye. This, wow, big black eye. And I was like, it was the most humiliating, awful thing to this day, I can feel it. And I remember walking into the bathroom and I looked at myself and he had written on there, I'm going to kill you, big nose. And I was like, that's not nice.

[Sufi]

He wrote it on the bathroom wall knowing you would then go to that bathroom.

[John Stamos]

Yeah, there wasn't many bathrooms and it.

[Sufi]

Wasn'T like I got credit to a jock. I feel like that's like a multi step process that I.

[John Stamos]

He didn't spell anything right, but he was, it was.

[Sufi]

And nose was K, N, O, W, S. Yeah.

[John Stamos]

So I was like, oh no wait, I'm. And then I just, I looked at, I said I gotta do something drastic. I gotta do something. We didn't have guns back then or anything, but I had to do. And I remember saying, I gotta get famous. I gotta get famous. And that way I'll show him. So to this day I wanted to dedicate the book to him. I didn't because the publishers wouldn't let me because I was going to call him Small Wiener or something because I can't remember his name. But he like each milestone in my career I remember thinking like, I'm going to show him. I'm going to get on TV and then I'm going to have bodyguards and they're going to. I'm going to play with the Beach Boys, I'm going to invite them to a concert and in the middle of my drum solo I'm going to go get them boys. And they would beat them up and I would drive off into the limo and wave at him and that would be that. But that didn't never happen.

[Sufi]

Well, you know, there's still.

[Pashi]

I think you did pretty well. And you do. You've got this memoir that you just mentioned. The paper paperback just came out. If you would have told me insane reviews on Audible. Like I feel like a book like this is. I mean if I'm a reader. But I do love memoirs and autobiographies to be read by the person who's written them. And you read yours and it's Yeah. I mean, people. People love it.

[Sufi]

Now, I have a question. You mentioned that you added stuff when you put out the paperback where the publisher. Did the publisher say, hey, Johnny, we'd love to put a little more sauce in here for the paperback. Anybody ever tried to kick your ass? Like, how did it come up that you added stuff?

[John Stamos]

Yeah, my publisher was Guido. His name was. Hey, Johnny.

[Sufi]

Hey, Johnny, I'm trying to move some books here.

[John Stamos]

No, I had, like, two or three publishers. And by the way, like, I know you guys are both incredible writers. Have you written probably not memoirs yet, Right? You're too young.

[Sufi]

One day I would like to write.

[John Stamos]

Would you?

[Sufi]

But I would like to write Josh's memoir. And it's called. It's called He'll Write My Memoir.

[Pashi]

I won't read it, but it's gonna.

[Sufi]

Be called the Best Brother. I had the Best brother.

[John Stamos]

I wanna get back to what we were talking about. But I just love your relationship. I love your parents on the show. And what'd you say?

[Sufi]

I was like. Well, you said I wanted to get back to what I was talking about. I thought you meant you, but now you're actually being generous. You were being generous about us.

[John Stamos]

I know, but after I talk about you, I wanna get back to talking about me.

[Sufi]

Yeah, yeah, of course.

[John Stamos]

I just love your reli. I just love the two of you. I love that you're so close, that you support each other, and I love your parents when they come on the show. And I was very close to my parents, too. See how I. So that's great. Sufi.

[Sufi]

And I wanna ask a question. Cause I feel like I haven't. Look, of the Greek Americans I've met.

[John Stamos]

Yes.

[Sufi]

Greek people are so proud of you. True or false?

[John Stamos]

Well, yeah, but there's only a few. You know, there's.

[Sufi]

That's what I mean, though.

[John Stamos]

Yeah.

[Sufi]

We had Vardalos on the show. Huge deal in Grease.

[John Stamos]

Yeah.

[Sufi]

She is Tina Fey. Huge deal.

[John Stamos]

Tina Fey is incredible. Obviously, you know that. We were. It was. It was Mean Girls Day the other day. And they were like, you have to do something on social media. But I'm like, why? Well, they talk about you in there. Like, oh, they said. I sat next to. And I think it became. Because I sat. Because I was somewhere with Tina and I just met her. Maybe Disney. She loves Disney. And I said, you're really pretty. And so she put in John Stanley sat next to me on a plane and said I was really pretty.

[Sufi]

Did your dad. Was he first generation or was he born in Greece?

[John Stamos]

No, Second generation. My grandfather was. And, you know, Ellis island, they cut it. Was Stamatopoulos cut it? I don't know. Stamatopos.

[Sufi]

Gotcha.

[John Stamos]

But the bully thing. May we talk about that real quick?

[Sufi]

Yeah, we can come back to bully.

[John Stamos]

I think you would. Have fun. So. No, nobody. They didn't do that. But they were. I had quite a few editors that kept switching around, and very few because.

[Sufi]

You were too hard to deal with. How do you get. Why do they keep switching editors?

[Pashi]

We're not printing this. Take a walk, please.

[John Stamos]

Well, I didn't think I had a book in me. I can barely spell. I'm like the bully guy with.

[Sufi]

Did they come to you? Did somebody come to you and say, we do think you have a book in you?

[John Stamos]

Yes. Prod you? Yeah. And I said, no. And then, no way. I didn't. First, I didn't think I was interesting enough, and second, I just am not. I like to write, but not, you know, not memoirs. And then I became a dad. Excuse me. You know, in my mid-50s. And I thought, okay, maybe that's something to talk about. And then Saget died, and that was it. I just went, bleh. I had so much to say. I opened the book the night I went to meet Saget, and it was a little over nine years ago, and I got a dui, and he was waiting for me at the Palm and didn't care that I was, you know, almost. I was in a hospital. I go, come on. We ordered the appetizers. And I end it with Bob. So I figured that was a place. And then I just started. I found that I did have a story. And also, I started out sort of bullshitting my way through it. I did this, and I did that, and I was like, this is no good. Because I like to read and listen to audiobooks, too, and memoirs and biographies. And so I came across this line. Anything less than the truth is paralysis. And then I just started talking about it. But the most. You know, and maybe someday you guys will. I got to talk about my parents, and they're both gone now. And I got to talk about my influences and my mentors. I started with Jack Klugman was my first mentor. And then Gary Marshall and Don Rickles, until the day he died, was like my second father. And so I got to say thank you to all those people in this book. Not that they're around, but. And it just. That. That made me really happy to be able to do that. The new chapter was. They didn't say, did anybody Try to kill you. But I written it and then I took it out because it was long. But I had a death threat when I was on Full House, and that was pretty scary. But then I started, I was thinking about, there was always someone like this bully in high school who I should go find. So I met the China Club. Do you remember that? In New York, Maybe you guys do.

[Pashi]

I don't remember that, no.

[John Stamos]

I'm in the China Club with Ken Schreiner, who was on a soap opera with me, and. And Ray Liotta, for some reason came over, and we're sitting at this bar and in walks Mickey Rourke and his ripped talent. And he's with some girl that I used to date. And she comes over to talk to me. I said, oh, man, you're doing great. That guy's really cool. And blah, blah, blah. I'd love to meet him. Oh, okay, great. He's a little old, isn't he? Like, how old is he? She goes back and tells him that I said this. And so all of a sudden I'm drinking, and all of a sudden I hear this bam, cry. What's going on? He was like, they were in the vip, the manager comes, you gotta leave. I said, why? Mickey Rourke wants to kill you. What? Why? I don't know, but he's a hothead and the guy's a boxer. And this was in the 90s when he was ripped, you know? And I'm like, I'm not going anywhere. My friend said, I know him. Let me go talk. And meanwhile, Leota, who wasn't on, was before Goodfellas, but he had that maniacal laugh. He's like, stan wants. Don't leave. Stand your ground. You could kick his ass, you know, egged him. And my friend comes back, goes, we gotta go. I go, I'm not leaving. Goes, he just broke a bottle and he wants to slice your face open. I said, okay, let's go. So. But for 10 years, this went on everywhere I went. Mickey Rourke wants to kill you.

[Sufi]

Mickey Rourke had a 10 year vendetta against you.

[John Stamos]

Yeah, maybe. Still to this day, I don't. I just.

[Sufi]

Yeah, that's true.

[John Stamos]

Ten years was just what I came up with. But it could be 25 years. So there was always that, you know. And.

[Sufi]

Yeah, Mickey Rourke was the only guest I ever had on the show where at any point I thought he might just get up and leave mid interview. He didn't seem aggravated or anything. He just seemed like he could take it or leave it the whole time, you know? And it was. The framing of it was less interesting to him than maybe it was to the rest of us. What was your Garry Marshall? Where did you work with Garry Marshall?

[John Stamos]

You guys are like this. Cause writers. My first I left, I was on General Hospital and I was very successful and you know. You guys talk about your parents a lot. My dad, I worked at my dad's restaurant and he wanted me to take over the business and go to college.

[Sufi]

Greek diner. Are we talking about a Greek.

[John Stamos]

No, it was like. But a hamburger place. Like hamburger. You know, like your Saturday night. I have friends. So I worked at my dad's restaurant and I was his Sunday guy, but he wanted me to go to college. And so I went to sign up. But I couldn't find that sign up room at the local college.

[Sufi]

That usually means you're not cut out for college.

[John Stamos]

I didn't think I was.

[Sufi]

They say if you can't find the sign up room, it might not be for you.

[John Stamos]

I've seen the bumper sticker. I went, then I went. Just went to Disneyland because so, so, because it was so close. So I was like, I gotta. Again one of those moments, like, I gotta get famous. And so I got on General Hospital. I was so excited. I called, I used to, you know, we'd call home and I would always go, I got bad news. I got the job. You could hear my sisters and my mom and my dad in the back. You can't work on Sundays. Tell them you're my Sunday guy. And I. And I went and I got into our hospital. The show started airing and I was. It was like meteoric Rise. And I was still working at my dad's restaurant. But my dad, I watched him. He treated every. He treated his customer the same way he treated his, you know, the busboy. I mean, he was. That's just the kind of guy he was. And he came to work and saw me talking to a crew guy or something and we were bullshitting about something and he said, okay, son, you could quit. That's. You got it. No, you got. It was a beautiful moment.

[Sufi]

When you were the Sunday guy, were you in the kitchen? Were you out front of house waiting tables?

[John Stamos]

I was. No, I was. There wasn't. It was a fast food place, so people would come up. I was a Sunday guy, but I was the breakfast guy. So I would have, you know, it was. He had a breakfast special for 99 cents. Eggs, any style, which, you know, the egg white guy fucked everything up. Like, can I have egg white?

[Sufi]

Sure.

[John Stamos]

Get the fuck. Shut up and Then you got, you know. And then, you know, overeas and all that. Bacon, sausage. Either one. Hash browns. And they were. Can I have my hash browns? A little well done, no toast. So it was a whole thing for 99 cents. So I was doing that, but girls started coming in. I said, dad, I'm famous. Can I quit? No. So I worked there with him. Where am I getting General Hospital, I would say.

[Sufi]

Nothing would make fame less interesting to people if they thought you still had to do the breakfast special.

[John Stamos]

Yeah, it was kind of like, can I have an egg over. Aren't you the guy now? It was in Gardena, you know, So I. So I got on. I was on the show and I wanted to leave. And it was super popular, and the show was very popular. And there was this great character named Gloria Monty who ran the show, and she changed the face of Data. She came in and made it sexy and moved things around, and it was really. She was an incredible woman and a great influence on me. Tough, but, you know, great. And I was. My contract was up, and I purposely never resigned. So I was making $400 an episode, and I was getting 10,000 letters a week. And they. So she took me. It was like a Mafia right? Out of a movie. She took me to Musso and Frank's, I think it was. We walk in and there's, you know, Italian music playing, like in the Godfather or something.

[Sufi]

And do it again real quick. You have a musical here. Do the Italian music real quick for us.

[John Stamos]

You guys give it a.

[Sufi]

You know, the Godfather sounds like Deliverance, right? I think. I actually think you did the bell at your dad's restaurant.

[John Stamos]

Yeah, that's right.

[Sufi]

Ding, ling ling ling. One breakfast special, please.

[John Stamos]

Okay. Give me some Italian music.

[Sufi]

We're not the ones who teed it up.

[John Stamos]

You're right. But, you know.

[Sufi]

So anyway, Musso and Frank, the classic Italian music.

[John Stamos]

Dean Martin. Dean Martin is sitting over a couple tables over with glasses bigger than your brothers. Like, gigantic. Like Swifty Lazar. Like. Like, you know.

[Sufi]

Thank you for sideburning Josh's glasses.

[Pashi]

I'm comfortable.

[John Stamos]

What does sideburning mean?

[Sufi]

It means that, like, you were telling a different story, but you managed to, you know, get a tangential burn.

[Pashi]

Snuck a burn in.

[John Stamos]

Yeah.

[Sufi]

This story was not about Josh's glasses, but I hope it's the takeaway.

[John Stamos]

Yes, me too. So I'm there, and Dean Martin's very tan. Kind of almost fake tan, like you, Seth. Another sideburn.

[Sufi]

I use his guy.

[Pashi]

Yeah.

[John Stamos]

Who did?

[Sufi]

Yeah, I used Dean Martin's Guy. Cause obviously, rest in peace, you know, he only has one client at a time.

[John Stamos]

She said to me, this is super. She says to me, now, why now, Dia? Why do you want to leave my show? And I said, well, I want to be. I always wanted. I loved Happy Days in Laverne and Shirley and Mork and Mindy and Buzzard Buddies and other shows. And they all shot at Paramount and down one row. And I would sneak into Paramount and I would go in each. They would be rehearsing, and Mork and Mindy would always go really late because Robin was. And so that was my dream. And I said, I want to be funny. And she said, oh, you want to be funny, dear? And I swear to God, she had a gun under the table, pointing it right at my brazen balls, you know. And so Dean Martin's over there and he's sitting at a table meant for two, but no one was ever coming. But it was a table setting, so nobody would sit next to him. He just wanted to be alone. And she said, oh, come, you must meet Dean Martin somehow. We get over there and Mr. Martin, this is the star of my show, John Stamos. And she said, Mr. Martin, tell John the importance of loyalty. And when you're on a hit show, you'd never leave. And he goes, come here. He goes, run. Hand to God. Hand to God. So I let. So I thought she was going to kill me. And she didn't. And she said, well. And she said this. She goes, I was maybe 20 then. She goes, you know, Darren, you'll never work in this town again. I'm like, yeah, well, I think I probably will. No, I think. So I got on, I did this other shitty show, and then I got on this show with Jack Klugman called Dreams. Sorry, you again.

[Sufi]

Was that a Gary Marshall show? You again?

[John Stamos]

No, I'll get to Gary Sideburn.

[Pashi]

We're going to get to some trips as well. We might lose Gary Marshall in the dust. Yeah, but finish where you are.

[John Stamos]

I took some trips with Gary. So I'm doing this show, and Jack would make me sit in the writers room on Punch Up Night, whatever it was in the corners, and keep my mouth shut. And it was Garry Marshall and Harvey Miller and Jerry Bellson, these great, old timey, incredible writers. And that's how I met Gary. And then Gary suggested me for the role in Full House. And he said, you gotta have a catchphrase, come up with a catchphrase. So I'm sure you guys have known him over the years and he Was God. He was the best. He was like a God, you know, like my.

[Sufi]

Genuinely the best person I've ever met in show business.

[John Stamos]

Yeah. So that's. That was the Gary Marshall part of it. And he always. He says, you gotta meet Julia Roberts. You guys are the same. You both have great mothers and everything. I said, okay, you know, someday. And I never met her. And on his deathbed, they called me. They said, he's getting ready to go. Come see him. You know, it was this dark lit again, right out of my movie. It was dark lit. And there was one light kind of shining on him. I was crying and leaned over and said, gary, I love you and I miss you and thank you for everything you've done for me. And I could hear this sniffling in the corner. And out right into the light, Ox, Julia Roberts. She goes, hi, John. I'm Julia. I said, son of a bitch always wanted me to meet you. And here we are. He was good. Rickles was great.

[Sufi]

If this is what it takes.

[John Stamos]

Yeah.

[Sufi]

If this is what it takes.

[John Stamos]

Yeah.

[Sufi]

All right. So you two sisters, how much younger?

[John Stamos]

Two years each. Two.

[Sufi]

Okay.

[John Stamos]

And we have nicknames, too, for each other, oddly enough, the same as you guys. Sufi. And no one is. They call me Nonners. From John Non. Johnny Nonny.

[Sufi]

We'll accept it.

[John Stamos]

Okay. I said, do we ever. What kind of. Did we ever get any bad trips? Like. No. All our trips were great, but I do remember not much more than this, but I just got my license and we had one of those station wagons with wood paneling on the side. Yeah, sure. And we're driving to maybe, like, Lake Tahoe or something. It was late, too, and everybody was tired and my dad, So I was bugging. Dad, can I drive? Can I drive? No, you're not driving. Please, dad, please stop smoking and get in the back of my. And so I was driving and everybody. I was looking back, everyone was asleep. And I got the radio cranking, and the next thing I realized is, like. And I'd fallen asleep and almost killed my entire family in that station wagon.

[Sufi]

Those things would crumple like the ring can.

[John Stamos]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sufi]

Where were you a road trip family, or did you ever get on airplanes?

[John Stamos]

We were road trip family. It was very. It was a very sweet. So we'd go to Lake Tahoe, which was not very far from where we lived in Orange County. Vegas was a fun one in Tahoe. Vegas. Lake Havasu was. We would go water skiing and Lake Havasu. All very simple, beautiful memories. And it was you know, Disneyland we would go to once, but it was like a once in a year, if we were lucky, Disneyland. Not like my kid who's here every other weekend, you know, Would you stay.

[Pashi]

When you went to Tahoe, would you get a hotel or would you, like, rent a cabin?

[John Stamos]

We were more rent. Cabin people.

[Sufi]

Yeah.

[John Stamos]

You guys are big Airbnb guys, right? Or.

[Pashi]

Wow.

[Sufi]

Yeah, Even back when we were growing up, we were huge Airbnb. I mean, again, that was obviously, you know, cybernetic.

[Pashi]

But no, we always. We would. We would sort of rent. Like, we had rented a condo in Michigan to, like, go skiing that we would go to, and we rented a little cabin.

[Sufi]

As a kid, I loved staying anywhere with interior stairs.

[Pashi]

Yeah.

[Sufi]

That's where I felt like I was a billionaire if we got a place that had, like, stairs.

[John Stamos]

Did you guys grow up? Did your family have dough? Your mother was a teacher, I think, or something?

[Pashi]

Yeah, we were middle class, maybe upper middle school.

[Sufi]

She was a teacher, and our dad was a gun runner.

[John Stamos]

Oh, okay.

[Sufi]

I feel like. No, I feel like we did. We were not, I think as growing up, we did not ever worry about stuff, which is.

[Pashi]

At some point, our dad started a business that really crashed and burned. And then we moved from Michigan to New Hampshire. And I feel like it was maybe tight for a little while in there, but we were so little. We never knew. And I really applaud our parents for not letting on, um, to maybe the dire straits we were in momentarily or maybe more longer than a moment. I don't know what side hustle.

[John Stamos]

What was your dad's business?

[Sufi]

It was a beanie. Remember Beanie Babies? Yes, he did Beanie. He did Beanie.

[John Stamos]

Adults then didn't come out.

[Sufi]

Nobody wanted them. They were like full size. They were like the size of an adult filled with beans.

[John Stamos]

I have the Dave Coulier, the Joey from Full House, the full doll thing. I got it from your dad.

[Sufi]

Oh, yeah, there you go. Full size dolls. So did you guys. Did you and your sisters on a road trip, do you have any memory of getting along? Not getting along?

[John Stamos]

No, we got along great. It was a pretty perfect childhood. I was trying to think of this disaster stories. Recently. I did one of those shows where they trace your ancestry, finding your roots.

[Sufi]

Did you do roots? Or who do you think you are?

[John Stamos]

Or who do you think you are? Yeah, got it. Did you do one of those? Have you done one of those?

[Sufi]

I did Roots.

[Pashi]

What did you find?

[John Stamos]

So part of it was Grease, which was great. And then. Then we went to this little village. And they go, and this is where your great grandfather was shot. I'm like, oh, really? Shot at the thing. And so when you. Back then, if your father died, then you were considered an orphan. And if your mom's still alive, but you're an orphan because your dad's dead. And so my grandfather was an orphan. He was shot in his village, my great grandfather. And it was the Koliopoulos family against the Stomatopoulos family. So it was like, you know, hathilism, of course. And I'm walking.

[Sufi]

Koliopoulos got shortage coulier, right?

[John Stamos]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sufi]

Okay, good. So it must have been weird on that first day on set.

[John Stamos]

Yeah. I was like, what? His great grandpa. Oh, bring the beanie baby out quick. We'll shoot that. Yeah. So it was. And then we were walking through with one of my cousins, and I was like, so the Coleopolis shit. So it was really beautiful. My sisters then. So they figured orphan. So then turns out that my great grandmother was an orphan in Des Moines. So then I said, why don't you guys come on the second part? I'll take Caitlin to Greece because she's never been there when you guys come. It was horrific. I mean, everything went wrong. The weather was terrible. We couldn't really do. They would have to, like, make up stuff because we couldn't get to the library. So we're going to have this professor come over and. And talk to me about this. And we got stuck there. And I was on the. We just got out easily somehow, and my sisters got stuck. So when anybody gets a raw deal on anything, we call it Des Moines. Oh, you got Des Moines because.

[Sufi]

Gotcha. Cause who do you think you are? I should say I did. Finding your roots with Skip Gates and that one. You just like show up in a room and they tell you about what they found. But who do they think you are? You actually have to, like, travel. It's like a travel show.

[John Stamos]

And then they just cut out to be doubly demoind. They cut out that part of it because it was terrible. But the. Greece was beautiful. And so they and my sisters didn't get to go there.

[Pashi]

Did you ever go to Greece with your parents?

[John Stamos]

I did. I got to take my dad there, and he hadn't been in many years, and it was one of those magical things. And he passed away a couple years after that.

[Pashi]

Gotcha.

[Sufi]

Was it just the two of you? Just a father, son, trip?

[John Stamos]

No, no. I was married at the time. It was my ex wife and my mother. The four of us went, oh, great. We didn't do a lot of. You know, I remember my dad. My dad loved the horse, the races, and there was a Los Alamitos racetrack near our house. And those were the moments. I remember going with my dad, and I remember. I'll never forget, just sort of falling asleep on his. On his lap, you know, at the horse track or in the car. And then years later, I realized he was a smoker. And he would. He would. If he couldn't find an ashtray, he'd just put it out on his jeans and then rub it in. And I was like, that's why you smelled like my face was there, dad, why would you do that? But I loved. I got in trouble there, you know.

[Sufi]

So being brought to a horse track as a kid is fascinating to me. Was part. I mean, I'm assuming your dad is not just going to watch horses, he's going to gamble on horses.

[John Stamos]

Correct.

[Sufi]

So did it. Was his mood up and down based on how that was going?

[John Stamos]

No, he was a pretty even dude. You know, he was a little gruff, but very soft on the inside. You know, sort of a Greek. Yeah, he. No, he. And he wasn't betting. You know, he wasn't. Wasn't like, he was.

[Sufi]

Not large sums.

[John Stamos]

No, it was not his hobby. You know, he was one of the. You know, you think of your dad as a superhero when you're little, right? And like, you know, bigger than life. And then you get to an age where you go, ah, nah, he's just a man. I never got to that point. My dad was always the coolest motherfucker in any room he walked into, and I just idolized him. And he was gone too soon.

[Sufi]

I don't think I've reached that point with dad. Have you?

[John Stamos]

Posh.

[Pashi]

No, he's still a superhero.

[Sufi]

I wouldn't. I mean, I would say the difference would be that I've never described him as even keeled.

[John Stamos]

Did he have a. What was.

[Pashi]

Oh, yeah.

[John Stamos]

Was he a tempered thing?

[Sufi]

I would call him, like, keeled over. Teacup. Is that.

[Pashi]

Do you have any memories of, like, a big win? Did your dad ever hit like a trifecta? Or would he. You know, would he point out, hey, this, we're on the seven horse and would you celebrate Cheer together? I'm assuming that he'd loop you in in terms of what the family was riding on?

[John Stamos]

Not really. But he would. No, he would, but he would. Not at us, but, yeah, he would get pissed off if he lost programmed. He would spend all day touting as they call it. And he would. This horse, they would check out the jockey and how tall is he? And how many things did he win and lose? And then they would go and do it that way. When he died, he passed away. And it was one of those things in the Greek thing too. It's like he wanted to be cremated. Okay. So we did that. Then we set up this big funeral. He was 65, so he had. A lot of thousands of people showed up. But he wanted to have a ceremony in the Greek church. And so we go there, and they're like, oh, well, you gotta have the body. You can't have. We don't do it if it's Creek. Oh, God. Really? Dr. Handoutopoulos was. Well, I could see what I could do. I'm paying this guy up, so. But he died. And I was doing this TV show called Thieves. And we happened to be shooting at that racetrack. And I put his ash. And it was windy. Right out of the movie, I would throw his ashes. And I was in a white suit. I was playing this thief, you know, this white suit. And I threw his ashes over the finish line and they blew back on me. So the track was interesting. And he. And that's when I became.

[Sufi]

And then you rubbed his ashes into your pants.

[John Stamos]

Put your head down here, Daddy. I got busted there for selling. I was very industrious in the way of. I would ask people for their programs. If they left early, then I would sell them for half price.

[Sufi]

People coming in, oh, that's a pretty good hustle. And you did get busted, though.

[John Stamos]

Yeah, but the cop chased me like, I'm running through the. You know. And my dad had to come pick me up. And it was good fellowship.

[Sufi]

All right, Jerry, you ran so fast. You won the five.

[John Stamos]

Guy went right onto the track and kept going.

[Sufi]

Yeah, the classic. They all still talk about the day the boy went. Beat the horse.

[John Stamos]

The boy came in first.

[Pashi]

How old were you when you guys went to Vegas, do you think?

[Sufi]

As a family, we would go quite a bit.

[John Stamos]

It was. I was young, you know, we would stay at Circus Circus, which was this. Gross. I heard Josh Gad on here talking about it too. Yeah, it was gross. Did you guys ever go there?

[Sufi]

No, we never. I feel like we never took a trip as kids to Vegas.

[Pashi]

No, we went years, years later, like, once we were adults. I feel like we were both in la and our parents came out and we rented a car and we drove out there and we had. I've never felt better in Las Vegas than when I was there with my parents. We would, like. We would get up early, we'd have breakfast. I think we played golf. Maybe a couple days, we'd come back, we'd have lunch, we'd take a nap. We'd, you know, gamble for a little bit, maybe go see a show, have dinner. And then we were in bed by 11. Like, it's when they're pumping the oxygen in and you're not drinking to get drunk. It's. You can feel really good in Las Vegas.

[Sufi]

Although I do remember being at an interminably long Cirque du Soleil show with mom and dad.

[Pashi]

Oh, yeah, but that's not. That's not your style also. No, I will like a Cirque du Soleil show, and you will roll your eyes.

[John Stamos]

So really, that's you, Seth Love. Did you see that show ever? The Beetle one?

[Pashi]

No, didn't see that one. I think we saw O.

[Sufi]

We did see O. It was like acrobats in water.

[John Stamos]

My mom loved Vegas till the day she died. And I would go. I would take her, and she would stay up all night long and play the slots. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. And I would try to find her, and I couldn't. I would. You know how I would find her? If I saw someone with a. With a picture of me that she was, you know, whipping out to people and stuff. Did you see my. Where did she go? Oh, hey. Yeah. She just gave me this postcard. Did you really sign this? Yeah.

[Sufi]

Did you. Was she a smoker?

[John Stamos]

Yes.

[Sufi]

Cause as I picture somebody willing to spend all night at a slot machine, it's almost hard to imagine they don't have.

[John Stamos]

Yeah, they smoke. Yeah. My dad was so good. He saved. You know, he was very frugal and drove the same car for 20 years. 25 years. This El Camino that he gave to me. And I think my mom spent all the money after he died in Vegas.

[Sufi]

Gotcha. In one night.

[John Stamos]

In one night. Yeah. One big one night. She went to O.

[Sufi]

What, 25 cents at a time?

[John Stamos]

Yeah. Yes.

[Pashi]

Did you ever take any. Did you ever get on a plane as a family to take a family trip that was further afield?

[John Stamos]

We probably. I took them to Europe. You know, I really. It was. Oh, well, here, let me think. This could be good. But, you know, when I started playing with the Beach Boys, one of the first shows I played was in D.C. in front of a million people. And then we went to Philly. It was Philly. It was in the afternoon, and so. And I didn't Have a camera. And I said, if you guys want me to keep it. Look, I'm. You know, it was a thrill of my life to, you know, be next to these guys. And it's lasted to this day. But I said, I gotta start bringing my parents. I said, okay, okay, okay. Okay. So I would take them everywhere. Big trips like Australia and these kind of trips. And my mom was. We went horseback riding once, I remember, in Australia. And she's writing her. She's like, my fanny hurts. My fanny hurts. And all the strangers. What's the matter? Fanny means vagina here. So. Mom. Oh, stop saying that.

[Sufi]

Also, you shouldn't even in places it doesn't mean vagina. You shouldn't say it a bunch.

[John Stamos]

Fanny is a funny one. Did you guys. What's one of the first things you did for your parents when you guys started making the do? Re me. Did you buy him cars?

[Sufi]

I'm still trying to decide, but I do think it's a good idea to do something at some point.

[John Stamos]

Get him. I don't know. What is your dad into besides being.

[Sufi]

I don't know.

[Pashi]

He's into golf, but he also. He hates it as much as he loves it.

[Sufi]

I would say, like, access is the best thing we do for our parents. And like, we, you know, we take an annual trip to Pittsburgh to go see a Steelers game. And like, that's really special for them.

[Pashi]

Yeah, we had a great trip a couple years ago where Northwestern, where we all went to school, was playing Nebraska in Ireland as a first game of the season. And I bought tickets to the game. Seth bought flights. Our parents bought the hotels. And it was kind of a perfect. Like, we don't. There's no takeaway other than the memory from this trip. And it was fabulous.

[John Stamos]

Seth, how many millions do you make a week?

[Sufi]

A week. That's a great way to.

[John Stamos]

The parents have by the hotel, ask.

[Sufi]

About the year two.

[John Stamos]

That's too much.

[Sufi]

Let's just say enough. That my parents are definitely well within their rights to be. Like, when are we going to get one goddamn thing? Hey, settle a bet for Josh and I. Kokomo. Real or made up?

[John Stamos]

It's a. It's a place. You get there fast and you take. It's made up.

[Sufi]

Yeah, it's made up. See, I told you. Posh. Cause he keeps saying that's where he wants to go for his honeymoon. And I'm like, you're an idiot. It's perfect. He's always constantly on kayak, just, like searching for flights. I'm like, it's not. There's no.

[John Stamos]

There's a Kokomo, Indiana. You guys can go there. That'd be sexy. Posh.

[Sufi]

Something to think about.

[John Stamos]

Yeah, poshy.

[Sufi]

What was the biggest venue you played with the Beach Boys?

[John Stamos]

Well, it was one of the first times. The very first time was in. Was at a baseball stadium. And I just wanted to meet them. I was. And I just been broken up with. I caught my. The first love of my life. I loved this girl so much. I walked in and she was in bed with Tony Danza. Anyone else have that story? Josh, I guess. Who's the boss?

[Sufi]

I got a good Tony Danza.

[John Stamos]

Oh, John, that sounds like Giuliani.

[Sufi]

No, no, no, dude, I think they're. Look, I think on finding your roots, you might find out they're like third cousins.

[John Stamos]

Giuliani is so good. And then the lisp that you do with him.

[Sufi]

I will say, as bad as Danza is, it would be worse to walk in on her with Giuliani.

[John Stamos]

Can you imagine? You're right.

[Sufi]

This isn't what it looks like. Buff.

[John Stamos]

So he. I was very depressed and my friend said I got. And my friend was playing guitar with him. He said, come. Oh, I don't. I'm gonna try to see if you can. You can meet the guys. He said, after. Fun, fun, fun. Come backstage. It was a baseball stadium in San Diego, Padre Stadium. You guys are sports kids. And come backstage now. It's Petco.

[Sufi]

What was it called?

[John Stamos]

Qualcomm.

[Sufi]

Probably wasn't here.

[John Stamos]

Qualcomm. It was originally Jack Murphy.

[Sufi]

Yeah, there you go.

[John Stamos]

That's what I was trying to pull. It was Irish. And so he said, get back there. And they're there for five minutes, then they go do the encore and then they leave. So you gotta get in between. Okay, I just done General Hospital. Then I get down to the baseball field and I hear people screw, scream like somebody was getting killed. I looked over and it was like 100 cheerleaders that spotted me. Like, oh, shit. And I just started running like an idiot. Now here I am in these jerdass jeans. I look like a dead crow landed on my head and then died. And I'm running, skinny legs, these big dump teeth. It was the 80s. And I start running the bases like a jackass. And they keep gaining me because I'm a terrible runner. And all these girls and I look up on the Jumbotron like this, like this. And I. Where's the backstage? And I run. In just the nick of time. They slam the doors and girls Are screaming. And I'm like. And I look over and my idols, there they are, the four. Dennis wasn't there, but. No, Dennis was there. It was all of them. And they look at me like, who is this insane, you know, guy out of. And they hung out with Manson. So that's saying quite a bit. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. And my friend said, well, that's John Samus and Michael. I said, won't do it. What's his deal? He plays drums. He's on General Hospital. He's a good drummer. Oh, yeah. He said, do girls scream for him like that all the time? And he said, yeah. My friend said, yeah. He goes, get him on stage. And so I played Barbara there. And then they said, well, we're doing this big thing in D.C. on the 4th of July, 1985. We always have guests, and they like the way you play that song, so would you come be a guest? And I'm like, yes. I get to D.C. first day before, my friend's waiting for me in the lobby. He says, come on, we gotta go teach Jimmy the. What keys were doing this? Who just come on. Smash Cut to me standing in the biggest suite I've ever seen in my life. Jimmy Page walks up.

[Sufi]

Wow.

[John Stamos]

Slinky kind of, you know. And he's got a big Jack Daniels. Bottle of Jack Daniels. This has something to do with travel because. And he says, you want. I said, no. Mr. Page, do you have a light beer? He looked at me like, I like beer. He leaves. Then my friend leaves because he sees his guitars in the next room. And here I am in this giant hotel suite, bigger than I've ever seen any suite. And I'll never forget, there was these big, blue, puffy couches. And I'm like, this is weird. And anvil cases everywhere. So I go sit down on the couch, and in between two anvil cases pops out this goth. Like a goth cuckoo clock. This weird, skinny girl. She sees me, she goes, ah. Jumps back in. I scream, ah. And she goes. And then Jimmy Page comes walking out. I'm like, he's got this beer. I down it. He's got a guitar. He said, what key? What key are we doing? What song? I said, my friend said, you're doing Barbaran. Okay, what key is that in F sharp? I kept fucking soloing, screaming at me like, I coming up with the keys. What else? What says here you're doing Help me, Rhonda. What key is that in C sharp? I got fucking solo. C is screaming at me. So this was my first thing, it was in Philadelphia in the afternoon. And Mr. T. So here's the travel part. We're on a train and it's really hot. And Mr. T is like bitching and complaining the heat. And Carl Wilson, who sang Godly Nose and who was an ethereal gentleman, just one of the most beautiful. He's like at. Shut the fuck up. Because he was going on and on. And we're pulling up to the steps at the library and he's running through the. He had some guy teeing him up. I'll get you Balboa from Rocky. So we get there and it was. That was a million people. We jump back on a plane, I think, get to D.C. late, drive on there. And that was about 750,000 people. And they were all pushing. The guy says, you're on General Hospital. Yeah. Go out there and tell the crowd to back up a little bit. We're going to cancel the show. I'm like, what? Yeah, just go out there. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Blackie. That was the name of my character on General Hospital. That didn't go over great at first, you know, 750,000 people. As one go black.

[Pashi]

Woo.

[John Stamos]

Then they see me and like, oh, I'm screaming. I go, hi. They told me that you guys all have to back up or they're going to cancel the show. Screaming at me, let me finish. I told them they can do whatever they want because it's DC Rock, you know, whatever. And then we played this show, and that was. And Jimmy Page, afterwards, before, he was really nervous and I said, you know, we were talking. I was like, oh, they're gonna love you. And he hadn't played in a long time. And they were getting ready to do Live Aid in Philadelphia the following week. And it's just gonna be great. And I said, do you see that? They were all like going, jimmy, Jimmy. He said, oh, I thought they were hexing me now, didn't I? I said, no, Jim, they liked you. I do impressions in case you guys ever do some voice work.

[Sufi]

The great thing. Can I say the great thing about this story is how easy it's been to fall on.

[John Stamos]

What part confused you, Seth?

[Sufi]

It just like Mr. T came in and out. He was on a train. Misbehavior.

[Pashi]

Then you were in Philly.

[Sufi]

Then you were in Philly.

[John Stamos]

We started in the first show.

[Pashi]

There was a million people. Then there was 750,000 people. Was it a million in Philly? 750,000 in January.

[Sufi]

I think the T in Mr. T might stand for Train. I never knew it before.

[Pashi]

Might have just been Mr. Train.

[Sufi]

Yeah.

[John Stamos]

Oh, maybe it was Train. That band was opening up.

[Sufi]

Oh, it was Train.

[John Stamos]

Yeah. No. All right, guys, sure. The two brothers that, you know seem like they're very sweet and humble, they get an X teen idol on Boom Boom.

[Sufi]

We get you out on a ledge and we pull out the curtain.

[John Stamos]

One of my favorite television appearances was on your show Seth, years ago, where I read a bunch of reviews from Fuller House, I think it was. And one guy.

[Sufi]

It was a very. You had a very. You had a very good sense of humor about it.

[John Stamos]

I still don't.

[Sufi]

I still don't. Wait. This is. It's just lovely to see you. And can I just say, genuinely.

[John Stamos]

It.

[Sufi]

Is just, you know, everybody talks about how handsome John Stamos is. Blah, blah, blah. What a voice. Pashi.

[Pashi]

Yeah.

[Sufi]

One of the easiest listening pods we've ever done.

[John Stamos]

Hey, baby. Really? There it is.

[Pashi]

Yeah.

[John Stamos]

I love you guys so much. Seth again, I've become obsessed with you. And then now Josh, because I didn't realize you guys were brothers. I mean, he looks so much alike, but when you're doing newsome on that, you're spot on. And then you're really talented. Really talented. And I can see why your brother idolizes you.

[Sufi]

He's gonna put you. Wait till you read his memoir about how much you.

[John Stamos]

I'll read it. I'm gonna do the voiceover for it.

[Sufi]

Oh, great. Hey, baby, you just gotta be like, durr, der. So now Josh is gonna ask you some questions.

[Pashi]

All right, Here we go. Some quick hitters. John, you can only pick one of these. Is your ideal vacation relaxing, adventurous, or educational?

[John Stamos]

Can it be all three?

[Pashi]

Nope.

[Sufi]

That's like. You can only pick one.

[John Stamos]

Yeah, but I'm 61, so, like, when I'm in my 20s, it's adventure.

[Pashi]

Yeah, but right now. Right now.

[John Stamos]

Yeah. Relax. Great.

[Pashi]

There you go. What's your favorite means of Transportation? Train with Mr. Train. Plane, automobile, boat, bike, or walking.

[Sufi]

You can go on a plane with.

[John Stamos]

Mr. C.

[Pashi]

The Mr. Or Mrs. Of each means of transportation will be there. So which means of transportation do you prefer?

[John Stamos]

I say Mr. C, Mr. Car now. Well, my wife recently said, let's go take a road trip. I'm like, let's not ever take a road trip. And she talked me into it. And it was hands down my favorite time with my family recently and my son. Great. It was like a few months ago, we drove up to a. The coast, to San Francisco. Like, all the way up to San Francisco, and we Went to, like, stayed in weird little places. You guys ever been to the Madonna Inn? Yeah, right?

[Pashi]

Yeah, I love the Madonna Inn.

[John Stamos]

That's a honeymoon spot, Josh.

[Pashi]

I don't know about that. Well, but I'm glad we didn't talk about that family trip in the last 50 minutes.

[Sufi]

The biggest burn is at the end when Josh realizes there was, like, uncovered treasure. Yeah, yeah. He left treasure on the table.

[Pashi]

Yeah.

[John Stamos]

You think? Me leaving treasure on the table.

[Sufi]

Josh feels like it's his job. He's sort of a family trip prospector, and he's blaming himself right now.

[John Stamos]

You guys could do so many different subjects. Brothers would have been great family stuff. But family trips.

[Pashi]

Yeah, family trips is what we have. And then Seth's like, when did you work with Garry Marshall?

[Sufi]

Well, the bummer was I have a really good Garry Marshall story, but I knew Josh.

[Pashi]

Yeah, yeah, we'll roll to it later. Maybe tell it on your show.

[Sufi]

Yeah, that's a good point.

[Pashi]

Tell it on the show that you have or one of the other two podcasts you do.

[Sufi]

You know what? I'm gonna tell it to burn you. You know where I'm gonna tell the Gary Marshall at my wedding.

[John Stamos]

Yeah.

[Sufi]

My best man speech is gonna be about how I met Gary Marshall.

[Pashi]

If you could take a vacation with any family, alive or dead, real or fictional, other than your own family, what family would you like to take a family vacation with?

[John Stamos]

Manson.

[Sufi]

Great.

[John Stamos]

Great.

[Pashi]

Quick fun while it lasted. If you.

[John Stamos]

The Wilson.

[Pashi]

Better. Better. If you had to be stranded on a desert island with one member of your family, who would it be?

[John Stamos]

Oh, gosh. Well, it would be my dad. Maybe I miss him the most. Cause he's been gone a long time.

[Sufi]

That's a great answer. I believe that to be true.

[Pashi]

And you're from. I want to get this right. Are you from Cyprus, California?

[John Stamos]

Yes.

[Pashi]

Would you recommend Cypress, California, as a vacation destination?

[John Stamos]

No.

[Pashi]

No.

[John Stamos]

Well, you know. Well, here's the deal. It's very close to Knott's Berry Farm and Disneyland. So if you're an amusement park people. Family. Which you clearly the Meijers are not.

[Sufi]

We're not. I think we are.

[John Stamos]

We are. But this is an important question. And again, you're a genius.

[Sufi]

Yeah. Fire.

[John Stamos]

When did the pulling of the shades come down in the middle of all your closer looks and stuff? I don't know. I do a lot of stupid things, but this is not stupid. What do you mean?

[Sufi]

Like, what do you mean by pulling down in the shades?

[John Stamos]

Well, there's no shade there. You do a hand motion and it's almost like a. That's it. Josh, Was he.

[Sufi]

I've always talked with my hands. It's something we inherited from my dad.

[John Stamos]

It's great. But it's a very specific. You guys both look at me like I'm crazy. Go watch the tapes. And it's a.

[Sufi]

And I do a lot of shade pulling.

[John Stamos]

Yeah, it's great. It's usually. But it's.

[Pashi]

I think he's probably just centering himself. I don't know.

[John Stamos]

Yeah. All right, go ahead.

[Pashi]

Yeah. But Cyprus, it's close to some things.

[John Stamos]

Yeah.

[Pashi]

Yeah. Maybe not a vacation destination in itself. And Seth has our final questions.

[Sufi]

John, have you been to the Grand Canyon?

[John Stamos]

I have not.

[Sufi]

Do you want to go with you two?

[Pashi]

Yeah, sure, man.

[John Stamos]

Is that the honeymoon, Josh?

[Sufi]

Yeah. Yeah. Are you really down? We kind of know people there.

[John Stamos]

Oh, do you?

[Pashi]

Yeah, we do.

[John Stamos]

I would like to go there. Yeah.

[Sufi]

Okay, great.

[John Stamos]

Did you. I know you probably watched the Will and Harper thing.

[Sufi]

Yeah.

[John Stamos]

It was beautiful. But they were up at Grand Canyon. What is the catch there? You go and sit on the. What do you do there?

[Pashi]

Experience it.

[Sufi]

I would say it famously doesn't have a catch.

[John Stamos]

We'll come up with one right now. The Grand Canyon. You don't want to fall.

[Sufi]

You don't want it. It's free to go down. You got to pay to get back up. That would be the catch. Paid, like, that's all.

[John Stamos]

Do they have donkeys that take you back up again still?

[Sufi]

Yeah, I think they do.

[John Stamos]

And you want to stay away from the edge when a ram is nearby, Right?

[Pashi]

That's true.

[John Stamos]

I was listening to that last night, you guys. I swear to God. And I'm walking by. I'm walking back to the hotel. I shouldn't say this because it's Disney. And I'm listening to this thing. Ram. And I was trying to follow that thing, and it was in and out, and I see a giant. What I thought was a rat. And I go, it was right when you were telling a story about this. And let me see if I have a picture or video of it. And it turns out, I'm not sure if it was. It was something. I mean, look at this. Is this not. Shoot. Wait a minute. And I thought, well, wait a minute, folks at home. Sorry, but I got you. Can you see this little rat there?

[Pashi]

Oh, yeah.

[John Stamos]

And it was right when I was. And I was like, I gotta show this. He ran across there. But that's a. That's at this hotel that looks like.

[Pashi]

A little, like, guinea pig.

[John Stamos]

I Think it was a. I don't think it was.

[Sufi]

Obviously. This is a podcast, you people. John just showed us a video of like a 70 pound rat.

[John Stamos]

[John Stamos]
