We are so excited about today's guest, our first castmate to join us on the pod. He first captured the hearts of women everywhere as Blackie on General Hospital, before committing to the role that would propel him to superstardom and follow him for the rest of his life Uncle Jesse on Full House. To Jody and me, he's just John, or Mud, as we affectionately call him. His new memoir, If You Would Have Told Me, is an incredibly poignant and heartfelt look inside John's life and legacy. I cried more times than I can count without further ado. The man with the megawat smile and the best head of hair in Hollywood. We love and adore him. John Stamos, Hi, ladies one, Hey, welcome to how Rude Tannertos. Hello, we're so excited.

I had the same issue I haven't you know. And there's a couple of things that I a lot of. They asked me to write a book a couple of times over the years. I was like, no, no, no, no, I don't I can't write how. I didn't even know. I couldn't even know, like where do I where am I even start? I know nothing about writing a book. I could rewrite stuff.

I've got to do something drastic. I've got to become famous. That was what through my head, and I thought, Okay, if I become famous, I'll have bodyguards. Then they'll beat him up. And to be honest with you, like my whole I remember each you know level that I got, Like, I'll get a TV show. I'll show that son of a bitch, I'm gonna play with the Beach Boys, and I'm gonna invite him to the show and I'll come backstage. I'll be doing a drum soll and my bodyguards will beat him up. And I swear I that was going through my mind up until today. But did you guys have anything that propelled Well, we have a special guest for you, John Oh, come on, I wrote him. I wanted to dedicate the whole book to him, but I'm not sure he could read so. But I do look always forgiven, like we've all. You know, I've moved on, obviously, it's it's you know, I got the last laugh. Probably I'm happy.

Did you ever try to find him or tell him any of this or give him a free copy of your book?

Maybe?

Maybe?

I mean right, well, like a phantom limb of a soldier in war, it's always naying it may I do wish I haven't seen him, but if I do, I would I would be super gentleman, say hey, remember me black eye. Oh yeah, you don't have to stand up, you don't have to clean the toilet, stand up. I wanted to tell you thank you. Without you, I don't know if I would be where I'm at today. And you've you've done everything. You know, you've really propelled me. And I know we were kids and it was the thing. You know, sorry about that, you know, and I wish you the best and walk away. But that I would turn around and say, but you know, the girl that you was your girlfriend? I dated her for three years and she said you were hung like a finch a very small place. So and then I would just walk away. That's sort of the scene there.

Sat that rank drop that you've ever thought about that ever every night before bed or anything.

Right, So I tried to find those moments, you know. I put in a moment that got a lot of attention about I was madly in love with this girl, madly in love with her, and she broke my heart and she cheated on me. I walked in and they were asleep, but I saw four feet in the bed. Then I ran out, crying and running down the hall, down the driveway. And the reason why I put that story in because years later, when we did Full House, I don't know if you girls knew this. The show wasn't didn't do great the first season.

Oh yeah, we were barely.

Oh yeah, we were barely.

We didn't.

We didn't.

Yeah, we were going to pick thirteen.

Yeah, we were going to pick thirteen.

Critics hated it.

Critics hated it.

Well, the oh yeah, we should talk about that never changed the back thirteen though. Before we got that, you know, Jeff went into ABC with Milan Boat and they said, well, why should we keep the show on because we're thinking about canceling and they have dived in the they were leaving and Dave Jeff said, I have an idea, and then Tom and Bob were like, well, and he showed that. He showed this guy. Uh anyway, he showed him a scene of me and Michelle and Dave when we were feeding her cough medicine. Oh yeah, and it hadn't aired yet, and you know, look at the chemistry, look at these guys, and you know, and and we're doing something that no other show has ever done before. And everybody was like, what have you done that no one's done before? We're raising a baby on television. And they were like, oh, and that's how we got the back nine. But we still didn't do great, and so they said, you know, we're going to cancel you guys. Oh no, no, no, but okay, we're gonna try one thing. We're gonna try putting you on after one of our hit shows during the summer reruns, and if you get an audience and it looks like they're gonna follow you, then we'll keep for season two. That show was Who's the Boss starring Tony Danza, and Tony Danza was the one who was in bed with my girlfriend as exactly, so Who's the Boss?

Now?

Now?

Well, anyway, so those are the things, so what else? But then it took me I stopped and thought about what the show meant to people. And like you said, the critics got in my ear and I let them, and most of the time I don't. And they've been very good to me for a lot of things. They love this book, and you know, and then you know something they've not liked it with that's, you know, whatever. But they hated Full House and I and you know, they didn't think it was sophisticated, right, and it wasn't, you know. And there were shows like Seinfeld coming up and some of these other shows, and you know, I felt like, why am I not on that kind of show? What I realized when I was writing this is that in lieu of sophistication, there was sweetness and and and it gave a chance for the brain to step aside and for you to feel the heart, to feel something wholesome and good. And the show. Watching the show made us made us think about the good in us, in the in the viewer right right. And I mean when did you guys come to it?
