Juan Pablo, I beat Juan Pablo. That guy won that year and you shouldn't have won. Oh my God, that was an upset. He got tens all the way across and then some jackass came in and beat him. That jackass is me. That's me. Oh, my God. I'm done with this podcast.

That's right. Oh, my God. I got to tell my wife. Hey, everybody. What up is Bobby. We got a big one. one today, we got John Stamos. You would know him best probably, if you're me, as Uncle Jesse from Full House and Fuller House. He was also before Full House on General Hospital, then

ER, you, Big Shot, Palm Royale. He's also a musician who still performs with the Beach Boys. He's been on Broadway, and now he's joining season two of the Hunting Wives, taking on a new role in a pretty stat cast. So he's a TV icon and music guy. somehow still doing all these new things. I'm going to be honest with you guys. I was really looking forward to this. And this met all expectations. It met them all and exceeded them all.

And the interview goes off the rail about 55% of the way through. So it's good. But brace yourself, folks, for the great John Stamos. Hey, John, good to meet you. Hey, buddy. Nice to meet you. A couple things. One, just so I don't forget,

I want to go ahead and get this out of the way. So I got married, oh, about five years ago. I should know this. And I had Dan and Shea that the artist play at our wedding. They're friends of ours. We live in Nashville. And they played forever for us. My wife and I's first dance song was Dan and Shea singing forever.

Oh, wow. Yeah, I don't know. I just felt like I needed to tell you that because you're the guy. Why don't you save it for the podcast? We're doing it right now. Oh, we're on. We're on Netflix right now. Hi, everybody.

Well, you just said before we get going, I wanted to get something out of the way. Oh, no, I'm sorry. I thought I meant before we got funny and, you know, when we're doing our thing. Oh, we're not going to get funny. Okay, all right, all right, good deal, good deal, I'm wearing headphones because you guys insist on it. So you can't get the full, you know, Bobby. You got a close to a mullet going. And I like it.

That's not a bad thing. I mean, you know, it's coming back, they say. Well, I always have short hair. and we just had a baby like three months ago and it's like why am I going to cut my hair at this point I'm doing this show I do my radio show I do this show on Netflix that you and I are doing

like what am I going to do with my hair I'm just going to let it grow I've never let it grow on my life it looks really good that's what I'm saying but you made a mullet joke what's the matter with a mullet made me famous I got no problems with the mullet would that really be considered a mullet though

oh yeah on full house I had a ball and on general hospital in the Fosahas, yeah. Like, I can picture the early days, but I didn't know if that was, because you had like full top two, though.

That's the party in the front part. Yeah. Right. Because it's in the back. I mean, you're in Nashville. You should know this. No, I mean, I had a real mullet growing up in Arkansas as a kid, but I had short hair and then long hair in the back.

Right, right. That's like, yeah, well, but I think it was, I mean, people said it called me a mollet, so. But I think your hair looks really good right there. Congratulations. So this is your first or second baby? It's the first, first baby. It's the greatest.

You're going to love every minute of it. You know, for me, I think something I've been pretty self-conscious about is that I'm 46 and we just had our first baby. And so I feel like, oh, man, what if we have this baby and I'm at school and all the parents are like 23 and I'm 100? Did you do any research on me, what age I was when I had my first and only child? I know that you, I mean, that was. I'm older than you, man.

Yeah, but your kid's older now, though, right? like five or six years old, why? I have one kid who's eight. Okay, eight. But I'm 62, so I had them in my 50s. I had 50s. You're in your 40s, you said? Yeah, 46.

Do you struggle with that at all or did it not matter? No, I love it. I had to sober up. I was, I was over like 12 years now, 11 and a half, 12 years. I don't think I could have handled it before. But I always want, you know, look, that was always in the car. I mean, my dream since I was a kid was to be married and have, you know, a family and kids. Like, just, I think I probably just got it in just in that.

It's slid in the nick of time, you know. I wouldn't have been a good, probably a good father or a good husband until I had, you know, straighten myself up. But no, I don't, it doesn't bother me at all. I don't care. I mean, I feel like I'm a young dad. I do everything with him. You know, we're at the beach right now.

That's why I see this crappy picture behind me. This is not my house. But I feel like I, he gives me energy, you know, I feel good. Any advice? Just show up, you know. I'm actually writing a book. I just started writing it for, it's called when I grew up to be a man. And I'm just interviewing dads, a boy dance, and just learning from them and trying to figure out how to raise a good boy in this environment of, you know, the manosphere.

And just growing up to respect women and still be strong and be sensitive and be empathetic. And somehow my kids in that, going in that direction, which is good. I got a soft topic here for second. Again, we played forever at the wedding. Okay. No, no, that's on me. That's on me. And that was like my wife's favorite song that you played on Full House.

I also loved it. I also loved like the Dennis version, you know, from the Beach Boys way back in the day. Like I loved all the versions. And so that's a real, real special moment for us. But thanks to Jesse and the Rippers. You got it. It's so funny because I just really did that recently with these guys who do the sing in the kitchen i don't know if you if you're up to that um and i recently just re-sing with them i get

i get i like to look at my dms because i'll look for you know people that i could help out or sometimes i'll send videos to you know um special needs to kids or whatever it is and but i'd say six out of ten dms that i get are asking me to sing that song at their wedding like oh could you it's uh this date and um at four o'clock could you be like sure uh but uh it's flattering It does make a really beautiful wedding song, I think. Why did you pick that song for the show? You know, it was one of those underrated Beach Boy songs. People didn't know it.

I know Dennis loved it. And so, you know, I felt like I could maybe do it just. I mean, I didn't know that it was going to sort of take off and be people's weddings. I'm sure Dennis is smiling, you know, wherever he is about the fact that the song, you know, got into the ether of the world and people, you know, got hip to it because it was kind of I have a sleeper song on Sunflower album, I think. One of the trips that I took when I first started to have some success, because I never traveled ever growing up, small town in Arkansas.

But when I had some money, I went to Japan. And the only reason I went to Japan and I went by myself was because that's where Jesse and the Rippers were famous. That's literally, because I just found like six places from television. I went to Hawaii because of the Brady bunch. I went to London because of friends. And I went to Japan because Jesse and the Rippers got famous. in Japan. That's so funny. So what's your story? You grew up in Arkansas. Did you start off as a DJ

and getting a podcast world and all that? I grew up in a town of like 600 people, 700 people, and then have done radio and television and I've, you did competition show. I was on American Idol for like four years, but just doing the radio show on that I do this show for Netflix now. Oh, you were the guy in American Idol, like an announcer kind of? Sort of. I was on four years. whenever Ryan first got the Ryan got the job in New York doing Ryan and Kelly, they needed somebody to be in L.A.

in case he couldn't get back. So I was like the full-time mentor to all the contestants on camera for four years. And then Ryan got sick once and I filled in, but I did that for four years. So you're a singer like trade dance.

I do comedy music. I'm not like you. I'm a terrible singer. But wait, you, so you were just, but you were mentoring these kids, but you couldn't really sing? Well, when I got brought in, it was because I do a bunch of media and I do comedy. But then I come from like trailer park.

And so a lot of these kids come from where I come from. And so it was that, but I've also been in music for so many years. And so that job turned from one episode into four years. Wow, that's cool. I'm sorry. I should have done more research. I'm sorry. I thought we'd met before.

But I guess we haven't because you said nice to meet you. Yeah. But I had never said that. you never say what nice to me you always say good good to see you because i'm afraid you said nice to meet you can we roll that back no no i said it to you because i knew i've never met you because you're a long lost hero i thought that i uh i thought that i bet you before um so you did comedy and and you did you did you know sagget i did not i met him once he did uh i did an interview with him a long time ago and i found him to be delightfully funny and then i and then i think now

everybody knows this is a long time ago and then I went to a show and I was like what is happening. I don't even know what's happening right now. He was dirty. He was, I was extreme. And you guys stayed close, right? Yes. We didn't start off close. You know, he, he, he, both him and Dave came from, and I loved comics. I still do. I love stand-up comedy. I'm obsessed with stand-up comedy. I try to befriend any great comic out there. I can't do it, but I'm fascinated by the structure, how you guys, you know, construct a joke, the science, the math behind the economy of words. I'm just am fascinated by it.

So getting to work with those guys was, you know, was incredible from that standpoint. But all they really cared about was making, like, the crew laugh, you know. And I was like, I was coming from, I just done a show with Jack Klugman, who was a famous sitcom guy. And so I was, you know, coming to to it with more of an actor's point of view of these scenes and trying to work these scenes. And the guys were just trying to make the guys, you know, the crew laugh and whatever that was about.

And especially Bob, it was, it was distracting for a lot of it. We didn't get along at all for the first couple years. And then I think it was maybe the third or third year, four, something like that season. Bob's sister got scleriderma, which he spent the rest of his life advocating and raising money for this horrific disease. Dave's sister got cancer. And my sister had got diagnosed with a brain tumor. And so all of a sudden we weren't three guys on a show with three brothers grieving, you know, our sisters. And sadly, Bob and Dave lost their sister.

And my sister made it. She turned out to be just, she had MS instead of those glared here. I mean, in a brain tumor. So we came really close then. And then we just started to, you know, realize that there was a lot to learn from each other, I think. And I had a lot to learn. I learned a lot from those guys. But then Bob just, we just ended up being best friends.

and then we were just there for each other through every, you know, all the ups and downs of life, divorces and marriages. But I just loved him so dearly, and it was such a tragic loss. Just one day, just in a blink of an eye, he was gone. And he was such a, he was bombastic with his, bombastic with his love. Like he, you know, he was, he would text you 50 times a day and then call you 20 times to make sure that you got the text and then leave message. You know, he was that kind of guy.

And, you know, just losing him has been a real, you know, life has just been, uh, just a little not as funny, you know. Whenever he joined that show, because I've seen the pilot and it wasn't him, was that awkward for you guys when they switched out that character? That's a good question. Um, I, I think I felt bad for the guy, but it wasn't like, we didn't know the show was going to be. And the show wasn't a hit like for the first season. It wasn't like, oh, that guy's really losing out on something. We were just shooting a pilot.

we didn't really know what we had and I think you know the chemistry of the show is something that you can't I think the show I don't know if the show would have been the same with the original guy obviously but I was a little

I was a little weird you know it was a little weird I think I was more pissed that I had to go back and reshoot those scenes the show the show itself was like you know I was coming off of you know general hospital

and I worked with Jack Klugman and I was doing some sophisticated It was a more sophisticated comment. I always wanted to be on a show like Happy Days, and Vernon Shirley, and working in the beginning, like Gary Marshall shows. And really, in the beginning, it really wasn't that for me.

And it took me a while to sort of settle in. And it took the studio. The show was going to be canceled, about halfway through. And our writer-producer, Jeff Franklin, took a scene to the network. And it was a scene with Michelle and I. And Dave was in it, too, I think.

We were trying to give her medicine. We're trying to do this thing. And it was this chemistry between Michelle and Jesse. And they were like, that, that's what we want. That we want the show to be that. So we started writing towards that. And it picked up a little bit in the ratings. But the truth is that they put us on in the summer after who's the boss.

And whose boss was a big hit with Tony Danza. And that, in turn, sort of gave us the audience. And then they came back the second season to watch us. Coincidentally, years earlier, I caught my first. first girlfriend who I was madly in love in bed with Tony Danza. So, no way. Somehow.

Is that real? It's a true story. Yeah. No way. Yeah. Who's, her house? Your house.

It was her house. Yeah, it was her house. He was the boss that day. But, you know, his show, well,

the whole house becomes successful. So it's kind of a whole circle. but we're jumping around but uh no no i i i wasn't going to go to full house first but i have one other question about that then because yeah i don't know if you've ever been asked this but when you're with working with twins but they're playing the same person but they're also babies did they have different personalities and you had to work with them differently yeah i think one one of the one of the girls was better for like sort of the emotional scenes you know and the the when the sappy music started playing and uncle's it you know and the other one

was kind of funnier. So it kind of broke, I can't remember which was which, but, look, that show, it's interesting that it, it's taken me so many years

to really, to really go like, oh, I get it. My son started watching. Mostly he watches it to mock me. Like, I'll say,

you know, Billy, put away your Legos. Like, you got it, dude. But, a little shit. The other day, he said to me,

he were at the beach. He said, Dad, you have beautiful hair. I said, thank you. He goes, how do you get it to come out of your nose like that?

Oh, God. But I'll listen to it, like he'll listen to it in the car, and I'll listen and I'll be like, wow, there was really, I mean, some of the jokes maybe didn't hold up. But for the most part, there was no central character on the show. The central character was love. And like being a family guy now, and you'll see, it just was like a really great show for, you know, for someone like my son. He's eight now and he's been watching for a few years. And, you know, I get it. It's taken me a long time.

I didn't get it for the long time. I was like, why are people still? watching this and syndication or what was it that really touched them you know but I'm starting to understand it now and I certainly have come around to I've done so much I've been so look the theme of this

my interview with you should be gratitude because I just I just can't believe that I'm still around and still getting jobs and I get to meet people like you who say like oh I like Full House or I like that show or I went to Japan to find Jesse the Rippers you know I just am just full of

gratitude. And, you know, that show is part of it. I mean, I just don't feel like, I'm grateful that I've gotten to do so much other work over the years. I've been on Broadway. I got to do, you know, I still continue to get to do really good stuff. And so I've fully embraced Uncle Jesse and the whole thing. And people want to call me Uncle Jesse. That's great. I was doing a play. I was on Broadway years. The last time I did a show there, it was with James Earl Jones. It was a show called The Best Man by Gorbieda. It was a serious, you know, three-hour drama. And I'm going toe to toe with James Earl Jones,

who, you know, and Dattley was one of the greatest living actors of our generation, for sure, passed away. But at the end of it, I said to him, I said, we were walking. He called me Little John, said a Little John. And I called him Big Daddy. As a Big Daddy, you've done something for me that nobody's done. You have given me a sense of legitimacy. You've changed people's perception of who I am and what kind of actor I am.

I'm being on that stage with you eight times a week has really changed people's, you know, the way they look at me. Right then the stage door open and there was a bunch of fans at the gate at the door. And I was like, Uncle Tessie, Uncle Tessie, say have mercy, say him. And I couldn't look at him. I was like, oh, God.

And when I finally looked up, there was someone by him with a phone saying, James, could you say, Luke, I'm your father? And we both looked at each other. I said, fuck it. Like, that's just the way are to them. And that's okay, you know. So that was kind of a roundabout.

way of saying that I'm okay with all of them. Yeah, I have friends that have a massive song, and they have other hits, but they have one song that people go play the song, and it feels like they have a relationship where it was awesome at first. They did Delilah? Is that it? That was it. Yep, plain white T's, you know them as well as I do. Then they resented it for a while, but then they came back around to an appreciation. Did you have that relationship a bit with that show? Yeah, fully. I mean, that's what I'm talking about. Like, it's just, it's, it's, who's the band? Give me a hint. Nah, because he'll get mad.

I got a couple, but they'll get mad that I'm saying that they resent their biggest hit. Is it the kind of crows? Is it Adam? You know, I think at, do you know Adam? Long December.

I've gone through breast cancer and then helped my mother through breast cancer. And that was more difficult. There's a lot of people who understand postpartner depression. I was not prepared for postpartum anxiety.

Olympic champ Sean Johnson revealed why she had no choice, but to be a gymnast. There was something about gymnastics that was intoxicating to me. It's given me a belief that we all have one of those treasures inside of us. We just have to find it.

Listen to Sweet 305 with Lele Pons as part of my Culture Podcast Network on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back on the Bobbycast. You talk about chemistry, but you go into the second season of a show,

The Hunting Wives. You're kind of the new kid in school, right? Like, here's the new guy. That's got to be weird a little bit. Yeah, you know, I did Palm Rail last. year too. And that, that, that was like I was in sort of in with, Kristen Wigg mostly was, I was playing opposite of her, but I was sort of in scenes with, with, with all of them with, you know, with Alison Janney and, and, you know, Carol Burnett was on that show, and Ricky Martin, it was a big cast. And that was sort of a lot of

acting with them. In The Hunting Wives, I was based, I was really only with one of the characters on there the whole time. So I've never even met the girls. I still haven't met them. So it was sort of like an isolated story of mine. And I played a music man. who kind of gets his hooks into this kid who's becoming a singing, he has a hit on Instagram or whatever and I kind of get my hooks into him and, you know, a pretty dark character. I totally botched that question then because I thought it was pretty wild. I was a new kid in school a lot. Turns out you went to a private. Yeah, it was the easy one. Yeah. Were you, did you grew up in Arkansas, said? And yeah, moved around a lot.

Did you always want to be in comedy or on the radio or what? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Did you always. want to be an actor? You're too good looking to be on the radio. You know, a lot of people say, you know, to some of these guys, you have a great face for radio, but you're a handsome guy, so you should be in front of the camera. Well, thank you. But we, and I'd like to go on the record to say we are on camera right now, just for the record. Okay. We're like literally, you started in radio. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But that's, it was the one I get, I was the one. I wish I was there. I'm sorry I'm, I'm not there because this would have been

better if I was sitting on that couch with you. I saw Shibuzi on there and you guys were good together. But you seem like a funny guy and I think I'd be better if I was there. I apologize to your audience. No, it's all good. You didn't invite me in the studio. I'm going to be, I think I'm in Nashville maybe in August with the band is playing at the Ryman. Have you ever seen the Beach Boys? A long time ago. I saw the Mike Love version. That's what you're playing with, right? Yeah. Did they have two versions for a while? Brian went out on his own, but not as the Beach Boys, you know?

Got it. I started playing with them in 85, Bobby. So I've seen it all. I've been, I mean, Dennis passed away, and then I came in like a year or so after that and started hanging around and, you know, whatever. But how did that happen at first? Like, how did you even know the Beach Boys? I was a huge fan, and I grew up in Orange County here. And one of my friends was the guitar player, Jeffrey Fosket.

And I went to see them at this baseball stadium out here in San Diego. And he said, I said, God, I'm not, they're my heroes. I'm obsessed with the beach boys. I was done in general hospital at the time. It was a pretty big soap opera. My friend said, okay, when we're done with fun, when you hear fun, fun, fun, come backstage because they're going to take, they go off stage for about five minutes, then they come on and do barbarant, and then they leave, and you won't get to meet them.

So make sure you go. So I hear, whee, we, you know, from, from. Fun, fun, fun, fun. I go down on the field, and then a sudden I hear all this screaming. I said, what? And then I realized there was a bunch of cheer that are screaming for me. So I was like, ah, and I started hightailing it around the base, like trying to find backstage around the, so I'm on the field, running around the basis, basically. And I look up on the big jumbo screen.

And there I'm like running like this and there's girls chasing me. And, you know, this terrible mollily hair. I looked like a crow died on my head. These little skinny legs, like Jordash jeans running away from. And I finally get backstage and like, just get in. The door shut. I'm like, you know, these girls are pounding on the door. And Mike Love said, who's that to my friend?

My friend said, that's John Stamber. He's on General Hospital. He's a good drummer. And he said, do girls scream for him like that all the time? And my friend said, yeah, he goes, get him on stage. So I sat in on Barb Rand. You sat in that night? that night.

And they always had two drummers, so there was another kid there. Then they just kept sort of asking me to come out. The next big show was in D.C. on the 4th of July at the Washington Monument. And there was a show in Philadelphia first for a million people. And then we went to D.C. for, I think there was like 750,000 people. And the guest guitarist then was Jimmy Page. Do you want to hear a Jimmy Page story? Would love it.

You got, this is music based, right? Yeah. Yeah. So my friend was, was in charge of teaching Jimmy Page the, what keys were doing, the songs that he was sitting in with the beach boys are. So I get to the hotel before I even get set my stuff to my friends. Come on, let's go up to Jimmy's room. We've got to show him the keys.

I'm like, Jimmy who, you know? Door opens up this gigantic suite. I'll never forget. I was at the Watergate Hotel. Biggest sweet I'd ever seen it. Jimmy Page and his rodeo guy come out. Jimmy's like, I'm 18 or 19 years old. He's like this slinky, you know, that's great Jimmy Page.

You know, it comes and says, you want to drink? I'm like, oh, he had a bottle of Jack Daniels. He says, you want some? I said, do you have a light beer, Mr. Page? He said, okay. So he goes off to get a light beer, I guess. My friend goes off with his rodee because he had some new bee bender, a guitar that he wanted to check out.

I'm standing alone at 18, 19 years old in this gigantic broom. It was a weird chill. There was all these anvil cases around. two. And I thought they had guitars on. So I sit down on this big flowery blue couch. I just kind of sink in, you know, like this. I was like I'm looking around like, what the hell's going on here? He comes out, gives me the beer and I just play out on it because I'm, you know, and he says, okay, what song is, I said, I think you're doing Barbrianna. What song is that? What key is that? I said it's an F sharp. I got it's a lot of F sharp. Screaming at me.

It's like, I'm like, oh. He goes, what else? And I go, help me, Rhonda. What keys that in? I'm like, C sharp. I'm begging for my friend to come back. He finally comes back. I'm like, I'm out of here.

Oh, no. And then before Jimmy comes back, there was a, there was like a tie-died sheet over one of the, like the envelope cases. And out pops this little golf girl, like a, like a. goth cuckoo clock or something. And she was like, was like, you know, in wild hair and like real skinny and gauphy. And she sees me and she screams and I scream and she ducked back under the thing like this.

I'm like, did anybody see that? And as I'm leaving, I looked in these anvil cases and there wasn't guitars. It was like devil shit. You know, like bat, like a, like a, you know, and the girl had like a bat necklace. I'll never forget. Because I saw her the next day, she was with him.

And she was like this little skinny girl with a bat necklace. Anyway, it was, that was one of the first times I played with them. Didn't get any better. But this goes to cut. Do you ever like geek out musically with them and like talk about Phil Spector or Wall of Sound or wrecking crew or like, because I think that's where I would go with those guys. I just want to know everything about that era.

Yeah. I would talk to Carl about, you know, you know, again, like I was in my early 20s and these guys were the beach, you know, it was, you know, it was in the 80s and 90s when Carl was still. around and there was there was um there was about a week of shows that we did where mike was in india and there was a uh a thing in the contract with a certain amount of original beach boys had to be on stage so brian came back and brian was just you know freshly out of the landy you know you know uh exercise that they took him through you know they got to lose all the weight and you know they kidnapped him and he was in Hawaii for a year or so um and he was great he came back and he was like everything you'd want Brian to be.

And I remember we picked his brain quite a bit. And one night we were playing in Montreal and we're coming back. And they had cameras on him all the time. So they were videotaping all this. And I got the tape later. But we were walking back and you can hear, it's off camera.

Brian is asking that we tried to, he wanted to find a piano. And he just had to play. He had music running through him all the time, just as you would expect. You know, it was coming from the angels of just coming through him. And he had to sort of get it out.

He had to play. And we were trying to find a ballroom with a piano. And there was one, but it was locked. And you could hear him going, please, sir, please, you know, please, can we get it? And then the ballroom opens up. And he sat at the piano for like maybe two hours and just started playing songs that we were calling. Bruce was there, Johnston, and my friend Jeff. And it's just the four of us basically around the piano.

And just, Sail on Sailor, you know, Little Deuce Coupe. And he starts singing, well, you never close your eyes. So he was talking about the, the wrecking crew and Lynn Campbell and, you know. Like that's Everly Brother just singing there too, right? Like he was hitting Everly Brothers songs. That was the righteous brothers. Righteous brothers. Good.

Yeah. Good one. Got me. Hey, and you pointed at me. So now I learned my lesson. Thank you. Yes. So, yeah.

But, you know, to be honest with you, Bobby, they weren't, you know, they're not. They, the side guys are, even to this day. But, you know, it's not like, my club loved duop, you know. Like, so we would listen. to the songs more. Like when when when when we were able to pull up any song on a phone or radio station or whatever, I remember driving with him like just him and I from San Diego to somewhere. We're like a two or three hour car and he we were just calling out all these old duop songs and Chuck Barry. We're talking about Chuck Barry's lyrics. You know, Mike was a was a great

lyricist and you know he really admired Chuck Barry's way the way he sort of wrote you know you could visualize all that, you know, you know, trying to get our belt and lose and we were listening to all those, you know, that kind of stuff. So we would listen to music, but, you know, they weren't, you know, they didn't really sit around at talk. They weren't, you know, Mike wasn't, you know, he was the lyricist and he didn't, you can talk about music that much with him. But the side guys, you know, we did, we'd geek out, we still do. There's some new guys in there for the last couple years ago that are new and we'll geek out. I found a couple of years. I found a couple of years ago they replaced the drummer. I found him on Instagram. I had like a couple of weeks to find

someone and this guy is fucking great and he's just this, you know, colorful loves the Beach Boys and has a record collection. So we geek out over Beach Boys songs. And there's another new guitar player. And about six months ago, we added a new guy named Chris Cron, who I also found on Instagram. So I saw you playing guitar in a video and not playing drums. So that's, are you mostly doing vocals in guitar now? With them, I mostly played drums. Okay, the video that I saw, you had a guitar, though. You were up in the front. Yeah, I do sometimes because I just like to be up front.

They like me up front a little bit. I play about half the show on drums. I'd rather just sit and play drums a whole night, but, you know, I like to get, I mean, they like you to get out there. Do you have any cool little Richard stories from when he came on the show? He was great. He was very much, you know, he really put that character on, you know, when people are around.

But then not, you know, you could talk to him. I wasn't, I didn't really talk to him a ton about music. One thing I thought was strange. We went and did that song, blah, blah, blah, blah. I hear you knock him. And we pre-recorded the track. So he could just come in and play piano and sing.

And he couldn't, he was banging on the piano, like with his fingers like this. And he couldn't quite keep up with, because we'd already recorded it, you know. So he had one of our guys play piano. I was kind of surprised. But he was great. We had that set.

There was this, I have some video of it. And I just started calling out Little Richard songs. And he starts playing him and we all kind of played along. He said, you're a little piece of leather and you're all put together. Did you feel like this show a bit could be a fantasy camp for you, especially with the music part of it? because you got to be, you get to create your own rock star dream, right? I mean,

from the band to the famous people coming on the show? Yeah. I mean, you know, when you're going through stuff, as you probably know, because you've, you know,

been on American Idol, you, you look back, no, I'm not slamming that. Like, oh, that was cool.

I was on one of the bigger shows in America. You know, like, so I think when we're going through it, and I didn't really think that, I, it was a, it was a,

it was a, it was a, great thing for me to bring my friends on. So yeah, so the Beach Boys, you know, they've done so much for me. If I, if, you know, if I've done anything, people come up to me and say, I got turned on to the Beach Boys because I watched Full House or I got turned up

forever by watching your own full house, like you said. That's the greatest gift I could give back to them, you know. And so it was sort of a playground like that. Let's take the Beach Boys on. Let's get Frankia. Let's get Little Richard on, you know, let's, and then each week, you know, whoever was one of my friends, whatever one of my friends were nicest to me.

They were in The Rippers. So I could just bring on my friends, you know, to play in that band. But I'm not, you know, I wasn't a great singer. I still am not a great singer. I don't enjoy singing. And I'm a, you know, I can get by on guitar. I'm not a great guy. I love playing drums.

And I'm super in the drums. When did you start playing drums? What age? I was like 10, 11, 12. Now, was that just a set that your family had or one at school or what? I was playing at school a little bit, but then I think I got, I had kind of a crummy drum set. My dad bought me and he said, you know,

if you get practice every day and get good, I'll buy a good drum set. And he bought me at New Ludwig. I'm out here in Newport right now. Yesterday, I got, I hung out with Trey Kuhl, you know, from Green Day. And we just played drums. He's a drum nerd. He loves it.

We just sat in his, got this warehouse and probably a hundred drum sets. Totally geeking out over all of it. And then we just set up two drums, and two of us just sat and played for two or three. hours was like, wow, this is pretty good. Yeah. I mean, these are the things I'm grateful for. Like, if you would have told me, I wrote a book a couple years ago called If You If You Would Have Told Me, if you would have told me that I'd be in Newport playing with Trey Kool, you know, in his warehouse or I'd be doing a podcast with the great Bobby. I wouldn't believe it. Bones. Bones. Yeah, Bob bones. Yeah, Billy, Bones. Billy, Billie Bones. Who's your favorite band?

County Crows. So that's your guy. Yeah. And. Saggett was friends. Saget was friends with him. Yeah, with Adam. And he's also friends with John Mayer, who I'm a massive fan of and had a little brief friendship fling with John for a while, too. Like, that's my deal. Yeah. How did that go with John? He's pretty great.

Yeah, he's pretty great. You know, we grew apart. Yeah, he makes it tell you're dating. What, like, what do you mean, like you guys hung a little bit or just were? He's a facet. If we were the same. Yes, if we were in the same town, if he was in Nashville, we would see each other, or I was in L.A. doing, if I was hosting something or doing something, he would pop in and see me. And then one day randomly, he just stopped following me on Instagram and we never talked again. Really? Yeah. Let's get him on the phone. Let's figure out what this is. Yeah, call him up. Say, why did you stop following bones? I'm going to text him. Yeah. Tell him you're talking to me now and I wonder why one day I just went and he was not following me anymore.

Do you want me too for real? I mean, let me think about doing it and you focus on it's okay. We'll go back to you. I've got no. I think he's a, I mean, he's a genius, right? Not that gives him any right to stop following on Instagram, but he's in another, he's thinking up here, you know, like, I'm like when I'm, Sagitt was really good friends of them. And I'd be around him a lot with Bob. And I, it would almost be like, okay, get ready.

you know, because you had to really be on your toes with him, which is a good thing. You know, he's so smart. And then to just watch him pick up a guitarist and saying, we played, we did a sort of a thing on for Netflix for Bob's, it was at the comedy store. It was a, you know, a thing for both, kind of a, you know, a funeral, whatever we call it, for Bob. And Jim Carrey and showed up and Chris Rock. It was crazy.

All these people just showed up. But I put a little band together, John was playing. man on guitar and drums. It was pretty cool. The Bobbycast. We'll be right back. Tap, send, go. It's that easy to send money to G-Cash mobile wallets back in the Philippines.

No, I never have ever had I've evered to talk about. Except with my kids, my kids are so know. Yes. I'm so

my amante. Uff! That's incredible! Yeah, the telenovela. You're the only person I know that loves a yellow starburst. It's lemonade.

And no, there's someone, like, I'd like to collaborate with this person. This is Sweet 305. Listen to Sweet 305 with Lele Pons as part of my Culture Podcast Network

on the Eye Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is the Bobbycast. Who are your favorites? Well, Green Day. I mean, I like them. I saw them and we were doing a festival of a summer at Riot Fest. It was the first time I saw Green Day play.

I was so blown away. Blown away. They're awesome. That much music and sound and texture from three people is wild. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't listen to enough. like new stuff.

But not new, like who's your favorite ever? Beach Boys, Beatles, Stones, the Who, you know. I grew up, you know, listening to music really in the 70s, Elton. I had Ringo star at my house. You did? How was that? It was awesome and I did not expect it to be. What was you doing at your house?

He was in town to get an award and he had a new record that was coming out and my studio was on property and so he came by and I really expected. him to be, well, one of the most legendary performers of all time and to treat us as what he is. And he did the opposite. He was so kind and generous with his time and stories. I was blown away by it. And did he do the podcast? He did. Yeah. We hung out. And then we talked for 50 minutes. And, you know, there are certain things, even with you, I wondered, I was like, I don't want to go to full house first because I'm sure all you get is full house. So I didn't want to go right to just like, what's it like being a beetle?

But he was just like you did in this, if you don't mind me complimenting you. Like he went right there immediately without me going there and made it so easy that he just started talking about the early days back in Germany playing six, eight hours at a time. And it was so refreshing that somebody

who had that much history was still so open and generous about that history. Well, you did, the very first thing you didn't say to me was forever, talked about forever. Yeah, but I wasn't talking about full house. I was saying, my wife and I,

Had our first dance. Do you know who Dan and Shea are, the two singers, the group? Okay, so that meant nothing. They're a massive duo, and they have a bunch of number one songs, and they performed forever. Oh, cool. Can you send me a video of it or audio or something? Yeah. Will you do it?

Yeah. I'll give you my phone on them. It's, it's, it's, I won't, I want to follow you on Instagram, and I won't unfollow you. I'm going to be unlike John Merritt. That's what John said, too. He said he'd never, I'm telling me. I'm not going to, I'm telling you. I, and I read there.

bio here that says like that you've that you've become friends with a lot of famous people so I hope to be included in that uh list I'm not really friends with famous people it's kind of like famous it says it on your bio but it's like famous friends you're not really friends with these people but you you're friendly if you're in the same place like I have friends that are famous but then most I just know and have a decent relationship with you must have a and I could tell you have a very you have a very just a very sweet open thing about you that I could see why people would want to be friend. But not real friend, but like half friends. Well, I mean, these kind of people you're talking about, you know, like you said, they're traveling, they're doing, they're going, you know, big lives.

And you have big lives too. You have your first child now. You're not going to have time for me. Got a baby. But you may need advice. So you can call me and or read my new book coming out in about two years, year and half. But it's not out now or I'd promote it. No, no. I just start. I just got it. And I'm just starting to write. Just got the deal recently. And I announced it because I'm sort of interviewing famous. Didn't I talk to Tom Hanks, sir. I talked to Kimmel and, you know, some of these guys that I know, and just ask them, like, what they did right, what they did wrong, what, you know, what. And so it's not going to be a book about me saying, here's how you raise a boy. It's going to be just me interviewing people.

You're too early in the game, but. And I got a girl. Oh, you got a girl. Okay, never mind. Yeah, I got a girl. Is Tom Hanks nice? I might unfollow you. Is Tom Hanks?

Finally, Mike laughs. The guy laughs. Yeah, he does. Tell me, is Tom Hanks a super nice guy? everything you want Tom Hanks to be. Just, I don't know how he does it. I marveled the guy. He just will give you anything, talk about any stories.

Like Ringo, you're talking about, well, just, you know, want to talk about Forrest Gump, who's talking about it, you know. He's, I know mainly through, I'm closer with his wife, Rita, who is a Greek, you know, we have sort of a Greek mafia that, you know, hangs out. But, yeah, couldn't it be nicer. You know, he's, the one of the things he's sort of focused on was that he wished he'd spent more time with his kids when they were younger, you know, he was working so much.

But he also said, well, great things you know, to read. Speaking of Greek, were you behind the name change from Cochran to Cosopoulos on Full House? Yeah, because my dad was like, what's Cochran?

Like, why aren't you representing the Greeks? You know, I was, early on, I got offered La Bamba. I remember that movie? Yeah. At Richie Valens. And I thought, and I remember my dad was so mad

because I turned it down. And I just thought, I have really, I'm not, of that heritage, you know, it was, didn't really feel right playing a Mexican character. And my dad said, and Anthony Quinn played a Zorba, the Greeks said, a Mexican could play a Greek, a Greek should play a Mexican. But he was, he was happy when I changed it to Consopoulos. And it gave us all these storylines with the Papuli and, you know, just a sense of family and heritage.

It's kind of nice. Kind of weird, though, they made you not be a exterminator, though, anymore. All of a sudden, your job changed. You watch the show, huh? I've seen every episode probably a hundred times. Like you got, I think you could ask me a trivia question. I'd feel confident that I'd probably nail it at this point. Hmm.

I, you don't have to do that, but I'm just saying. I can't even think of a trivia question. Yeah, I've seen it. I've seen them all. But that was my willhouse. TGIF was my willhouse. Yeah. Urkel.

Yeah. Has Urkel been on here? No. Urkel hasn't, but, but I tell you this, I did Dancing with the Stars, like I was on that show, and I think he did the show too, and he's nothing like... Were you dancing? You were a dancer there? Yeah, I won. I won. I won the show. You did, oh, yes, okay. Now it's going to come back.

You don't know that. No, you didn't. I swore to God, it's coming back to me. And I feel bad. I should have done a little more research on you. I just have stuck down at the beach. No, and I always hate it when, when guests come on, and they don't really talk to the host like they're, like they're, you know, important to. So, wait, so you were on there. I won. I want,

did you, my point, were you a dancer before? No, I've never danced in my life. And you won that thing? Yeah, but my point wasn't about me. It was that Jalil White on that show

is nothing like Urkel at all. Yeah, he's the opposite. I mean, he's just very serious. Yes, very serious. He's very, he's a nice guy,

he's a girlfriend. Yeah. So why did you get, they just asked you and thought, fuck out, I'm going to do this and I'm going to take a challenge in my life.

I would dance with celebrities. I might as well do it. You'll understand this. I never had a plan to do it, but ABC, because I was on Idol, I was going into my fourth season on Idol, and they said, you need to go do that show as promotion. You'll get kicked off around week four, it'll roll right into Idol. Problem is, I'd never danced, and they said no one that has never danced has won, but I just kept blasting, and I won. I just did it for promotion. They told me to do it, so I did it.

That's incredible. How many times you've been asked to do that show? every single season. I said, stop. Don't ever ask me again. I'm never going to do that show. Man, you would love it now. You would love it now. Why? Because I'm telling you, you say you want to dance with Emma Slater and you would learn so much about yourself and your kid would love it if you were doing it, too. No, I'd do enough. Kids. No, I just never, I think, what makes that show good is people suffering. And I don't want to look like fools, you know, like, like, you know, they're, you know, they're, breaking their feet and it's, you know, their calluses, where they should.

That was me. I don't want that. I tore my shoulder. Episode one, I fell down. Oh, kidding. And you won. Who else was on there? You don't have to be that surprised.

I wasn't the only contestant. Okay, you got Erbil. Okay, I got to get that. No, he was not my season. He was just on prior. He said he was on? No, he was on prior. They would talk about him.

Who did you have on your season? DeMarcus Ware who played in the NFL. Tenachio, he was a pop star. Joe from Facts Alive. Ever watch Facts Alive? Yeah, Joe. Yeah. Nancy McKeon?

I work with Tootie on, on, on, on, on, on, on, um, on, um, on, um, on, um, on, um, um, on, Kim Fields, right? No, but I know her. Wait, Tudy. I grew up in that time. Hold on, Tudy. Tudy's not, who, what's Tudy's name? Mindy Cohen.

No. Is that, is that, is that, is that, is that, that's not Tudy is it? Uh, you got people over there. I'm by myself at the beach. Is it, Tudy? Kim Fields was Tootie. Yeah. No.

I don't know. Mindy Cohen was... Mindy Cohen was... Now we're doing character names here. Because I... Mrs. Garrett... Who's Mindy Cohen? I got people. Hold on.

People are doing people things. Natalie. Natalie. Natalie was Mindy Coe. Yeah. Natalie. Are you sure? Well, anyway...

So who did you work with? Tudy, Kim Fields, or... Mindy. Okay. Mindy Cohen. But wait. So who else was on your season that you beat? Oh, from Fuller House? Fernando? Wait, yeah, what's his real name?

JP? One Pablo. I beat Juan Pablo. That guy won that year and you shouldn't have won. Oh my God, that was an upset. He got tens all the way across and then some jackass came in and beat him. That jackass is me. That's me. Oh, my God. I'm done with this. That's right. Oh my God, I got to tell my wife. That was a big upset. That guy was a beautiful dancer. He got tens all the way across the board. And you came in and somehow one, like it was rigged. I was going to call ABC. You're that guy. I'm the jackass. That's how I know you. That's right. I'm the jackass.

I got to get off of this podcast. What am I doing? I should have, that's, I should have done some more research. Wait, so how did that happen? That guy was good, by the way, but he didn't make the photo. He was great. Yeah, he was a trained dancer. So how did he lose to you? Didn't he get tens every single week? Yes, he got tens from the judges, but the people matter as much. The people? What people?

The voters, yeah. And how did you get more votes than the guy from Fuller House? You said it earlier. I'm warm. There's something about me. Bobby Bonds, you little bastard. That's right. now we got to start this over again no no no no oh my god i'm gonna call him i'm gonna text him and tell him

him that i'm talking to you we i remember like i don't really get too invested in that show but that but but i was sort of watching jp because he's a really great guy yeah you ruined his whole life but um and and and then i remember everybody and i did work to like some of the cast going down there watching him you know yeah yeah i met a lot of them during that time. It was a real cool time. And he was super nice, but I think he didn't make the final four, I don't think. I think he made like... Yes, he did. It was down to you and him. No, it wasn't. You heard a wrong story. No, that's not true. He got tens every single week. Okay, but that's different than him, but he didn't make... I dated one of those judges. Can you guess which one? Yeah, I'm going to guess it was, I can guess which ones it wasn't pretty easily. Did you get, was she also a fly girl on MTV or on a full on a full on a on a live and color? Yeah.

Yeah. Paul Abdul. No. No. Yeah. But yeah, was she? Yeah. You know who I'm talking about?

Who did you date? Carrie. Yeah. Carrie Ann and ABA. There you. Okay. Okay. Look.

We could. What? Go ahead. No. Now we're just going to. No. It's off the rails. It's off the rails.

Now it makes sense. But I'm going to do. we got to go back and look at that because I, but I just remember hearing it was a complete upset. It was. They changed the rules once I left. How do you feel about yourself? I didn't,

I didn't kill someone's dog. I literally just, no, it was Fernando. You killed Fernando's dreams. The guy hasn't worked since. Okay. Okay,

I've got four questions. You've already asked them, what full house, this, full house that. Exactly. You have enough full house. You know what?

Now I'm just committing. I'm committing to full house. Go ahead, go ahead. I'm kidding. Whenever they... But that was crazy. I remember that now. Now I know who you are.

Bobby Bowens. All right. So you have to text Juan Pablo and John Mayer after this. You keep in notes? Yeah. Okay. I don't know, man. You text...

What do you have me to do? Adam from County Crows and tell him just to sing this song. Do you know Adam at all? I've met him through, Bob, I think. I didn't want to meet him. Who's laughing over there? Is that my? Everyone.

Everybody's over here. Kimmy. Kimmy's over here. Hi, Kimmy. Where are they? The Gibbler, the Gibbler's over here. Oh, Gibbler's on. Yeah, Kenny Gibbler.

Very good. Okay. I'm not going to keep. Is this a big podcast? It's on Netflix. It's a lot of crap on Netflix. Okay, fair enough. Fair enough.

No, no, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Yes, it is rather large. I'm happy for you. That's great. You seem like a really nice guy. We're going to be friends after this. I'm glad.

I'm glad for you. I'm going to check it. Has it started yet? What do you mean has it started? Like you mean, is the podcast in production? Is it airing? You saw me in Shaboozy?

Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah, we've got a solid 700 episodes in. Oh, you didn't? Well, we waited until 700 to ask me, huh? Thanks. Okay. I was around Netflix early on. Fuller House was one of the first hits on that Karka-Mameh thing.

Did you produce that? What did you do on that show? other than be on it. I didn't want it to be on it. I produced it. It was my idea to bring it back. Ian Jeff Franklin, the head guy.

When they bring... You know what? It was interesting about that, if I may interrupt you on your own podcast, is that we took that show to every single... Now I'm getting your humor, by the way. It took me a few minutes to get into it because you sort of stone fake.

You sort of like you play it kind of straight. But you do have a sense of humor. It took us, we went to that, we pitched that show every, to every single network. and everybody passed, every streamer, every single fan. The last one was Netflix.

I'm like, they're never going to do it. And they picked it up and it was a big hit for them. Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor. Tap, send, go.

Like when actress Olivia Munn shared how she overcame fierce health challenges that she never saw coming.

I've gone through breast cancer and then helped my mother through breast cancer, and that was more difficult. There's a lot of people who understand postpartum depression. I was not prepared for postpartum anxiety. Olympic champ Sean Johnson revealed why she had no choice but to be a gymnast. There was something about gymnastics that was intoxicating to me. It's given me a belief that we all have one of those treasures inside of us. We just have to find it.

Look, never I've ever had to have with nobody, except with my my children, my Amante. Uff! That's incredible! Yeah, the telenovela! You're the only person I know that loves

a yellow starburst. It's limited. And no, there's anyone that you like, you'd say, I'd like to collaborate with this person. This is Sweet-3-0-5. Listen to Sweet-3-0-5. Listen to Sweet-3-0.

with Lele Pons as part of my Coultera podcast network on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back on the Bobbycast. Okay, three final questions, because I'm going to let you go on your vacation. I was going to ask a question about Big Shot. Now I'm just kind of moving through here what I don't want to. I was going to ask about ER. I'm just going to commit. I love that show.

Which one? ER. I like Big Shot, too, but ER was a special one for me. But that's one of those shows, too, where you went in and you had to kind of get to know the cast, right? Like, it's a chemistry thing. Yeah, that one was interesting because I think, you know, that was pretty, you know, high-end television program. And I'd auditioned for it years before. And I went in, it was right after Clooney left. And I went in and I sort of thought that I had the role. They kind of made it sound like I had it. But then all of a sudden

I had to go audition. I thought it was a meeting and then it turned into an audition just for a couple producers. Then it was not like I walked in there. It was like 20 people, the heads of the studio, the network and John Wells. and everybody. And I just shit the bit. I was so nervous, and I was just, it was the hottest day in the valley,

and I'm like sweating, and I'm like, just barely getting the lines out. I was terrible. And I put my head out and I walked out like this. And for years, I'd see John Wells, who was the writer,

creator of the show, pretty soon, and I would just hide from him, you know. Then all of a sudden they, and I was crushed, because I thought, oh, this was my big break,

you know, Clooney had just left. And so years later, they asked me to just be on. And so I was doing the first day. I was on set. And Serena Williams was on that episode, too, for some reason. But there was a plane crash.

And I was, I got in the middle of it. And I was bloodied. And I'm laying on a gurney. And John Wells comes up to me. He's like, hey, John, welcome to show. I'm like, oh, God. I said, listen, I got to tell you. You know, it was the most embarrassing thing, you know,

when I auditioned for you guys, and I'm so sorry. I was such a shit. And thank you for having me on the show. I was like, what are you talking about? I said, well, remember when it came in and I was so bad? And, you know, he goes, what? No, no, you were, you were just reminded us so much of George Clooney.

We said, no way, we didn't want to do that two years. So we waited for a couple of years to bring on. So that was the story there. So you never know, Bobby, Bones. You never know. You always think of people think a certain thing about you like John Mayer, but maybe he just accidentally stopped following you on Instagram. Do you think?

No. Was it something you did? Like, usually like you really have to. I've really not thought about it much. You talking about that reminded me of it. And then I just went one day to his page and it didn't say he followed me because you can look and see. Was he following it before? He was.

Yeah. And sometimes he'd comment on stuff. We had a lot of little friendship. Do you think he just, did you do something? Did you say something shitty about him to one of the counting crows? He must have. He got back to him or something. I don't think so.

Okay, two questions. Do you think he was in love with you? Because you are a handsome guy. I don't know. I don't think so. But I don't know. I can never... I've got to get to the bottom of stuff. I can never know someone's true hearts. I can't get to a lot of the bottom of stuff with you. As soon as we get off his phone, I'm making some calls. This is not a phone, John. This is not a phone. Tushay, Bobby. Okay. Two final questions. Question number one. I've got all day for you. No, no, no. Make it fast. Question number one of two.

Did you ever meet the dinosaurs from TGIF? Oh my God. You know what? I just did. Oh, my God. I just worked with the Muppets. And I worked with the guy who played the dad. His name is Bill, Billy.

And we were talking about puppets and TV shows and stuff. And he goes, oh, I started on dinosaurs. I played the dad. So yes, I did, Bobby Bowles. Good question. You smart ass? You tried to throw me a curveball. No, you guys were on at the same time.

I just wondered if you ever met him. We weren't. You and dinosaurs. You and not the mommy were hanging out. I didn't know that that was the case. Okay. But I just, I mean, I knew the guy. He just told me that he played the dad on there,

Fred Flintstone kind of character, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he was like worked at the name is Bill. Yeah, okay. He does, he does a lot of the Muppet guys, but he was just doing a, I'm in a ride, a new ride at Disney World, which has been the highlight of my life.

next to this podcast. And it's, so I got to work with the Muppets. He was doing Floyd. You don't care about the Muppets, but you will because your daughter's going to be into him. Are you on cameo? Do you, uh,

let me ask you a question. Um, are you on cameo? No. Oh. No. Why didn't you start with these questions? These are funny.

Did you, what's the first show you're going to let your daughter watch when she starts watching TV? The first show we let her watch without just her being in the... How old was she? Three months. Oh, yeah. Okay, yeah.

Yeah, three. We started her with the wire, but she didn't really know what was happening. So... Have her watch Hunting Wives. That's, it's, you know, I think she'll get into that. But that's it. You know who I just had over that was cool was, you ever watched Sing the movie? Yes, yeah.

Yeah, one and two. So, yeah. Mina, the elephant. Do you know who plays her? Can you take a guess? Is it Cloris Leachman? It is. It's Cloris Leachman.

And Milton Burrell plays the Moose. So I'm glad you knew that. All right, good. Okay, next question. Yeah, that's it. Is that, is that, um, me, that, who was it? Was it, uh, what's his name's wife from Saturday Night Live? What do you mean?

The girl. Oh, no, it's Tori Kelly. Oh, yeah, she's great. Yeah, she's great. I was on this thing. I was just on with these guys. It's singing in the kitchen or something. I saw the,

no, I saw the clip. You're doing forever. Okay. Their favorite guest was Tori Kelly. And all they did was talking about Tori Kelly, these two guys. I saw you with Bobby Altoff too. How'd that go?

Better than this. Nice. But you're in person. That's why. You were in person. No, she was a lot of people had some weird reactions about that,

but I thought it was fine, you know. Yeah. She sort of takes the trust to take the piss out of unlike you. Well, we're not in the same room. No.

If I'm there in August, can I come visit? I would love to meet you in person. I think that would be really cool. Do you come to the show? I go to bed so early. I would dedicate forever to you. Okay, you do that. Do you sing that at shows?

Yeah, for sure. Oh. I play a really nice video. It has a lot of bobbing it. It's pretty sweet. Yeah. Then I'm in. I'd love to meet you.

If you'll play forever, let me know when that is in the set. I'll show up. And then after it's over. What time do you go to bed? I mean, you know, I get it. You have a kid daughter. No, I got to get up at 3.30 in the morning, too.

I do a nationally syndicated radio show, and I got to be live East Coast. So I go to bed at like 8.30 or 9. Do you change diapers yet? Are you into that? Oh, yeah. I'm not into it, but I do it. Yeah, you have to do it. Yeah, yeah, I do it.

I thought it would be a lot grosser to me. It's really not that bad. Yeah, it's, you know, until they actually poop on you, then it's like, I think you're going to be a great father, and I'm excited for you. I don't even know you that well, but I just got a good vibe from you. Oh, thanks. You're sort of a good, you're like, you're a good straight man. I mean that in a, I'm sure you're funny, but like you have a very dry sense of humor, right?

Well, I'm letting you be the star. Well, I'm generous in my interview skills, so I really appreciate the last 57 minutes. I thought we'd do 45 or so, and I'd be like, man, that John Stamos was much nicer on television. But you know what? It got, the last six minutes were killer. Yeah, it was really great. When we got into the dancing with Star stuff, that was when this interview took off. Yeah, for you.

You started to yell I was the jackass. That's why I took off because you were yelling at me. I can't wait to tell everybody. That was you. Everybody was really upset about that. I remember because I think we weren't. doing Fuller House at the time, right? It was, how many years ago was that Bobby Bowles?

Like six, I think, or something like that. Yeah, I think we were done. But I remember everybody getting very upset. And I was going to make some calls. And you just forgot or what? I got a call. Who are you going to call, exactly? Tiger.

Yes. Okay, okay, final question. Sure. Last one. This is seriously the last one. We're going to answer it seriously? No, no. I got dinner to eat.

Okay, listen. Oh. Okay. How did they tell you the full house was coming to an end? You know, it was, it was, we didn't know, it shouldn't have come to an end because it was in the top 15 or 20 when it, you know, when it, there's still millions of people watching it. They were kind of like, we think it's going to be canceled. They wanted to go to the WB. The WB was a new thing.

They said, we would do it on the WB. I'm like, maybe we won't. I was sort of ready to go. and I think the twins were ready to move on too. So they said that we asked for too much money. That wasn't it. They wanted to go to the WB,

and WB was like, or the CW, one of those, I think it was maybe the WB and do it for cheaper or whatever. And so we didn't. And so we sort of shot it. We shot an episode and then we,

so we didn't really know it was ending. That's why it wasn't like a great last ending show. It was just kind of like, I think Michelle fell off a horse or something. It wasn't like we, it wasn't like we geared up, you know, for the final, like some of the great last episodes of television, you know. We just kind of just sort of threw it together and it was what it was. Did you ever see the last episode of Alf?

Did he die? No, they came and got him. Oh, yeah, when they were supposed to do another season and then they didn't really get to finish the season. So everybody just remembered Alf being taken by the government. Right. And he was going to come back and he didn't come back. They should have done that with the Olson twins. They should have taken them.

The government should have come and taken them, you know, those guys in suits. And, you know, hopefully they would come back, but we didn't. It was, it was, yeah, it was a sort of abrupt, but, you know. John, thank you for your time. Can I ask you a last question? Yeah, I would love, but seriously, because this is what's going to happen. We're going to hang up and then I'll probably bump into you at some time in L.A. And you're not going to remember me.

And, but we're going to always have this moment of us. being friends, but if you do decide, do you want to hang out in Nashville? This is for real. I'm in. I really, when we get off this thing, we hang up or when we stop the interview, I'll give you my phone number and you text me. I'll never text you, though. I would never, I will never. Okay, you give me your phone number and I'll never text you.

Ooh, I don't really share my number with folks, but I'll get you something. That was schmuck bait, folks. Yeah. You just reel me right in. All right. If you have one question, do you have a question? If so, I'm happy to answer it, but I don't want to hold you any longer. No, I'm fine.

It's just wondering why you're dressed like a, well, you dress like a father now on a sitcom. I wear. Did you do that for me? No, I wear, I've worn a cardigan every day for over two years. Really? Yeah. In hopes that you would be on a sitcom? Yeah.

Just like a new Leave It to Beaver just pop-poof exists and I'm part of it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So thank you. Well, I think you would be great. I think it would be great. I think, you know, standing in for Ryan Seacrest is you're above it now. You know what I mean?

Hey, Bobby, Ryan can't make it. Oh, he made it. Stay back. That's terrible. Yeah, that sucks. It does. It sucks. Okay.

Mr. Samos. Ryan does too much. Tell him to sit out, at least a show or two. He's hosting the local bikini pageant down the street from here today. He can't take one day off this guy, Ryan. He goes nonstop. He did, when we were on Idol together, he did give me money advice, which I thought was super nice of him. He's a great guy.

I've known him for 30 years. He pulled me aside and was like, now that you're making money, do you know what to do with it? And I said, I don't really. I mean, I kind of. He goes, you have to have people you trust. And he walked me through a whole thing. And I was very grateful for that. Yeah, I thought it was super cool of him.

He's a good guy. All right. John, thank you. The Hunting Wives, second season of the Hunting Wives. And when you get your new book ready, let us know. When you get to Nashville, we'd love to see you. Okay, I'd love it. It was really fun talking anybody.

Yeah, thanks, John. I appreciate it. And I'm going to get you my number somehow. Okay, I can't wait. I'll be watching for it. Okay. Good love, buddy. Bye, John.
