https://app.cimediacloud.com/r/TrWACVl1KpGm

John: I always wanted to be famous by the way. These people that go, ‘I don’t like being famous,’ I love it.

Drew: I do.

John: What’s so bad about it? It’s great.

Drew: I do appreciate, there’s a lot of candor in the book because you do admit things like that which I like.

John: I’m gonna need a massage therapist…

John Stamos on Being Bullied as a Kid Fueling His Quest For Fame

John: I wanted to highlight this moment when I went from the caterpillar to a butterfly because I was a dorky kid, I was a band geek and I was into puppets and magic and girls didn’t like any of that stuff…but that’s as I was turning into it. And I was in marching band and this kid was playing cymbals and he said, ‘So and so thinks you’re really cute and wants to go out with you,’ and I stopped and the tuba guy hit me from behind. I said, ‘You’ve gotta be kidding me.’ It was the first time that I heard somebody like me…we were at a block party that night and I told everybody, slowly like a game of telephone and at the end was her boyfriend this jock guy. So I’m sitting in this car and he knocks on the window and bam, popped me right in the eye and it was so humiliating, so awful and I had to walk around with this black eye. I’ll never forget I went to the bathroom and he wrote I’m gonna kill you big nose. And I saw that and my heart stopped, and I said, ‘I have to do something dramatic and drastic here. I gotta become famous,’ and I did. But this guy, I think that propelled me to be, every step I’m like, ‘I gotta get on tv and I’ll show him.’ …I matured, I let go, but I’d like to see him one day, and I’d say, ‘Hey man thank you, you did a lot for me, you really propelled me,’ and then I’d walk away and say, ‘Thank you very much’ and then I’d walk away and I’d say, ‘By the way you know the girlfriend, I dated her for about two years…’

John on Everything Happening For A Reason and Getting Over Past Heartbreak of Being Cheated On

John: Before I wrote this I’d say, ‘I have some regrets, I should’ve done this.’ I wrote this now I go, ‘I don’t have any regrets.’ Everything happened for a reason. I try to find relatable stuff, and I think the bullying was one of them. My first love I was so madly in love, and I walked in and she was in bed with somebody and it just killed me.

Drew: It’s funny because you wrote this whole book and that is a headline, Tony Danza.

John: And the reason why I wrote this story here is because…

Drew: Have you heard from him by the way has he reached out to you?

John:…Here’s why I did it, because I talked about the heartache, I walked in on this girl that I was in love with and there were four feet coming out of the bed. And I said, ‘I’m gonna beat this guy up,’ and he kinda rolled over and I saw his abs and I said, ‘I’m gonna run.’ But I remember telling myself, ‘John don’t cry, don’t cry,’ and I ran down the driveway just tears streaming down.

John Stamos on Headlines on His Divorce and Rehab Helping Him Reevaluate the Situation

John: It happened obviously for a reason here, like if I would have said, ‘Oh forget the heartache,’ I don’t know that I would have been a good enough man to have the love that I have now. If I didn’t go through divorce and some of this stuff. And I tell you I was holding onto it for way too long, a lot of anger about this divorce…I wanted to be married for life and I wanted to have kids and the whole thing, same as you. When that didn’t happen it was really hurtful but going through rehab and there’s this fourth step where you write down your resentments, and I said, ‘Give me that pen, she did this to me, she did that,’ and he said, ‘In the next column, what part did you play in all of that? Even if it was one percent.’ And I start writing and I realize that I had a lot more to do with it than I thought and anything less than truth is paralysis. That’s what I realized and it feels good to just get it out, say I’m sorry for the things I’m sorry for. If I hadn’t had this rocky stuff I wouldn’t have the fairy tale life that I have now.
