Yannis Pappas
Yes, John Stamos. As many years I've called Yan a special needs stamos, as I'm sure you've heard, because I do believe he looks like you. As if he had special needs.
John Stamos
Because his eyes are closer together.
Chris Distefano
That's right.
Yannis Pappas
That's right. His eyes are closer together. He has a below average snake size head. He doesn't have the hair you have, he doesn't have the bone structure you have. He looks like you. If you had a bit of a chromosomal deficiency.
John Stamos
I just say you're. This is the first time meeting you and you're. I, I don't want to. I don't want to bag on my boy.
Yannis Pappas
No, no, no.
John Stamos
I do have to say that you're a handsome kid.
Yannis Pappas
I appreciate that. Thank you.
John Stamos
And your special was very good. And I honestly, I would. The whole time I was watching this thing. Why doesn't Giannis have this special on Netflix? Why him?
Yannis Pappas
Yes.
Chris Distefano
They said no. Yes. I tried to get it on. They just said no. Yeah, well, you know, they went no.
Yannis Pappas
They said they have a one Greek minimum, and they already gave it to Stavros, so they said, we can't actually do another Greek unless you wanted to start.
John Stamos
I'm happy you guys are finally together again. You know, Jonas and I have been friends for a while, and he's leaning a little right these days. I've been listening.
Yannis Pappas
Oh, yeah. Well, that's why we're doing the show again.
John Stamos
Thank God. Straighten his ass out.
Yannis Pappas
As soon as I saw. I was watching.
John Stamos
You got it.
Yannis Pappas
Before I said, you know, this guy's getting back to really speaking the truth. I should. Let's start the show again.
John Stamos
Get this started.
Yannis Pappas
Yes.
John Stamos
Yes.
Yannis Pappas
Once I heard his. His policy on immigration, I said, get him back in the seat.
Chris Distefano
Well, you. Well, I think we all just.
Yannis Pappas
Maybe.
Chris Distefano
I think we all just figured when Hollywood crumbled, we could just all be honest again.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah. Let's just do it again. Yeah. Yeah.
John Stamos
Yes.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. Yeah. Almost.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
It's hanging on by thread.
John Stamos
We don't want to talk politics because.
Yannis Pappas
Because you can't.
Chris Distefano
Because you.
John Stamos
I can't? No. I got in trouble.
Yannis Pappas
Well, you're in. Well, you're in the hall. You're in the. In the. You know, and you've done very well with it, but you're in the Hollywood machine. You're an A list celebrity. I don't say a. No, I'd say people know your first and last name. Plus, no. I call you a. A by name only.
John Stamos
If I am an A, it's just because I've. I've lasted so long. Right. Longer than others, I guess. But, yeah. Yeah. I should have been gone.
Chris Distefano
And you don't look like you've had any work.
John Stamos
I haven't.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. Which is pretty.
Yannis Pappas
I know.
John Stamos
I had a nose job when I was a kid. You did? Really?
Yannis Pappas
Two of them.
John Stamos
Wow.
Yannis Pappas
No Botox, because you got.
John Stamos
I had the Botox on my forehead.
Yannis Pappas
Okay.
John Stamos
But I kind of think it's run out by now.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
John Stamos
Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
You are. You are a wildly handsome guy and probably the best hair I've ever seen, actually in person.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. And I would say just a. No job and forehead botox. In Hollywood that equals no work.
Yannis Pappas
No work.
Chris Distefano
No work.
Yannis Pappas
You can actually to net zero.
John Stamos
Yeah, I'm 72. 73 next month.
Yannis Pappas
Are you 73 next off? I was gonna say that would be. That would believe that you Hollywoodly are drinking the blood of children.
John Stamos
Now I see why you guys split up.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, yeah.
John Stamos
No, I'm 62.
Yannis Pappas
62 years old even that's impressive.
John Stamos

Yannis Pappas
Well, we're going to have depends on.
Chris Distefano
When you want to sell.
Yannis Pappas
We're going to have a big party and we're actually going to get a time machine and go back in time because he turned 50 last year. He lies. He's a likes to pull.
Chris Distefano
We always take one year back. My mother took one year back. My brother takes one year.
Yannis Pappas
Well, that's what Greeks do. You said so Stamos actually 63, but he's saying you're 62.
Chris Distefano
It depends when he had his last feasting of baby blood.
Yannis Pappas
That's what it is.
Chris Distefano
That freezes the aging.
Yannis Pappas
Now here's what happen lot of Rob Low because here's what happened is we had a great guest on last week, you know, O's Pearlman, the Met.
John Stamos
I called you guys, remember? I want to hear how that went.
Yannis Pappas
And we want to hear. And we. And you were going to have a lunch with Stavros.
John Stamos

Yannis Pappas
No, he said fatting is what he said.
John Stamos
He said I'm fatting by the way, if he's sweetest guy in the world. Oh yeah. I really enjoyed me. I. I don't know. Honestly. I got all these calls from my manager.
Yannis Pappas
Oh, this Guy wants to meet you.
John Stamos
He's got a project, blah, blah. I said, great. I'm. You know, I'd love to. And then we just sat and talked, and I got a bunch of questions, and they stuck me with the bill and we went home.
Yannis Pappas
No, he's a great guy.
John Stamos
Yeah, he is.
Yannis Pappas
And the project. The project will be the project. Good. Yes.
John Stamos
There was no project.
Yannis Pappas
There's. Oh, really? You just want to hang out?
John Stamos
Just want a free lunch? I guess that's what it is.
Yannis Pappas
Well, that's what it is. Yeah. Because that's lunch. That's what Mom Donnie wants as well. Yeah, the free lunch.
Chris Distefano
Everybody and all the Greeks at some point have to meet each other because it's just not a lot.
Yannis Pappas
It's not you. You got you two, you got Stavros, you have Zach Galifianakis. Zach Galifianakis. Maria Menudos. Right.
John Stamos
Tanita Fey.
Yannis Pappas
Tanita Fey. Tom Hank. Hanks.
Chris Distefano
Hackalopoulos.
Yannis Pappas
Hankalopoulos, yeah.
Chris Distefano
Neil Vardala.
Yannis Pappas
Yes. Chad Hanks.
John Stamos
Tell him when I. Tell him when I took you to Greek Easter.
Chris Distefano
That one took me to Greek Easter. And the priest.
John Stamos
It was at Jim Gianna.
Chris Distefano
Jim Giannopoulos, his house. He used to be the.
Yannis Pappas
Oh, big, big deal. Yeah, Big, big deal.
Chris Distefano
My dad. He worked for my dad. Yeah, he used to work for my dad.
John Stamos
He was like.
Chris Distefano
When my dad started out, he was like a young lawyer who worked for my dad. And the priest at the party definitely said, the Palestinians need to get their shit together.
Yannis Pappas
Right?
Chris Distefano
So that part I do remember. That was pretty wild.
John Stamos
In the prayer. That was weird.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, he put it in the prayer. Yeah. But I said, hey, we're in Hollywood. You.
John Stamos
But you ended up talking to somebody for a long time.
Chris Distefano
When in Jerusalem, do as the Jews do.
John Stamos
What did you. Who were you talking to? Saw you huddled. I was talking randos.
Chris Distefano
No, no. You introduced me to sarandos. Yeah, he is a Greek.
Yannis Pappas
Sarandos. Yeah.
John Stamos
No, I. Yeah, I was talking to you. No, no, it was the other. It was Dimitri Martin.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
Dimitri Martin. Yeah.
John Stamos
Dimitri Martin was there, and your wife was pissed because you weren't home for Easter.
Chris Distefano
That's right.
John Stamos
Hollywood. That's right.
Yannis Pappas
He was like, you got to do what you got to do.
John Stamos
How is this show doing? Is it success?
Yannis Pappas
Is this show. Yeah. So we're back. We're good. We're in the saddle.
John Stamos
Yeah. As you got when you first started back.
Chris Distefano
Like, Desi Arnaz and Lucy coming back, baby. I don't know which one's Lucy.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Well, Desi Arnaz is. Was Latin.
Yannis Pappas
Was Latin. So that would be me. I'm more Latin. Even though he dresses like a Latino.
John Stamos
I'm just analogy.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
It's the first two people that came to my mind.
John Stamos
You guys talk too much in the beginning over each other.
Chris Distefano
Do we?
John Stamos
Right? Not now. Anymore. Now you have a nice rhythm.
Chris Distefano
Are you listening regularly?
John Stamos
What?
Chris Distefano
Are you listening?
John Stamos
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Oh, are you on the Patreon?
John Stamos
I'm on yours.
Chris Distefano
Oh, okay, good.
Yannis Pappas
Oh, the youngest.
Chris Distefano
That one slowed down to one a month. Yeah. And now we're down to 25.
John Stamos
You guys have a Patreon, too?
Yannis Pappas
We do. Patreon.com history hyenas, where you're probably going to hear most of this episode, because I would guarantee that we will get an email from John's publicist that 90% of this episode can't come out. Why so. Because Giannis is talking about Palestinians, and you just can't do that.
Chris Distefano
I didn't know the priest actually did say that.
John Stamos
I thought he.
Yannis Pappas
Wow.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, he did. He was giving. He was like. Yeah. He did the religious thing. He said, Palestinians, our friends, they got to get their shit together. I know what to tell you.
John Stamos
Is this interesting to me. Is this a good episode?
Yannis Pappas
This is going to be right? I mean, off the. You know, you said we had some nice ones. What happens is we normally have some nice one right before the cameras start, and then we just repeat them here to silence. Like, you know, obviously, you're famous from Full House and then Fuller House. And then I said, I'm half German. My show is called Fuhrer House. Got a little giggle, but then on camera, you won't laugh. I get it. Can't laugh at the fur.
John Stamos
I did cabaret here.
Chris Distefano
Go sweater shopping together before.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah, well, I. You know me. Yeah, he knows me. Giannis knows me better than anyone. I know when there's a handsome man who's coming in as a guest. I need. Yeah, look at this.
John Stamos
Are you lactating? What do you have? Like, Nice to meet you.
Yannis Pappas
And his shirt's dirty.
John Stamos
This is just.
Yannis Pappas
You got a dirty shirt.
Chris Distefano
Sweat.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
I miss you.
John Stamos
You know, we. We really bonded, the two of us, and we would FaceTime each other. He'd always been a hotel somewhere, like, half naked, like, sure.
Yannis Pappas
What?
Chris Distefano
It is our life.
John Stamos
And we would have this. And you, too.
Chris Distefano
The Beach Boys. You're always on tour, but you can't.
Yannis Pappas
Live the way you used to.
John Stamos
You just talked about you being half naked, and you said, you, too.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. Cause you. I've seen you naked, too. I'VE heard you piss. We've been talking while you.
Yannis Pappas
Prostate.
Chris Distefano
His prostate is strong.
John Stamos
Exceptionally strong. Really?
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
He.
John Stamos
But we would have these great conversations this long, smart conversation. I've learned a lot from you.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
John Stamos
From me. Yes. Yeah. You're wildly intelligent.
Chris Distefano
So are you leaning a little more right now?
Yannis Pappas
Nope, not at all. Now, this may be a question, obviously, and forgive me if this has been asked to you time and time again, but I'm sorry if it has been.
John Stamos
Nudge me when he gets to this point.
Chris Distefano
Okay. You.
Yannis Pappas
Do you. When you come. Is it Chobani yogurt?
John Stamos
Oikos.
Yannis Pappas
Is it Oikos? Yeah. I thought it was Chobani. You've always been Oikos.
John Stamos
Yes.
Yannis Pappas
Sorry about that. So. Yes.
Chris Distefano
Was it Oikos?
Yannis Pappas
You did Oikos. I thought you were Chobani.
Chris Distefano
No, it's Oikos.
Yannis Pappas
It was Oikos. Forget that. Yeah. So it's Oikos. Yes.
John Stamos
Yeah. So Oz. Oz. Was he. Did he trip you guys out?
Yannis Pappas
Did he? He did. He did. And what he did was, is he did a thing that he was able to guess our birthdays in cards. Well, by Googling it. But he was able to get these contracts out. But he had his birthday as 1976, which is what his birthday is on the Internet. But the real birthday is 1975.
Chris Distefano
So he obviously did something on the Internet.
Yannis Pappas
So that's what we think. Because if he would have known his actual birthday, then it's really a mentalist thing. And I. And he is amazing.
Chris Distefano
No, but the biggest trick he was able to do was somehow get 20% of this whole podcast and commission all our road.
Yannis Pappas
Well, that wasn't him being a mentalist. That's him being what?
Chris Distefano
I mean, that was amazing about it.
Yannis Pappas
Yes, That's. That's what. That's. That's why we've named the episode the Magic Frisbee. Yeah.
Chris Distefano
I went to my. My. You know, he invoiced me.
Yannis Pappas
Yes. Yeah.
Chris Distefano
I need for your. I mean, he's taken 50% off of my Austin Gates.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
So I don't know how he did that, but they always found a way.
Yannis Pappas
Now, what are you doing, John? He's doing big TV shows would be these with the Beach Boys, but we know. And again, John's in a different place.
Chris Distefano
They're not the Beach Boys anymore. They're the Beach Elderly.
Yannis Pappas
Right. To the beach men.
Chris Distefano
They need to rename their name to the Beach Old Boys.
Yannis Pappas
Right. And that's. Yeah. Dudes. Beach dudes does. Because the Holly saw them at Carnegie.
Chris Distefano
I saw them at Carnegie Hall. They got many sitting ovations.
Yannis Pappas
That's what it is.
Chris Distefano
The crowd was definitely a little older.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah. Their code for their presale is aarp.
John Stamos
I played a doctor. So if somebody has some sort of.
Chris Distefano
That's a good thing that you're on there.
John Stamos
That's bullshit, by the way. The Beach Boys have never been harder. And I'll tell you why. Because people need. Decency is an all time high and low. And discord at all time high because of our president.
Chris Distefano
He's a fucking.
John Stamos
Okay, I'm not gonna say anything, but I'm saying that people need this music right now so badly.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
John Stamos
It's optimism, positivity. Wouldn't be nice. Fun, fun. So the crowds. And we've been playing a lot of festivals lately where it's like we were at Riot Fest. 60,000 people that were, you know, under 90.
Chris Distefano
One of the coolest things John did is me and my wife were just sitting on the couch and he FaceTimed me from stage.
John Stamos
Wow.
Chris Distefano
And he just put it there and he was like, what's up? While they were playing.
Yannis Pappas
Oh, my God.
Chris Distefano
So I was able. We were able to just enjoy the concert.
John Stamos
But that show was that radio, where was it at?
Chris Distefano
No, you were outside. No, no, you were outside. No, we went to that.
John Stamos
Ye wasn't. It was weird. That's not a place for rock.
Yannis Pappas
Do you now getting a FaceTime like that from Greek family from John Stamos is that. That is equivalent of Jesus. Who else could in the Greek community? Who's a bigger call from Stamos other than Stamos?
Chris Distefano
No, Stamos is big. Especially for the ladies.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
I think they're called on Easter.
John Stamos
Easter.
Chris Distefano
He gave my cousin who passed away a beaut. He is a great human being.
Yannis Pappas
Horse. Look at him.
Chris Distefano
He's also a normal guy. People go, oh, these Hollywood people, they're, you know, just a normal, good guy.
Yannis Pappas
Just a normal guy did a good thing.
Chris Distefano
My cousin had cancer and he did a. He did a little video for.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah, yeah. It's a beautiful thing.
Chris Distefano
It's a really beautiful thing.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
John Stamos
Why am I even here?
Yannis Pappas
Well, I would assume the way you're dressed, you're. You're promoting some type of Hallmark Lifetime motherfucker.
John Stamos
That's good.
Chris Distefano
That's good.
John Stamos
That's good.
Chris Distefano
That is the outfit that you would get. Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
You look like a guy who's lost in Christmas.
Chris Distefano
And.
John Stamos
Yeah, I was just on Kelly and I. And I had to run out and get a sweater because I Said gotta go.
Chris Distefano
Is Hollywood weird now that you're doing the Tonight show tonight? You just came from Kelly and then you stopped off to talk to two like crazy that you fit this one.
John Stamos
You know what I used to call him for help on my panel. We. I got it. Should we work on some my jokes for tonight?
Chris Distefano
Yeah, let's see what you got.
Yannis Pappas
You're going with Jimmy Fallon.
John Stamos
Yeah. Okay, well that'll air tonight. This will air out.
Chris Distefano
You want us to work on it or should we call a couple 5 year olds to do it in crayons?
Yannis Pappas
Okay. It's a Fallon. That was a Fallon hit.
John Stamos
I don't get it.
Yannis Pappas
It's calling Jimmy, but we get a.
Chris Distefano
Couple eggs and just smash them on his face.
Yannis Pappas
He does. Just saying that Jimmy doesn't. Jimmy does more like just make it a joke like pranks.
Chris Distefano
Just kind of like, you know, does games and stuff.
Yannis Pappas
Does games.
John Stamos
Yeah, yeah.
Yannis Pappas
Now what, what, what do you. What are you going to be?
John Stamos
Do you guys know? Have you ever been on a talk like I'm being a. Have you guys?
Chris Distefano
I was actually the first comic to do stand up on the Tonight show and it didn't air, but it was a test show, so I met him.
John Stamos
Oh, really?
Yannis Pappas
That's why another nickname for Giannis is in a neat. In in addition to special new statements, we call him Yanni almost because he almost gets everything and then it just almost. And then. Right.
Chris Distefano
Every TV show and TV shows.
Yannis Pappas
So he was the first guy in the Tonight show and it almost got in the air, but it did not.
John Stamos
I've talked to so many comics about him and wondering in a. In a serious note, because I think he's one of the greatest.
Yannis Pappas
Sure.
John Stamos
And. And I ask so many people, I go, why is he not a superstar yet? And they said, give it. There's no age, there's no time limit for a comedian to hit big.
Yannis Pappas
I would say. I would say that. I would say that. I would say. One answer I'd have is why he's not bigger than he should. Because of course, the talent is insane. It's probably because his most viral video is him in a wig dressed as a trans Latina woman yelling the N word. That would be one. You think that hurt? You think that hurt? If you guys want to Google Mauricio it. I would just think that the powers that be are. Yes, this guy's great. Let's have Tonight Show. Oh, wait, here's him dressed as a trans woman yelling that's it. And saying the nword. And I think that they say, you know what, let's move on to the next guy. Ah, here. You know what, Chris, maybe a better choice.
John Stamos
A better choice. I thought it was the black face. You did blackface.
Chris Distefano
But I mean, it worked out for Jimmy. Jimmy did blackface.
Yannis Pappas
Jimmy did blackface.
John Stamos
Jimmy is the greatest. That guy has the energy of, you know. Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
Kimmel, we're talking about. Yeah, yeah.
John Stamos
No, you're talking about Fallon as well. Kimmel. No, he didn't. Kimmel did. Kimmel.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, he dressed. Yeah, he did what he just did.
John Stamos
What he getting through this. This, you know, issue that he did is. Is remarkable. It's the beginning of, of us sort of fighting for, oh, Kimmel.
Yannis Pappas
And they just re signed him again at abc, so it's good.
John Stamos
Did you meet him with me ever? Never met him. Great.
Chris Distefano
Chris knows him well, though. Oh, well, he guest hosted the show.
John Stamos
You know what? I saw that. I swear to God, I saw it and I go, why the did they not ask me to guest host?
Yannis Pappas
Right?
John Stamos
They never have.
Chris Distefano
Have.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
John Stamos
Jimmy, that's. Yeah.
Chris Distefano
What is up with that?
John Stamos
I saw that. I wondered why.
Yannis Pappas
Why?
John Stamos
You were good. I'm kidding. You were good.
Yannis Pappas
I do, Yeah. I. Jimmy and I.
John Stamos
Seriously.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. Do you think there's anti Greek kind of.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Discrimination.
Yannis Pappas
Well, I think. I don't know. Jimmy has asked. Kimmel has asked me, you know, obviously getting the podcast back with Giannis. He asked me if I do the podcast with a mask on. Because being around a Greek. So there might be. Might be something that he's just feels that way. I don't know.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
John Stamos
When you do these talk shows.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
John Stamos
For you folks out there, you have to like do pre interviews and you literally have to figure out like almost everything you're saying, like what they're gonna ask you, what the joke is, what the thing is.
Yannis Pappas
Sure. It's. It's a little. And that's why for us as comics, that's harder for us because we like to be in a free flow like we are now. And just because anytime you tell me to perform my joke and it's not in a stand up setting, it's very, very, very difficult.
John Stamos
It's difficult. It's hard to do those shows because you have five, six minutes, you gotta be funny, you gotta promote what you're doing. I'm on this new show called Palm Royale with Kristen Wiig and you have to be charming and likable and you know, all that stuff. And six, seven minutes.
Chris Distefano
She's one of the funniest. She literally is one of the funniest. She was people.
John Stamos
She is.
Chris Distefano
So tell us about this show.
John Stamos
I play a lawyer slash gynecologist. And that was. I said, sign me up.
Yannis Pappas
Nice. You could sue yourself.
John Stamos
Yeah, I could go down and. It was great.
Yannis Pappas
It's great.
Chris Distefano
You've done. For a gynecology. I mean.
John Stamos
Yeah, I've seen a couple.
Chris Distefano
You've seen a few of those.
John Stamos
That part was easy. The lawyer part was tough, you know.
Yannis Pappas
Yes.
John Stamos
It was a great character. You should watch. You guys. Your wife probably like it. You're married, too, right?
Yannis Pappas
I am married.
John Stamos
Do you have kids?
Yannis Pappas
I do. I have three kids.
Chris Distefano
I'm sitting between two guys who've gotten.
Yannis Pappas
A lot of pussy.
John Stamos
Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
I just wanted it.
Chris Distefano
I just had that moment. I realized. I mean, I've had some in my life, but I'm sitting between two hall of Fame pros who've gotten a lot.
Yannis Pappas
Of pussy between two. You're sitting between two guys who you can bet almost near 100% have at least one strand of HPV.
John Stamos
I thought you were going to say Eskimo Brothers.
Yannis Pappas
Oh, well, that too. Yeah.
Chris Distefano
I've known Chris for 15 years. And two bouts of syphilis.
John Stamos
Yes.
Yannis Pappas
I went old school. Yeah. Yes. I've gotten diseases. Benjamin Franklin's gotten. That's how. That's the level I was playing at. But now we're good with great. We have a beautiful family at home. Good, good. And now, if anything, you know, we don't. We. We're faithful. We love it. And you know, outside of random sex with men, there's no. I'm keeping in my pants.
Chris Distefano
You're allowed to do that Thought pop through my head. These guys got a lot of pussy.
John Stamos
They really did.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And then. And then we're sitting in a room with Nick, who's in his mid-40s, has gotten next to no pussies, who's wearing a listening. No, no. He gets a lot of put girls love an NWO wrestling shirt. That's what they really do.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, they love it.
Yannis Pappas
And orange sneakers. They were soaking.
John Stamos
I'm sure you did. Well. Giannis before. And your wife. Stunning.
Yannis Pappas
Crush it. No, here's.
John Stamos
The wife is too good looking for you.
Chris Distefano
No, no, I said the same thing.
Yannis Pappas
He out kicked his coverage.
John Stamos
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
You want to hear true story? You won't even remember this because this is just your life and that's part of the joke, but this is a true story. When I went with him to this sort of after hours place, he had a couple of friends, was a bunch of Us hanging out. But anyway, this girl comes over, this woman. She must have been like, you probably don't even remember this. I. I was telling it on stage for a little while. It must have been in her 50s. Yeah, I probably will again. Or maybe I'll just do it here. And I swear to God, she comes up to him. She's shaking or whatever, and she's like, oh, my God. Oh, my God. She's like, I have this story to tell you.
Yannis Pappas
She was like, is she shaking, Nervous? She has Parkinson's?
Chris Distefano
No, she was shaking, nervous. Like, let me make sure. Like, oh, my God.
Yannis Pappas
Like John Stamos. Yes.
John Stamos
We're at Bathtub Gin.
Yannis Pappas
Right.
John Stamos
Which is a great place.
Yannis Pappas
Right? This already sounds like one of my aunts.
John Stamos
Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
So.
Chris Distefano
And then she goes, you don't know. You don't know this, but, like, 20 years ago, 25 years ago, woman was in her 50s. So I guess when she was young, she's like, I went to a Beach Boys concert or whatever. And she was like, you don't understand how big a fan I am. Like, I had you up on my wall, full hat, like. And then she goes, you threw out a Coke can? You threw out a can of Coca Cola? Yeah, like a can. And she goes. And she goes, I went in the garbage and got the can, and I still have the can.
Yannis Pappas
Oh, my God.
Chris Distefano
And my favorite part about it. And then she was like, can I just get your autograph? Or whatever. He was like, you. Because he was just doing the pleasantries. Because imagine your life is hearing stories like this. If a woman told me this, yes, my ego would be through the roof. Or I would call the police and say, I have a stalker. Someone's going through my garbage. But he was so used to it, he was like, yeah, what do you.
Yannis Pappas
Want me to sign?
John Stamos
All right.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, it was just like, another Tuesday for him. So you want me to sign your tit? What do you want me to say?
Yannis Pappas
Is Lorena Bobbitt for cutting off her husband's penis?
Chris Distefano
This was a girl who just told him that she kept his garbage for 20 years. And he was just like, yeah, just kind of. Dude, it's kind of what you guys do. You keep my garbage?
Yannis Pappas
Yeah. Is.
Chris Distefano
You don't remember that, do you? No, I don't. How funny is that?
Yannis Pappas
Well, it probably happens to him all the time. Just, you know, that's odd.
John Stamos
That is rude.
Yannis Pappas
And he probably can't acknowledge it because Coca Cola is not a sponsor. He's with Pepsi.
Chris Distefano
That's right.
Yannis Pappas
So can you change the can to Pepsi. And then he can acknowledge it. Yes, he remembers. I do love Oikos. I love any type of Greek yogurt. 000 saturated fat. 19 grams of protein. It's good for your heart, good for your color.
John Stamos
Do you watch. Do your wife's watch? Hunting wives. The hunting wives.
Chris Distefano
My wife does. Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
Yes.
John Stamos
I'm going to be on next.
Chris Distefano
That's what. That's why she texted me and said, oh, she's looking forward to seeing you on that.
John Stamos
Is that what she said?
Yannis Pappas
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chris Distefano
And.
John Stamos
And you know, it's kind of erotic. The show is. I mean it's. You know, it's tiddly. And my. I went to tell my wife. I said, well, they called and they said, you know, we're thinking about. We. There's a scene. Oral sex scene in there. You know. I said, giving or receiving? I said, receiving.
Yannis Pappas
Beautiful girl.
John Stamos
Okay, I'm in.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
John Stamos
So now. Oh, now I gotta approach my wife. I was like, love, I know. You've seen the show. They're thinking about asking me, are you gonna show your penis?
Yannis Pappas
Penis?
John Stamos
Like. No. Why? You should show your penis.
Yannis Pappas
Pull it out.
John Stamos
I'm not going to show my cut now.
Yannis Pappas
Why not?
Chris Distefano
Every time. Everyone should read Stamos's book. You want to know why?
Yannis Pappas
Tell me.
Chris Distefano
Because Stamos used to party big.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah. And he's open about it. I like that.
Chris Distefano
It's a party big. Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah. Especially with no cameras back then. 80. Famous. Having the type of fame you had in the 90s, right? That's when it was 80s. 90s. I mean. I mean, like what? I can't imagine what life must have been like for you or anybody like you at that time. I mean, Full House was the biggest show in the world and he's one of the stars.
Chris Distefano
I'd give you the book so you could read it, but all the pages are stuck together.
Yannis Pappas
Oikos.
John Stamos
Oikos.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
I dropped my oikos on page 18. That's how old she was. Babe. Here's the thing is I know you just came from Texas. Every time I go to Texas in these deep south states, I always get upset because I can't watch porn. They block porn. Pornhub. And I need a VPN. That's why I want to go to NordVPN, so I can splooge in my belly button.
Chris Distefano
Because NORDVPN is a great vpn. And you just need one. You need one for your cyber protection, for all the trackers trying to track you to market to You. But most importantly, to be able to jack off in Republican state.
Yannis Pappas
That's what it is. Because a lot of times that's the only thing that calms me down after the flight before the show is I got it. Sometimes I start jerking off at the reception desk.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, yeah.
Yannis Pappas
I just start yelling, I'm a Marriott Bonvoy Rewards member.
Chris Distefano
Yes. Some guys smoke a cigar torn. Some guys got to empty the glue gun.
John Stamos
Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
It's what it is. And, and if you're down south and you can't get the point up, use NORDVPN to see how your favorite websites may look different depending on where IP address is located.

And sugar and caramel and cream and stuff. And it's so good, you become addicted to it. We call it crack. It's my. It's my. It's my mother in law's Crack. And you can't stop eating my mother in law's crack. And people come over before they even say Merry Christmas. Like, is your mother in law's crack out? And you know, it's a mother in law's crack run.
Chris Distefano
Oh, I get.
John Stamos
I get it.
Yannis Pappas
Oh, my crack. Yeah, Right, right. Okay.
John Stamos
One year she didn't make it. Everybody. It's like Christmas heroin.
Chris Distefano
Right.
John Stamos
Stuff. It's so you can't stop eating the crack.
Chris Distefano
Right?
John Stamos
Right.
Yannis Pappas
Can't stop eating the crack. Yes. Smoking the crack.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
Butt crack. There's a pirate joke in there. You can make a play.
John Stamos
The FedEx guy said, Respect your, Your mother in law's crack changed my life. I said, how did he get it?
Yannis Pappas
You know?
Chris Distefano
Right. I like it.
Yannis Pappas
I like that. And Jimmy's going to laugh at that. He'll be, he'll be subtly drunk.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
By then. No, sure. Jimmy likes to booze it up. It's just a known. It's great. You can't. I, I know you don't acknowledge that.
John Stamos
You know, I don't know. I don't know.
Yannis Pappas
I've had something like that. That's the thing with me is I like an honest per. At this point in my life. I'm done with the. I'm done with the bullshit.
John Stamos
Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
Like my, like my wife got upset the other day that one of our daughter's teachers, she posts on Facebook that she goes out and drinks on Friday night. I said, what else do you. This girl's 25 years old. You want her to be drinking and doing stuff like that. I don't want any of these weirdos that are going home and knitting and going to a protest. I want her out there drinking, you know, having sex in a car in the parking lot off the Sauna mill. That's a 25 year old girl.
Chris Distefano
Nate told me story when he, you know, Nate Barot. Nate Bar. Him and Jimmy are obviously really close now.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
But this is Kim F. No, Fi and. And Fallon.
John Stamos
Okay. So Garcia is what works with him a lot.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. Yeah. So when they, they way back in the day told me this story. They were drinking and yeah, Jimmy, Jimmy can throw him back.
Yannis Pappas
Throw him back. But it's, it's. We. We all see him at the comedy clubs. A lot of, A lot of guys like to drink. It's legal.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. And Nate used to drink a lot.
John Stamos
And I've never seen him drunk on his show.
Yannis Pappas
No, no, no, Nate, Nate, yeah. Nate likes to drink a lot. And I'm a big, I'm a big Advocate for getting drunk Nate. Back I read ST Nate is what we used to call him Drunk Nate. From the. The Nate that only Giannis and I and the other comics in New York have seen is the real Nate, the fun Nate. That's the Nate that I hope one day pops out well at the right time. Yeah.
Chris Distefano
But I mean, that's the point is like, that was. But he told me this story where he got really drunk with Fallon and he, he got so drunk that he became a little like Red Stag Nate, we used it to call calm. And so he said something to Fallon like that was a little, you know.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah. A little like Jimmy didn't know what to do. Jimmy didn't know how to turn that into a game.
Chris Distefano
He goes, like, he goes. He goes. What do you mean, man?
Yannis Pappas
Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you mean? We can't let them in. What does that mean?
Chris Distefano
Nate was. Ah, sorry.
John Stamos
Now, do we think Nate's doing a little too much the music, amusement park?
Yannis Pappas
I mean. Well, that's the thing. Yeah. No, I mean, I think I said go for it. I don't know. Yes, I say go for it.
Chris Distefano
He always wanted to be the biggest comedy comic on the planet. That was always his goal. I've known him.
John Stamos
But Dollywood, It's a lot.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah, it's a lot. And he wants to be Walt Disney, which I respect the guy's, you know, vision. On.
Chris Distefano
Well, he already hates Jews, so that he's already.
Yannis Pappas
Yes, yes. He wants to name the theme park the Wolf Slayer, which I think is a little much too much.
Chris Distefano
So, I mean, he's the perfect guy to fill his shoes.
John Stamos
Yeah, you got. You comics have been brutal with each other these days.
Yannis Pappas
But this is what we.
John Stamos
Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
What's good, though?
Chris Distefano
Yeah, no, but it's.
John Stamos
Well, it's getting too much.
Chris Distefano
I think it's because everyone, everyone sees versions of people on the Internet that are very one dimensional and they're just like starting to attack each other. I also think that's all that's left to do on the Internet.
Yannis Pappas
And I think, and I think that what happened is too, with the Internet and just with comedy becoming as big as it's become. Some comedians now are not. They're. They're using their platform to not do comedy. And then that for us is like, well, now you're going to get made fun of for that. You have to be funny every time you come on the camera. That's our job. I'm never going to go ever say anything, anything serious, even if you force me to. I'll just make a joke because that's what I'm presenting myself. So the minute you start to get too serious for comics, we're like, now you're going to get abused. And also, that's how we show love. I mean, we've been making fun of each other in the back. Spouse of comedy clubs.
John Stamos
Well, you guys do it with love years.
Chris Distefano
Yes, with love.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
John Stamos
You know, Rickles was like my father the best.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah. Yeah.
Chris Distefano
He was very close with Rickles and he.
Yannis Pappas
Mom.
John Stamos
Yeah. And he said, your father. Yeah, I know. I got, I got the joke. I mean, no, it's here to be fun. Funny.
Yannis Pappas
It was an honest question.
John Stamos
Yeah. And I said, yeah, okay.
Yannis Pappas
Thank you.
John Stamos
My testicles look like. Yeah, you're supposed to. Anything I say is funny, man. Crickets.
Yannis Pappas
Now you're dressed like a Christmas ornament.
John Stamos
Yeah, I know. That was good. I had to. I was on the.
Yannis Pappas
I do love it. Yes.
John Stamos
But where were we? Rickles comedy guys.
Chris Distefano
Rickles was.
John Stamos
I'm. I'm a huge. I don't know if you know Chris, but like, I'm a. I'm a stage stand up groupie. I love fascinating. Outside of Yanni, I loved, you know, Shanling was because of Bob. Dave I got to spend time with. I got to meet a lot of comics over the years and, well, that's.
Yannis Pappas
What'S, you know, about Bob Saget, who we all loved.
John Stamos
Did you know Bob?
Yannis Pappas
I did know. I didn't know him that. That well, but I got to see him. I'm. I'm thankful I got to see him perform live with Jeff Ross and Gilbert Godfrey. Godfrey also passed away.
John Stamos
He did.
Yannis Pappas
They had a great show. Jeff Ross and David Tell had a great show on Netflix called Bumping Mice. Yes. And I was at the recording that those guys were at Bob Saget and Gilbert Godfrey. So I got to watch him live and then you know, sadly passed away shortly thereafter. But what was all. What's awesome about him, what comics knew was how dirty his comedy was. But that was a, you know. No, like, my mother loved Full House. Didn't know that. But when I got into Com, I was like, oh, the old Bob Saget was awesome. All these cursing. But you knew that, like, on the set of Full House, Bob was Bob, but the public didn't know that. That's fascinating. Fascinating to me.
John Stamos
He was. And you know, the bummer is, like you said, like, he had such respect from comics. He didn't know. That's the saddest part about his death to Me was that he didn't know how loved he was. You know, when he died, it was like Princess Diana died or something.
Chris Distefano
Sure.
John Stamos
I mean, the outpouring was insane.
Chris Distefano
Well, you wrote that beautiful article about him that actually I was reading when I was in San Diego. I actually teared up. I couldn't believe you that.
Yannis Pappas
Did you caveat to that? He was tearing up because his stuff. It's ticket sales.
Chris Distefano
I mean, mean.
John Stamos
No, he was killing. Oh, oh, him.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, yeah, that part. That too. Yeah. They were still strong.
Yannis Pappas
It's what it is. Everybody had a little bit of that stimulus money.
John Stamos
You guys are a lot of like, you do the same face stuff.
Yannis Pappas
You call each other kid mentally.
Chris Distefano
No. I remember when our friend noticed it first. He goes, he goes, he goes. Neither one of you guys talk like that, but when you get together, you both talk.
Yannis Pappas
I know my, my Jasmine, my wife. And I'm sure your wife has very. She gets very annoyed when I'm on the phone with him because she's like, why do you start talking like that? It really pisses me off. I'm like, it's my thing.
John Stamos
Stage voice.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. Well, we just had like, we'd like two kids in the back of the class.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah. Having fun.
John Stamos
Just.
Yannis Pappas
But, but to go back to Bob Saget, he was so respected and when he came into the comedy club, it was like you're seeing like a comedy legend where you're like, you know, we see a lot the comedy show every with Louis CK and Colin Quinn and Chappelle. All these guys come, come in, but Bob Saget's like that. It's like it was a be. Like Jim Norton told me once, it was like, it's like seeing Robin Williams when he was alive. Like he would come in randomly, rarely, and then it's like, wow, that's him. Same with Bob Saget.
Chris Distefano
Well, something hide it just so he could write down your jokes.
Yannis Pappas
That's what they said.
John Stamos
Chappelle loved Bob. You know, he spoke at his funeral. He, he, he said that like when Chappelle was coming up that Bob like helped him out and, you know, sure was a good.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
So did Bob Saget get that role on Full House? Just being like a stand up, like a dirty, filthy stand up comic who he was, that what he presented his commie as. And they were like, he might be perfect to be the TV clean dad. Is that how it happened?
John Stamos
No. You know, Jeff Franklin, who created the show, always wanted Bob. Bob was doing like some morning show here in New York and he wasn't Available. And so no, he was. But, but, but Jeff knew him as a comic. Bob used to do warm up in the, in the, like, live sitcom audiences. So when Jeff was working on Laverne and Shirley and I think Bosom Buddies and stuff, Bob was the stand up guy in the audience.
Yannis Pappas
See that, that, you know, what you say, like, about, you know, the music, wholesome with the Beach Boys and all that. I want to start doing, like, I have a sitcom in development right now. You know, I'm, I want to be like, oh, put it like a wholesome show out there. I just know even if it gets on, people don't watch that kind of TV anymore. And I wish they would like that path for standups to get on a sitcom and do that was like the path that's just you. Again, it's still available, but it doesn't. You just. Nobody watches anymore.
John Stamos
Yeah, but they. Maybe they would because you're like, what are your kids? What do they watch?
Yannis Pappas
Like, I'm like, Mr. Baby. Yeah.
John Stamos
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
They're online.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah. YouTube and all that. And I try to, I try to watch, but I will say, do they.
John Stamos
Watch Full House yet?
Yannis Pappas
They watch Fuller House. My kids watch Fuller. So they didn't understand my kids, like, you know, we were. When. Remember episode one of Fuller House? My daughter, who's 10 now, my stepson's 15. When my wife and I started singing the theme song to Full House, they were looking at us like, how do you know that? Have you seen the show? We're like, what are you talking. They didn't understand that Full House was a show.
John Stamos
Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
To begin with, you know, and when we were kids. Kids. But what I noticed about them is, yes, they enjoy the Mr. Beast of the World and the Tik Tok stuff, but when we sit down and make them watch, like a family movie from our time.
John Stamos
Yeah. They love, love it.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah, they love it.
John Stamos
It's. I, I fought the show forever. Like, you know, I was like, well, that show, I don't want to be a part of that. Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
You almost walked out on the pilot. Right. Or you don't want to do the pilot.
John Stamos
I, yeah, the kids were getting all the laughs. I'm like, what am I do this Romper Room, you know, I want out, you know.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
John Stamos
And I've, you know, it took me years of, of. And I've, you know, I've done everything since. I've been so, you know, lucky to done five Broadway show. I was. The last thing I did was with James Earl Jones, and it was a Powerful dramatic play by Gore Vidal. Are we boring? You know?
Yannis Pappas
No, no, this is great. And James Al Jones. Mustafa.
John Stamos
Yeah, right. One of the most, you know, well respected, greatest actors of our. And. And the Last Day. It was a really powerful show and people, you know, it was very serious, very political drama by Gorby at all. And I remember telling him on our. On our way out, I said, I called him Big Daddy. It's a big daddy. He called me Little John. It's a big Daddy. You. You did something that no one's done, Daddy.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
John Stamos
I don't know why. Go ahead.
Yannis Pappas
On paper, John, I gotta be honest with you. On paper, you're as about as gay as they come.
John Stamos
Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
Broadway shows, call men.
John Stamos
Yeah. My wife thought I was gay when she first met me.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
John Stamos
Yes.
Chris Distefano
Well, we're all a little gay.
Yannis Pappas
We all are.
Chris Distefano
We perform.
Yannis Pappas
Yes. I'm saying that as a fellow guy who. Also on paper, I'm on paper. And in reality, because I always thought.
Chris Distefano
It was funny that the black community, that's their big thing, they go, oh, they're going to turn you gay. You know, there's paranoia with all the comics, like, oh, you got to do gay stuff. It's like, yeah, dude, we're all already a little gay.
John Stamos
Gay adjacent.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah, we are. Just the simple fact that we're out here doing a performing art.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
Why is that gay? Because to the guys from our neighborhood, you think the guys working out local 3 electricians are like, hey, look, these guys. Yeah, they think we're gay.
Chris Distefano
Come see our skit.
Yannis Pappas
Come see me perform. Yeah. You don't think that they're taking freeze frames of us right now and making the mic into a huge penis. And then white cream come out and then they'll write Oikos.
John Stamos
So I'm walking across James Earl Jones and I said to him, you changed the perception of me. You know, people see me in a new way. And I appreciate that, Big Daddy. Stage door opens up and everybody's Uncle Jesse, Uncle Jesse say, have mercy. And I couldn't even look at him. And then I finally kind of glanced over at him and someone had their phone out and said, james, could you do Luke, I am your father, for my kid on the phone? And we just looked at each other and laughed.
Yannis Pappas
But you know what?
Chris Distefano
So everybody, Everybody has.
Yannis Pappas
Everybody gets it. Everybody gets it. And yes, you were Uncle Jesse to me, but you've done a great job of now you're John Stamos. You've done so many other things. Jason Alexander being George. I think now is starting to become like Jason Alexander. For a while, we would see him as. He's George.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. From Kramer.
Yannis Pappas
Kramer's Kramer. So it's not. And now you got a lot of fame and fortune out of it. That's great. But I think as an actor, sometimes you want to be you first.
John Stamos
Yeah. But that's happened, so I'm not bitter about it. And then when I hear. When I see Billy watching the show, this Full House is like, I get it now. Like, I get the show is about love.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
John Stamos
And it's like, I want him to watch shows like that. He is love.
Yannis Pappas
I'm telling you. Shows, like, if you do them right, they are like Joe Rogan has told us before. Like, he watches Big Bang Theory with his wife and kids, and he actually laughs out loud because if it's done right, you can do it. It's just, I think so many of them have been done wrong.
John Stamos
Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
I'm going to change that. I'm going to do it right.
John Stamos
What's your sitcom about?
Yannis Pappas
It's about my family, by the way. No, actually, would there be a role. Would you. Would you be interested playing a Latino or do you have to play.
Chris Distefano
You can't do that anymore.
Yannis Pappas
Right, Right.
John Stamos
Yeah, Right.
Yannis Pappas
Can't do that.
John Stamos
Mexican.
Yannis Pappas
I can play Mexican. Yes.
Chris Distefano
Can't do that.
Yannis Pappas
Yes, you can't do that.
John Stamos
Yeah, but what is it? Is it latte?
Yannis Pappas
What is it the premise is? Yeah, it's about my family. You know, I got a wife, three kids, one of my oldest ones, and my stepson. You know, my father lives downstairs. He's like a kind of in and out of jail guy, divorced from my mom. Like, you know, the.
Chris Distefano
And he's got to hide them from ice.
Yannis Pappas
Gotta. Exactly.
John Stamos
Okay.
Yannis Pappas
I'd watch that. Yes. Yes. So, but it's like, you know, it's basically the updated. My version. Everybody Loves Raymond was my show from my neighborhood. I love Ray Romano. It's like my version of that. So it's like your family sitcom and Jimmy Kimmel's producing, and Jimmy's in agreement with me as like, you know what, Chris? Even if we think this may not get the views creatively, if this is the show you want to do, let's do it.
John Stamos
Do it.
Yannis Pappas
No, let's try it.
John Stamos
You should.
Yannis Pappas
He wants to do it with a live audience. He wants it because he's a Norman Lear guy, Jimmy. So he's like, I want to do it like that.
John Stamos
If you do it with love and good writing and good values and good.
Yannis Pappas
Things that's what I'm looking for.
John Stamos
It needs to be on. I watched some of these other shows that Billy's watching, and it's like. It's shit. It's.
Yannis Pappas
Yes.
John Stamos
The parents are assholes. The kids are, like, shitty. All the fart jokes, poop jokes, they're shitty to the parents. The parents dummies.
Chris Distefano
What's he watching?
John Stamos
Billy now he watches your.
Yannis Pappas
Billy's your son. Okay. I wasn't sure.
John Stamos
K Pop Demon Hunter.
Yannis Pappas
Sure.
Chris Distefano
Oh, my kids love.
Yannis Pappas
Seen it a thousand times. K Pop Demon Hunters.
John Stamos
He does. He does. He does. Like Beast. And I like Mark Rober better for him to watch Mr. Beast call me one day, and I put him on the phone with Billy, and that was pretty cool. It's great.
Chris Distefano
Very cool.
John Stamos
Yeah, but Jimmy, you should. I mean, he knows how to do those shows. There's a. There's a voice void that. That needs to be.
Yannis Pappas
What do you think of this? As my parents ready for this? Steve Sharipa, My dad ready for my mom, Cyndi Lauper. What do you think?
John Stamos
Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
You like that? Yeah, you like that? Like that? And then what else? And I was thinking, as my stepson, Nick Fuentes. What? Just to get the views.
Chris Distefano
I like that. I like that. So hot right now.
John Stamos
Scott.
Yannis Pappas
Scott Lanker's working on Scott Lanker from Kill It. Scotty. Scotty. See, he does know you.
John Stamos
I know him, John.
Yannis Pappas
Scott. Scott's a great guy.
John Stamos
You should do that. That'd be good.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah, I'm gonna.
John Stamos
What are we gonna be, the gay uncle?
Yannis Pappas
No, we're gonna get him in. Well, he's gonna play his Marisa character, and that's gonna be my wife.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
John Stamos
Oh, good.
Yannis Pappas
Yes. The Latina we're gonna have.
John Stamos
Should do it on HBO so you can have sex.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
Well, we want to try to do, like, AB Obviously, you know, Jimmy abc. So it's like. But we want to try to do something different. You know, we'll see. I mean, see, I'm very. Also very well aware everybody thinks when there's, oh, I'm gonna do something different. I am aware that the odds are stacked against me, but. But I just want to. What I've learned about failing so much is I'll do what I want to do.
John Stamos
And different is what you want to do.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
John Stamos
Because there's. Nobody's doing that.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
John Stamos
You know what happened? You know, the. The truth is, like, Full House was whatever, but all the stars lined up and chemistry happened. Like, that's the thing. If you get. Have chemistry with someone and you can't cast, you can't pay for it. It just has to happen.
Yannis Pappas
It has to happen. Yeah.
John Stamos
Then you know. But Jimmy knows how to do it.
Yannis Pappas
I mean, he knows how to do it. Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Is that what it is? It's just sometimes it's just like.
John Stamos
Yeah, yeah. I've been on a million shows.
Chris Distefano
You got to put it in. God.
John Stamos
I've had my own. Two or three of my own shows.
Yannis Pappas
That work and it doesn't matter. Just putting star power together. If you put the fourth most famous people. That doesn't work. I always go back to. Even on podcasting, there was a time people don't even. I think this is how it just didn't do well. I think it was Obama and Bruce Springsteen had a podcast that nobody watched. Right.
John Stamos
No kids.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah. Because they just didn't. It didn't work on Zoom. No chemistry. And these are arguably two of the most famous people in the world and nobody watched it.
John Stamos
I want this to keep going, but I have to pee.
Chris Distefano
No, go ahead.
John Stamos
Here.
Chris Distefano
X.
Yannis Pappas
Have to move the tape into that.
John Stamos
Yes. Take that wall out.
Yannis Pappas
That's what it is. That's what it is.
John Stamos
Can I go? What are you guys going to talk about while I'm.
Chris Distefano
We'll do a quick hat.
Yannis Pappas
We're going to talk. No, let. Let him go. And then we'll talk about his sweater.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. We'll talk about you when you. And then you come back.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
John Stamos
And then where is it?
Chris Distefano
And Nick will take you and hold your dick while you.
Yannis Pappas
Yes, exactly. You have an option. We have a yearly. Could piss right in Nick's hat. Whatever you like.
Chris Distefano
Take a. Take a walk with John Stamos. I mean, this kid's on EBT benefits.
Yannis Pappas
Yes. He's on snap.
Chris Distefano
So you think.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Cuz he's got a wild life.
Yannis Pappas
If scoring stable. Look at it. He's got no ass.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
I mean. Yeah. Wait, that's what. Oh, yeah. Pull it out. Turn the cameras around. Oh, God. Yeah. I hope John pisses on Nick's hat as Nick puts his hat back on and lemon potatoes start growing out of his scalp. Wild guy, right?
John Stamos
I mean.
Yannis Pappas
I mean, this is he. The nerves of him. Because we're asking that he knows he can't say or acknowledge cuz he is past the point John line of what could ever take John. That's saying Nick Fuentes. No, he's not gonna, you know.
Chris Distefano
Totally cool with it. Yes, I did. I did whiskey ginger with him. And Santino made him sit in the producer's chair.
John Stamos
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
And he's John Stamos. So he's just. He's a down earth guy.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah. Because I'm noticing he keeps going like this. Whatever. And he can't do drugs anymore. Yeah. It's just what it is. So he's just a little fidgety. It's what we call being on the spectrum.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
Yes.
Chris Distefano
It's what it is. He's a good guy, but he's got. Yeah, he's got a great show coming out with Chris Duke Wiig.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah. Kristen Wig, who's a piece. I think Kristen Wig's beautiful. She's a piece.
Chris Distefano
And she's.
Yannis Pappas
And I. And. And. And I just. You know, we'll say it here on camera so he doesn't hear it, but that story is going to bomb big on Fallon, which was the story he's going to tell about his mom's ass crack. Yeah. And we'll just let it sit and. No, no. I get laughs. It'll get left. It'll get TVs on it. Because he's good at. He's good at. He's so likable. But what Football.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. But what doesn't Jimmy laugh at?
Yannis Pappas
That's the thing. Jimmy's gonna laugh because I know. I know John can't acknowledge it, and I respect John for being professional, but Jimmy will be actively drunk on that show. He's a drunk. When he broke his hand, they said he fucking just fell down a flight of stairs. He was hammered. We know him. He's a comic.
Chris Distefano
He said he drinks a lot.
Yannis Pappas
He drinks a lot. And he might actually one day pass out on the set. And that's when I'll begin to watch the show.
Chris Distefano
I think when he's doing the show, he's just not even there. I think he just goes on autopilot.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah, well, he's. He's fully. I mean, he's got a flask of whiskey underneath his desk. So John. But it's. But again, John. John's from the old school, which I respect, and I like what he said about being wholesome, because I think we got to start doing a little bit more of that. You know, we got to start. Why don't we have one episode a month that's wholesome?
Chris Distefano
You want to do a wholesome show.
Yannis Pappas
I want to do a wholesome episode. But I want this one.
Chris Distefano
We'll call it For Lynn.
Yannis Pappas
But I want to do. I want to do. I want to. I want to call it wholesome and I want to spell it H, O L E Some. And then the Whole. We'll do the whole episode of Butt Plugs.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
Guys, this is my favorite ad. Thank you to Blue Chew for sponsoring the episode and sponsoring my rock hard. Yeah, I like Blue Chew cuz Blue Chew Gold, they got a new one now. It's called Bluechew Gold. Newest innovation from the number one chewable Ed brand. This ain't your grandpa's little blue pill. Okay? This is a four in one beast that's set in the gold standard for performance. We're talking two ingredients for blood flow to keep that rocket piece pumping mixed with apomorphine and oxytocin to turn up the arousal and connection in your brain and body. And Blue Chew Gold dissolves under your tongue and works in as little as 15 minutes. So Devo, you don't have to worry about swallowing a pill. This one dissolves under your tongue. It'll give you the action you need to jerk off to a guy in the back of oneals. Yeah.
Chris Distefano
And it makes you feel really good because that oxytocin, that's that, that's that calm chemical that your body releases on. So it gives you a little boost of that so you're feeling nice and relaxed with the lady. Or if you're having a gay experience for the first time, it' take away the nerves.
Yannis Pappas
Cuz I can't tell you how many times I've taken a Blue Chew Gold and gotten a Rock Hard in the back of o' Neals and I'm going to take a piss and I knocked down the signed poster of Mike Richter. Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Because plus, you know, Blue Chew is good for married guys. So you don't got to have any Ed. You just maybe want to have. You want to be impressive, Blue, choose your thing. Or if you're married and you're a little less enthused about a repeat.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah, yeah, just pop a little Blue Chew.
Chris Distefano
Make the lady feel like, oh, this is the first time.
Yannis Pappas
Because sometimes, sometimes Nick takes a Bluechew Gold and he knocks his hat off and then he realizes that he's also got to take a hint.
Chris Distefano
So what you got to do? We got a special deal for the listeners. Get 10% off your first month of Bluechew Gold with Code Hyenas. That's promo code hyenas. Visit bluechew.com for more details and important, important safety info. And of course, as always, we thank Bluechew for supporting this, this podcast.

Yannis Pappas
One of the wealthiest guys that I know has half of his stuff in his house is from quints. His comforters, everything's from Quince. Because you think that because it costs less, it's cheap. It's not cheap. Everything that it's just. They cut out the middleman and they're just giving you clothing items for what they should. What they should cost in the first place. I mean, a lot of these other companies, they jack up the price just to put their little name on the tag. There's no reason for it. Quince is direct to consumer and I love it. They cut out the middleman and the traditional markup. And Quint, I'm telling you for yourself, for a Christmas gift, go to Quint. They have awesome. The down jacket that I have right here to get me through the cold weather. Yeah. Quints. And it's warm as this jacket.

Chris Distefano
Back in the day, guys would do wholesome stuff, right?
Yannis Pappas
But.
Chris Distefano
But then they would be personally, they would be dirt bags.
Yannis Pappas
Right?
Chris Distefano
And nobody knew about it. Now everything's just recorded forever. I mean, Johnny Carson used to get so drunk. I remember. Who's the guy who used to own Dangerfields?
Yannis Pappas
Who was Rodney Dangerfields? Who was Rodney's partner?
Chris Distefano
The guy whose partner. Who kept. Who kept it? The old guy, whatever. You ever do Dangerfields.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah, of course.
Chris Distefano
Whatever his name is.
Yannis Pappas
His partner. The waiter.
Chris Distefano
No, no, not the waiter. The old Greek waiter. The. Anyway, the owner.
Yannis Pappas
Oh, yes.
Chris Distefano
Tom told me Carson used to come.
Yannis Pappas
In handy to Dangerfields.
Chris Distefano
To Dangerfields. Hammered. Because he lived close by. He would get so hammered he would curse people out. One time he grabbed this guy's wife's tits. The guy wanted to fight him. They had to break it up. And then he would walk home and they'd be like, you can't walk home. You're Johnny Carson. Like, yeah, back then he was, like, one of the most famous people on the planet, but he would insist on walking home drunk. So his. His driver, security would, like, drive the car next day.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
While he was, like, cursing him out, driving home.
Yannis Pappas
Dude. Did you ever hear.
Chris Distefano
That was just what it was.
Yannis Pappas
Do you ever hear that Johnny Carson story about how he accidentally offended, like, a mob guy's wife and the mob guy wanted to kill. He had a hit out on Carson. Carson had to go to Frank Sinatra and Sinatra had to say. Frank Sinatra basically had to say squash it all. Is that a real story? Did you ever hear a story like this?
John Stamos
I have another.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, you know the story. He does know. He did this podcast series with the guy who kidnapped Frank Sinatra's son, which is very.
Yannis Pappas
Why did he do that? Why did he kidnap his son?
Chris Distefano
You never heard about this story?
John Stamos
No, it was a great story.
Chris Distefano
No, you.
John Stamos
Well, because he was a nutter, and, and, and he wanted to make money, and he thought, I'm going to kidnap somebody famous. And God told him to. Actually, he was in his car and he said over the radio, God said, kidnap somebody. And he's. And the radio was off. And he, He. He was going to do Bob Hope's son, but he thought, oh, that's too patriotic. And so I went for Sinatra's. It's a crazy story.
Yannis Pappas
How long did he have him kidnapped for him?
John Stamos
For like, a. Like a few days. And people were going batshit. And he, you know, the MO MG and Conor said, oh, we'll find him. We'll kill him. The FBI, the CIA. And he was like, he. He left the gun and all the stuff up in Tahoe. They kidnapped in Tahoe and brought him down to. Near my house in the Valley. And he went back up there and he's skiing, trying to, you know, trying to throw off the FBI and everybody's trying to.
Yannis Pappas
How did they finally get him? Get. Get him back they.
John Stamos
He released him.
Yannis Pappas
Oh, he released him.
John Stamos
He released him. And then.
Yannis Pappas
Then.
John Stamos
Then they went after him. Then they got Barry.
Chris Distefano
How is it. How did he not get.
Yannis Pappas
Get killed?
Chris Distefano
Like, how did they let him live?
John Stamos
He was shot at a couple times. Sinatra wanted to kill him, of course. And. And. And the guy was a. In his 80s. I became friends with him. I said, we got to do the story. He would come over my house a lot and stuff, and he just. About two years ago, shot himself just out of the blue in a parking lot.
Yannis Pappas
It's kind of sad now, right, that, like, the Italian maf. They're not going to kill anybody anymore. Now, unfortunately, I'd like to get mer. I'd like to. I'd like that to come back. Well, I think the. The other mafias are stepping up. You got the Albanian mafia, got the Chinese mafia. They'll. You'll get popped by them. But I don't. I don't. I wish the Italian mafia just come back. You'd like to see some more bodies and trunks. Some. You know what I mean? Yeah, just the old school kind of vibes. You want that to come back just a little bit?
John Stamos
Well, you got your people.
Yannis Pappas
Tell them, well, I'm German, so we want to do something different.
John Stamos
Oh, yeah.
Chris Distefano
They like to clean the streets.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
John Stamos
So we get a swastika yet?
Yannis Pappas
Yeah. You mean a second one?
John Stamos
Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
Were you.
Chris Distefano
Were you nervous having this guy in your. Your house knowing that he kidnapped Frank Sinatra? Or was it because he was older? You felt like he was.
John Stamos
He was old. Yeah. I mean, at first I was. I was like, break this guy to my house. But he, you know, he's a sweet guy. He was, you know, up. He was. He was. He was a mental. You know, he had mental lunatic.
Yannis Pappas
But by then, he's old. He doesn't, you know, But I knew.
John Stamos
So I met Sinatra, you know, and.
Yannis Pappas
You met Sinatra?
John Stamos
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Wow. What was he like?
John Stamos
Hey, you know, like. It was the. The good story is that my dad loved Sinatra. And, you know, you want to do something. Something great for your. Your dad because you love him. And I. I went to. Went to the concert, and I tried to, you know, call the publicist and whatever. Can we, you know, go backstage and if Frank wants to meet you, you'll know. I'm like, how the am I gonna know you?
Chris Distefano
Yeah, we go.
John Stamos
Rickles opens. I didn't know him then. And then there was an intermission. This little guy, Tony O, comes out, says, Mr. Sinatra, I'll meet you now. So I brought my dad My mom and everybody. And he's taking pictures and Boston people. My mom was drunk, so she wants to hug him. And Jilly Rizzo got her in a headlock almost, you know, And. And we take pictures and you could see Frank's like, bossing the photographer. And my dad's over there not taking a picture. And I could see Frank looking at him going like, you motherfucker. Either that motherfucker thinks he's too cool to take a picture with me, or that's the coolest motherfucker on the planet. He didn't need a picture. He just wanted. And that's how my dad.
Yannis Pappas
You think he was a fan of Full House Sinatra?
John Stamos
Did he just go, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's awesome. I was there with Paul Abdul, actually. Ooh, yeah.
Yannis Pappas

Frank Sinatra may be one of the coolest dudes in American history.

Iconic cool factor. I think you have Sinatra, you have a Dean Martin, a jfk. Very.
John Stamos
I worked with Sammy on General Hospital.
Yannis Pappas

John Stamos
That's right.
Yannis Pappas
Wow, that's amazing.
John Stamos
My dad by Sammy Davis was on the show. I said, who's this Sammy Jr. Guy? I said, what, do you maybe listen to records? I said, what do I talk to him about? He said, well, he's a musician talking about playing drums. I wanted to play drums on the show. And they weren't really taking requests, you know, and. But there was a band set up and. And I was telling Mr. Davis Jr. They won't let me play drums on here. And he's like, hey, babe. You know, and we had this great conversation about music. And I think he got it. And he goes to the producers. Then he comes out to me, he says, just do what I say, man. And I do impression. I do impressions.
Chris Distefano
That's really good.
Yannis Pappas
Very talented. Do this on Tonight on the. You know what?

And he gets up, he says, black, you play dragon drums, right? And I'm like, It was totally ad libbed. I'm like, yeah. And there was a drum set up there. And I go up there and start playing. And he was playing piano and it was. I played music ever since.

Chris Distefano
What do you think?
John Stamos
What other guests you have on?
Yannis Pappas
Do you we had. We've had you.
John Stamos
Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
We've had from YouTube, Ed Bassmaster, another one, Matt Rife. We had. We had on. We had Matt Rife. We have Tim Dillon.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. Our fans don't like guests they like. But we. But you're standing.
Yannis Pappas
You got to be very specific. You're very specific. You've been about many times on the show at special needs Stamo. So to get the real guy in.
Chris Distefano
The fans are already rebelling against those. I saw like a few clubs on Patreon. They're like, what the. This guy?
John Stamos
Really?
Yannis Pappas
What, the guests?
Chris Distefano
Yeah, they just.
Yannis Pappas
They like us.
John Stamos
Oh.
Yannis Pappas
Oh.
Chris Distefano
Because we put it up early.
Yannis Pappas
No, that's why they're like.
Chris Distefano
Like, they're gonna like you guys. You're gonna like you a lot. But I want to. What do you think? Because you've been around for a little while. Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
What do you think?
John Stamos
You gotta go?
Yannis Pappas
No. What time do you have to go? You good? Yeah. Okay.
Chris Distefano
What. What do you think?
Yannis Pappas
Yeah, I gotta go.
Chris Distefano
What do you think?
John Stamos
Where are you going?
Yannis Pappas
I got to pick up my daughter. I got to get all the way back to where we live. I promised my daughter I'd be there at pickup, which is at 2:50 and then I got to take her to Sephora at the mall. She's wants. You know, she wants makeup, so I got. I got no choice.
John Stamos
We don't need him, do we?
Yannis Pappas
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Chris Distefano
But do you think. What do you think about, like, is there been a drop off in talent? Like, do you see like the Internet? Are you upset about it? Do you think, like, it used to be better when there was gatekeepers and have. Has. Has the standard for entertainment gotten lower?
John Stamos
Do you mean actors like guys like.
Chris Distefano
Sammy Davis, Frank Sinatra?
John Stamos
Oh, yeah, we don't have that anymore.
Yannis Pappas
Now we have Tekashi 6 9.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, but who's that?
Yannis Pappas
Yeah, you'll know.
John Stamos
Yeah, but there's, you know, like, I'll fight, but. But there is some great talent out there, you know, and like the. The Beach Boys were looking for a new drummer and I found the guy who's playing now on Instagram.
Yannis Pappas
Really?
Chris Distefano
Really?
John Stamos
Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
So do you think though, then because of that. Because how now it's not. Doesn't really have a centralized location anymore, like a high Hollywood. Can you see in the future a Hollywood type, Holly? A city like Hollywood becoming, going like the way of a Detroit, where Detroit used to be the car industry and now it's just been so oversaturated that you don't need to make it in one place anymore. And Hollywood not having the power centralized as it once did, say 10 years in the future, I think it still.
John Stamos
Does have the power. I mean, everything's still there. The studios are still there. A lot of people go, I'm going to go to New York. And they, you know, what do they do out here? Podcast svg you a law order?
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
John Stamos
Which I did.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Yannis Pappas
Yes.
John Stamos
But no, I think Hollywood is. I'm not.
Yannis Pappas
But for you guys, I think it's different from our, our.
John Stamos
You guys have paved a whole new thing.
Yannis Pappas
That's what I'm saying. We had to carve our own niche and it, like, like, you know, we, we.
John Stamos
When did you guys. When did you have your first one?
Yannis Pappas
20, 18 or 17.
Chris Distefano
We started, we did three years, then we took a three and a half year break and back.
Yannis Pappas
Then we come back.
Chris Distefano
So we've been doing this again for a year. So it's like four years.
Yannis Pappas
Four years. Yeah, people love it. Yeah, people love it. Yes, I do love it. So, so we think, though, that there is an interesting thing where, you know, you start to see like the old world of Hollywood, the old way, it just doesn't fit. Like, like there's all these career opportunities outside of it now. Like, we both done very well this year and we both didn't even qualify for SAG after health insurance because we didn't make enough within the quote unquote business. But we made it all from off our, you know, from our fans are the ones who support us. So it's just, it's just weird.
John Stamos
But that's been a great thing because you can. Directly to the fans, you can give them what they want. They can give you money if they like you. Yeah.
Chris Distefano
You know.
John Stamos
Yeah. I don't know how to make it like, like someone says, oh, how do I make it as an actor now? I'm like, I don't know.
Yannis Pappas
That's the thing. I don't know what to tell. Even as a comedian, I'm like, I don't know what. I don't know.
John Stamos
But to have. But, but look, a comedian call Hitler good.
Chris Distefano
It's. People seem to.
Yannis Pappas
That's what the algorithm's rewarding right now.
John Stamos
That's what they like.
Yannis Pappas
That's what I want.
John Stamos
A comic can get a microphone and do their own, you know, podcast actors can make their own movies now with, with phone stuff. So it's.
Yannis Pappas
Well, I noticed too, seeing a lot of guys now like, like, you know, you see like a Matthew McConaughey doing like multiple commercials that I know he had said on podcast 10 years ago that he wouldn't want to do that, and now he's doing that because I just don't think the movies that they used to do are just worth it anymore.
John Stamos
Yeah, that's odd to. It's sometimes weird when these big guys do these commercials, but, you know, it's. It's like a day's work and it's millions of amazing. It's hard to say that a lot.
Chris Distefano
Of young people will probably only know Will Ferrell as the page PayPal guy.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
John Stamos
No elf.
Yannis Pappas
Oh, yeah, that's what they know him. Elf. Elf is big elf on the should. How old is Billy?
John Stamos
He's seven.
Yannis Pappas
He's seven. So you do an elf on the shelf.
John Stamos
Yes.
Yannis Pappas
Yep. Same with me. Got to do that elf on the show.
John Stamos
You're 10 year old?
Yannis Pappas
I got 10. I have a 15. 10 and 4.
John Stamos
Oh, so.
Yannis Pappas
So they go, so you got to find that elf. I had no idea where. I mean, dude, I didn't either. You're running out of spots. I almost put in the dog's ass last night. No idea where to go with it.
Chris Distefano
Charge up, up the dog.
Yannis Pappas
Last.
John Stamos
Last year we. We left the things out in the office and he knew they were. They're out till Easter or something, you know.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
John Stamos
And then recently he goes, hey, the elf's gonna come back.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah. December 1st, they have to come back.
John Stamos
We did it.
Yannis Pappas
And then you get into fights with your wife over it because what, you'll wake up at 3 o' clock in the morning, you're like, I gotta move the elf. You wake up the dog.
John Stamos
Why do you have to move the elf?
Yannis Pappas
Because you have to. The elf move every morning. The first thing my kids do is.
John Stamos
But I do it at night. You do it at night, right?
Yannis Pappas
Well, we do it. But I'm saying sometimes, you know, putting these little kids to bed, you fall asleep, you're exhausted, then you gotta wake up and then move the elf. Yeah.
Chris Distefano
John's like a big kid. You go to his house, he's got all his Disney stuff, right? You love this.
Yannis Pappas
Yes, I do.
John Stamos
You do? You hate it.
Chris Distefano
Well, my parents treat.
Yannis Pappas
John's a Disney adult that we like.
John Stamos
My parents. Oh, yeah.
Yannis Pappas
You guys. Because a lot of the Disney adults world thing. Well, because a lot of times the Disney adults, when they smile, they have very small teeth and big gums. They're very weird. Google Disney adult smile, Jesse, and you'll see the big gums and the very small baby teeth. It's almost like their teeth.
John Stamos
Why do I have that?
Yannis Pappas
No, no, no. That's what I'm saying. Gotta be one of the most handsome Disney. Yeah. Do the smile with the. Do the Disney adult teeth with the gums and the baby adults. Those are my people here.
John Stamos
Don't listen to this idiot.
Yannis Pappas
It's some. Look at this. See, this is the Disney adult mouth. That's. No, but this is it. This is. They got the.
John Stamos
Find anything on the Internet?
Yannis Pappas
It's gums and little teeth and it's not nice because they look in the mirror and their mouth. They look at their mouth, their teeth.
John Stamos
You're not being nice, but I'm just.
Yannis Pappas
Saying, like, look at this.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, I didn't see a lot of this, but I did see.
Yannis Pappas
I.
Chris Distefano
A lot of them are fat.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah, they're a lot of. To be a very skinny bmi. Healthy. You don't look like your typical Disney adult.
Chris Distefano
My wife's a Disney adult. She's into it.
Yannis Pappas
Yes.
Chris Distefano
A little crazy.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah. There's outliers, but most of them have this. They're either very fat or they got the small baby teeth and the big.
John Stamos
You guys are dark and evil.
Yannis Pappas
We are.
John Stamos
You don't like happiness and joy, right? So.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah, we grew up in.
Chris Distefano
We both grew up in Brooklyn.
Yannis Pappas
So what Wasn't big.
Chris Distefano
It just.
Yannis Pappas
Disney wasn't.
John Stamos
You go to Coney island to die.
Chris Distefano
We went to island to die.
Yannis Pappas
No, that's what it is. Disney wasn't a thing I couldn't just bring up to my brother. You know, Bronx born father like, dad, can you take him into Disney World? He would get a couple Oikos and throw it on my face.
John Stamos
Yeah, right.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. My dad was my dad. My parents treated me like I was 40 from when I was 2.
Yannis Pappas
Yes.
Chris Distefano
So I do that.
John Stamos
Parents issues.
Yannis Pappas
Well, that's Greeks, right? Greeks. You got to work, got to run.
John Stamos
The business now, so far, you've got. You've had.
Chris Distefano
You've.
John Stamos
You've made fun of Fallon, who you'll never be on his show. Disney. You're never going to work for Disney. Who else?
Yannis Pappas
Did they beat up your sweater?
John Stamos
My sweater?
Yannis Pappas
We'll never get. We'll never get to borrow that.
John Stamos
Yeah, that'd be good. What else? Else?
Chris Distefano

Yannis Pappas
Well, who do we have? Who's. Who do we have some fan? How about this? Can I ask you this? This is an honest question.
Chris Distefano
Would like my joke. I just use writing room as children. It's not a big deal.
Yannis Pappas
Is there any way you could pull the strings and somehow get us. Even if it's only on zoom. In person in your seat would be amazing. Can you get us Ethan Hawke?

Yannis Pappas
Looks a little.
Chris Distefano
She looks a little thin.
Yannis Pappas
I did like Wicked one. If I'm gonna be honest with you, all the reviews I've heard is that it could have ended it all. They. They got a little greedy where, if you follow the creative. Wicked. It should have just been one movie, but you want to get the Extra cash. You get the second one. And the second one's not as good as the first. I don't even know. That's what I heard.
Chris Distefano
Movie is.
Yannis Pappas
He could have put Play Doctor over Goldblum. He. He could have been a nice.
John Stamos

John Stamos
Bag cover the cup, but the cup is too small. The whole.
Chris Distefano
It's.
John Stamos
You guys should do this just for the joke of it all, because this is. No, I'm not. This is not a bit. I swear to God. I'm telling you. I had to do it a couple times to see how this woman was. You go in and it's embarrassing, first of all. And, you know, I got a hat and glasses. I don't want anybody, you know. And then I'm, you know, you come here often, but I'm doing jokes.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, that must be weird when they see you walk in there.
John Stamos
Well, I. You know. And then John Stamos, like, next, I'm.
Chris Distefano
Like, there must have been girls at the door just listening.
John Stamos
Well, there you could hear I'm telling you. So she comes in, she goes, do you need. You know, you need me to hold that for. Well, she goes, you need lube? I'm like, no, I don't need no lube. You know, there was a big. There was a big jar, like a glass jar of it, like. Like. Like condiments or something. I thought it was mayo, you know. And so then I said, I don't need that.
Yannis Pappas
You know?
John Stamos
And then if you'd like some pornography, we have the. Sure, please, I don't. And then I'm in there, like, give it all I need all because it's so embarrassing. And I could hear them talk, talking outside. They were talking about. No, they were talking about. I can't remember. Some show about the brother and sister having sex together. That was a turn off. And I swear, here's the bit. I swear to God.
Chris Distefano
So the.
John Stamos
There was a TV on there. I said, oh, it. I'm gonna turn this TV on. I'm gonna put some porn on something. And I turned it on, and whoever was watching, who was everyone was on there before, was on the Netflix page, and Fuller House was on the page. I swear to God.
Chris Distefano
Wow.
John Stamos
And I said, if I'm gonna jerk off to myself to be the.
Yannis Pappas
You just sprayed alone all over Kimmy.
John Stamos
Full House. I thought it was funny.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah, well, whoever was in there was.
Chris Distefano
Jerking off the Fuller House.
John Stamos
Well, it was Netflix or something. But the p. You know, the page.
Chris Distefano
What did you end up jerking off to? Do you remember?
John Stamos
Something with little people involved, I think.
Chris Distefano
Little people.
Yannis Pappas
Yeah.
John Stamos
Now the crew laughs.
Yannis Pappas
That's the way. If you wanted to know, John, what's the best way to end the podcast?
